I'm sure if you put up a "Help, Wa'il!!!" he will. I'm not sure, but I think the problem may be the resolution of the photo. If you know how to change the resolution (it's usually in "image size") make it 72. That should shrink it.

If this is Greek to you -- it's barely more than that to me. It's something I've learned, but can't explain -- Send out an S.O.S. I think this happened to someone else a few weeks ago and Wa'il worked his magic.

But you're a very THIN giant

Default Help Wa'il !!

Thanks for the suggestion - I know nothing about changing the resolution of the picture.
Perhaps Wa'il will read this and work his magic. I don't even know how to try to reach him directly - when I try a search I am told there is no such user
Anyway, I will keep trying
Thanks

Pat, find the post by Tamarian a few posts up in this thread. Click on the private messaging icon at the bottom of the post and send him a message. (He may well see this anyway, but that's a way to contact him directly.)

Default THANKS

Thanks everyone for the help & the kind words
Particularly Wa'il, for re-sizing the pic
I think I will wait a while before trying anything as adventurous as this again
Anyway, there I am - a total LC success
Bye for now
Pat

Pat, you ARE a success!

You look fantastic, and I have to echo Nat...what gorgeous arms. I'm curious, are you following any particular exercise regimen?

... Cause lady, I want arms like yours!

Congrats,
Muse

Default Exercise Routine

Thanks Muse & Nat
I don't really do anything special for my arms at all
My main exercise is brisk walking for 45 minutes a day, at least 4 times a week. When the weather is bad, I go inside and do it on a treadmill at a gym. I occasionally do weights, but not consistently.
I am an avid golfer, and when this pic was taken we were on a golf vacation, which means playing about 4 times a week - swinging those clubs might just help tone the arms
Then again, lugging around heavy boxes of books doesn't hurt either, and I have been doing a lot of that lately
Can't think of anything else.
Cheers
Pat
