You have all heard teachers, advisors, seminar leaders and the like say, “there are no dumb questions”.

Would anyone like to put their two cents in on this?

Welcome, @gloucestre.
There is an app I use for photo reduction that is called Resizer.
It is extremely easy to use and there are about three steps and you’re good to go. Oh, it might be important for me to mention that I use it on an iPad, but I am fairly sure it is PC ready as well.

Feel free to message me if you have questions, mate!

Another couple in Dustin and Jane's group of friends was much more successful with having children and loved the whole idea of being parents. Carl and Lisa had 3 children in rapid succession and all the friends were quite perplexed that they suddenly stopped having kids. Dustin and Jane asked them about it, saying, how come you stopped at three so sudden like? Don’t you want a big crew of children?
Well, we did, they said, but recently they heard that one out of four children born in the world is Chinese, and they just didn’t think they could take the chance.

Dustin and Jane (both blonde) were delighted when finally their long wait to adopt a baby had come to an end.

The adoption centre called and told them they had a wonderful Russian baby boy, and the couple took him without hesitation.

On the way home from the adoption centre,

They stopped by the local college so they each could enrol in night courses.

After they filled out the form, the registration clerk inquired,

“Whatever possessed you to study Russian?”

The couple said proudly,

“We just adopted a Russian baby and in a year or so he’ll start to talk. We just want to be able to understand him.”

@j-jericho That took me a couple of minutes.
It is taking me many minutes.......I still don't get it

Ole decided to buy a book for his plane flight to Minnesota, so to save money he decided to go to a used book store.
He was so thrilled to find a mint condition leather bound looking book with gold piping beauty titled “ How to Hug “- for only a dollar!
Wow, he thought, I better pay for this before they figure out it was labeled wrong! He figured he could always use some tips on how to hug. Who wouldn’t?
He brought it on the flight and started to read it.
The person sitting next to him saw it and said, “hey, man, how come you're reading the 8th volume of the encyclopedia?”

What did zero say to eight?

Nice Belt!
Good one. But what’s a modal?

Another thought: how many times have you seen someone ( try to ) play the Carnival of Venice with about a 6”x8” sheet of music on a lyre?

Not me, oh no, and trust this response as I am not a lyre.

Glad to hear that, Doc. Here is a true statement: I NEVER used a lyre after my freshman year of marching band. Not once.

This is something I also had made into a print. it is available if you are interested, message me for details.

Thanks, George.
...a one time payment of $100 ( USD) to the Light Houses of NJ
Just kidding. I would never do that! I appreciate your kind words

Light-en up Bigdub on our friend GeorgeB.

See you have been taking advantage of the legalized Marijuana laws in NJ and light-ing up there as well. A bit uninhibited you are.

Also note the light is out. In the lighthouse, that is.
I also figured the Brooklyn Bridge has been sold enough by now, so why
not start a franchise to be a lighthouse keeper? There are 37 lighthouses in NJ, so there’s plenty to go around.

Aw, gee you were only kidding. I had already started to pack...

I will have to regroup, get up a lot earlier in the morning and think of something a little more clever to fool this guy.

@dr-go
THERE ARE NUMBERS?

@dr-go
No, but I have had to wear a mask while wearing glasses, so I have been entitled to quite a bit of condensation.

(Edit) - just noticed the painting of the rabbit. Are there echoes of Munch's The Scream?

Ahh. The Munch's The Scream is actually a Dog: Spaniel

Ain’t nothin but a hound dog

Here’s a T-shirt you can get for half price.
Here's some other funny ones.

I can only laud Dutch hospitals... they have discarded the Central Kitchen idea and have installed a working kitchen, manned 24/7, for every ward... when I was down in a small-town hospital last year with severe septicaemia, the nurses on my ward found out that it was my birthday that day, so they persuaded the ward chef to prepare a special dinner for me... roast chicken fillets with a nice rich gravy, roast potatoes and vegetable skewers, with a crisp salad... and as a dessert, all the staff - eight people! - escorted an enormous ice cream creation with fresh fruit, and sang Happy Birthday for me... they really made me feel at home there. Thank you.
By comparison, the English hospital I fled from the week before served cold porridge for every breakfast, followed fifteen minutes later by cold tea and, another fifteen minutes later, some cold burnt toast...

At least there was some kind of a theme.
Incidentally, by the way, I am extremely easy to please when it comes to food, and I rarely complain. Somehow I still recognize great food as well.. makes no sense, right?

Two friends were looking at a satellite image of Crater Lake National Park. One of them said a meteor made the lake.
The other one said, looking closer at the image, whew! That was close!
It barely missed the Headquarters and visitor center!

@barliman2001 said in How about a "Random Meaningless Image...let's see them string"?:

@bigdub Extremely rare... especially as in that picture a heron is standing in for the stork...

He was an auxiliary back up. The Stork had a day off, maybe
