I do some of this but I use some high-end software. Some of the below may work (Note: I have not tried them.)




If these don't work for you, let me know. I will try to work something out for you.
Fantastic. This should get me going. I appreciate it. I would love to be computer literate but I am from a different generation.
 
This morning's haul. Life is good.

Follow-up on my Facebook post. Posts from friends have been deleted daily, especially during the election cycle. It's obviously one-sided. Twitter must be worse. Freedom of speech does not exist in much of social media, unless you think like them then you can post whatever you want.

This is the truth. Anything that appears conservative may get you in facebook jail and the comment deleted. It is unreal but we see it on the political board too. We have lost a lot of good posters because of this. Some may never return and I don't really blame them
 


Morning Legionnaires!

Here's to hoping everyone is without pain and enjoying life at this time (outside of the obvious national problems). Went out to Ft. Sill for the first time in about a month to pick up my wife from work (her car in shop). Went to see a couple of past co-workers and everyone was wearing a mask. When I left (retired) they were leaving it up to the office and each person although when walking in building you had to have it on. Now, everyone keeps it on all day. Not sure any of this is necessary because this virus spreads regardless of what we do. Need to just let it run its course.

Some of these people remind me of the video below:

I may be the only one but the Wizard of OZ freaked me out as a kid and I have never liked that movie
 
I have zero social media except this site. I did initially have facebook whenever it was that it first came out.
My cousin told me about and said he had been able to to contact some old high school friends. So I did it and intially it was great.
Got in touch with a lot of old friends and some old football buddies but then people I saw regularly or people I attneded church with started with friend requests and I got out. It was turning into a gossip and whine group and I am out on that. Haven't had in probably 13-14 years and don't miss it at all.

I completely understand why people keep the service because it's a great way to stay in touch with friends and family from out of town. My sister sent me many pics of her grandkids via Facebook. She'll just have to send them to my e-mail from now on. I thought about trying Parlor but decided to make a clean break. I'll stay in touch via e-mail and telephone or really do it right and visit in person. Gives us a good reason for a road trip.

It and other social media sure has changed our society. What a difference in the way people treat each other. You can insult and threaten people over the internet in ways you could never get away with face to face
 
Morning folks, it is a sunny 44.2°F on our way to mid 60's.

I enjoy FaceBook at it is a good place to store pictures for free. I have a bunch of folks that I have unfollowed because of politics and religion, but I really enjoy staying in contact with old friends and class mates.

My Clerk started my FaceBook when I was Commissioner. It is beneficial to me. I have never tried Twitter.
 
Good morning D!

Scum of the earth was in our neighborhood last night, our neighbor came over and told me to check our cars, theirs was broken into last night, ours were ok, we keep ours locked! Then we get a message that showed that some more were gotten into in our area, someone is going to get shot!!!!! Going to put a sign out on our tree that says Mr. Smith and Wesson lives here, do you want to take a chance!!!!

I hope the D, has a great day!!!!!

Wow cord, this is no way to have to live. If the sheriff can't stop it, citizens must
 
Actually, I think the doll would be a better choice.

I have a computer question. Do you know or recommend a program to change old black & white photos into colorized. This is a picture taken by my mother of the old home place that was changed into color and I was surprised at the quality and realism. It is just as my eyes remember it from my childhood. I would love to get my hands on something like that because I have 100's of old family photos, many are over 100 years old.

When I was with the Army Recruiting Command Facebook was just gaining steam. The Army decided to use it and I was "made" to create an account to manage the Army account for our Battalion and Brigade. (Seems about 2005 or so.) Back then my family asked why I'd have such an account. "I have to for work..." Smart aleck kids.. yeah sure Dad...

Fast forward to today. I have 42 friends. Mostly immediate Family members and a couple of people I was in the Army with and a couple I grew up with and that is it. (I do not even have one co-worker friended.)

My "kids" hundreds upon hundreds of people they very likely have NEVER met.

Were you with USAREC at command level or BDE or BN?

Rooster, can you do anything with this old photo? This is the back of the house of my old home place. Mom took it about 1945. The trees behind the old 39 Mercury coupe are Australian pines and the trees to the right of them are orange trees. The house did not have electricity then or indoor plumbing. When the boys got back from WWII they added that. Thanks

I have got to get into this with my 100's of very old photos. It seems the details are much better in color

I know how you feel. I live way out in the country on a one lane road. Closest neighbors are my parents nearly a mile away. We have a shop and tool shed near my parents house, where we store our farm equipment. Had some items stolen in July. Have since put up a couple security cameras. Gonna be hard to keep me from shooting the first one I catch on camera.

All! I was at HQ at Knox and BDE, also an IMS and an IMO in SA at BN and BDE level along with another position or two. (Was a contractor for four years with USAREC too.)(I started with USAREC the day before 9/11 at Knox. Was last with USAREC in 2011 in SA.)

I hate a thief, oh how I hate a thief. Nothing gets me angrier than someone stealing.

If I have something you want and you need it more than me, you can have it. Just ask, don't steal it from me. I give away most of what I own it seems so stealing irritates me a little more than normal I guess.

I'll put in a call to Ted Turner for you.

Yes Sir, I am sure with you. I cannot stand a thief or a liar. I do not tolerate either.

We have lots of “dopeheads” I call them, running the road all night long. They steal in order to buy the drugs. I wouldn’t give them the time of day.

That picture brings back memories of when I was a kid and we'd visit my aunt (favorite aunt of many) and uncle in S. KY. Theiir house in the country was built up on blocks like that. Hot summer day and their two (maybe three) dogs spent the entire day under the house trying to cool off.

Loved going to their farm. Play in the big ol barn (if the tobacco wasn't drying), check out the smoke house, play down by the creek, shoot .22 rifle, pick watermelons from the garden, etc. All the things us city boys couldn't do at home.

I don't consider myself a hard case but the elderly and children I will do about anything for in a second. An able-bodied man who is begging or won't work I'd be able to watch starve. (I can attest to what you can do if you get in a hopeless situation. I'd rather not eat than to beg. I'd easily go hungry. (Got down to 153 pounds once after knee surgery (In Middlesboro actually) and I had some hard luck. I know what I would do, I am not guessing what I would do, I know.)

Same Here. I learn from validity, my opinion, is just that and subject to change but not up for negotiation or argument.

Gun theft? Cowboy cure.

That reminds me of the coon hunting story Jerry Clower used to tell, when the dogs came running out from under the porch. They knew we was going coon hunting. Love that story.

It always amazed me that liberals preach tolerance, but it doesn't apply to the opinions of conservatives.
 
Since some are discussing old photos, let me pose the question to all of you. Does anyone know a a person, or business, that converts 8 mm film to a disc? I found some old rolls of film from when I was a kid and thought that it would make a nice Christmas present for my sister.
Legacy Box is advertised on Rush's show but I have not used it. I have a bunch of tapes from the late 40's and early 50's my dad made. Lots of old UK ball games on them. Maybe some day
