Re: Spring walks


 

As I say, mea culpa. I at least do have the capacity to change the photo size, I'm sure. Mind you a separate address for yarny things does sound good to me, I have an ancient and rather full mail 100MB box too and have had to do massive deletions recently, to keep it under 90%.

Amy, how's lockdown with you? Is Miriam desperately lonely for her friends yet?

My brother John and his wife and their sons had a "Mexican Dinner" last Saturday, where each individual surprised the others with a Mexican dish prepared in secret. You won't be surprised to learn that there was some duplication, but they did enjoy it. They do something different each Saturday, to try to mark the week's passing. Two of the boys are home from uni, and the third is a secondary school (11-18) teacher and the schools are closed. The lads are taking turns with bicycle deliveries of medicines around their town as there is a system set up to save anyone having to go and queue at the pharmacy if sick or vulnerable (which is a lot of people, there's a big retirement element in the town). It's all volunteers and no charge made. And it's a great excuse for the young to get extra fresh air and exercise.

I'm really impressed with all the creative ways different people are passing the time, keeping in touch with family and friends and doing things for the community.

At least on Apple devices it takes one click to change the size. It¡¯s really that much to ask? I¡¯m overwhelmed too - cleaning out my email box several times a day isn¡¯t high on my list of things to do either.

I agree. I am on another list where one person (the "listmom") complains when people respond without updating the subject line. With so many people posting from alternate devices (pads, tablets, phones, etc.) changing anything might not be possible. I know that I cannot from my phone and it's beyond difficult from my Kindle. I've been called out so many times that I vowed to stop posting there. (Turns out, she only wants to read stuff that's actually directed at/to her. Yes, the list owner.)

Not everyone has those capabilities and/or time to edit. Personally, I am only marginally above water, so I am completely delighted to see happy things at any size.

Maybe another solution (instead of everyone else having to change and some possibly giving up on posting) would be for you to change your settings to digest or similar. That way you can log into the web to look at attachments, and the rest of us can simply be excited about seeing and sharing photos with dear friends.

?Hi all,

Love you all - but please PLEASE save your photo attachments to a smaller size file! This 9MB photo ate up 10% of my ancient 100MB mailbox and cause me to not receive emails all day. And none of us need the detail that a photo this size provides.

Thank you!

Amy
