Heaven Admin Makes Word Pictures

Here I have all these beautiful photos of Phoenix, and, not only am I not able to get the photos up on this blog  — that is nothing new — but nor have Carol and Teresa, who are computer whizzes, been able to figure out how to either. Goodness knows, we’ve all tried.

So then all I have to do is what I always do –  send the photos as attachments to Santhan who so generously and graciously, puts them up on the blog, as if he had nothing else to do.

As you know, for some unknown reason, I can receive in my Outlook program while I’m here using wireless but cannot send. So I have been using Squirrel Mail.

From the day I arrived, I’ve been downloading photos from my camera onto Outlook, but the photos sit in no man’s land, panting to get onto this blog. I simply do not know how to send attachments from Squirrel mail, and I am unable to get the photos into Squirrel mail  in the first place anyway.

I thought I had it figured out. I opened up a gmail account. Then all I would have to do is  download the photos from Picasa again — this time into my new gmail account.

So what could go wrong now?

Perhaps Picasa is having difficulties. I can send the photos from Picasa but they won’t arrive in my gmail account.  Aughh. I tested and sent them to my Outlook account, and the eager photos don’t arrive there any longer either.

Meanwhile, early on, I wrote Heaven Admin:

It’s really beautiful in Phoenix. Bright red flowers (Bougainvillea) and palm trees.

Heaven Admin sure knows how to make word pictures. He emailed back:

Awesome! Bougainvilleas flow over God’s patio forming a frame to His view of the universe.

Today I was struck into stillness watching the winter say its hello here in South Africa with a majestic display in the Heavens. Multiple rainbows, a gateway to Narnia, clouds glowing crimson with the setting sun and a potent blue ocean.

Querida, the Bougenvilla flowers must be like the burning wings of the Phoenix.

Meanwhile, until the photos can get up, I hold back blog entries about Phoenix and the Godwriting workshop.  Well, someday…

Perhaps,  Heaven Admin, you would do a guest entry and post the beautiful photos you’ve taken of the rainbows, clouds glowing crimson, setting sun and blue ocean?

You have gone up on the roof and taken photos, haven’t you?

I do apologies for being off topic, but I cannot post anywhere else. Despite the fact that I am a registered user, when I try to log in, nine times on ten, my log in is NOT successful and if I try all the same to post I incur in captcha validation and problems with cookies and I am warned that the same name belongs to a registered user who, of course, it’s me! Is there anyone who can help me, please? I would be most grateful.

Beloved Emilia,

So sorry you’re having difficulty posting on the forum.

Heaven Admin will really know how to answer you.

In my non-techno way, I will tell you to just use a different name and post. I even suggest that until Heaven Admin tells you what to do, that you use a different name, Em, for instance, and do not register. Just post.

Unregistered, your post has to wait until I see it and okay it, which, of course, you know I’m going to do. The queue where your post will be is checked many times a day.

I love your posts, dear Emilia.

Thank you, dear Gloria, but I fear that even if I try to post with a different non registered name, I will be blocked by cookies in any case. Nevertheless I will try.
Kisses

Dear Emilia,

I’m so sorry about the computer challenges. I reply here instead of to your email, so that it may be of help to anyone else with the same challenge.

On the Heavenletters website, one may post without moderation by creating an account and logging in. (Emilia, I have already created an account for you and sent you the details in an email.) To login on the Heavenletters website, visit any page except the home page and look on the right hand side for a User login box. Login and then try posting.

I’m going to see what I can do about the cookies thing and will write back to you if we manage to solve it.

Senora, sorry to hijack this post! When are you heading back to the ranch? Have a look in squirrelmail right at the bottom, after you click compose,you will see an “attach” form that allows you to browse and attach images to the email.

Looking forward to the pics!

One Love
