Hello again. I see my photos were kicked out because they are too big.
Prior to WINDOWS 7 when trying to send a photo via email, my program would
ask if I
wanted to reduce them. Now it no longer asks that question.
Does anyone know how to reduce photos prior to emailing in the new WINDOWS
7? I had Windows XP before.
Thanks

In Windows 7, you can go to "paint" under "accessories" in your program files. Once in "paint" click on "resize" , then change the "100" to the % you want to reduce the photo size and save it. If you don't want to loose the original sized photo, change the file name slightly when saving it. When rmailing, find the resized file and add it to the email.

Ray,
It's not you or the size of your photos. There seems to be something wrong at the website. I have been trying to load various pics to it for two days. No luck. Hopefully it will be fixed soon and we can get on with our lives.

You just need to google for a photo editor, download and install it.
You should find that under Edit or something like that there will be a "resize" option. After reducing the pic size do a File Save As and save your new smaller pic.
I've used Irfanview for years. Its free and it works under Windoze 7

Black pipe not polybutylene, polybutylene is gray. Black may have been
polyethylene, which is thinner, and less crush resistant.
Moot, now, I guess.

Not true, RonC.
Polybutylene comes in grey, black and sometimes white.
I suggest you check with Google on the Internet and put in "black polybutylene tubing" and you will finds many sites that discuss black polybutylene pipe.
Polyethylene tubing will not hold up to the hot water directly out of the water heater. I would be too soft and it would bulge and blow out.

Wow, Emery, it's gotten colorful since I bought mine. Obviously, my
information is out of date.
When I was plumbing my house, gray was all there was at the hardware
store, but that was long before Google. It's been hooked up to the water
heater and working fine for 30 years, or so, now. We also have a length
between the barn and an outside faucet that freezes every year. No
chlorine in our water, and no crimp fittings. I think it was rated at
100 or 125 psi @ 180 degrees. All the plumbing in the house is gray
polybutylene, except the verticals for the shower (CPVC, because I wanted
the rigidity).
I'd have loved to use PEX, because I could color code, red: hot, blue:
cold. And it's stiff enough for the verticals.
