What's your wallpaper?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Here's mine...reduced

[lakemonster11]

1. Mine.

I took a screen-shot of an old Max Fleischer Superman cartoon, put it through a watercolor filter, and...voila!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

2. Cool!

[elshiva]

3. Nice Wallpaper! Mine is a Big Russian Orthodox Icon of Jesus

[GoddessOfGuinness]

5. Are you Russian Orthodox?

Or did you just like the pic?

[Heidi]

4. Right now, it's

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. LOL!

Link often wakes me up in the middle of the night, jumping up on me and purring. I'll reach to pet, and suddenly realize his stinky asshole is about 6 inches from my face. So I push him away in disgust, and he runs away offended. After all, I should be honored that he stuck his butt in my face, right? :rofl:

[lildreamer316]

6. How do I screencapture this again?

Forgot; sorry

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. Something with "print screen"

I'm not remembering either... :rofl:

[Heidi]

9. Press the "print screen" button

and then paste it into your graphics program to re-size.

[CarpeDiebold]

10. if y'all got macs instead

you could just hit shift-command-3 and it'll capture it, save it as a png, AND put the file on your desktop automatically.

naner naner :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. Thanks!

:hi:

[Heidi]

12. Or, you could just rush right out and buy a Mac.

:spray: (I'm a PC user, too, but that was a prop to Mac user CarpeDiebold. :evilgrin:)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. If I had the money to switch over, I probably would.

:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. I never have been able to get this to work

Print screen or shift+print screen. I press 'em and nothin' happens. :shrug:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. Do you have Windows Paint?

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. Nope

I'm stuck with stupid ol' Photoshop. :eyes:

[Heidi]

31. Good grief!

You should be able to do this, OR! Do you have a Print Screen button on your keyboard? Mine's in the top row of the numbers keypad.

[lakemonster11]

35. In Photoshop,

you have to actually create a new document before you can hit "paste."

[Popol Vuh]

17. Press

the "Print screen" button on your key board. Open Windows Paint program, then press & hold the Ctrl button and press the "V" button.

That should do it.

[Heidi]

19. I have a button that says

Print
Scree
Sys Rq

I press the button (it's not a combination of keys!) to capture the screen, open Adobe Photoshop CS2, and do a Ctrl+v to paste it into Photoshop.

[Popol Vuh]

20. Yes

That is the correct button

[Heidi]

21. I know.

I was describing to Oeditpus Rex how to do it. :hi:

[Popol Vuh]

22. Ooops

My bad Heidi.. Sorry for the misunderstanding.. :hug:

[Heidi]

24. Have I failed to welcome you to DU?

Welcome! :hi:

[Popol Vuh]

27. Thank you Heidi

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

29. Ah-haaaaaah!

So "print screen" incorporates a "copy" command, and you have to paste it into a graphics editor.

Thanx, Heidi. :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. Or not

That didn't work either. :grr:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

37. Check Lakemonster11's post #35...

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. I figured it out

(See below.)

But thanks. :hi:

[Maine Mary]

106. It's just as well.

that Polar Bear pic might be misconstrued as something else. In which case you would have to wash up, find you're best button-up shirt, borrow dad's tie and sit UP-FRONT so that the pig-fat-theiving preacher man can save your soul from abominations of all kinds including the Inbomidable Snowman.

:shrug: just trying to help....

[fizzgig]

15. this is me on canon beach in oregon

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. Nice pic!

[fizzgig]

23. thank you

what you don't see is that the water was so cold, it had numbed my feet and ankles

but i don't think i've ever been so at peace as i was on that beach

[GoddessOfGuinness]

39. I was wondering if it was nippy

There didn't seem to be many people out on the beach...

[fizzgig]

47. this was the end of august

the warmest it was going to be all year

i went in the middle of the week, tho, so that might explain it

[lildreamer316]

25. here's mine..

[GoddessOfGuinness]

40. Nice!

[hfojvt]

26. It's yellow

and there's this little sillouette of a dude walking around the room.

[Nicole]

30. Here's mine

[Miss Marmelstein]

33. Here is mine... but it's time for a change.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

42. Yeah...New Years is getting

a little old. :toast:

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. Okay, I got it

It pastes to the clipboard in Photoshop, not into an active window. :eyes:

Anyway, I like this because it's a little closer to home.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. Mooning is legal in MD now.

:D
Congrats on figuring it out!

[Oeditpus Rex]

45. Thanks :)

Buffy told me about the mooning decision. Now I'm waitin' for a photo of her tocks. :evilgrin:

[AVulgarianHue]

36. This pic

Gary Webb

[Oeditpus Rex]

38. Forgot somethin'

See the little crater the arrow's pointing to? I spent the night at a Howard Johnson's on the rim while we were refueling a few years ago.

[NMMNG]

44. Mine is this picture

Tiled four times to cover the entire screen.

[Oeditpus Rex]

46. Wow!

Utah?

[NMMNG]

48. I have no idea

Someone here posted it in a montage and I just copied it. I adore the Southwest and particularly the desert. I especially love how the sky is that perfect blend of blues and purples.

[Oeditpus Rex]

49. I think that's probably southeastern Utah

Or it could be New Mexico, or southwestern Colorado.

My folks dragged my sister and I to all those national monuments when we were kids. Gotta admit, though, Zion and Bryce Canyon in Utah were pretty spectacular. Ma Nature on a real good day.

[NMMNG]

51. Quite possible

I've been to AZ and NV, but never Utah. If I ever got loads of money I'd love to take a grand tour of the Southwest and take loads of pics. I'd be on cloud 9 to be sure.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

60. That's a stunning pic!

I'd love to tour the Southwest too...especially cliff dwellings!

[NMMNG]

83. Now cliff dwellings I would *love* to see

I have read Jean M. Auel's Earth's Children series several times and longed to see the types of caves and cliff shelters she describes in those novels. I doubt I will ever have the money to travel to Europe to see the ones she saw while doing her research, but there is the possibility that I could eventually see similar ones in the Southwest.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

84. She's the "Clan of the Cave Bear" author, isn't she?

I've always wanted to read that, and somehow never got around to it...

[NMMNG]

92. That's right

I highly recommend you read it. It, as well as the rest of the series, is simply amazing.

[Montauk6]

50. Is there a way to upload photos (that's what my WP is)?

[Heidi]

52. Do you have a free photobucket.com account?

If so, just upload the photo to photobucket, then copy and paste the info in the IMG field into a DU reply. :hi:

[Montauk6]

53. Is that like Shutterfly (which I do have an account with)?

[Heidi]

54. I'm not sure.

I've never used shutterfly because I make my own prints. Photobucket is more like a "parking place" on the web for images. It's pretty easy to sign up and it's free.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

61. If your photos at Shutterfly come with an URL

that can be viewed without an account, it should work.

Photobucket is free; but they do ask you to register. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

55. here are mine

at work:


home:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

62. What a sweet kitten!

Tell us about the sculpture...

[MissHoneychurch]

68. it is a pic of my late cat shortly after we got her

I was 14 years old.

I just changed it to that:


it says "One has to kiss alot of frogs nowadays before finding a prince"

The sculpture is the Laokoon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laokoon

[GoddessOfGuinness]

69. Wow! I remembered some German!

I almost translated it perfectly, except I thought heutzutage was every day...

Thanks for the link!

[MissHoneychurch]

70. I didn't know you speak German

cool :)

every day is jeden Tag

yw. It is easier that way than to try to explain it in my own words (couldn't have done it)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

72. I took classes in high school and college...

Not enough to be very conversational; but enough to have an idea of what's being said. Ich spreche nur ein bisschen. (Where's the umlaut key?!?)
Cheers! :toast:

[driver8]

56. Here is mine -- Adak, Alaska where I lived as a kid

Don't be fooled -- the sun rarely shined like this.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

64. What was it like growing up there?

It's such beautiful country; but even with other people living there, you must have felt pretty isolated...

[driver8]

73. You know what's funny? We never felt isolated while living there.

The island was almost all military and there was so much to do for kids. We knew we lived in the middle of the Aleutian Islands but since we were all Navy brats, we were used to living in "exotic" locations.

I belong to a discussion forum with people who were kids there -- about 80% say that it was their favorite place to live. We moved there after four years on Guam so that would be a tough call. It was fun, though.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

85. It's good to know that

they help keep the kids happy. :-)

[qnr]

110. Adak was interesting. We used to pull in every once in a while while

we were pulling our Arctic deployments on the icebreakers.

[Mutley]

57. Here's mine.

:bounce:

[MissHoneychurch]

58. took me awhile to recognize what it is

cute

[Mutley]

59. Thanks.

Photobucket is being difficult and wouldn't let me make it bigger. x(

[GoddessOfGuinness]

66. LOL!

That's what I see whenever I tie my shoes!

[qnr]

109. That's great :) n/t

[Ariana Celeste]

63. Hanging Santa

centered nicely with black background.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

67. Sick and twisted at the same time!

:D

[bertha katzenengel]

65. A picture of Lorien's exotic foster cat, whose name/breed escape me.

[sshaw1980]

71. mine

[StellaBlue]

74. hiroshige

reduced

[GoddessOfGuinness]

86. Pretty!

I was rehearsing a piece in orchestra tonight by the Chinese composer Tan Dun that uses a bass flute. It sounds so much like an owl!

[StellaBlue]

94. wow, that's heavy

I can only play 'You've Got the Hide Your Love Away' on the piano.

haha

[lizziegrace]

75. My dog

[GoddessOfGuinness]

87. A sheltie?

What a beautiful dog!

[lizziegrace]

111. Yep, a sheltie

He was my sister's dog and she showed him until he was 7 or so. After that, I got to be his retirement home. He didn't quite make it to 13 years old. He died of a mass in his lungs just before his birthday.

I adored him and hope to get another someday.

:hi:

[RoyGBiv]

76. Slight mods ...

Got a few slight mods from last time, but it's mostly the same.

[Rabrrrrrr]

77. Here's mine - it's one of my paintings

[GoddessOfGuinness]

88. I like this!

Does it have a title?

Say...I lost your website when my computer went bonkers. Do you still have it?

[Left Is Write]

78. A picture of my kids at Christmas.

Time to switch to something new!

[Maestro]

79. Here

[ghostsofgiants]

80. The small version...

Larger versions here. That reminds me, I really need to populate that damn gallery with some art.

I also need to learn how to type "that" properly.

[tuvor]

81. Found this while image-googling Busby Berkely. Had to use it...

[qnr]

108. That's cute. Suddenly I'm thinking of 'His Divine Shadow' from the series

Lexx though.

[proud2BlibKansan]

82. Mine:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

89. You have great self-control

If I was standing next to that thing, there'd be a hole punched in it! :rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

112. Well fortunately I am usually on the internet

so I don't see my wallpaper.

And I love that picture. I am giving el pretzeldente bunny ears!

[qnr]

90. Reduced

[Popol Vuh]

91. Ok here's mine

.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

96. :-)

I like your sig pic, too... :toast:

[Popol Vuh]

98. Thank You GoddessOfGuinness

Did I ever mention that I *LOVE* Guinness? :toast:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

101. In that case...

Enjoy!

[Popol Vuh]

104. mmmmmm

:beer:


Thank you my dear :)

[qnr]

93. Far Side: "Oh! I love these things! Crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy

on the inside"

Edit: This is quite late in the thread, so I probably should clarify that I'm talking about the wallpaper in the OP :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

95. I think I remember that one, but I'm not sure...

Can you post the pic?

[qnr]

97. Here it goes:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

99. Haha! It's kind of like mine!

[Ladyhawk]

100. FSM Goodness!

[qnr]

102. um, What's the FSM doing? Getting ready to make mozzarella? n/t

[Ladyhawk]

123. That pic makes me wonder if FSM is responsible for cow mutilations.

I never thought of the FSM as violent, but His Noodly Appendage can be deadly since He is omnipotent. :)

[qnr]

133. That's funny, the same thought occurred to me :) n/t

[GoddessOfGuinness]

103. How does one say "Moo"

in Flying Spaghetti Monster?

[Ladyhawk]

124. He understands all his children: Mountains, trees, midgets...and cows. n/t

[Greylyn58]

105. I change mine every so often

when I get bored with it. This one has been around for awhile. It's a collage that someone did of Alice and Uncas from the movie The Last of the Mohicans-- one of my all time favorite movies.

I think it's beautiful.

[qnr]

107. That's very nice. n/t

[GoddessOfGuinness]

118. One of my favorite movies...

Though I'd still like to see someone make a movie that stayed true to Cooper's story. I guess people just can't stand to see the hero not get a girl...

[Fla Dem]

113. Here's mine

This is my usual one....Sunrise on Florida east coast in between Hurricane Frances 9/3/2004 and Hurricane Jeanne 9/13/2004.


But this is the one I'm using right now.....hoping for the best.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

119. Beautiful! n/t

[MissMillie]

114. It's the panda cub, of course!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

122. Thanks for reminding me!

I just noticed in this morning's paper that they're scheduling February visits. I'll be taking SonOfGoG the Younger on February 2nd! :bounce:

[Pale Blue Dot]

115. It's still this:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

125. Methinks you're in love

Am I right? :D

[Pale Blue Dot]

132. Methinks you are very right.

:thumbsup:

We are both very fortunate to have found one another.

[DS1]

116. My laptop - with desktop icons shut off

but I made this with a clearning on the left so Monica didn't get covered up :D

[Mr. McD]

117. The island of Lanai taken from Maui

[GoddessOfGuinness]

126. Is that red sky at morning

or red sky at night?

Lovely pic!

[Mr. McD]

127. Sunset

[Moochy]

120. Chauncey Rollerblading in Central Park!

[LaraMN]

121. This:

(It's a bit busy with the icons on it, but I love it.)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

128. That reminds me of a refrigerator magnet poem my son wrote...

"Dream of child on butterfly
whispering glad clouds of bubbles"

[LaraMN]

129. Sounds like a cool kid!

Mine won't write poetry about anything except rude bodily functions. He's only seven so I still have hope that his tastes will mature, but I've met some men who never moved beyond the mindset my boy's got going at present. :scared:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

130. He has his moments

when he isn't torturing me by finding as many buttons to push at once as possible... :D

He's 18 now; and he's starting to realize that other people really do count.

[Ilsa]

131. None. My laptop can't handle it. I don't dare even change its color. eom
