The Golden Years


 
  Can not post any more
Can not post any more
This morning, 4/28/08 I tried to upload for over 20 minutes, mostly gray images and one good image. This has been happening for the last two weeks, even went with firefox brower to see if it would help. I do not have time in the morning to waste nor do I need the frustration, So I will not be posting any time in future. Manuel

  Manuel, you look terrific! This is awesome work! Love it! (I won't even comment on the aching joints... LOL) This one's going on my favorites list. I think it's absolutely great - the tones, the mood, the composition, everything about it!

  Terrific SP. I wondered why my belly was getting larger!! So it is old age. One thing I do notice that all my friends and I make these groaning noises when we get up or sit down.

  The Golden Years were a joke that was played on us Manuel...you are right about the pain.....a saying once heard "If it don't hurt, it don't work!"
Great SP....

  Exceptional work on this Manuel, and oh, how true. I love all the response you have gotten for this shot. I'm finding that what someone once told me that "The Golden Years you will find are very tarnished." How true it is. Keep up the great work. Kathy in NH

I understand your frustration with the BP site at times, I suppose I am lucky to be retired and my time is my own.
