Yes, I fathered 10 also...
I have two daughters, that 'between them', have given me FIVE granddaughters
I have a son here in Manchester, with a family I believe... details unknown
but I haven't seen or heard from him in many years
I have a son, now around 47 years, [in New Zealand] with a family (a single child) with whom I have
some contact, and so, also the possibility to learn more
I haven't seen him since he was 30 months of age, when his Mother emigrated with-him and his brother
after forging my signature (giving permission)

The other lads, have stayed 'single' ....two children have passed
at a very young age ie: one, at four months and the other, only six hours

I came to Golden Eagles while still reeling from my second divorce (after 30 years)
and the guys and gals here, were people that helped me, to 'float my boat' in stormy seas

It has been an honour and so very-many blessings, to hang-out here in GE
I have committed myself, to remain here in GE, until I no-longer am able
to repay a debt I can never-repay

I do not get to visit Bristol too often... but my Granddaughters (the three eldest of them)
would recognize their Granddad, on the street
I left Bristol in July 2007, to spend the rest of my days with this lovely lady, Mary
and her family of four sons and a daughter are a real credit to her

Aww I'm glad you're with someone you love, that's a lot. My husband and I have been married for 32 years, but have our trials for sure.

It's difficult sometimes, isn't it? Watching them grow up and make bad choices. My oldest daughter Rachel is 30 and has mad a few that have distanced her from the family and is currently divorced. She has the grandbaby in St. Louis. We rarely see her, but do get to see her this year at Christmas time, flying her and Laurence up. Hoping for the best.

The rest are healthy and doing well. Four are married, six still at home. Rachel is a CNA but studying to be an engineer. She likes school! Lol! Tabi (28) is married to Luca. They live in Montana, he works in customs up there. They took an Alaskan cruise this past week and are currently here! The rest live in the area (thankfully) Ellie (27) is married to Matt. He works for a legal company and she is an occupational assistant who helps people in their homes with hand problems. (mostly elderly) Sarah (25) is married to Chad, who works for internet security and she does some work as an esthetician in between being a new mommy and Madyson is 6 months. Bekah (24) is home still works as a flight attendant for Sky West. Mac is home works at Costco, Hannah (19) wants to become a hair cosmetologist, and Emma 17 will graduate this year. Naomi (14) & Tommy (9) or the youngest. Does this allow us to upload pictures?

Sure you can upload pictures to Christian Forums

You can upload some photos to the albums here, but there will be image /filesize restrictions

If you have a Microsoft / Hotmail account ... you get 15 Gbs of free space in their OneDrive
you upload your photos there and click SHARE, to make a link to a single photo or share the entire album

You can do the same thing from a Photobucket account by posting it's image-url here

If you have a Facebook account, you can share photos from your photo albums there
by posting it's URL between image tags >>>>[ img] (address) [ /img]
~but leave no spaces

I have closed my Facebook account ~for reason of filth and blasphemy that I was
blocking almost daily there... I felt like King Canute, failing, to hold back the sea

But those other hosts I can help you with.... just let me know of any difficulty

 

[mickiio]

Oh ok cool. I'll give it a try. =)

 

[mickiio]

 

[mickiio]

Hmm not doing it right lol. Changed it to public, but that didn't work. I might try photobucket. My old forum used to use that from ages ago. I'll have to figure it all out again hehe.

 

[mickiio]

So what's on your agenda for the day?

 

[davedajobauk]

Helping you to overcome....

Shall I assume you used a photo in Facebook and attempted to publish it here ?

right-click any online photo and click IMAGE PROPERTIES in the drop down menu
a small window will open
COPY and PASTE it's url > begins with http:// or https://
or, click COPY IMAGE URL and paste it between the tags I showed above
ie: [ img]http://............[/ img] but, leave no spaces as I have done
to avoid this being displayed ~

Let me show you an example¬

Here is an example of a random image, I selected from a MSN homepage header
it is shown as a link you can click on

http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAf1FER.img?h=194&w=300&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f

To show the image here, I need to add the image tags, like so

[ img]http://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AAf1FER.img?h=194&w=300&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f[/ img]

Because I included spaces, it is shown as a line of text
when I omit the spaces, you will see the picture

et voila

 

[davedajobauk]

...

You should beware... that you do not offend any copyright limitations
ie: acknowledge that the owner of the photo holds the copyright to it

If it is your own photo you are trying to post
from a site that is protecting your privacy (https) ie: Facebook....
you will see similar failures to post your own images....

So, to share from a PUBLIC folder ~open the image onscreen
and copy the address in the address-bar above the page

then paste this between the image tags I have shown you



This is a link to this page, obtained from the address-bar

Yes, it sure looks like you have grasped the process 'now'

Please enjoy this newly acquired talent

BBL

 

[mickiio]

Awesome! Take care. Thanks for the help.

 

[davedajobauk]

Not a problem

 

[davedajobauk]

\o/ done and well dusted, I will be 'off' again shortly
for a meal, is inevitably followed, by washing the pots
As I have left them 'soaking', washing them, shouldn't be too-much of a task

 

[davedajobauk]

I snapped only 7 photos during our most-recent trip to North Wales
So, I promised, to display images I captured from previous visits (stays)

In the following folder, there are photos from two ruined castles
photos of St. Winifrede's Well, photos of Pensarn Railway Station and the beach
photos of the trailer (static caravan) Mary being hit by stinging sand off the beach at Pensarn
photos of Rhyl Promenade, and surrounding mountains
