Greenthumb---you can be the further voice of reason....

I just tried to send the below Post with THREE pictures attached. TWICE! In about 4 minutes, each time--
it defaulted to the Forums list--as before.

I wrote to Adm. that I had started a new Thread re, problems with my Kwanzan Cherry Tree.
I posted 6 pictures total--two in each post. The went--grudgingly--in about 2 minutes.

As this was a new Thread--there were NO other Posts or "catche" to deal with.

I wrote Administration. Terry checked the size of all my posted pictures and said they were about
half the size of the ones that she was successful posting 5 of.

She suggested that--maybe be my ISP throttle connection speeds at fault--to conserve bandwidth.
And--if that is the problem--it is out of their control.
WHAT on Earth is the ISP throttle Connection????????? What can I do?

OK! I have learned to c/p all my text in a Post when i send pictures. Just in case!
I did that just now. Thank God! I am now going to re-post my Post and add only two pictures and see if they go.
Of course--I will c/p my text again (this one included) in case even 2 pictures do not send....

Here is my original Post today--3:30PM on Monday--May. 14th.

Happy---

I hope you save some of those "Places of honor" for the couple of Brug starts
you will be getting from me. I believe they will be the "Maya"--a wonderful, variegated-leaf Brug.
These are from the new cuttings taken not long ago. They all, seriously,have already passed
the "tug test". Some even have little leaves growing.
May take until next year to bloom--BUT--if they "Y"--they may bloom later this year--like October.

I just finished boxing up EVERYONE'S orders! Hours and hours out on my patio all morning in the rain.
Of course, the wonderful thing about a roofed-over Patio is that you CAN work out there!
God help me to get all of it in my car!!!! I am truly worried!!!!
Besides all these boxed up plants--I still need to bring a chair. And a med. cooler for my Pasta salad....

Was going to bring a small table--but I am not bringing any extra plants to "display"--only those asked for.

1--Here is the "loot"......all asked for! Sorted by names....Also--a good look at my small back yard--
with the "culprit", the old, tall, Silver Maple whose roots HOG the entire back yard.
Looking at the corner bed behind it--only 4' away from the main trunk, This is the bed I always refer to
as my "YUK" bed---in case you ever wondered about it.....

2--These--on the settee behind the boxed plants on the right--all belong to SallyG--coleup--and Robin ("catbird")
I am taking these to sally's early Wed, AM to have the Pre-Swap--Swap. It will lessen the load in all our cars.
Of course, as I said earlier, i will be bringing back all of donners stuff to my house. She will come by Thursday,
after work to get it all--and bring me MY stuff....Aren't we all clever?????

3--Gonna go for 3 pictures.....Hold your breath!
All this stuff--on and around my grill, belongs to donner. She will pick it up and take it home.
I cannot imagine schlepping all of donners and Sally's and coleup's and catbird's stuff to Holly's!!!
I would, surely, need an SUV! All I have is a small Outback.
OK! Hitting "send"............:o(

I am now doing this over again..as my 3 pictures did not send. PLEASE--IF you are having the same issues
go to the DG Forum and read--and follow--and post your own issues on his Thread: Problems with pictures posting".
The more of us complain--the more they will, hopefully do. This is ridiculous!

******Starting over with only TWO pictures per Post.....

1---Here is all the "loot" for everyone's orders. All boxed up! God help me get all this in my small Outback car!
2---This all goes to Sally's. Iit is all of Sally's--and coleup's--and catbird's stuff they wanted from me.
They, in turn, will pass back to me all of MY stuff as requested for them (except donner).
I will p/u donner's stuff and get it back to my house. She is coming after work on Thursday to it all up.
Sound complicated??? Nope! Just a bit time-consuming. But--we all live within 1/2hr of each other.
This Pre-Swap--Swap is a great idea. It will lighten the load for us in the cars going to Holly's.

OK! Hitting "send" again. it better GO!!!! And--of course--c/p'ing the whole text in case it does not...
Getting a bit tired of this!!!!!!

PLEASE go to the DG Forum and chime in on this Thread by Greenthumb if you also want to be heard.
They say they are "working on it"--but this is getting beyond tolerable.
