Computer questions / Not a computer question but a phone question

« on: August 07, 2013, 01:43:11 am »

I have a Samsung Galaxy S111 (Android Phone) and I have Dropbox installed on it, so that when I take photos it automatically sends the photo over to my computer.  My problem is that the gallery on my phone keeps freezing.  My daughter as uninstalled Dropbox and then re installed it and it works fine for a day or so and then it freezes again.  Any suggestions?  And please don't make them to technical I am not that way inclined.

The Coffee Shop / Email from the O'Toole Family

« on: August 02, 2013, 02:55:03 am »

Today I received an email from Trent O'Toole the son of the jeweler killed, here is what he said;

Hi Marg,

On behalf of my mum and the rest of our family, I would like to say a huge thankyou to yourself and Don for the lovely carved picture you did of my Dad.

It was extremely kind and generous of you both to do this for us and we think it looks amazing.  It is now taking pride of place in mum's living room and we look at it every day.

Thanks so much again... we can't express how much we appreciated this!

Kind Regards,

Trent O'Toole



I always put the name of the pattern designer on the back of my work because it is only right that they get the recognition that they deserve.

Brag Forum / My tribute to Dermott O'Toole

« on: July 24, 2013, 01:45:47 am »

Ok finally I have chance to put a photo up.  I went to his funeral yesterday and Hastings did him proud.  There were roughly around 400 people at his funeral and later the funeral procession went along the Main Street and past his shop, there were people lined up each side of the street applauding as he went past.  There were green balloon and streamers everywhere to celebrate his Irish beginnings.

Anyhow. I would once again like to thank everyone that gave their time to do a pattern for me but after looking for a considerable amount of time I finally chose DonR's pattern, thank you Don.

The Coffee Shop / Our town is in mourning.

« on: July 14, 2013, 02:31:48 am »

I live in a small town called Hastings and on Friday night the local jewelers was robbed the wife was injured and the husband stabbed and killed while defending his wife.  They have owned the Jewel Shed for over 30 years and I don't think there is one woman in Hastings that as not been in the shop at least once.  He was the nicest man you would ever wish to meet and his wife is lovely also.  Now I know this goes on all over the world but it has never happened in our town before, we are all devastated.  Please put his family in your prayers because they need them right now.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Brag Forum / What I was doing last week

« on: July 12, 2013, 02:42:42 am »

Well this was what I was up to last week.  They were birthday gifts for 7 year old twins.  The girl chose the giraffe pattern maker unknown, I have had the pattern for years but they did not put their name on it.  And the boy chose the tiger by Charles Dearing from his Wildlife book.  Hope you like them

The Coffee Shop / Complete or Finished

« on: June 16, 2013, 01:49:35 am »

 
No English dictionary has been able to explain the
difference between the two words 'complete' and 'finished' in a way that's so easy to understand:

Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE & FINISHED but, there is an explanation, as told by a Newfoundlander!!!!!!
When you marry the right one, you are COMPLETE.

And when you marry the wrong one, you are FINISHED.....

And when the right one catches you with the wrong one,
you are COMPLETELY FINISHED !!!

End of story
