Close Encounters of the Weggie Kind!!

[Geoff]

My personal experience tells me that meeting up with fellow 'Weggies' gives me a real buzz and is a very positive and rewarding experience. Reading Michelle's post about trying to set up closer links with friends in Australia set me thinking. Perhaps we could post a photo of Weggie encounters just to 'light the fire'.
I was very fortunate to meet up with the "Big Kahoona", yes our leader Andrew when he was in London recently. The 5 hours we spent over coffee and in a Pub just flew by. I think you can tell from the photo that we had a good time, so take the bull by the horns and get out there and meet a fellow Weggie!!! (dont forget your camera)

Thanks for thinking of us Geoff and what a wonderful idea.

I'm not really a meet and greet type of person and tend to favour being in the background, but you are right - take the bull by the horns.


You two look like you have been best mates forever

Great pic, and I like your idea. Darn it, I wish I'd gotten one of me and Al.

I was a kinda chat online but hang back in real life kinda girl until I met Geoff at Adds! Had this friendly looking stranger come and sit next to me in the waiting room and I was thinking oh no, not another weirdo until he introduced himself. Very life affirming to met a Weggie in real life, I highly recommend it!

I gotta get me to the UK.

OK, my turn.... I must report that I met Kirk, otherwise known as me2, just this last weekend! He came up to my pottery booth at the Olympia Farmers Market and said hi and then made a joke about how much prednisone one of my coffee mugs would hold, or something like that. I instantly became suspicious that this must be the Weggie I'd been talking about meeting for the last few months. He looked great, was fun to talk to, and even bought a big coffee mug from me! For drinking tea or whatever. We got a picture on someone's cell phone, and she emailed it to me, but I cannot get it to upload here in one of my posts! It just sits there looking like it was uploaded but never quite makes it to the post. I do have an old, slow computer, but have posted pics on here before. I don't think it is a huge picture, it says it is something like 339kb, and I'm not finding how to make it smaller. I have an old Mac PowerBook G4 with the pic saved in iPhoto and on my desktop. Any suggestions here are welcome.

Email to some of us and it might shrink by email program and we can mail it back to your. Or we can shrink it using one of the free photo viewer and editor programs. You probably have one on your computer too. The trick is to find it and then figure out how to use it. I had to figure it out to upload some pix here but not sure what and how I did it, but we have some smart people here who can help with tech part.

I have posted pics on here before so not sure what the deal is.

Sooo, the big deal IS...some of us can't get it done...tell us HOW oh computer guru! LOL! No, really...I can't get a pic posted on this site, but can do emails...please tell us how!
