My parents are here in ten days. It's almost like going home, just without the Tim Horton's.

I never had Tim Horton's coffee until I met my wife, I crave it now. It's a Canadian wonder. For those who have never had it, they can't understand. It's the best coffee bar none. The Tim Horton's in the states is not the same as in Canada either.

If you were a real Canadian, you would have called it Timmy's

I was going to, but then I thought other people wouldn't know what I was talking about.

I've used the word "timbits" a few times here, and it's never gone over well.

Oh damn!

There used to be an option to upload a photo to a post from your computer on the old VJ format, but I don't see it on the new format. The only photo option I can find is to attach one via a link from the internet. And yes, I am technology challenged.

You have to upload the photo to an image sharing website. I suggest imgur.com. It's super easy.

Then you just come back and post it like you would any other picture, using the i.imgur link.

Go there. Then go to "computer" on the right hand side. Select the photo. Click "start upload"

It'll give you a link to the photo when you're done.

Mmmmmm Timbits! I almost wiped out a 40 box by myself a couple weeks ago.

WHAT.

I HAVE WASTED SO MUCH TIME UPLOADING THINGS.

[GandD 5,966]

Lookie!

Wow, advanced file uploader. I wonder what that does

[Teddy B 17,251]

Thank you Penny, you rock!

Here's the newest member of our family, my wife's grandson Ben. What a cutie!

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Oh my god, he is adorable. Babies are the best.

uploading your way is still better. it embeds the image into the post like you see in teddy's post. the attachment thing attaches a thumbnail which you have to click on to view the object. its an extra click and no one wants to do an extra click.
