It worked. Did ya get the other pics? I know I am asking alot of you! I cannot for the life of me find where it says you can do this on the printer or in photoshop, but I know it is there. I am just so computer retarded, I need lessons. Wallaby has agreed to tutor me when we move to Florida! :D: I need all the help I can get. We have a dinosaur computer. Not even a flat screen :eek: and I am happy that I can just come here and post and email my mommy and daddy and weird Uncle Bob! :eek:
Thank you so much Wallaby! I could not have done this without your gracious help!!!!!! We went all over the place yesterday and could find no one to do it. Our two regular tee shops have shut down and the one place that could would have it ready Friday. It cannot take THAT long to make the images if they are a place that normally does it. I can do the shirts here at home with a very hot iron and thin towel to protect the shirt. I have done these before, but never had words, so the pics were fine to print. It really did not matter if they came out backwards, because you could not tell. No words.
Thanks everyone. You have my phone # Disneymom, we need to set a place to meet on the 23rd...When the Park opens so I can get a chair and we can have lots of fun!!!!!!

Oh and I promise to post pics of us in the shirts we had Wallaby help us make. Wallaby has played a very important part in getting these done, otherwise I would not have known how to do them.
Oh yeah, Grumpy Pirate you are gonna HATE this. Ralph and I got MATCHING Mickey and Minnie sweaters to wear together. And we have other sets of matching Disney Christmas sweaters and shirts to wear as well at the Parks. I know, we are dorks. :p:
Gotta pack and get the critters to boarding and we are set to go! Ralph made Gingerbread Men last night and will make one more batch tonight and we will bring some for everyone we see, that we know from here and our friends at the DL Hotel. I gotta get them to post here. I told them about SGT last year and I was hoping to see them here. I will remind them of how much fun it is. Oh and we have our SGT shirts as well to wear at DL!!! :D:
I guess that's it and I will post tonight! And try to get a pooter in the computer center for an hour one night of our trip for an update of any Ssssss geeeeees we might run into, literally! :twisted:
Susi-Q and Ralphie Pooh :p:
oh another funny thing jhappened, Ralphie called McDonalds to complain about some fries we got one order. It was like the lid fell off the salt shaker on them and they served em anyway. Talk about your sodium intake for LIFE!!!!!!! Anywy when he called, some woman with a very thicm accent could not understand him and so when he got a letter from McD's yesterday with some coupons for free items, it was addressed to Raffle, instead of Ralph! LOL! So now we call him Raffle!LOL! :hysteria:
Merry Christmas to all!

They have T-shirt transfer paper at various stores, I'm assuming that is what you're using....
And right there is the key: (NEEDED MY KID'S HELP!!!!!!!!!!!) :eek: :D: Now I wish I had a kid just to help me with this computer stuff...heeheehee! Not really, I would have to deal with all the other kid stuff too! :twisted: :eek: Or better yet, I need to get Geeks on Call over here to help learn me these things!!!!

But thanks to everyone who came to my aid on this thread to help. I Love my family here at SGT!!!!! My brother who owns his own computer software company would just roll his eyes at me, if I asked him how to do the picture thing. He would say I *should* know these things, then do it for me all the while ridiculing my ineptitude at tech stuff! Then he would tell me a joke and we would laugh! :twisted: He does love me, even if I do not know much or anything at all about machines! Gaaaaaaahhhhhh!They are going to take over, I tell you!!!!! Watch it, when the robots come...

Anyone ever see the Sam Waterston parody commercial on SNL about robots. THAT was funny shit! I love Sam Waterston as well, just like Chris Walken, he is interesting looking with his crooked teeth, not all polished Hollywood pretty boy! :D:
susi*is NOT a techie :( *slicker

Hold the press! I reversed the larger image that I should have used in the first place for you. Recheck your e-mail!

NEVER HAVE FAMILY HELP YOU WITH COMPUTERS!!! It's a computer guy thing, apparently, where we can help others, but our own families we hold to a higher standard for some illogical reason and we are merciless in our judgment of them. My mother couldn't learn anything from my father (who runs computers and networks for a major university) and she can't learn anything from me, either. But somehow, some random kid at Best Buy can teach her anything she wants to know! I'm guessing it has to do with both ends: the computer guys expect that their family should know already, and the family member in need probably expects the utmost in service from their family computer guru. (We give the utmost in service to people all day at work, though, and so we don't really want to be all "yes ma'am, no ma'am, three bags full ma'am" when we're off work!) That's my theory at least, for what it's worth. :rolleyes:

Hey Susislicker, It looks like you are well taken care of!! Sooo where did you win the "Raffle" (I think he needs to sign on to SGT with THAT name!!!!)

AS to wearing matching stuff, dosn't bother me! DW learned loooong ago that I will get all my own clothing, nothing that matches her, see I don't want to compete with her, so all my clothing is non-descript, except for my big dog "Hawaiian" shirts (and of course Disney ones!!)

Its funny your problem with pictures is one DW had a while back! She had problems until I instaled a viewer that we use at work, on her computer. Its free, and you can download it at:

http://www.irfanview.com/

In fact, anyone can use it, and best of all, (govt empoyess love this) Its free!!!

We use it in thumbnails view to screen for images, and then we give it on our production DVD's for them to install and use as a viewer!!

(P.S. SOME SGT members will appreciate that one of the ICONs of Irfanview is a squashed kitty with a tire track on it!!)

Thanks Grumpy! I will load that. Got it bookmarked for now.

I got all the pics from Wallaby and they are PERFECT! Luv ya Big Wallaby! Now, I just need to print them onto the transfer paper and then press them onto shirts or take em over to a place a couple miles from here and they will press the images on the shirt for 5 bucks a shirt! IF we have time, we will have them do it. It will be fast for them with their big teeshirt press, if not I will do them one by one here with my iron. It takes a little longer to make the image really glom onto the shirt, but I can do it, have done it before. I just could not get those images mirrored. I am betting that Photoshop AND our printer has the capabilities, but I can't find them anywhere. I am so retarded with this equipment. And Raffle ( :hysteria: ) does not get much time with it ;) cause I am always on the computer! He is not as tech savvy as all of you are.
Merry Christmas!

When you download it and install it, you should also download and install the plug-ins!! it will handle a large number of formats!! It even has optional toolbar icons that you can download if you want to go that far!

Hey Susi - you and Raffle have a WONDERFUL time at DL. I hope you meet up with lots of CMs and SGTers and maybe even a Bubble Lady or two.
You are such a delightful person - you need to come visit WDW and let us all meet you. Just pick a cooler month - I can't stand the heat. Why oh why do I live in Florida?? Oh, I remember, it's because that's where WDW lives!! :)
