:( :( :(

you have apologized and apologized. there's only so much in your control. i am so sorry for the pain you're in.
i have a similar situation with a very close family member. i love her, and i want her, but she doesn't feel the same, and won't speak to me at all. it's almost like a death. i have to remind myself all the time God knows the end of the story, though i don't. so i pray in hope for her... for us.

sometimes, hope is all we have, but it's a sure and certain hope in the Living God, that He is indeed working all things together for our good. praying for you. ♥

Thanks for the encouragement. Believe it or not this is not the first problem of something I have said to her this is a new one but I can't help how she hears what I say or that she hangs on to things for years before she says anything I have moved way down the road by the time I even know that what I said has offended her.

I just wish she would tell me in the moment it happens as really she is the only one it is festering in. I only know I have messed up because she won't talk to me or respond when I am reaching out to her. I know this is her problem because I have told her that I am sorry for the other thing I said twice and more really.

So if we aren't friends on Facebook then I can't offend her if she isn't in my feed of what I post as I am talking to other people not even her and she got offended.....Like I said I'm done with it if she wants to contact me then fine I will be nice but I am over trying to have a relationship with someone who doesn't want it.

I am praying about it too cause I don't like the anger I have at her right now.... for not dealing with issues she has with me right away. Because who knows what I will do or say that will tick her off even though we have no direct contact.

She is in Indiana and I am in Florida....go figure?

Just spent the last hour watching Pixlr tutorials on how to remove the background from images and make them transparent. I am now a master at mastering this task. :cool:

You know more than I do :eek:

I have not watched the tutorial on layer masks yet, either.

But I have spent hours and hours over the last number of days
looking at thousands of images to add to my creations :D

A couple of people have seen the one image that I add to my graphics as a representative of the Holy Spirit of God, and think it looks freaky :eek: It is the one I found to add to the graphic I made for the wee elephant's thread a few days ago :eek: Personally, I like the dove, as I had already spent many hours looking to find a dove suitable for my images, and this particular one was to represent the tongues of fire, also :)

I had also recently set my computer to go into a night mode where the screen changed from a bluer light to a softer pinker lighting, which is supposed to help you at night to sleep etc, when you finally walk away from your computer, but I found that when I made graphics at home at night, it affected the final color and density so much, and NOT to my liking at all, being that the images were very dark and nowhere near as purple as I had wanted them to be, since the pinker screen caused me to make bluer images... so I have reset my computer to just stay at the normal setting all the time :D

It doesn't really look like a dove. It blends into the white background..

One thing to keep in mind: use a darker background for a lighter foreground, and vice versa. Makes it stand out more. :)

Since most of these "projects" are for use with Scriptures and prayers for others, I want them to be fairly full of "light." The first few I made were darker, and I realized they were much too dark, especially when I compared them to those with a white working surface within the bordered area. So I am going with that for now, as I wing it and fly by the seat of my pants :D

That is kind of the whole idea: the dove is defined by the flames. It is like that image that can either look like a vase, or two people facing each other, depending on whether you are looking at the light areas to define the image, or the dark :) (Or something like that LOL ;))

Walmart brand cat food is on for about half price :eek:

Their pricing system is so confusing. Their products are cheaper to begin with, but when you get to the till, they are rung up at a price that is not marked any where. Anyways, the 153 g tins are on for $0.26 right now :eek: Salmon is $0.30 :)

The Super Bowl puts me in a dilemma. If the Patriots win I have to hear all week on how great Brady is, how he's the GOAT, how the Patriots are the GOAT team and it will be annoying. And since I'm a Giants fan I can't root for the Eagles because we all hate them. And if they win their fans will talk all types of crap for ever and ever. Oh yeah and kneeling and whatever I don't care.

No, not for when the computer sleeps, but for your own personal use during night time hours. So the computer would automatically change its light setting according to the time of day, because softer pinker lights are better for us to see at night than the bluer tones which remind the brain of morning hours :p The so-called experts were saying the blue tones mess with our ability to sleep :eek: On the night of the earthquake, I could not go to bed anyways haha. I was up all night searching out images, and kept seeing the tsunami warnings every time I opened a new tab.

Congrats Eagles for winning the Super Bowl. I am a Patriot she love this country and I can proudly say I watched every minute of the game. I don't let politics interfere with my love for Football. Now if my Giants can do better next year.

I also liked how the Eagles QB and Eagles head coach both have glory to God in their post game interviews.

Scrubbing down the refrigerator is a nice way of reflecting on things. I've already thought a lot regards to a few stresses in my life. Cleaning can be very peaceful :)
