We have a lot of little snails in our area. Hard to collect enough for a decent snack, but it helps when they volunteer. Several apparently wished to present themselves as ready-to-eat and camped out in my daughter's engine, thereby ensuring that they were appropriately cooked. Of course, had they been in the MM's engine, there would have been nothing left; vaporized for sure.

Easy recipe--garlic, butter, garlic, finely chopped onions, garlic, and garlic. Throw in some garlic and you're good to go.

I could only post thumbnails. My original jpegs are all over a megabyte. I couldn't see a way to post them.

For the record ...

I would have went with some melted cheese sandwiches (http://www.gotwavs.com/php/sounds/?id=gog&media=MP3S&type=Movies&movie=Jerk&quote=snails.txt&file=snails.mp3)myself.

Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Look for "image resizer"
After downloading you just have to right click your mouse on a picture. It will give you 3 sizes to choose. It makes that size as a copy. Small works great for email pics.

Thanks for the link. I downloaded and installed it, but all I can find on my hard drive is the setup and install files. Where does it put the application? I can't find it and there's no desktop icon.

Looks like rats have been in the engine bay dining on them.

I don't eat Fungus either. :rofl: Actually, the "taste" of the snails wasn't bad - lots of garlic and butter and spices. I swallowed 3 of them by concentrating really hard ... don't chew ... don't chew ... don't chew ... just swallow. On the 4th one I broke concentration and bit down on one of the little suckers. :puke: That was my last one. Tastes great ... texture sucks. :rolleyes:

Its a "shell extension" which means it isn't an application in the traditional sense that you would open from an icon but rather it will show up as an option on the fly-out menu when you RIGHT-click on an image file.

Ah, so. I see. Thanks BF. Useful little tool.
'Large' 1024s are still too big to upload, but 'Medium' 800s give me this size.
