opening photos

[jno]

when I click on a photo in My Pictures it insists on opening in Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 (I didn't even know I had this but I assume it came with Photoshop Elements 3). I'm given the option of opening in Windows Picture Viewer, which I want (quicker and less 'noisy' to look at), but have to do it every time. Where can I change the default to Picture Viewer? I've got Windows XP.

Morning all..who pinched my sunshine? It was glorious and now it's grey....oh, hang on, the clouds are moving.

ugh! If I'd ever eaten eels I wouldn't now. I suppose it must be difficult not discussing weird incidents if you work in health related areas but, quite rightly, don't turn it into a sideshow. It's bad enough that I live in fear of one day finding my bazoom mole smiling back at me from some internet page.

I've been thinking... surely not? ....humans are supposedly getting bigger but technology is getting smaller and more fiddly by the day. Will we evolve to have tiny hands with pointed fingers? Just wonderin'....

Robi, it is one of the reasons that I am pro electronic health records. The systems that I have seen record who and when looked at the record and if its someone who shouldn't have done then they automatically can get hauled in to explain themselves, also its possible to limit who can see what. Paper records can be passed around like Hello magazine, photocopied and generally misused with no controls at all.
TBH, most people's medical records are deeply boring and most health care employees are honest and ethical people, but when sensational meets dishonest...

Yes woofy, that's good and how it should be, but unfortunately you can't stop people talking...especially when they've had a few. Thankfully I think I'm in the boring category and I hope I remain that way. I was once the talk of the hospital, but that was in a good way....that maribou thong certainly got me some attention ;o)

Poor Ozzy, it's been in the mid 40'sC down there and tonight's minimum is forecast to be 28C :( I couldn't stand that.

yes, that's what happened, woofgang, it was a digital X-ray showing two skeletons in undue proximity and it seems hospital staff all over the place were logging in to snigger at it - except our guests, who by sheer good luck didn't hear about it until the file had been made private, otherwise they'd be in durance vile instead of in Cambridge.

the poor sod who wore a very tight ring on his b*lls so that they swelled and went dark purple here (he was a German) his picture from the hospital went viral and all over the internet, and yes I passed it on too!!

Hello all
Lovely start to the day but it's clouded over now .
Yuk ....the sight of a jellied eel is enough to make me shudder let alone reading that :)
Hope you're all fair to middling though .Nothing exciting going on here .

[netibiza]

I have a stinking headache and head like cotton wool. Feel rough.

[woofgang]

Neti REST!!!!!!
I made a great dinner tonight. Frozen king prawns, mussels and scallops cooked from frozen with frozen chopped shallots. I added a splash (well a slosh actually) of white wine, took the fish out and reduced the liquid then stirred in a tablespoon of Hellmans mayonnaise to finish. Poured the sauce over the fish and ate it with a jacket spud.

This cold, crisp weather has relieved the pressure in my sinuses for the first time in weeks...the downside is I'm dizzy and have screaming tinnitus.

[woofgang]

I am zonked again...mind you its been weeks since the weather has allowed normal sleep. I cleaned a window yesterday

[shaneystar2]

That sounds tasty Woofy .Nothing too exciting here .Slow cooker beef casserole and potato dumplings .I may have a cream cake in a minute .

[netibiza]

Yes woofy, that does sound delish. I made Mac chs but couldn't finish it. Sweating in my bed.

[woofgang]

effing fireworks again tonight. I don't normally swear but enough is enough.

[woofgang]

Good morning, damp and overcast here but Mr N is taking me out somewhere, can't be far as it a tiny island (and boring).

I've put the cat among the pigeons at home, my sister's 50yr old step daughter has started to attack my sister when she is drunk, threw a table at her last week, and she drinks everyday from morning til night. So I have told the older brother to step in as someone has to look out for my sister, she's an old woman, and she pays all the other woman's bills and mortgage and is just too helpful. I hope my sister won't be too cross with me, but it has to stop, she'll be 72 this year and it's just not on. I wanted to speak to her myself but decided that her brother should know all aboout it.

Oh well let's see if my sister gets cross with me.

[woofgang]

Well done Neti, at least she'll be alive and uninjured to get cross with you!

[shaneystar2]

Morning all
Lovely crisp sunny day .Hope you're all Ok .
That's awful for your sister Neti .I'm afraid I wouldn't be paying any bills for her if she attacked me.I would be informing the police !

[netibiza]

I'm glad you don't think that I am a snitch, she pays the bills intil the dad's money is paid out, but I doubt very much that sis will ever get back the absolute thousands she has paid out. Sis adores the granddaughter and for this reason won0t upset the drunkard! I will!!

mr N and went to the Salinas at the south end of the island to see the flamigos there on the salt flats, we walked miles but it was an easy walk and lovely breathing in the air. The we collected the car and drove right to the end, it was beautiful and calm and peaceful, and I wasn't out of breath or anything. we then ate in a Spanish restaurant, plain spanish food but huge amounts and fresh and beautifully cooked, plus a bottle of Rosê wine. Just had a bath and am now back in bed with a slight headache, probably the wine.
