Linda,

Even the person who wrote to me about this issue wants me to continue it, so I guess it's on again. I just am going to post a thread to everyone that if you don't want your picture enlarged, please tell me, or any other conditions THEY can think of beforehand to tell me so I don't feel guilty if I don't think of everything. My only alteration would be to either enlarge it or crop in on the person a bit so we can see them. If they give me an extra large photo, when you reduce it, sometimes you can't see the subject in it too well since it shrinks that, too. So sometimes I may want to crop it a little bit on the subject. But I think it will be a safer way to do it.

And about Mr. Clooney, I sent him an invitation to join the site, but he said he doesn't think he has OSA (like I'd have his email address...). Wouldn't that be nice???

Keep up the good work Lori!

I must admit I have been a bit busy lately and hadn't checked out the yearbook before THIS thread was started. I was expecting the "enlarged" pics to fill my screen. I would say you were pretty conservative on your enlarging, albeit as compressed as the "originals" are, even that little bit did pixelate some pretty dramatically. But hey, I figure anyone who doesn't like the results of the seeing the pics bigger can just blame the results on distortion due to the enlarging. Seems like a GREAT excuse to me.

And besides, we all know we are ALL above average......

If I do continue this now, please, anyone who submits a photo can PM me and let me know DO NOT ENLARGE IT, even if it looks like you can't see it.
Lori,
It's a shame that one person was upset about you enlarging the pictures. You have such a big heart, we all know you did it because you thought we would enjoy seeing the larger pictures....you couldn't hurt a fly and I'm sure that person knows that. I was actually very happy to see everybody enlarged but I do respect those that are bothered by it. As for me, you can blow me up as big as you want. If I keep losing weight...no...WHEN I lose this weight, I'll have to repost anyway....and you can blow that one up too!!
Lori, please don't stop the yearbook...it's so nice to see everybody. Maybe you can just remove that one picture (if that's what they want).

Thanks for all you do!!! Amy

Lori,

Now you done it. Was going to complain parts of me weren't blown up big enough but would feel way to guilty if I did it now. LOL

Great Job and everyone should remember the camera adds atleast ten inches to your nose.

Maybe the nose, but it added at least 20 to my cheeks, not counting the ones I sit on that you COULDN'T see in my photo...And which parts would you like enlarged that weren't??? Do tell...

Lori,

Don't despair, you can't please all of the people all of the time.
You've done a fine job on the "yearbook".

Best wishes,

Den
I think it was very thoughtful and kind of you to take your time and devote the effort to let us meet via photographs those that we share with almost daily our triumphs and challenges with this new mode of sleeping that we have been prescribed.
My hat's off to you and thanks!!!Image
