    Re: The random thought thread

    Got one around us, too - they're real proud of their stuff, but a $12 burger and fries is just about 2 complete meals.

All the add fixins are free, so you can get a fresh cheeseburger with grilled onions and mushrooms while you wait. They pour handfuls of fries into your bag. A large order of the fresh fries would feed a family by itself. If you ever see one, stop in, you will not be sorry.

        Debs, we thought nothing could stop you from doing your job properly.

            I wasn't going to start a thread for this, but for some reason my avatars are turning sideways when I change them? Am I missing something obvious? Never had that happen before. Profile pic does the same thing.

              Are you using photos from your phone? I have to send them as "small" pix to my email, then rotate them 1/4 turn before uploading them to the forum. =^..^=
              If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
              1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
              2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
              3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
              4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
              5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                I have tried from my phone, and moved them to my laptop and tried. Even tried rotating them before selecting them. I am sure I am missing something.


                Got to be something from me restoring my phone. put new pics on my profile and they did the same thing.

                  After loading them to your computer open them with Irfanview. Rotate them in Irfanview to the way you want them to be. Crop them, resize them and then save them as a new name. Upload the resulting image file and see if that takes care of the problem.

                      Sorry Debs, just put me down as an old fashioned MCP, no offence intended.

                            They got some seriously good burgers there, way better than your going to get somewhere else at two-for-the-same-price.

                                Have worked in both private and institutional kitchens, and all of the private ones have been nasty. The only institutional one that was, was a military kitchen (they grow some big ass roaches in Texas, lemme tell ya)..... Still loved the SOS though.
