Sure you're on top of the updates. I read too you're all set for your shoots. I packed three sets of 4 outfits for each shoot - that's the bulk of the clothes in my luggage lol. I will re-pack on Tuesday night. I haven't started tanning, so I'm hoping to do the booth AND spray tan the next 72 hours. I need just a lil color for the shoots.

[SBT]

Should be an option under settings or menu, then picture quality or size and then it will say vga (smallest) 2x 3x 4x and so on depending on how many megapixels your camera is...

I have a Kodak 12meg. I've already decreased it to 6 thinking that would solve the problem...I just need 2 take the time and read all the directions...I always get a new electronic and try to figure it all out on my own!

[IslandGirl]

WOW! You have yummylicious leggies! :bowdown:

[KP DIVA]

:)


Thanks!! They are giving me a fit...My hamstrings are sooo tight..I know I need to stretch more..I've started sitting in the sauna for 10 minutes after I train to see if that helps. My left hammy almost feels like I have a slight pull so I need to be careful.

oooo, be careful of that! Stretching before, during and after is a good idea. How is the sauna helping?

[KP DIVA]

The sauna was actual very refreshing. I don't know if it just relaxed me all over...but I felt better. My massage therapist told me that I really need to stretch 30-45minutes a day...so I know that's my problem. I just don't have enough time. But I do know if I don't get my hamstrings in order it will cause a chain reaction and b4 I know it I'll have a lower back pain and I don't even want to think about that! So, I'm going to stretch b4,during, after...and also follow up w/ the sauna...I'm go'n to try to work my way up to 15 minutes. We also have a steam room. Do you know if one works better than the other?

OH no... 6 is still pretty huge, I would try 2, 3 or the vga then they are all resized for you :)

"I will crush you! You got that!" "Call my atorneys, I'm buying the company".

Many years ago, A poll was conducted among college,professional athletes and regular guys about soaps. Most if all don't watch, but if they do they watch Victor because he exudes power and dominance.

[Femphysiquefan]
