11. Oh, HOW could I forget?? Looks delicious...

Now I am stuffed....

If I could figure out how to post photos I would post a few for you.. but. alas....

trying....

[yuiyoshida]

12. its easy to do..

just take a photo and look for its link. If it doesn't have a link, than open an account like Photobucket, and pop the photo into that. They will provide you or anyone with a link.. You can use "paint" in your computer to make the image smaller or larger.

13. How's this

Well THAt is weird.. Think I'll try again

[yuiyoshida]

14. i wouldn't use Imgur.com

as they have a tendency to hide a link within the link, that can cause a virus. Try photobucket. Or maybe..
