A story in a single image
16 yrs
I tried to copy the images off the assignment page, but I couldn’t get them. I was going to use the pool one anyhow to tell this story anyhow so I used a real picture of me at 16 years old instead.
Every summer we went to the lake. The lake was for us poor residents. The richer residents had a swim club. I didn’t go in the nasty water much as I became a teenager. My assigned spot was right in front of the life guard flirting. No complaints from Larry, the lifeguard, either. He was the older brother. I liked the younger one too. Hmmm I seemed to have forgotten his name. I know I shouldn’t have been distracting the life guard. Thankfully no one drowned while I was there.
I was sorry when summer was over and school began and then I got married and Larry just became a pleasant memory. By the picture of me at 21 my bikini wasn’t as revealing. I was a little bit more on the chunky side.
Funny story there. My ex and I got married and he went into the Marine Corps. He sends me a letter from boot camp telling me he needed a picture of me in a bathing suit for the bunny board. The other guys were all single. I was the only married one. So anyhow I didn’t have a picture, it was the middle of the winter and so I put on my bikini of the time and walked downstairs so my dad could take the picture. The doorbell rung. I forgot I was half dressed. I opened the door and the mailman almost swallowed his tongue.

Thought he was going to choke on his tongue and he had to pick his eyes up off the steps. LOL!

Thank you. It is there usually unless I am extremely depressed, but sometimes even then it will appear.

I have also chosen the pool picture but totally different story. In fact you image will fit perfectly with my post.

That is funny. I couldn’t get that other one to save. Things are different now that I have Windows 10.

Did you try to do this:
You click the link provided with the image, download it to your own computer, save it and when you are making your post, incorporate it by clicking add media on the top of the page, then you can select where you want to put it, left, right center up or down. I hope this helps.

I did all that and it wouldn’t let me save it to my choice and I don’t know where it is going. It is probably the new media program with Win 10. Some of them go to a saved file, but this one didn’t. I download pics all day to use on my posts and never had this problem. thanks for you help.

Thanks, between the change in Windows, losing my emails and having to use the reader and a new computer, things are a little rough right now.

I understand. One of those life’s little surprises. I don’t like or trust technology much bu the fact is, we can hardly function without it these days.
