Aft...I too owe my existence to marine construction. After the war, my father worked for the Bay area firm that was the world's largest maker of marine diesel engines. In 1946, this firm received a huge order from the French government for diesel engines needed to rebuild France's canal barge fleet. The French govt. sent a few engineers to California, to supervise the execution of this massive order. My Dad was the only man in the office who knew some French, and so he got to know these engineers socially. One weekend they told my father that they had met a cool dude who had immigrated from France to the USA around 1920, and invited my father to join them at a party this dude was hosting. That's how my father met my mother's uncle. 6-12 months later, my young mother from France turned up, who was visiting the USA on a 12 month visa. My father was not fated to marry any of the eligible daughters of this Frenchman become Californian, but he did marry a niece of his. And I was born several years later. All thanks to barge boat diesel engines...

You are right....This was a great post . I loved it.<br />You are right. What are the chances of being born who you are?<br />Eerie to think about it this way lol<br />I often thought the same thing when I look at pictures of my parents with their friends. They were people just like us falling in and out of love. So what if my Dad married some one else?<br />Would I be? and then who would I be ? lol <br /><br />Have a good one. :)A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833454649093878095.post-65353867373283917252010-08-24T08:02:49.900-04:002010-08-24T08:02:49.900-04:00Doesn't sound very easy.

While I'm choosing my photo, I lose the place I want to put it. I wrote down how to use the temporary storage place but didn't transfer it all in my self-made computer "cliff" notes. I shall experiment, however. Again, thanks for the help.<br /><br />You have a new follower. Contratulations!

You have to choose how to position the photo(I always use to the right). Then choose your photo either from your computer or from an URL on the Internet. <br /><br />Now comes the interesting part. It always inserts the latest photo at the top of your post so you have to copy and paste the photo where you want it with in your text. It is a paragraph of computerish, and you must move the entire code. I have found using CTRL C and CTRL V the easiest way to do it, then go back and delete the photo from the front. When you get good at it use CTRL X, which will remove it and copy it in one operation. Then you have to play with adding blank lines to move the text how you want it. Correctly positioning it within you post is a little klunky, especially if you have multiple photos in one post. But once you play with it, you will get the hang of it. You can not add photos to comments, only to the original post, but you can add them at any time by editing your post.Sextanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869179401767968180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833454649093878095.post-88379908335199077052010-08-22T23:57:15.359-04:002010-08-22T23:57:15.359-04:00You found grand pictures, but the one of your par...You found grand pictures, but the one of your parents is the best.
