anyone an expert on avatars?

Trying to load an avatar for my profile has whipped my b***.  Anybody out there an expert?

What kind of problem are you having? Most likely, your photo is at too high a resolution or had too may gigs to be uploaded.

It is, and I do not have photoshop or anything to edit it with!  I feel awkward, (the word I'm trying not to use is nekked) not having an avatar. 

I was just notified that though there is a cancellation for Tuesday surgery schedule, my doctor's office has not submitted my insurance information in time to get approval for Tuesday.  The next available surgery date is mid-September.  I am so crushed.  It's a blow to the hard work I've done for the last three months....ughhhhhhhhh. 

If you can e-mail me your photo in the next 5 minutes or so I can see what I can do with it. I am leaving work early around 3:00 though.

Find out where the communication broke down. If your office didn't send the info, then make sure they fax or e-mail it to the insurance company TODAY. Then call your insurance company and ask how much notice they need to approve you. Then PRAY!

The doctor's office faxed it Wednesday...I just gof off the phone with Tricare and they need 3-5 days for approval.  There was a cancellation on doctor's schedule for Tuesday, but I'm not going to make it..... 

The e-mail from Jaime at the doctor's office reads (after me telling her I just got off the phone with Tricare too:  

Thank you for letting me know. I know you are disappointed but just remember this is a big step in your life and we don’t want to ru**** Take this time to prepare for your surgery and it will be here before you know it. I put you on the schedule for Sept 16^th or 17^th whichever you prefer. Both dates are available. I will get in touch with you as soon as I get the approval from TriCare. Have a great weekend!

I am so indignant...I KNOW this is a big step.....I've been preparing 3 months and YES, I want to ru****!  I have a bad attitude 'bout now.    I should be happy I have a date, but instead I'm seething....ugh.

Thank you so very much for working on my avatar.....you are an ANGEL....and I needed one 'bout now!!!! 

You need to stop right now and count to ten.

Then, you need to talk to God and ask him for guidance on this.

You have made amazing progress. Don't let one missed opportunity cause you to self-destruct. Yes you are ticked off! But it just wasn't right. This way you still have 3 weeks to make sure work will be ok, that your family will be ok, that you have the right items in your cupboards and fridge. God has you right where he wants you, in His hands.

you are so right and I didn't know I could walk as fast or as far as I just did....I'm better now.  Whew!  Just had to deal with it (no cigarette, no food, just coped). 

it's amazing what the board does to the words rush and it when combined:  ru****!
