I'm not sure about how it will be with Stagecoach, but when we went to Coachella (3 years ago) the local motel owners were pretty cool about people camping on their properties. At the place where My brother was staying we camped in our van in the parking lot and there was people with tents set up on the lawn of the place. They even had a lady selling tacos by the pool side in the late morning till after lunch.

WHAT?? Really? Were these in Indio?? Most likely, making an extra buck for their families selling tacos etc! Hmmm...good business!! Cant see any hotel in La Quinta or surrounding doing that.

They weren't charging for the extra people. They had all their rooms filled up already.
They just kinda looked the other way to people senting up tents and such.
I talked to the manager and he was cool with it. They were selling CDs in the lobby.
I guess the fact that they marked the rooms up 300% was enough for them

Usually these are all families that work at them, one is a made, one is maintenance etc..and then to have them selling food outside...pretty good! I know I have stayed at one of them out there, and these maids bring their families to the pools all day to swim while they work! Yeah, and the mark up! sheesh!!

I download my pics to photobucket, then copy the "image" link and paste. But if you click on Preview post at the botton, then you will be in another screen and then there is an option to "attach files" - Manage Attachments...you can also do it from there and they are those small pics that you click on to view larger...sometimes it doesnt work for me..but try that too.

oil spill are you asking how to have an "avatar" which is what the picture is under your name?
for that you go to your user control panal USER CP which is the left side of the navigation towards the top of this page. it says
USER CP MEMBERS LIST FAQ CALENDAR and so on. do you see it?
Then you would go to "edit profile picture" on the left side of that next screen. hopefully will be self explanatory from there. Hope that is what you were after.

Yeah I did that and I have a pic on my profile but I can"t get on my posts :-( it keeps telling me "upload fail" I am not real computer savy it took me months to get to post
Bill...your probably too big hehehe I mean your picture.
I re-size mine by e-mailing them to myself which gives me an option to re-size automatically. I don't know how to do all the fancy computer stuff either.

You probably have Windows Photo Gallery on your comp. You can resize it in that also..or just upload to Photobucket and resize from there.
