Chiquitunga Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Hey all! So some of you know, but I am the old member here Margaret Clare, if you remember me. Hello! I was being all hidden ... [img]http://oi53.tinypic.com/d420y.jpg[/img] ..and got a new account last year! Shame on me, I know! I let the mods know a couple weeks ago though after a thread was started on me asking where I was and all .. and they decided merging my accounts would be best. So that was nifty and I'm not suspended! Thank you mods, especially Lil Red, and dUSt! Absolutely no hard feelings [i]in the slightest[/i] about the thread. Thanks for remembering me and for wondering how I am! (if we still had that care bear emoticon I would post it here :j) So yes, I am still discerning .. though I'm not sure I would word it as that now, though I guess so. But in short, I have to wait now even longer to enter - if you're wondering, you can PM me And I've been just generally not wanting to post as much about my discernment and all online and everything Though at the same time, it is really great having this community here on PM!! I've met some pretty amazing friends on here. Very thankful for that! So anyway, just letting you all know. I'm happy now to have my old account and posts and all back as me And I see a number of you, old and new, struggle with waiting too, so I'm in good company. Okay, see you all around as usual! God bless! p.s. Oh and they're letting me change my screen name too. I do [i]love[/i] my name Chiquitunga (after the wonderful new Carmelite venerable! [url="http://chiquitunga.jimdo.com/"]http://chiquitunga.jimdo.com/[/url]) But I think I like this other name better after a hymn to Our Lady .. you'll see <-- and why does this cute smiley have to be called "proud" now, lol Before it was just ^_^ Oh well
MargaretTeresa Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 So you are the reason I had to make MT my screen name... I had wanted Margaret Clare! It's all good

Feankie Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Okay, I don't want to hijack this thread, but since you're discussing accounts, etc ) How do you go about getting an avatar? I can't stand that little black and white thingy in the box!! I tried up loading a pic, but keep getting the message it's not in the correct format. I tried it in a PDF file, a GPEG file, no luck. I also tried following the instructions on Phatmass re: getting an avatar. No luck there as well. HELP!!!

[/quote] Try a jpg or jpeg file - if you only have a bmp or tiff you can always convert these in MS Paint by opening in Paint and doing a Save As and changing the type of file. Make sure the file isn't too large (specificiations are on the Edit Profile pic page. PDF files are not graphics - they are snapshots of documents and gpeg? never heard of it - do you mean jpeg? There are different kinds of jpg, jpeg files but really, I know for sure that a jpeg will work because that's what I used. Give it a go again! Edited August 29, 2011 by nunsense
Feankie Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks so much! As soon as I'm finished browsing the VS this morning I'm going to try your advice. And yes, I meant jpeg...just finger slippage

I had no idea that you were under a different pseudonym. [/quote] No worries, Mater!! None at all! It was me who almost got my own self suspended and all creating another account. And I chose to let them know. I'm really happy now having the accounts merged .. seriously I was wanting to have my old name changed way back also, but didn't get to, so that was another reason I created a new account. But now they're one, so that was a great solution. But yeah, I thought it best to tell the whole story in the thread, just to let everyone know how it happened and all. I was worried I might make you feel bad. Please don't though! Now I'm just trying to figure out if I should stick with Chiquitunga or go with O gloriosa Virginum. They're very graciously giving me the opportunity just now. Not sure .. Chiqui is pretty out of the ordinary and Carmelite at the same time, though I love O gloriosa (and that tune gets repeated a lot in the Teresa of the Andes movie .. like the night before she enters! love it!)

Perhaps I will stick with it .. or her! My little Paraguian Sister in Carmel! She entered a little later too and still is among those to have died young and all!
