Don’t know about online sites but Animation Shop lets you reduce the number of colors in order to reduce file size. It might be something to look for in finding online sites.

I got this in an email just now. Had seen some before, but some are new ideas. Passing them on, FYI.....

Coffee filters ..who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing.

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

3. Protect China Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish.

4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.

7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.

11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.

12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.

13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them. Soaks out all the grease.

14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."

I love caring for the roses. It’s a great way to spend time outside. They always look so lovely. Cut them and bring them inside. Roses intimidated me at first but they are fairly easy to care for. I bet you have a hard time letting them go. :)

Happy Tuesday...even if it is snowy.

Make homemade soup and curl up with a good book or movie.

I would! :D

There is a reply floating around in cyberspace at this moment.

I answered your question that this was a chicadee but seemed a little darker, even though it could be the photography. Most of ours are lighter than that but suppose there’s a difference in colors in male and female, like other birds.

I can’t figure out what happened to the one I just sent. Maybe I didn’t click backwards enough...LOL!

I swear I will be back later.....

Hunker down if you can.

It must be a different type of snow - The police scanner is reporting accident after accident, multiple cars, multiple ambulances.

Gusts to 49 mph.

Yep, that has happened to me too. There is a whole bunch of "stuff" floating around out there. No one knows where it goes, or why. LOL

Well, it's a pretty little bird. I wish we had cardinals and chickadees out here, and fireflies. We have scrub jays and hawks and grasshoppers as big as helicopters (well, almost!). LOL

We're getting a moderate snowfall here at the moment. I just put out some sunflower seeds for the birds, and we had about an inch of accumulation. Not so bad, yet.
