Charlie needs a small box. We don't want a flat pig you know.
Daft I had an idea last night about stamps. You know how we have to make our avatars a certain size? Well we could take a picture of ourselves with Charlie and size it down for his passport and T can see us as well.

Ding ding ding. Bromers you got it! I definitly want to participate. I am in Michigan near D-town. (Detroit). So I am a bit more south than Piggiemom.

**PiggieMom** · #**103** 04-19-06, 09:44 am

That saves me the trip of driving to Detriot if no other Michiganders signed up.

You all should take a picture of Charlie with your pigs. I'd sign up, too, but someone from Ft. Worth has already signed up, and there's really nothing worth seeing in Dallas ... unless you want a picture of the hospital I work in.

**PiggieMom** · #**106** 04-19-06, 10:44 am

How about just a picture of you with Charlie Susan? I think it's worth seeing.

Or you could take him to meet the Dallas Cowboys and/or their Cheerleaders.

Okay. Notice the red pinpoint icon next to my name in my posts now? I added my location (approximate) to the GoogleMap (link is at top now). THEN, if you go into your google record on the map (My Record), I think, cut and past the URL into a new profile field on your profile--there is a new field specifically for that--you'll get the pinpoint icon, too.

Then a member can click on that icon to see where you live!!

ALSO, I created a user group for Charlie that you can join--also in your profile. Haven't figured out how to display the members yet, but I will.

Googlemap:

Tip: Use the slider scale graphic to zoom in and out.

Tip: Click a spot and drag to move the map around.

I love Google Earth. I have been playing with it for months now. Just a suggestion to people if you are going to put yourself on it use the location of the center of your city or state not your actual house. You never know who may be looking at it. Just trying to keep everyone safe.

**Percy's Mom** · #**111** 04-19-06, 11:43 am

Hmmm. I keep getting errors when I click to insert my information. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

**CavySpirit** · #**112** 04-19-06, 01:08 pm

I see. It's not letting you because of the apostrophe in your name. I can't fix that, so it's either change your name

or just not be on the map. So sorry!

It will probably get fixed in a new release of the feature. Not sure when that will be.

**Percy's Mom** · #**113** 04-19-06, 01:13 pm

Well poo! Oh well. I'm on the original map program listed in this thread if anyone wants to know where I am, or you can just find Richmond, VA on a map.

I am really busy over the next week so shall set a deadline probably for the end of next week, aiming to send Charlie on his way at the start of May. I like the idea of a little notebook, would probably just save money and postage to combine them in one.

**KPIGGY** · #**115** 04-19-06, 01:26 pm

Ok. I tried to get on the map but I kept ending up in the Atlantic Ocean.

**CavySpirit** · #**116** 04-19-06, 01:28 pm

Sounds like a personal problem to me!
