It may be possible to reduce the size of the big files you send to your editor. Because M$ files carry all the historical changes, it is possible to (sometimes) reduce them a little by saving them to the desktop with a completely different name. Change it there to what you need it to be and pick it up from there for the email. You can also try saving them as .rtf (always a Good Thing if you are sending something to someone - stops it picking up their defaults) - this compresses some of the formatting instructions.

All found on our land. One's a little bit of calcite, obvious solution deposit underground at some point. One has obvious fossils in it. And one, which also has less visible fossils, is just a comfortable rock to hold. I once had a greenish rock that I kept in a coat pocket for years and years--and finally lost "somewhere."

Keys! That reminds me that I've got some random keys around here that are begging to be made into shinys. So thank you!

Yep. Shinys is what I call the pendants and necklaces and bracelets and earrings and such that I make. In this case I've got some keys and other stuff to turn into steampunky shinys.
