Re: falling asleep at night and repo...

[Guest guest]

Molly - I had a few additional pics to add, so I created a n

Repoed folder and tried to add some pics but it keeps saying file

upload exceeded or something like that - I am using small files -

like 50k each max....any ideas why it wont take them? I thought it

said each account had a 5MB limit, but I'm waaay below that. If it

doesn't work, maybe I can email them to you Molly.
