Why won't wallpaper work right?

I have a simple image of an anthropomorphic pig that I want as my wallpaper.

I have tried a dozen different sizes based on Reddit posts and suggestions from other forums, and none of them work. They all do the same thing.

Any suggestions? Here are the images:

Need a modern creative florist for Mother’s Day

My mother means the world to me. About 10 years ago, I called up a florist in Cheyenne and gave them a bunch of instructions about what my mother would and wouldn’t like. The florist hand delivered the bouquet to my mother and she was so excited she was in tears.

The girl had created a modern succulent/dried weed/ sculpture like thing that didn’t look like your typical Mother’s Day crap. It was perfect.

To my dismay, that young lady got outta Cheyenne quick and moved to SanDiego.

I need to find someone who can do something similar for my mom. One year I paid $150 for a bouquet trusting the florist and it ended up being gawdy and flashy—two thing my mother is not. It had birds of paradise in it—the worst mother day gift ever.

Does anyone know if a creative person that could put together a beautiful, modern, succulent bouquet that was tasteful and unique that could then deliver it to my mom? I can pay up to $150 if that helps. I’d like to see a picture of it before it’s delivered to make sure it’s not cheesey.

Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks.

And the quality of calls is abysmal. I get stuttering and echos on nearly every call.

Why is this happening and should I try another SIP provider? Or is this a Ubiquity problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have about 7 mirrors that I have to move soon. They are all about 4 ft x 8 ft and extremely heavy -- doubt I could even lift one by myself.

Some things I plan to do:

  • Place masking tape in a big X on each surface.
  • Use either Funoodles or pipe insulation foam attached to the mirror edges on the floor.
  • Wrap them in moving blankets
  • Use powerful suction cups for glass

But I was curious if it would be a terrible idea to do something like take a 2x4x8 and cut a 1" groove down the middle of the long end. Place the mirror with the foam inside the goove to provide a solid edge and support for the mirror. Then add a series of rollers (like garage door rollers) attached through the wood to roll the mirror without lifting it. Use the suction cups to steady it vertically. (see diagram).

Then as for the stairs, place a 1x12 to make a ramp...sounds dangerous.

Any suggestions would be great. I'm thinking they may not be too heavy to carry, but I am getting old. If there was an easy way to do this, please let me know.

Oh, and no, I"m unable to hire a moving company to do it for me. Long story.

Thanks for any help.
