    The entries that are between intellect and insanity or any combination there of by avatar are a possible winner. The size is 200x200 max pixels and what 150 kB max? Double check that cause I am not sure.
    This is my very first contest win (woeful) and hopefully doing it correctly?

    From me what is inside my mind *I think*. Would be the classic Einstein-tongue photo,.. being that insanity of intellect line between all in one. But it is media or Wikipedia media, another fine line so I guess it’s not exactly ok
    But from the Wikipedia and larger than should be. Mmm. The link links to the image my iPad would not post and I can fix the image when I am on the desktop. Or not...?

    Of course holiday madness will do just fine,.. madly rushing consumers fighting for that final toy...right?

    As it seems to the voting ends 12/24/17. And the entries should be in by next Sunday ... if any thing needs changing let me know what to do? Thanks everyone for your entries and votes..

    Think: aka Bill.

    edit...
    I uploaded the image to my wordpress blog in the right dimensions :) here

    I assuming you mean "Intelligence" rather than intellect, but nit pick aside, I'll go with this:

    We haven't done 150 kb for ages, but if that's what you want to go with, that's fine.

    intelligence was the option in the word selections but I tried to keep the syllables and first letter semi-equal between the insanity and intellect... :) mmmmm or just maybe I was going for length cause now looking... (sounding out) seems that was off. too.----now I can maybe edit as well?

    but not 150 by 150 Pixels - but 150 kilobytes and 200 by 200 Pixels I did not know if there was a limit on the kilobyte amount these days? so I sorta remember 150 kilobytes but .. IDK

    lets see If I can change that intellect to intelligence?

    edits --- don't change the title of the thread ahhh well but sure a mod can do it ... I bet ..

    The usual contests do 1 MB limit, but you can pick whatever you want.

    that was not what I thought ---- ? but wow If I had know that - the winning entry I did would of been different lots different I kept that entry down in size and hoped it was ok --- with color indexing and so on.. :) optimized gif stuff... it was under 100 if I remember... Of course a 1 megabyte size would of slowed down the whole thing to like = very slow but I am open to entries off topic even... you know but that is just probably because I do a themed music entry like every other week too... and it always has off topic postings --- although off topic for this topic might be just a difficult to make. :)

    For my entry, I went with John Nash, the mathematical genius who also struggled with mental health issues. Nash was the subject of the 2001 film A Beautiful Mind (based on the biography of the same name), if you've ever seen that.

    Now with the movie beautiful mind the ideas and such being very close to delusions I have as well made total sense to me and of course increased my paranoia about everything, to where this is the first time I am admitting that it had done that. The Sensation of paranoia with the movie usually I played it off as he was exploited for what he was, yet I bet he was doing the opposite. The one lesson in the movie was not to do ECT .. And in some hospital times it was offered and I turned them down.. As my friends who did this are never the same.

    But yeah I wake sometimes to someone in my room when there's no one there. Someone asked how I know or what do I do?
    I just put my glasses on and the hallucinations disappear hopefully.

    Great theme. I'm tempted to use this:

    But it's hard to tell which side represents intelligence and which side represents insanity, so I'll figure out something else. :rommie:

    OK not to end early or end late but just to repeat the same thing over and over expecting difficult results errrr different result ... I will end on the eastern sea board at 1 am or... what is now plus 11 hours or less? 1 am est ===

    I do believe we went with famous or popular people who are mentally ill === nice...

    here is an almost exhaustive search of these types of individuals that also deal with or was dealing with --- Other problems of the mind.
