Also, I am not sure you can automatically expect the output of the find command to be assigned to the file variable. I would output the find command to a temp file, and then grab the filenames one by one from the file and then put that in a do/done loop. Eg:

find ./ -type f \( -iname \*.jpg -o -iname \*.png \) > yourtempfile.tmp    
for file in `cat yourtempfile.tmp`     
do     
    echo "in loop"    
    echo "$file"    
....     
done

Here are some results I got when it ran:

in loop
./Figs_XSR900.JPG
'.'/'Figs_XSR900.JPG'

Personal computers were only just starting to become common. The Apple Macintosh launched in 1984, the IBM PC a few years before. There was no Microsoft Windows, no Linux. If you didn’t type your paperwork yourself, most large workplaces had a typing pool to do it for you

I was given a failing grade in school because I used a computer to type an essay and print it. Dot matrix gave me away. It was considered cheating back then. My Dad was so pissed he went and bought a letter quality printer so that the teacher couldn't tell that it wasn't typed.

In the vein of dull advice, how about packing up a diaper bag and getting a car seat in your car. Then pick a small item that you cannot leave the house without bringing along. You can't forget it in the car either, you need to bring it with you wherever you go, so make it something one of you can put in a purse or bag. For me, when we had our first child, the realization the next morning was that we couldn't just jump in the car anymore and go. It had now become a process.

I distinctly remember that the NFL tried that out once, where they broadcast a game with no announcers. My Dad and I thought it was amazing, but evidently we were far and few between as I recall they only did it the one time.

What I really don't understand is how they end a football game and then have to sit around for 20 mins rehashing the game they JUST SAW...
"Remember that time the guy caught the ball and then ran?"
"Oh yeah, that was like 10 whole mins ago."
"That was so good."
"Yeah."

It was like an email that you would get monthly. Someone would deliver it to your mailbox. We used to call it shrubscribe since it was made from actual plant fibers. Over time it has been changed to subscribe since it all went electronic. It's how we used to get our news as well. Weekly World News and the National Enquirer were our main sources. Sadly the internet has taken those away from us.

Damn english. Yeah I can see how that was a way to read it. I meant that they stepped out of the room one time, and I tickled the little guys feet. Who wouldn't want to tickle a baby's cute little feet. They never saw me, and I never told them I did it. Now if I was an asshole, I would be telling them what I did, now that he is older and doesn't stutter, trying to use it to prove them wrong. But I would never bring it up, and only brought it up here because I can remain mostly anonymous so they will never find out.

I tickled his feet one time when they were out of the room and they have no idea it happened. Maybe I wrote that the wrong way, but I have never gone against their wishes otherwise, and I damn sure wouldn't do it right in front of them. You are blowing this way out of proportion. I only gave out information pertinent to the topic of the thread, and since I don't know you, and you don't know me, I really don't understand your point here. What are you trying to accomplish by judging me with a single paragraph of my story? Would you like me to add in the part where, when my kids were young their mom walked out on all of us and left us standing in a driveway as she drove off. I had three young kids that I had to take inside, feed, get them ready for bed, then get them up the next morning and get them to school and daycare, then get myself to work. You are trying to portray me as some gigantic asshole who doesn't respect my kids. I love my kids and grandkids, and no matter what you say or read off your Jump To Conclusions Mat(tm) will change that. I have always been there for them, end of story. This has been interesting, but I am done here.

You specifically ignored the rules they asked you to follow when watching their children

One single time I tickled my grandson's feet. Other than that all of the other rules they have placed I have been respectful of whether I agree or disagree and I am allowed to think of their rules however I want. Not sure where you are getting that I am just blatantly ignoring them.

If you are a man over 40 attending a Taylor Swift concert it's highly possible you have a teenage daughter.
