There are people who still have dialup. I understand it is still a lot of people. They might not want to visit your website if it loads too slowly for them.
Google "gimp optimize image for website" The second site listed is
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/optimize-images-web-gimp/ I did not read the page, however it appears to be on target.

I hope this doesn't seem rude but why? I mean it is the proper size on the web page.

Hi Mike!!
I was poking around your website and noticed your images have not be optimized for the Internet. For instance
http://fatherswithforeignbabies.us/photos/saintthomas1.jpg .
You'll want to make your images smaller in visual size and in file size.
