Will be back later....gotta eat breakfast and straighten up. I hope today isn’t as busy as yesterday~~~I have to get algaecide for the pool today as I’m having it closed this week. You all may not understand, but I’m glad to put the pool to bed for winter. Tired of the work I have to do.!

Have a great 'algecide the pool' day!

[Billie]

Are you kidding me? I can’t right click on that url...it won’t take me anywhere! If its blue, etc. you can right click, if its in black, you can’t pull it up! (You may not know my lingo....its hard for ‘ME’ to explain~~LOL~~)

LOL! I didn't 'splain it very well. What I meant was to right-click on the picture itself and look at the properties (like you would do if you were saving a pic - or just posting it with the original url as some do) I only noticed something funny about it when I right-clicked to save it, and it had a file NAME (center) but not a file extension (.jpg or .gif)

Too much ado about nothing - it posted, strangely enough! You had an error in the code for posting the picture - didn't close the right bracket after the .jpg" - instead you had two left brackets after it. :)

CLICK

Amen.. thank you Mayor!
My prayer today is that “ Christ will so be the center of my focus and the center of focus for our Nation”...

May Jesus Christ be Praised!

Today is the first day of school for my children.!! Yipee.. that means Granddad and I go back into semi retirement! LOL.... from 8-2pm!

When I was pouring my morning coffee I reached over and opened the kitchen blind. This thing (secada) was looking back at me on the screen. It has been there since then, has moved just a tiny bit. I see his belly-side but those buggy eyes I can see! Just for fun!

[jaycee]

Usually, if it shows an out of place code on my preview, I go back and fix it before I post. Do not want that to show on my post. Are you saying I left it that way....duh? Yes, its much to do about nothing. But I do understand what you’re saying.

[jaycee]

Awwwwww, isn’t he sweet?

[Billie]

Usually, if it shows an out of place code on my preview, I go back and fix it before I post. Do not want that to show on my post. Are you saying I left it that way....duh?

Yes, there was an out of place code, but since your pic posted and there were no little >'s or anything showing, you didn't know there was a typo. IF you had a little red x instead of the flag pic, you would have looked to see what the problem was.

Just so you know what I'm talking about, this is the code you typed for that flag picture - and then let's put this to bed like you do your pool for the winter! LOL

[Billie]

Jaycee, you have mail - am sure the last </CENTER> command was the built-in FR fix to turn off any commands 'we' may have forgotten.

[Billie]

They’re noisy and yucky creatures, but have to admit that first pic surely is ‘pretty’ and colorful!

[jaycee]

Teehee......by jove, I think I got it! Isn’t life just a big barrel of fun! The End, right?

[pollywog]

Jaycee... how precious of you to share your beginnings here at FR.So sorry about the loss of your husband.

I came aboard during the 2000 election fiasco. I still don’t know how to start a thread!!!

I am “ plain jane” ! I can’t offer much in the way of graphics either! ** where do you all get these neat graphics??**

Hugs and good morning to all. Praying for this election BIG TIME!
Polly

[Billie]

The End. :)

[pollywog]

Yikes Jaycee! What kind of a “ thing” is that? Sorry but I am a great big scardie cat!

Polly

[jaycee]

Hey Pollywog, may I call you Polly for short? LOL! I have never processed a thread, I’m afraid. If I tried hard, I may could do it. I would need a little help with that!

Now, all our FRiends here taught me how to post pictures a couple of years ago. They were wonderful, patient, understanding and told me I could never ask a question that would be silly to them. I thought I would never learn how to do it in the beginning. It was a foreign language to me. NOW, I know how to do it.....I’m not sure I can give the right directions to get you started. I had to learn to search for the graphics. Google is best, Yahoo is just okay, let me think who may want to guide you through this, sweetie...by the way, I will say this quietly, I am Jane. teehee!

[jaycee]

You found it so fast!

Hi Amy - nice to see you today!

[JustAmy]

Good morning, FRiends.

I'm running kinda slow this morning, so please bear with me.
Too much on my plate this morning. :)

[JustAmy]

Hey Conor ... nice to see you today, too.

I sat up late to watch replays of the convention.
I missed it due to a PTA meeting ..... Go Governor Palin!!!
