Yeah that DNS error happens once in a while when I'm on FR. I don't recall it happening with any frequency on other sites I visit. But like you said it was pretty frustrating for a while last night. It did stop though and now today there seems to be no problems.

That multiple IE windows open is a good suggestion Meek. I'll remember to do that next time the snafus start.

Thank you so much for the beautiful poem and graphic!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Shouldn't that be how do you define the word "is" for BC?

Oh, yeah. I have made multiple posts like that before and started making a point to check like that. I go to the bottom of the thread and check AND REFRESH the page too. That way, if the post did 'stick', I will see it appear there.

By doing this I have saved myself from the multiple posts syndrome from the DNS error occurance.

You are very welcome.

Thank you OESY, er, uh, I mean ABBY.

I printed the article from the NYP website yesterday and left it on the printer not knowing how to handle it from there. (The printer is in the office next door, which is where the movie goer is for this week and next.) The copy I printed may or may not have been thrown out by now, and she may or may not be aware that it was there. I like your suggestion, except that I'm not sure how I would/should respond if she both reads the review and sees the movie and still 'dis'-es the facts...

-but I like your idea. Thank you again!

When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted


When Earth's last picture is painted
And the tubes are twisted and dried
When the oldest colors have faded
And the youngest critic has died
We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it
Lie down for an aeon or two
'Till the Master of all good workmen
Shall put us to work anew


And those that were good shall be happy
They'll sit in a golden chair
They'll splash at a ten league canvas
With brushes of comet's hair
They'll find real saints to draw from
Magdalene, Peter, and Paul
They'll work for an age at a sitting
And never be tired at all.


And only the Master shall praise us.
And only the Master shall blame.
And no one will work for the money.
No one will work for the fame.
But each for the joy of the working,
And each, in his separate star,
Will draw the thing as he sees it.
For the God of things as they are!


-- Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

Hey-I'll have to look at this at home. I'm just getting the little red x here at work.

One more day and CG will be home!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!

[JustAmy]

Here we go again!

I'll see how long I can put up with this before deciding to do some errands.

[JustAmy]

On the red Xs, did you right click and then click show image?

When I looked, they did not open right away for me either.

[Laura Earl]

No, but my company has all kinds of filters...I should be able to view it at home.

[JustAmy]

What an awesome image, OESY. The poem by Rudyard Kipling is just beautiful!

Thank you for sharing them with us!!

;~) .... I guess he should have had two questions. (Probably several more)

[JustAmy]

Fotki may be running extra slow today. I've been having to click on some of my images twice to get them to show.

Good afternoon, AG.

Hope you are having a great day.

I think I will shut down for awhile after this post. Just too many DNS errors to fight with at this time. :(

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Yep, we have a lot of questions for him too, not that we'll ever get the truth out of him...

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Are you in the laundry business?
