HTML is so unforgiving.

I know, and don't we all!! One little tiny mistake and it's ALL messed up. Don't give up, jaycee, you are doing great! :-)

I need to tell you, when I was putting together a very elaborate table presentation at the Finest, early on in my learning html, I literally spent hours - way into the wee hours of the morning trying to find the errors that were causing my table borders to go all weird on me. I knew, if I just couldn't find the mistakes, I would have to send the whole mess to Billie. That would have killed me because I hate to admit defeat. Fortunately, I was able to find the problems, and there were several (center commands not closed, blockquotes not in the right place, etc.). I really was at the point of tears. Now, I can find html mistakes with my eyes closed! You will get there too, jaycee, just have patience. :-)

The Heart Attack Grill opened in 2002 and does a booming business. They were on a segment of John Stossel’s Dateline, and the Arizona Board of Nursing and the Center for Nursing Advocacy launched a lawsuit against the burger joint over their derogatory use of nurses.

Their French Fries are called “Flat-Liner French Fries”. LOL! I have a friend who went there last month, and he said “It really was rather tasty - and a nice change from the ‘eat healthy’ places that are on every street corner, cramming their ‘heart-healthy’ steamed tofu and codliver oil on the rocks down the customers throats.” ROTF!!!

If you’re buying the burgers, maybe I could help, by supplying the liquid refreshment to go with them.

Okie dokie! And that would be Margaritas, right? ;-)

Have you ever had an IN-N-OUT burger? I know you come to southern CA and they have them there. Do they also have them in Arizona? I know that you can't get IN-N-OUT burgers back east. Back there, everyone raves about the White Castle burgers (but I've had both and IN-N-OUT wins, hands down).

On, good grief! People really need to lighten up and get a sense of humor. It's a business, they've found a niche and it's funny. Really, I watched the video and not one time did I think it was demeaning to the nursing profession.

OK, I have smelt them and they were not pleasant. But that was in the middle of a hot, humid NY summer.

Learning to find the mistakes takes time and practice..This one was easy because the clue was right there..I still have to start over when my eyes glaze looking for a mistake .
If I had to do that on a large Finest opening post I would really cry! I still mess up on blockquotes in a simple post.

Yes, it is unforgiving. What threw me on that first try, when I previewed it, it didn’t have that wide width of gold on the side...it only had a small mistake at the bottom but the picture was the right size...but when it posted it had all that gold on the side. Its hard, isn’t it?

I am taking a break but I will be studying and trying all along and I told Billie maybe by summer I might be able to do something..LOL!!!!

Have to tell this...when my oldest son was in 5th, 6th grade, can’t remember exactly, he had to write an adventure story. He wrote about being down on the ground after his small plane went down. He told about getting his stuff out of the plane and trying to figure out what went wrong. In the story, he told of walking this long way and getting worn out and he said “I was too tired to shoot a flare.” I will never forget that as long as I live. I just thought it was so cute. So from now on if I say “I’m too tired to shoot a flare”, you all will know what I mean. And you all can say the same. I have a lot of tales from their childhood and isn’t it lovely to remember? Sometimes I long for them to be little again...don’t we all?

Oh, yes! Every time I go to Prescott or Phoenix, I try to stop at In and Out! Those are the closest to me. You are right, they are wonderful!

" that would be Margaritas, right?"

Of course! Isn't that how we will wake up Amy? LOL!

Happy Sunday, Meg.

Thank you for your lovely Opening Graphic and inspirational message.
Thank you for being the perfect hostess.

Happy to hear that you are feeling a little better.
Have a Blessed Lord's Day.

I love it, I love it! That is the funniest video I’ve ever seen and before this day is over I plan to have a cheeseburger from somewhere...I just had to answer this before I laid down. The Daytona 500 is supposed to be on, if anyone is interested....LOL!

Thank you yorkie, for this entertainment....I get sick of being told that everything is gonna kill me. Bible says our days are numbered, so if we believe the Bible, we’re gonna go when our time is here! You have to either believe it or not.

See ya later, alligator!
