No, the quotation marks don't make any difference, but since the code works with or without quotes, and since FR Mail messes up anything with quotation marks in the html code, I have gotten in the habit of never using quotes in my codes. (with the exception of a font face that's more than one word - then you HAVE to put quotation marks around them)

I think that the FR FORUM ADDS quotation marks in an img src command, though NOT in table commands! I KNOW it adds the < TBODY> command in the forum, but I don't type it when I'm building a post with html tables because I can't see it makes any difference in viewing the codes anywhere when testing, and it's just an extra command to turn on and turn off.

Good afternoon, Meg.
What a horrible time you must be having.
A few years ago, I lost a few family pictures when I re-formatted.
I was sure that I had backed up everything.

Good luck on getting everything back.

Hope you are having warm fuzzy weather.

*Thank You*

Billie for your beautiful graphic and poem yesterday and for all
your kind comments on my posts, Billie and Amy.
I am stopping for awhile as the big search has been going on for over
12 hours straight today and I am crosseyed.
I am going to the store and buy chocolates
It is much warmer..56!

[Billie]

Meg, I hate so much that you lost so many of your beautiful graphics and just hope you can recover the bulk of them. Thanks for your sweet comments and hope the chocolate helps to ease the pain. :)

Wish I knew how to help you get them all back miraculously. :(

This was GREAT! I loved “Happy Feet” Thanks for doing this!

[jaycee]

I loved this, Dubya! I had received it in email and actually thought it was one of the sweetest emails ever!

Thank you!

[jaycee]

This is so sweet, Amy, thanks~~~~

[tiapam]

That’s o.k. ! Sorry for the confusion!

[Billie]

Thanks, tiapam - “happy” you enjoyed it. :) Penguins are so cute.

[Billie]

Why can’t I get caught up? :( I should quit skipping around, answering pings from top of “My Comments”! Thanks for nice comments re Monday’s opening, Amy. And I really like what you did with this pretty woman!

[Billie]

Hey, jaycee. Getting back to answering some pings from Monday! Thank you for your nice compliments on Monday’s opening. Glad you liked hearing a little of Merle Haggard. :)

[Billie]

Holy crap! My dog is a democrat!

LOL! Cute! I love it! (poor little guy - being called a nasty name like that though) :)

Thank you, Billie..I need magic at this point!

I have accepted..More than half of the files I found won’t display...I have spent many hours searching, organizing, downsizing..and have lost most it...When I get some rest, I’ll retrieve some of my favorites from my framed graphics files., clean up the mess from restoring, and start over.
I am going to enjoy my coffee and chocolate!
Chocolate always makes it all better.
;o)

I have been noticing the Carbonite ads..Thanks..good advice.

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

SFC Jason Hickman, USA, KIA Afghanistan 7JAN2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

LOL

I didn’t hesitate to post that after receiving it via email. Guess that I should have changed it to Holy Moley, tho. LOL

Good evening, GG.

We saw the sun today also. It was really nice after so many gray soggy days.

Hope you enjoyed your Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.
