Have you jumped out of one of those C-130s?

Yep. Did my "cherry" jump with the 2/325 White Falcons.

Thanks very much, Kathy - sorry about the widescreen display - I had a bad code in my template:

table width= "100%"

It has been excised.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy hunting!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

We thank you for your service to our country.

Excision is good at times. d:o)

[ConorMacNessa]

Learning how to use tables can be a humiliating process - but well worth the effort and embarrassment!

Boy, is that too true.

I’m sure it had to be the gremlins who stole the “center” code for yesterday’s thread.

The way I figure it, anyone who objects or has a problem is more than welcome to try themselves. It’s not that easy, and some tiny piece of code is always trying to escape or trip us up.
