I wish I knew how to pull pictures up

Dear Pharmboy, your life just got a lot easier.

To post a pic that is already posted on the Internet:

Right click on the photo you want to post on FR
Select PROPERTIES
HIGHLIGHT by double clicking, and COPY [Control+C] the "ADDRESS URL" (it will look something like this: http://us.news1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20011208/thumb.1007831837bush_afghan_kids_pmm103.jpg )
In the FR REPLY box, type this:
<img src=""http://us.news1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20011208/thumb.1007831837bush_afghan_kids_pmm103.jpg">
Preview, then post if the photo shows up in the preview

You may wonder why the photo shown at the bottom, whose URL I used to describe the process, didn't show up in the example of how to post it, but it did show up under the example of how to post it. It's because I used the keystroke commands to make the < and > signs rather than using the < and > themselves, which nullified the HTML commands.

To make the process easier to remember, I believe the "img src" stands for "image source". Go ahead, give it a try!

Kathryn Anne Shatzoff: When not Collecting, Giving

Kathryn Anne Shatzoff was not a collector, really, but her husband, Neil, the owner of a comic book shop, was. So a few years ago, he got her started collecting Barbie dolls.

He gave her an "I Love Lucy" doll as a gift, and now he's lost count of all the fancy dolls in their Riverdale home.

"We ran out of shelf space," said Mr. Shatzoff, chuckling.

In fact, Mrs. Shatzoff had carried a torch for Barbie since childhood, said her mother, Anne Davidson. A Manhattan native, Mrs. Shatzoff, 37, was an assistant in the risk management division of Marsh & McLennan, but spent a lot of her free time doing crafts and buying gifts for other people — no occasion necessary.

"She was the kind of person that would talk you into wanting something, just so she could go and buy it for you," said her husband.

Christmas, Mrs. Shatzoff's favorite holiday, will not be the same this year.

"I used to surprise her with stuff," said Mr. Shatzoff. "Every Christmas, we'd say, let's not buy each other anything, it's too much."

But then he would buy gifts for her anyway. And even though he did it every year, every year she was still surprised.

And she did the same for him.
