~mrchips Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:47) #301

I knew she'd help!

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:49) #302

Marcia.. I DID that... to such disastorous ends...

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:49) #303

I can post it for you - I know what you want there, but follow my instructions and you will do just fine.

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:51) #304

okay... here's me trying again... like Marcia said...

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:52) #305

be sure the spacing is exactly as I sent it to you and no dotted line - just your pix source url ( you have it right)...try again.

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:53) #306

YEAH!!!!

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:53) #307

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:54) #308

That's me and B at the taste of Colorado last year... I'm making a scrapbook and thought I'd post some of the silly pics! SMILE

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:54) #309

Your url is wrong...put your pointer on the picture and ...hang on...let me check something...

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:55) #310

nope it wasn't... it worked!!!

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (15:57) #311

there is no picture there when you remove the command you just get a pink and blue goof box. Check again. Put pointer on the picture - use right mouse button and scroll down to "copy image location" click there. then put it in your command string.

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:00) #312

well damn it all... I saw it once... here goes again... damn you internet gremlins... LEAVE MY PICTURE BE!

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:01) #313

okay... here's the image location http://homepages.msn.com/ResortRd/staceyleigh48/festivalcropped.jpg so now I'm gonna stick it inside the img src command...

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:04) #314

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I wanna see the pictures!!!!

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:05) #315

Honey, it won't work. Click on your links...they go to a blank page with that goof square in it.

~mrchips Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:06) #316

If Marcia can't conjure up the image, then neither can David Copperfield!

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:09) #317

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:10) #318

That is brandon and stacey at lake dillon...

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:11) #319

Love your web page Dear! Those ferns sure look like here on the volcano, do they not, John?!

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:12) #320

nope... it's not... evidently talkcity prevents you from using their cache of pictures unless you are linking them to a talkcity page... dammit. thanks for trying!

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:13) #321

I'm meant 'nope it's not' to the fact the pic didn't post... the ferns... well heck, I dunno anything 'bout ferns!

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:16) #322

which is found at http://homepages.msn.com/ResortRd/staceyleigh48/

~mrchips Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:18) #323

Can't see the ferns here and haven't gone to Stacey's web page yet, but I'll see if Talkcity graciously allows me access...unlike KWXX!

~mrchips Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:22) #324

The ferns look very much like our Volcano species...and the Colorado scenery, the lake and the mountains are beautiful...but the people part of the pictures is much too small...but they look like a lovely, happy couple.

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:22) #325

which is found at http://homepages.msn.com/ResortRd/staceyleigh48/

~mrchips Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:23) #326

Looks like we posted over each other...found it...thanks

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:24) #327

I did not post that 325. How did that happen???

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:24) #328

funny... I clicked on the http://homepages.msn.com/ResortRd/staceyleigh48/festivalcropped.jpg that I'd listed above and it showed me the pic in it's own browser window and when I clicked "back" all the pics were filled in... hmmm...

~stacey Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:25) #329

POLTERGIST

~MarciaH Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (16:37) #330

I guess you will have top put the thumbnail of the closeup of you two (he's a hunk!) in the command string and hope it shows up as the larger one. Worth a try!

~aschuth Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (08:40) #331

Nice ferns on Mr. B, too! (Moments like this, I miss Jimmy!)

~stacey Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (10:06) #332

(lotsa moments I miss him...) *grin* about the ferns!

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (14:18) #333

Chris and Ri�tte Walton's prize production for your enjoyment: was gonna post their names under their images, but she did not get back to me yet and I am eager to post this for you-all.

~aschuth Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (14:34) #334

Where's the handbag?

~aschuth Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (14:35) #335

Ah-oh, if Jerry F. sees this...

~mrchips Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (14:40) #336

Marcia, you are so danged clever...how did you make the umlaut over the e in Riette?...Is it a special keyboard, or just more of your programming wizardry?

~stacey Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (15:02) #337

Alexander... a young mother down the street mentioned that they've lost the handbag and now Tinky Winky has a deep "manly" voice... I think Jerry F won... I think Isa is the little one Marcia...

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (16:34) #338

I think the little one is Isa, too. I just could not recall the name of the older one...sorry!!!

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (17:15) #339

Speaking of the Waltons...(not those Waltons...) I posted two new paintings of Ri�tte's in Comic Art...please enjoy them - they are lovely...as everything is that she does.

~mrchips Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (17:37) #340

Re: Ree, talented, oui!

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (18:01) #341

Si Si!

~MarciaH Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (00:59) #342

I just heard from the Mama of those darling little ones I posted this morning. "The one in Red is Isa, the one in Purple is Elza!" Thank you!

~mrchips Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (01:42) #343

They are cute as bunnies.

~riette Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (02:29) #344

�basking in the glory, frowning at ALexander� My tubbies don't DO that handbag thang!! Handbags are for sissies!

~riette Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (02:30) #345

I find ISa's (THE OLDER ONE) pose so cool! She's such a clever thing. When she was born I had to tell Mum everything on the phone. So I said she looks like her dad. Mum said, 'Well, let's just hope she'll have HIS brains as well ....' Sure enough!

~mrchips Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (02:43) #346

OK...and hope they have Mum's artistic talent!

~Isabel Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (08:56) #347

stacey: a young mother down the street mentioned that they've lost the handbag and now Tinky Winky has a deep "manly" voice... I think Jerry F won... Oh my God, they lobotomized Tinky-Winky - What a cruel crime. (Just saw Jerry F. running down the street wearing black nylons and carrying a red handbag)

~wolf Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (20:04) #348

REE!!! your babies are beautiful!!!! thanks for sending the pick. isabel, have you been here before? are you a drooler finally braving the other areas of the spring?

~riette Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (02:27) #349

�toothy grin� Yep, yep, just keep mentioning it! Welcome, Isabel!!!

~Isabel Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (12:54) #350

Thank You! Where's drool - somewhere south of Uzbekistan? Uh, my geography knowledge were never the best...

~riette Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (13:39) #351

Go to Main Menu, then to the full list of conferences - you'll find it there, dripping with saliva.

~wolf Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (18:01) #352

and good luck catching up!

~riette Sat, Sep 4, 1999 (00:53) #353

ha-ha! Yeah!! There'll be alot of THAT to do!

~Isabel Sat, Sep 4, 1999 (19:49) #354

I've got enough to do catching up with the four or five topics I'm in now...allways forget what I wrote.

~Isabel Sat, Sep 4, 1999 (19:56) #355

...mmh, looks boring and somehow cryptic...

~MarciaH Sun, Sep 5, 1999 (00:49) #356

Stacey, why are you not posting your picture? (sent it to email at work...sorry!)

~riette Sun, Sep 5, 1999 (01:47) #357

And what about you, Isabel?? Do we get to see what our newcomer looks like?

~wolf Sun, Sep 5, 1999 (19:07) #358

email it to me and i'll be glad to post it! (along with all your mish mosh goodies!!)

~Isabel Mon, Sep 6, 1999 (08:54) #359

If I ever get a photo of me where I don't look like a complete moron, you'll be the first to see it! I hate being photographed and I think there are no pictures existing from me - smashed all the cameras! By the way, where's Yours, Wolfie?

~mrchips Mon, Sep 6, 1999 (09:00) #360

She's been asked that before...posted a picture of canis lupus

~Isabel Mon, Sep 6, 1999 (09:10) #361

Hey, than I could send a picture of my cat instead! *LOL*

~mrchips Mon, Sep 6, 1999 (09:23) #362

You're quite the kidder....just like Wolf. If Marcia didn't know me, I would have sent a picture of Ricardo Montalban (from the 1950s). That would have started some drool...

~MarciaH Mon, Sep 6, 1999 (10:47) #363

...and Marcia was silly enough to post her own...like shooting oneself in the foot, huh! I wish I had though to post someone lie Raquel in the '50's!

~wolf Mon, Sep 6, 1999 (10:58) #364

isabel, i hate my pictures too. am waiting for a good hair day, you know?

~mrchips Mon, Sep 6, 1999 (23:20) #365

Good hair day??? I'm having a bad hair life! Why is it that my hair is the only part of my anatomy that IS thin???!!!

~MarciaH Mon, Sep 6, 1999 (23:51) #366

John, it is in your genes (being very careful about how I am spelling that word.) And, that is MY line about bad hair life, but I'll happilly share it with you...I did not know your hair was thinning, but after Frank, anything looks hairy!

~mrchips Tue, Sep 7, 1999 (00:13) #367

I developed that line "bad hair life." independently and have been using it for years...as maybe you have as well. It's a natural... Remember having used it first on KPOI in 1986.

~MarciaH Tue, Sep 7, 1999 (00:37) #368

I can't believe you are that old. Had you your full set of adult teeth when you worked at KPOI?! (re that line: I have heard it just about "forever")

~wolf Tue, Sep 7, 1999 (20:58) #369

well, you know how canine species can be, no one brushes us and we get mats, not to mention loads of itchy spots! i think the correct term for my particular problem is "bad face life"!!

~MarciaH Tue, Sep 7, 1999 (21:05) #370

...had that, too. Not solely a wolf's problem, I think! Humans usually grow out of it, however... Mine, on the other hand, was inherited from a father and grandfather with weird senses of humor!

~mrchips Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (03:07) #371

I worked for a very short time as a TV news anchor. I was fired after a station consultant told the news director I had "a face made for radio."

~riette Thu, Sep 23, 1999 (04:10) #372

ha-ha!!! You're just fooling around again!

~aschuth Sun, Sep 26, 1999 (15:01) #373

Hehe, that WAS a cool line. Those jerks are basically paid for coming up with these cool lines, and then to show them off, they gotta do something. The successful ones of these clowns stay in business consulting, the others dabble at being stand-up comedians...

~riette Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (02:51) #374

You mean put-down comedians.... Same thing with art dealers.

~aschuth Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (13:20) #375

If they don't sell, they go to the circus? (I read about that guy - incredible! And sorry about it, too.)

~riette Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (01:18) #376

Yeah, well, that's why I want a degree - a BIG degree. So I can go back to painting for a hobby instead of being in the clowns-banging-each-other-over-the-head-with-bad-paintings circus act. Got myself a nice commission this weekend though - I get to paint my fat lady on a crocodile for a Scottish Anthropologist!! ha-ha! And I'll laugh even more when he pays me, 'cos it's going to be big, and he offered me 5 and a half for it. HEE-HAW!

~mrchips Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (01:58) #377

Sounds like you don't need a degree. Just take the "Monet" and run!

~mrchips Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (02:01) #378

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, consult!

~riette Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (03:38) #379

ha-ha! It's true though! One of my lecturers at summer school this year told me that those lecturers who can't teach are promoted. And the really competent guys, that is, the ones who are prepared to WORK for their money, are kept where they are. I think that's sick.

~terry Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (09:51) #380

I got a call from an old friend of mine, John Long, and he's starting up something called onlineartgallery.com. Good name. He's heavily involved with the NY art scene and movie biz. He said, among other things, that he's det in touch with Suzy Amis, who he knows, about our http://www.suzyamis.com site. John and I took t'ai chi classes when I lived in San Fransciso from Master Choy, who arguably has the best t'ai chi form in the world.

~riette Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (13:07) #381

cool!

~mrchips Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (13:13) #382

That is cool. I love to go to Kalakaua Park in downtown Hilo in the late afternoons and watch the old men do t'ai chi. I've been considering getting the David Carradine video, since I would like to do t'ai chi, but don't want to make any more of a public ass of myself than I do here in Spring. BTW, We have a Master Choy in Hawaii, too. His name is Sam Choy. He is Hawaii's best known chef, and my hero.

~MarciaH Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (16:43) #383

John, do NOT try to emulate Sam Choy...no matter how heroic your worship. I think there are two John Burnetts inside of Sam Choy. I worry about him!

~riette Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (12:59) #384

T'ai chi? With which tie? Stupid joke, Ri�tte, sit.

~terry Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (13:40) #385

Can I tai your chi?

~stacey Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (13:41) #386

ugh

~riette Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (16:05) #387

ha-ha!!! Sure, Terry-guy! That is, if you can find such a thing on this physiognomy...

~aschuth Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (14:57) #388

It is that that underlais your physiognomy. Terry probably can do what he said, if he's a regular practitioner: increase your chi.

~riette Sat, Oct 2, 1999 (02:08) #389

As long as he can do it without tai-ing me down.

~mrchips Sun, Oct 3, 1999 (16:02) #390

Thank you, Marcia (and don't tell the FBI). Escaped from the Manson family and on the loose, here is John Burnett, circa 1981.

~MarciaH Sun, Oct 3, 1999 (16:13) #391

Looks like they lined you up against the proverbial wall and shot you! But look at those eyes...You were not concerned too much...I gather this was not for the USN ID purposes?!

~terry Sun, Oct 3, 1999 (16:36) #392

He looks like a lot of guys in Austin! He would fit in great around these parts.

~MarciaH Sun, Oct 3, 1999 (16:56) #393

I thought it was far too hot to be so incumbered...but thinking of another person who is not quite that shaggy...I guess that is not a problem! Ok Terry, when are you going back to long hair?! (Or have you and we have not see the pictures yet?)

~terry Sun, Oct 3, 1999 (17:13) #394

I may not be going back to long hair, short hair is just too easy to get along with! Low maintenance!

~autumn Sun, Oct 3, 1999 (17:30) #395

John, is that picture from a line-up? LOL!

~MarciaH Sun, Oct 3, 1999 (17:40) #396

It almost looks like one of those desperados which the posse shot then propped up against a wall and took his picture for posterity. John? Are you not commenting our our compliments? Terry, I agree about the maintenance of long hair - way too time-consuming!

~mrchips Sun, Oct 3, 1999 (19:28) #397

My beard is now gray and I don't have enough hair on top to make long hair worth it. Besides, I now look friendly enough that people stop me on the street to ask directions. When I looked like that, people would see me coming and jaywalk to the other side of the street to avoid me. Must be that Manson Family thing...

~MarciaH Sun, Oct 3, 1999 (19:42) #398

(He's cute and you just want to hug him, actually!)

~riette Mon, Oct 4, 1999 (09:07) #399

I think he's got incredible eyes.

~MarciaH Mon, Oct 4, 1999 (16:45) #400

UmmmHmmm! I've looked into those baby blues in person. I will vouch for their worthiness any time! Sorta bed-roomy at times...*smile*
