Howard is first, lol! Again. Imagine that!

Jo_in_Vermont said...

LOL! good girl! keepin' it real.

whitznd said...

YEAH! Howies always the first! I'll see if my profile pix shows up this time. Otherwise, I don't know what else to do.

whitznd said...

Dang, it's still not there.

whitznd said...

Dang, it's still not there.

whitznd said...

hmm, double post even.

whitznd said...

Well, anyway, I found you guys and I can keep coming back here. But right now, I have to go to lunch so I can come back and get some work done today.

Jo_in_Vermont said...

lol! double post - not even a day old and it's acting like the Dean blog already!

puddle said...

Barb or you can delete the extra post. She and you should see a tiny trash can next to the post (we see our own); you see 'em all.

Click the trashcan, and it takes you to the delete page.

puddle said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
puddle said...

But then again, maybe you shouldn't. Someone might think you'd deleted something because you didn't like it.

BTW, if you click "delete forever (cannot be undone)" it doesn't show up in the comment stream as deleted. It's just *gone.*

Oops -- don't see that option here. [just added an "r" to forever. . . . ]

Jo_in_Vermont said...

yay! I posted then deleted forever and it's gone. ;)

puddle said...

Must be an "owners" option, and not a "posters" option. Live. Learn.

puddle said...

You can prolly delete the "deleted by author" posts the same way.

But I wouldn't worry about it, too much.

Wait till the spammers show up.

(Oh. Blogger is working at detecting spammers -- on the interface, comments--> check the spam folder.)

whitznd said...

Looks like when you leave the page or have to reboot your machine as I did, when you come back to the blog, the little trash can is not there on your posts. I'll remember for the future.

whitznd said...

Ah yes, there the little guys are. I thought I was signed in, but apparently not. Now that I'm signed in, I can see all the little trashcans on my posts. However, still no picture. :o(

whitznd said...

And I don't see any "Blog" option on my google page. Need direction like a little kid, I guess.

Would be handy not to have to pick up mouse (or in my case, pen) to scroll the last 1/2 inch to get to the publish button.

Equal opportunity blogging (at least it'll last more than ten minutes here, lol!)

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking... for valuables when a voice in the dark said, 'Jesus knows you're here.'

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. When he heard nothing more, he shook his head and continued.

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard 'Jesus is watching you.'

Startled, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot.

'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot.

'Yes', the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he's watching you.'

The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'

'Moses,' replied the bird.

'Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?'

'The kind of people who would name a Rottweiler Jesus.'

puddle said...

My profile is on my blog page, but if you don't *have* a blog, just click your own name to get to your profile. Bet you have an option there of putting a picture in. . . .

whitznd said...

Did that, put in a picture of Rosie the Riveter with a Dean bat. thought it would be appropriate here.

whitznd said...

On my Google Profile Page, right?

Jo_in_Vermont said...

going to my son's for dinner - see you all in a while!

Jo_in_Vermont said...

Barb when I added my pic it didn't show up until I closed the blog window and popped back in - and there it was!

puddle said...

Barb, on your "blogger" profile page:

whitznd said...

Thanks Jo. I'm afraid I'm going to have to sign out of google as I have completely shut down and restarted my 'puker and it still hasn't shown up.

When I get home, I'll have to sign into Google from there and i'll see if that works.

whitznd said...

Thanks Puddle. The first time, I added my picture to my Google account.

I followed your link, added my picture, closed out both windows. still didn't work so now, i'm going to try shutting down the browser completely and see if that works.

whitznd said...

Ok!!! There it is!! Finally!

Thanks you guys for helping me thru this.

puddle said...

Yay!

Lord, I remember early days when I couldn't find *anything* without MainFem and JC, lol!

puddle said...

Oops, lol!

MAINEFEM

Neecy said...

Aha there you all are :)

Hello to friends old and new!

Denise in San Mateo County

puddle said...

Well, it is *possible* to do this, but boy, it's a PITA, lol!

Wheat is an opiate

puddle said...

Hey, Denise! Welcome to the Deaniacs' new home!

puddle said...

baby

puddle said...

baby

Jo_in_Vermont said...

hi Denise - Neecy! welcome to the new home!

had a wonderful dinner at my son's - he and his wife are such good cooks. she's at work tonight so he had his regular workday, fed his 3 boys and I and was getting them into the bath then bed when I left. I am sooo glad that my kids are grown up - I just wouldn't have the energy for it!

Jo_in_Vermont said...

whitznd said...

Neecy! I love it! Welcome! I'm going home now. Have to get all the meat prepared for tomorrow night. It's our nominating convention and we are expecting over 100 folks. Hopefully most of them will eat!

puddle said...

Okay: to make a live link in the *comment* section:

(I'm breaking this apart so you can SEE it)
POST

href=http://eatapyzch.blogspot.com/>baby
(close up the last four characters and

PUT a
baby

when it actually posts. JC would be *proud* of me. . . .

Jo_in_Vermont said...

Barb you deserve a Howardly! I wish I could post the graphic here but I'll try to post it for you on the old blog.

puddle said...

Okay, try again:

Post:

href=http://eatapyzch.blogspot.com/>baby

and put a < a (closed) in front and a < / a > (closed) after. . . .

puddle said...

Now I'm a nony mouse?

puddle said...

And Jo, is RIGHT! It's a GREAT book! It's been on my bedside table for six years, lol! (That way I always know where it is.)

Jo_in_Vermont said...

thanks for the hot link!

Neecy said...

I can't use my google account right now cuz it's tied to work and if I make another one it messes up the one at work. So no picture but I think you all know what I look like :)

I can't even sign into my blogger account that I used when I posted at HEP.

Oh well, no biggie

puddle said...

Well, lol! as far as live links go, I think it's about as easy to copy and paste as to do the HTML. Easier, in fact, so. . . . No more.

But it was fun proving that it could be done. . . .

puddle said...

Just had a nap. Wasn't *intended* to be a nap, but the periformis pain woke me and I came down for a couple of naprosyn.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to Jo, again, for starting this.

Jo_in_Vermont said...

I had a short sleep too. have muscle cramps in my legs so am trying to shake them off - with the help of my ibuprofen. we're quite a pair, huh?!! I'll go start a new thread for the morning. ;)

Jo_in_Vermont said...

And you're very welcome puddle - my pleasure! sweet dreams!
