I'm with Stan 100% on this one (for what it's worth:)

Some of my most favorite people are JW, and I would bet my life that at least a few would do the right thing.

it worked fine.. this morning i scan something else and follow exactly the same procedure and all i get is the red x. is anyone else having trouble with fotopic, or is it me?

That's a good idea, but I think it would be nice to cross-post to lambsroar too, it would be a bit mean just to use his image upload facility and not contribute to the site too. Likewise I have also posted images here that I've originally attached on my posts in Kent's forum.

Matty, it's ok to use this. There's no advertising, no words splattered across your image or anything like that. A credit would be nice if anyone thinks of it. The Photo deal over there will change in the future, I have alot of work to do on it (like set up the thumbnail script, etc), but it will always work basically the same. I'm going to place a nice copy and paste thing there so you won't have to right click on the images for the URL. Posting is nice too, but I'm not going to require a post for a pic, haha.....not a bad idea though!

Thanks for watching by back, it's very much appreciated!

'Fessing up out in the open to our worrisome habits, feelings, ruts, etc. is a bit scary. Of course, if we started "hanging out our laundry" like that, it probably would bring in the crowds to see who has what problem, lol. Watch those site statistics go up up up!

haha, I know what you mean. We've actually gotten a taker this morning, which is good news, someone else had to take the plunge!

Dr Franklin Online Question and Answer Forum - NEW!

"You Yourself Said It." (Grits paraphrasing Jesus' words)

Ya, I'm a bit 'long winded' sometimes. I start out not having a clue what to say, the next thing I know, I've gone and said waaaay too much!

So, do we simply post our Q's as a "New Topic" in that particular forum? In other words, each person's Q would be a separate new topic?

exactly, you can see how it was done there now that someone posted.

I agree 100% and it will give me the motivation to try chat for the first time. Actually, smaller crowds are more to my comfort-zone anyway.

right. I think what we'll do is set something up for next week or so. Give it some time for people to make plans, and I'll send out a global newsletter.

Again, agree. No reason to limit the scope. With such a willing volunteer, we can pick his brains to pieces, lol. So everyone, come on over!

ya right? Do you think he has ANY clue what he's gotten himself into here? LOL!

I think I might start him off on Simon and Dungbeetle and TH, HAHAHA. kidding.....
Only you could get away with that, lol!
Don't forget Amazing ...and.... Bill... and... and... and...

haha, that's because no-one pays any attention to me. Yeah, we'll have to get a whole group therapy thing going, we all need it! I just noticed the Dr is Widowed, he's never mentioned that to me.
