Bob, the best way I have found is to start an account at photobucket and then use the image link from there - I can walk you through that process if you need. I have read that we are supposedly able to upload to the forum, but have never been able to (maybe Brian doesn't want to pay to store our pictures, and I don't blame him.

http://www.photobucket.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

also, FYI (I just found out by trying) you are limited to 640 x 640 pixel images. That's a forum limitation, not photobucket, lol.

Or you can try imageshack.us. ImageShack can be very fast. e.g. Let's say you find an image online. If it's too big (wider than 640p) to paste between the (IMG)link here(/IMG) (brackets instead of parentheses, of course), go to imageshack.us, choose url instead of file, paste url in, image resize for message boards, upload now, copy direct link. You need to register to have ability to copy direct link from that page, or you can just copy the regular link, open it in new tab, right click image and say copy image url or location. Paste that url between the IMG tags. Voilà!

It's a piece of cake Bob - follow these instructions and you'll be in posting picture heaven...

Find any image on the internet, right click on it and select 'properties', highlight the entire URL (web address) of the 'address location' line, right click it and select 'copy', then go to post a comment like you usually do in the forum here, right click and select 'paste'. Once the URL (web address) populates, all you have to do is add [img] at the beginning of the URL and then [/img] at the end and the site here should display the picture. Be aware though that you can only post pics with dimensions that do not exceed 640 X 640 in dimension, but when you go to highlight the URL of an image in the properties box, the dimensions will display at the bottom so you can see how big it is. Try it.

bob, the second "[img]" must have a bracket before the img, like so: [ /img ] with no spaces of course.

Does anyone know how to cancel a bid on E-Bay?

Looking for a gift for one of my grand kids, I put in a $7 bid for a "Mickey Mouse Outfit", and now it seems I'm only nineteen minutes away from owning Obama, his entire Cabinet, and both houses of Congress-----

Nope, it's Marks aunt who also happens to be his brother, step sister and cousin. His family tree basically resembles a flag pole. Typical for Utah County families, or is that family?? Go Cougars!! (and we all know what a cougar is... If you don't know PM Fiannan. He's the resident expert in that "arenatm")

JOKES THAT CAN BE TOLD INCHURCH*********
Two boys were walking home from Sunday school
after hearing a strong lesson on the devil.
One said to the other, 'What do you think about
all this Satan stuff?'
The other boy replied, 'Well, you know how
Santa Claus turned out.
It's probably just your Dad.'


~~~~~~~~~~~~

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl
whispered to her mother,
'Why is the bride dressed in white?''
The mother replied, 'Because white is the color
of happiness,
and today is the happiest day of her life.'
The child thought about this for a moment then said,
'So why is the groom wearing black?'
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running
as fast as she could,
trying not to be late for early morning seminary.
As she ran she prayed,
'Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord,
please don't let me be late!'
While she was running and praying, she tripped
on a curb and fell,
getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress.
She got up, brushed herself off, and started running
again!
As she ran she once again began to pray,
'Dear Lord, please don't let me be late...But please
don't shove me AGAIN either!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~
SELLING RELIGION--

Three boys are in the school yard bragging about
their fathers.
The first boy says, 'My Dad scribbles a few words
on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem,
they give him $50.'
The second boy says, 'That's nothing. My Dad
scribbles a few words on piece of paper,
he calls it a song, they give him $100.'
The third boy says, 'I got you both beat. My Dad
scribbles a few words on a piece of paper,
he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people to
collect all the money!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~

An elderly woman died last month.
Having never married, she requested no male
pallbearers.
In her handwritten instructions for her memorial
service, she wrote,
'They wouldn't take me out while I was alive,
I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A police recruit was asked during the exam,
'What would you do if you had to arrest your own
mother?'
He answered, 'Call for backup.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Sunday School teacher asked her class why
Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem..
A small child replied, 'They couldn't get a baby-sitter.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the
Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.
After explaining the commandment to 'Honor thy
father and thy mother,' she asked,
'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to
treat our brothers and sisters?'
Without missing a beat, one little boy answered,
"Thou shall not kill.."
~~~~~~~~~~~~

At Sunday School they were teaching how God
created everything, including human beings.
Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they
told him
how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.
Later in the week his mother noticed him lying
down as though he were ill,
and she said, 'Johnny, what is the matter?' Little
Johnny responded,
'I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have
a wife.'

A few days ago, we were teasing my 17 year old son if we could expect any grandkids in the next 6 years. He said "It's conceivable." We all laughed and he groaned when he realized what he had said. :D

Cajun Baptist
Reverend Boudreauxwas the part-time pastor of the local Cajun Baptist Church, and Pastor Thibodaux was the minister of the Covenant Church across the road. They were both standing by the road, pounding a sign into the ground that read:

Da End is Near
Turn Yo Sef 'Roun Now
Afore It Be Too Late!

As a car sped past them, the driver leaned out his window and yelled, "You religious nuts!"

From the curve they heard screeching tires, and a big splash...

Boudreaux turns to Thib and asks, "Do ya tink maybe da sign should jussay.........Bridge Out?"
