I can see the picture in question just fine

aren’t computers fun???? /s

[jaycee]

Yes, Dolly, when I went back to check it, it was there and I told Billie! That disappearance thing happens to me occasionally on someone’s graphic and I can generally get it back. I can’t explain why....LOL, only it does! There is not a whole lot I can explain why computers do what they do!

I gotta get back up on the ladder and clean the other ceiling fan in this room. One yesterday, one today! YES, I will be careful. The kids ‘don’t like’ me climbing but as I told someone yesterday I ‘don’t like’ always waiting on someone!

[DollyCali]

hello dear friend. I am about ready for another trip to visit with you. maybe in april if we can jive our schedules

Maybe we could even do a trip/ovrenight to Fremont to the Rutherford B Hayes home/museum. It is quite special!(and I am a member so FREE)

PTL that giz is doing well & Susie is thriving.. Life would surely be empty without our furry friends to complicate our lives & add love & joy in the process.

Thanks! I really like this thread!

I live near DC and there are lots of them around here. They are like locust.

I am waiting for the cherry blossoms. This is a beautiful time here and so is the fall when leaves change.

Hi, jaycee. I replied to your facebook mail and also added you as a friend. (You will have to approve my add.) I use facebook everyday to keep in touch with friends and family who are not necessarily freepers and some who are. The two websites I have open on my computer all day, every day are facebook and FR. :-)

72 degrees sounds just about perfect! We will soon be getting those temperatures here too. I can't wait.

Thanks for the compliments on my graphic. I threw that together this morning when I realized it was "daisy day" at Amy's Place. ;-)

Have a good day, jaycee.

They are saying Vick could be out as soon as May 21, perhaps stay in a halfway house. Grrrrr . . . I love animals and the word “barbaric” comes to mind whenever I hear his name.

Okay, I took the url (http://i41.tinypic.com/243kayb.png) of the .png image and put it in my browser alone, and it OPENED WITH QUICKTIME - AS A MOVIE?! Was it an animation? Cute little girls, but my Spybot Search and Destroy tells me that Quicktime is a "virus, spyware, malware or other resource hog", and every time I have a glitch or my pc hangs or something, it's usually because Quicktime has managed to sneak back on my pc! I just now had to go delete it from my startup again!

what a precious opening today Billie... I am redoing a laundry room in soft yellow with a dish of daisies!! Have a great day!

Hi, Polly - I've had a time getting back to my early pings but wanted to thank you - I'm glad you liked the opening today. Your laundry room sounds pretty and cheery - soft yellow is nice. I once painted a small bathroom yellow when we were first married - never painted a room in my life, and had no idea the tiny paint sample in a pretty yellow would scream at me when I put it on 4 walls! YIKES! It was bright! I learned the hard way that what you see in that little bitty sample isn't necessarily what you see when you get it home on the walls!

[Billie]

Thank you, Meg - I'm glad you liked the song, the daisies, the butterfly, and that sweet couple. The song is so sweet and the melody is so simple, but it's stayed in my head all day, as well as when I downloaded it a few days ago.

Afraid our warm spring days are over today for awhile, too. Hopefully, no snow though, like your pretty crocus. :)

[ConorMacNessa]

He goes well beyond barbaric - he is depraved and beneath contempt.

[Billie]

Hi, Yorkie! Thank you! And I’m enjoying seeing all the additional daisies you’re all posting! (A very pretty hello in your post!) :) Looks like Amy, Lori, and I sort of declared this Daisy Week, starting with yesterday, even though quite unintentionally. LOL!

[Billie]

Oh, thank you, jaycee. I’m glad you liked today’s Daisy opening! Your daisy is very pretty, and especially the quote!

[Jane Austen]

Absolutely! Yet there were people defending him.

[Billie]

Sweet little poem about a sweet little daisy, yorkie!

Ms Billie.... Have you noticed that animated gifs with a very short frame display time won’t run as fast as they should in IE but they will in FireFox?

Hi, there, fewz. I don't use FireFox, so didn't know that. I "have" used FireFox before, but just really prefer IE. Wish all browsers worked the same though - or at least previewed specific html commands the same way. Some things we set up to view perfectly in IE look ugly in FireFox, and I imagine vice versa. :(

[Billie]

Good morning, Billie. This is wonderful, but .... I did need a tissue. Thank you for today’s thread and for all the beautiful and cute graphics that you do for us. I will be gone most of the day; we have an appt with attorney today. Since we will be in Fresno, we plan to run several errands. Have a Terrific Tuesday.

Hi, Amy - am sorry I'm just now getting to your post from this morning and see that you're gone all day. Thank you so much. I'm glad you like today's opening. Your "Bro" mentioned he had been enjoying all the music last week and told me about a song he had always liked - named "A Daisy A Day". Naturally I went to find it and when I found it, there was my inspiration for today's opening. :)

[yorkie]

Well, that is just a small part of the story. It can be read in it’s entirety, here:

Morning Billie, You posted the words to one of my most favorite songs. Thanks a bunch.

Hi, Sundog - good to see you today. Glad it's one of your most favorite songs - I think the words are special, and a very sweet story of longlasting love.

[Jane Austen]

Lovely pictures, lovely thoughts. Poems be so relaxing. Same with beautiful pictures of nature and animals. I recently read parts of Camille Paglia’s book on what she considered the best poems ever written. I’m afraid my list would have been different. She did have interesting interpretations of them.
