Hi, Ms.Mittens!

Yes, thank you, doing pretty good.

Hope you're feeling fine and dandy. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

how about "showing off" a little her for us??? pretty please?

Thanks, DoLly, but I'm not very good at doing tables. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Hi, (((((Colleen))))))

Good to see you. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Good idea, I was thinking perhaps you might continue the thread. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

He's sooooo cute! Nice table. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

But what if I had to discipline you - wolfie might show his teeth and snarl. :)

Wolfie will be too mesmerized by your beauty to do that. : )

Hi again sistah. I just love the elegant table that I did giz and rusty's picture in. Got smart and saved it in My Documents. So glad you're continuing the thread tomorrow. I'm going to try to find some new backgrounds (always used to look under images rather that the other...no wonder I came up empty!)

I'm glad you like that 'framework' for the pics. It's just stacking table backgrounds the same way we stack them for our opening posts. :) (Yes, Google WEB will give you lots of websites with backgrounds to choose from. :)

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

Quick question though. I read you told Dolli she can view her work right out of notebook. How???? I always go to Free Republic which can be time consuming AND risky LOL! And how long have I been doing this so perhaps others besides me could benefit from a "step by step". Thanks!

Instructions: It's actually *notepad*, which is the simplest way to type your html text and save it as an html page.

You would type it just as you do in the FR comment posts or the FR posting form, by opening a "New Text Document" in "My Documents" (Windows XP has different ways of setting up your directories and files, so I'm not certain how everyone finds "Notepad" or even "My Documents".)

But in Notepad, when you open a New Text Document, type everything there, just as you would type in your comment post, and then go up to "File" (again, in Windows XP, I don't know the method), click on "Save as", give it a name that you want to call it, and change the .txt extension to .htm!!!

Don't close the document that you're typing in though. You will have another file with the name you gave it - it will be a 'web page'. Open it to see what you've got so far (same as in previewing at FR). Now you have two files open - one you can edit, and one you can view to see your changes. You just keep "saving" the one you're typing as the .htm extension, and you go to that page, refresh it to see the changes.

When you're finished with it, go back to the one you're typing, and back up to file/save as, and change the .htm extension back to .txt. You still have the .htm file/page, but you also have it - same name - as a text file you can edit.

[ST.LOUIE1]

I dunno....he didn't post a table - YOU did! That means YOU paid attention. LOL

Humph! : (

Well, Dave, you wormed your way into tossin' Louie from being teachers pet. : (

[ST.LOUIE1]

COOOOOOL!

[ST.LOUIE1]

I'm leaving for awhile, might be back after the All Star game. : )

No, Louie's back after his post #107~ LOL!

French Fries!

I used to make the French Fries,
At the restaurant down the street.
They are not made that way today.
Too bad, ‘cause it was neat!

We hauled the spuds up from the dark,
And coolness underground,
And then we peeled them in a wink,
With a machine that spun around.

The next step was to slice them up.
We did it all by hand.
With leverage, and criss-cross blades,
Just like somebody planned.

And then we had to rinse them,
To get the starch to rout!
Then off to heated cookvats,
To drive the moisture out.

We took a break then, Spuds and I,
To wait upon the crowd,
So when the hunger stirred itself,
No waiting was allowed!

We cooked the fries up quick as toast,
And sprinkled them with salt.
Nobody claimed their failing health,
Was someone else’s fault!

They just chowed down on French Fries,
And then came back for more!
Because we gave them quality,
That was worth paying for!

Our French Fries were delicious,
I firmly can attest.
I tasted every batch we made,
(But I made them the best!)

Have to check out for a while - somebody wants dinner around here. :)

[Billie]

I think we're going to have French Fries for dinner. :)

Hi, Bob! Thanks for the cute poem!

what a fun thread this had been today & glad it will continue into tomorrow. I am brain dead to even read you instructions now Billie. but will save & hopefully FIND when I need them.

Thank you everyone for mom's birthday greetings. You have all been very sweet & creative. Wish I had a way to show here these.. Printing is I guess the only way but then she can scrutinize ALL my posts.. guess even at an "advanced" age I still don't want mama checking up on me.

Might try with my lap top when it is repaired..

very tired & very sore back.. will probably retire early (my cat Cali is now assisting me with this post).

Thunderboomers outdoors. (and Oliver is safe under my chair) we again need the rain. I hauled hoses all over yard today but looking at radar it is a crap shoot if we will get anything.

Hope all you dear Finest folks have a good evening & God's rest..

I may be back later but right now need a soak for my back & some sleep..

Holidays that involve food are always good. :-)

[tuliptree76]

I'm getting hungry for french fries too, but I don't have any here. I don't even have potatoes to make them.

How is this Billie?
