<--Listen children all is not lost, all is not lost...

<--used ot have a SO who threatened his advisor over dissertation issues
<--says the advisor decided to agree with SO to avoid having head shoved in swirling toilet water
<--thinks Lorie can take a more mature approach
<--recommends the tinfoil hat to start
 
<--may have to try liann's approach first
<--if it does not work, may have to try head-in-toilet approach
<--is hoping this will all be cleared up now and advisor will be happy with <--'s study even if <--isn't thrilled
 
<--Just got back from working at Ollie's kindergarten
<--had a BLAST
<--found her new calling in life
<--master laminator
<--Putting laminating machine on Christmas List
<--Loves Liann's penguin moviette. How'd you do that??
<--Is sorry for Lorie's dissertation woes
<--Thinks lorie's advisor is not good at "advising" and needs to be hexed
<--'s mom brought <--homemade chicken and dumplings for lunch
<--ate some and now feels tadbit guilty so will workout extra hard tonight. B&G legs premix here I come!!!
<--Wishes you all a good afternoon!
 
<---tells Stephanie that she got the clip from: http://bestsmileys.com/pageindex.htm
<---says when you find a smiley or cartoon you life from the index, you just copy the URL Address to the left of the picture and paste it in your post
<---adds that you have to remove the <IMG> tags before and after the address before posting or you will get a box with an x in front of your pictures
 
<--Thanks Liann for telling <--how to get cool graphics
<--Didn't understand a word of Liann's post, however :)
<--Loooooowww tech
<--Can type quickly -- but that's as far as computer savvyness goes
 
<---Lol, says no problem will talk less high tech
<---says first click on the link that <--- gave you above. It should pull up a website with a bunch of categories "Animals, Funny, Smiles, etc...."

Place your cursor over one of the categories and do a left click on your mouse to select that category (am I getting too easy?), you should now see a bunch of cartoons/smilies on the right hand side of your page and on the left hand side will be URL's (the address that leads to those pictures)

They will look something like this <img>http://www.smiliesanimals1.com</img> That is only an example.

To get a particular picture that you like in your post, highlight that entire address and do a RIGHT click on your mouse (with the cursor hovering over the highlighted address. A drop down menu will pop up and you want to choose "copy" from that drop down menu.

Now you can go back to Cathe's website and start your post. When you get to where you want the smiley, do a right click again with your mouse. This time when the drop down box appears, choose paste. You now have something that looks like this in your post: <img>http://www.smiliesanimals1.com</img> . Go ahead and delete the <img> from the front of the address and the </img> from the back of the address. You are now ready to Post your message or preview it. The smiley should show up in the final message.
 
<---is almost done!!!!
<---has put the Bacofoil on the lasgna, so it won't be taken over by aliens
<---still has to assemble the cake
<---made a Buckeye Cake - chocolate brownie-like cake with peanut butter layer on top, frosted with chocolate ganache and drizzled with melted peanut butter chocolate chips
<---thanks Liann for the super simple instructions for posting stuff
<---tells Stephanie <--'m very techno-challenged also
<---which reminds me: We had a postive stain form tuberculosis at work the other day. We were trying to come up with politically correct descriptions of the patient, a homeless carny type fellow. We decided he was shelterally challenged.
<---is going to see what else is going on in Catheland while dinner cooks
<---later lovelies


<---forgot to send a hug and a machete for Lorie
<---thought if Lorie waved the machete around threateningly, her dissertation might get accepted
 
<--Just tried to post, but <--'s computer did weird things, so if <--double posts this, <--apologizes
<--Low-tech, remember
<--Would LOVE a piece of Robin's Buckeye Cake
<--Loves ganache
<--makes a homemade chocolate burbon cake at Christmas with dark chocolate ganache icing and <--saves leftover ganache to heat up and pour atop vanilla ice cream. YUM!
<--'s mom also brought her a HOMEMADE POUND CAKE today "for the boys"... As if...
<--Wonders why <--'s mom doesn't take <--'s attempt to eat healthy seriously. Ugh!
<--Realizes <-- would have it no other way, though!
<--Thanks Liann for remedial explanation that <-- couild understand :)

<--wonders, if that worked, or if ^^^ is just a bunch of text
 
<---thinks the cake looks pretty darn good
<---will have to wait until tomorrow night to find out
<---time to take the Bacofoil off the lasagna and let it fend for itself
 
<---says "By George, I think she's got it"
<---wonders if you took the <IMG> text off the front and back of the address since she sees that little box in front of the smiley?
<---says it's no biggie either way cuz' we can still see the smiley!!! :)
 
<--- pops in for a quick hello
<--- promises she isn't ignoring youse, but she must curb her computer habit if she wants her elbow to heal
<--- cannot believe all the hassle Lorie is getting over her dissertation
<--- would be angry beyond words in that situation
<--- is working on a concoction for Lori's advisor
http://www.funfilesandsmiles.com/smilies/HalloweenWitch.gif

<--- is on her way to Robin's for lasagna and CAKE!!!
<--- 's mouth is watering for a BIG piece of cake
<--- will be alone for dinner tonight and can't decide what to ma...er...get
<--- is definitely going for take out
<--- 's DH is out of town until tomorrow evening :-(
<--- is going to relax with a book after dinner and call it a day
<--- apologizes for skipping personals but, you know, it's the elbowx(
<--- waves g'night and will see y'all tomorrow:*
 
<---cannot STOP singing Michele's song
<---I've got my tinfoil hat on, hip, hip, hip hooray!
<---thinks Lorie should use it to start the thread tomorrow
 
<--does not have to be to work early tomorrow so, will hopefully, NOT be starting the thread
<--makes an edict that whoever starts tomorrow MUST start with that song (<--I've got my tinfoil hat on, hip, hip, hooray...)
 
<-- just snorted soy latte thru <--'s nose in the law library computer lab at that penguin, so you know...
<-- has had an okay day
<-- hopes the prof didn't get too offended when <-- fell asleep in the first row
<-- remembers being a perfectionist
<-- doesn't know what happened
<-- is going to do compound weights tomorrow
<-- should be waaay more specific but <-- has no motivation at this point...
<-- wonders if Lorie has told her advisor any of this?
<-- thinks some professors have a heart and if they knew what you were concerned about they might bust their chops to help you out
<-- does think on second thought that maybe they are all heartless and cruel and don't care one bit
<-- prefers the first option :)
