Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I wrote a long post ā¦ my first in over 24 hoursā¦. right behind yours ā¦ trying to catch you as you sped away.
But my browser shut down unexpectedlyā¦. a Firefox crash!All my windows closed, and my post was lost!
So now my pleas for you to stop by the Tiki for one last āparting ceremonyā fall on far-away earsā¦but happy trails, my friend.Far better to miss someone going off to known adventures than worry about someone who disappeared without a traceā¦Thank you for thatā¦and donāt forget us.
Glad everybody liked the ribs Wednesday nightā¦it was the Monkeyās secret barbecue rub, and his smokerā¦ and my sauce, for those who ate āem saucedā¦.
He gets the best yak meat straight from Turdmunkestan.And his rub is greatā¦Hey!His barbecue rub.Sheesh!
Aaaahhhhā¦Thanks Redā¦.oneāll do meā¦. but would you like one too?
Okā¦. mulling over the dayā¦. I read yesterdayās forum, even though I didnāt get a chance to postā¦.
(Between crazy phone calls, I had something else to write, and it took a lot of thought and concentration.Sometimes Ballard Street does too!)
Anyhow, I read about Stelās Bing problem, and I wanted to get in my 2Ā¢.
Stel, when you get hereā¦.you (and maybe X, too) have said you right click the picture and save the URL from that menu.(Copy image location in Firefox, copy shortcut in IE, I believe.)
Have you tried what I do, which is actually opening the picture, and saving the URL from the address bar?
I do it that way so I can see what Iām gettingā¦ but it seems to me the page wouldnāt open without a valid address.
Firefox makes it easierā¦ that same right-click menu includes āview image,ā which opens the image alone on a page.
In IE, so probably MSN too, you have to click the link on the right that says something like āview full-size imageā.
Yeah, yeah, itās an extra stepā¦ but a quick one.And if it works, well worth it.
And of course, my preferred solution isā¦use Google images, not Bing!
Itās so much easierā¦the images donāt run away wen you try to click themā¦and I find the same ones on both.
Trying to use Bing images on Internet Explorer is an exercise in frustration for me compared to Google images on Firefox.
Goodnightā¦.and did you say āIckā about Guinness??!!Ooohhh!
Meanwhileā¦. brain bleach is selectiveā¦like color safe Cloroxā¦only removes the stains and not the good stuff.
As for my Firefox crashā¦. Iāve never had a browser that NEVER crashedā¦Firefox has been more stable for me than IE, which used to periodically freeze, stop responding, etc.
This is probably the first time in many monthsā¦. and unlike IE, when you restart it after a crash it brings almost everything back, re-opens all your windowsā¦sometimes even with unsaved text intact.
But this time I got an error-reporting message, and by the time my windows re-opened my text was lost.Sniffleā¦
You find this unusual.My wife has a mental condition (Schizophrenia) so she has done and can do some odd things. She is in the final stage which just makes her eccentric.This is why I find the panel funny.When we go out she has this āroutineā of gathering up things, stopping and saying under her breath chants.It is really quite funny to watch because I am standing behind her the same way he is. āOh Cāmon honey lets just goāWe cannot go until everything is āblessedā.Then packs the car with all kinds of trinkets, bags, bags within bags, and so on. Finally a Sprite in the center console and we are ready to go to the Mall. Which is just over a mile away.We could have been there and back by the time her ceremony was done.My world is good. Home good. Wifeā¦..good.
Careful with those two. They also do an entering ceremony, a crossing the threshold ceremony and entering the living room ceremony. Donāt even ask what ceremony they do when they go to the bathroom!
Ever notice, if you get close enough to Marcia, that she reeks of sage ? You can always tell when sheās been around ā sage with a hint of patchouli ( a throw-back to her hippy days, no doubt. )
āStormā¦. Iāve heard of an appā¦ well a Firefox plug-in .. that saves pics to PhotoBucketā¦
In fact I think x_Tech mentioned it someplace tooā¦
Iām not sure what else you meanā¦But thanks.
Actually, I have no problem saving pics directly to my computer, the normal wayā¦and I donāt use Photobucket.
It was Stel having the problem, and I was trying to give her a āwork-aroundā, as itās called, cos she does use Photobucket but not Firefox."+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++(I may be wrong, but perhaps Storm was referring to the text that you in the process of writing when Firefox crashed and it was lost? ?)
Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Your fix worked like a charm!! And, Iām back in business again!
Wellā¦ā¦I suppose that Marcia and Todd provided a better departure ceremony for you that my family and I could have. As usual, my uncle called my aunt a heifer and it was all down hill from thereā¦..literallyā¦..she went to kick him, lost her balance and rolled all the way down the hill.
Iām looking forward to your return in December. Enjoy the world and stay safe!
