Thank you! I knew asking you would be the best thing to do. My flickr link is now working and I can start showing off all the photo's now. We took 76 just of Joseph in the bath (but didn't put them all on) so we are baby-bores at the moment.

Glad to hear you are okay. Looked like fun on that climbing wall.

Stopping by to ask for advice, how did you do your flickr link? I've finally uploaded some pictures of Joseph but don't know how to share them here.

Hope you are well, haven't been about enough to keep in touch just lately.

Love the cat pictures on Flickr.

P. S. Love your new profile picture. (How new? I haven't been here for a little while.)

Loved your pictures on the photography show off thread. Very nice indeed

Hey Si,

I notice you list Lovecraftian horror among your library interests. I am finally approaching the end of Lovecraft's Tales, beautifully published by The Library of America. I think it's an exhaustive volume of his work, and I had to read it slowly because as you know, it's pretty dark in places.

But I'm enjoying it and wondering if you had any recommendations.

Hey Si, did you see in the Seattle group we are starting a book group. Carol O and Jasper and I are going to be joined by one other LT member. We are first reading [In The Woods] and will be meeting on October 2, I think. I hope you'll consider joining us. Go to the Seattle group to read all the details. Let me know what you think.

I'm just back from the doctor and have been told to rest and take antibiotics, so on doctor's orders I am allowed to go back to bed and play on LT.

You and your father have some very interesting reading habits, my library feels very uneducated next to yours. I am hoping to start a college course in the autumn though so I will be adding some more educational books to it. I am hoping to start training to be a counsellor. I just saw a Salvadore Dali book in your random books list though and have recently been reading about him too. He really was a very interesting person, but I imagine very hard to live with.

Sorry to hear you have had a bad end to the evening. We are an odd lot sometimes, we woman, so it probably wasn't all about the driving times. We ought to be more honest and say what's wrong but what we really want is for men to read our minds (but only when it's convenient for us). I am sure you will make it up with her soon though, she's probably already feeling sorry about it.

I'm just stopping by to say hello, got a bit distracted by your beard (is it new? I never pictured you with a beard but it suits you) and then a lot distracted by your tag ^. What does it mean? I'll ask you to forgive my nosiness, I'm sick today so I'm allowed to behave badly, but you don't have to answer any of it. I have tonsillitis, my throat hurts, my skin hurts, my eyes hurt and I've been awake since not quite 5am after less than three hours sleep and I need to do a lot of things today that can't be put off, so I'm having this one bit of LT visiting first, while it is still too early in the morning to be expected to go out. Ohh but I'm doing a lot of complaining when really I just wanted to know how you are today.

Ahh all explained!! I know him as Snagglepuss (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snagglepuss). Does also explain Mr A's comment as well :-)

No problems I was having fun going sideways through the internet - start in GD, past snaggletooth and end up on Tatooine.... Sleep who needs it?

We did enjoy it. I am also trying to recruit some craft vendors for a holiday bazaar out in Bothell so it was fun to talk to some of the vendors. I saw more than one person with a fancy camera rig and I wished I had the nerve to try to do some photographs, but I was shy about that. It was wonderful weather and today, Sunday, I went down to Roy to visit with my friends the lab dogs and their owners. Nice weather today too and I got some plain ordinary pictures of their house so they could send them to the previous owners. I am definitely having more and more fun with the camera and am beginning to lust after a fancy one, not so point and shoot.

OK, now I am rambling and I am tired. Nice to hear from you and I am glad you guys had a good time.

Thanks for the info!

Thank you very much! Your more detailed instructions were very helpful and I finally climbed that mountain. I am loading up more pictures to Flickr and I have marked them "for friends". I hope you will be able to glance at them and if you have comments I'd love to read them.

I am liking your profile pic. Very clever and mysterious stranger-ish.

Oh, this is frustrating. I could not find a box which said "copy and post this HTML to your web page". I have to go to a meeting right now so for now I give up. But another time, I will try again.

As a result of my photog class I signed up for Flickr. Noticed your cloud pictures and I think they are quite nice.

Is there a way to take a picture I have uploaded on to Flickr and copy its code in a LT thread so it shows up in the thread? I'd like to move dog pictures to the LTers with Dogs group, show off my dogs. Thanks in advance for taking the time to explain.

loved you kitty photo on Show Off thread. Next week I am going over to Vashon for a class in photographing animals. Should be interesting.

hey mono, some folks in GD are proposing a GD gathering day this coming summer and some of the west coasters are thinking northern California, and/or maybe Seattle for British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington folks. Check it out. Would you be interested?

Re: The Pants with No One Inside Them. Thanks for confirming that I am not crazy--or at least, that if I am, I have some company! Yes, it is impossible to really explain or perhaps to even understand what made that story so creepy.

A Quetzalcoatl flying into a picture window? You have quite an imagination there, Monohex! You aren't by chance a writer, are you?

How can I choose a favorite? Well, I was drawn in by Bohemian Rhapsody, but Love of My Life, Somebody to Love, and '39 are some of my most frequently played songs. Among many...

Ha! Typical. If the building was the new (post?) modern art museum or a pop media complex, I would be perfectly OK with it. It's just that it's a public building that is supposed to be functional and efficient. The library that was there before was not the greatest structure in the world (in fact it was dark and a little creepy on the ground floor), but at least it was arranged on a grid.

I guess I'm just a classicist. The satellite libraries here (specifically the Green Lake branch and the University District branch)are very nice. They're examples of beautiful and functional architectural design.

I was at the new and improved Central Library the first day it rained. While looking through the audiobooks on Floor 3, I kept hearing a "funny noise" - turned out that was the dripping water from the leaking roof above.
