1. Quite an accomplishment
I would have to submit either something I've baked or cooked or a picture of the house I helped renovate, if that counts.

24. Go with that picture of you renovating the house.
Shows a certain "asset" of yours very well indeed. :evilgrin:

Oh and is indeed a house on which you're working....

9. Thank you!
Flower arranging is one of my hobbies. I usually do live arrangements for wedding cakes, and this past summer, did my first wedding bouquets/boutonnieres since the ones I did for my own 12 years ago.

Had a bar raising one day with some friends and we knocked this out in an afternoon. I built custom furniture for 15 years but don't have pictures of anything on line.

21. Man...where were you when I had my Impala?
I could have used some help.

I wish I had some skills like that. As I've mentioned I'd love to have a second vehicle to play 'round with - bonus if it can haul something once in a while.

26. What year?
That was my Big Project. I'd never completely removed a steering column, and the thought of it was rather intimidating. But it all went back together properly, and I even managed to get some of the slop out of the shift linkage. (It had a couple of broken spacers.)

It still isn't finished, btw. I've got new door panels and arm rests ready to go in, and I'm gonna build new speaker boxes behind the seat so I don't have to cut the panels. Also got a new headliner to put in.

61. What do you mean by direct link?
The URL unfortunately ends with a ".jpg" so no matter how I try to put the URL in my post, it generates the same error.

63. OK, what I mean it should be a DIRECT link...
like this, as an example:

h ttp://imageshack.us/something.jpg

it will be a little longer than that and without the space between the "h" and "t", but it is to contain NO code, none of these <>, or question marks, or brackets, none of those at all. The ".jpg" is part of the image's filename and should be in the URL, otherwise the board here will not load the image, because it can't fill in what is missing.

74. As I said, I already tried that.
Thanks, though.

It is not a straight URL to the image, but the "filename.jpg" is a PHP parameter, and the board script is choking on that for some reason.

18. Kitties are so funny, aren't they?
My youngest cat is best friends with my dog. Youngest kitty's mommy pretty much gets along with her furbaby, but sometimes hisses at her. Then there is my oldest cat, Miss Kitty, The Queen of The Universe, who has not use for ANY other four-legged creature, and for very few two-legged creatures. They are awfully entertaining though!

the cake took about 4 hours, from start to finish.

of course, i had absolutely no idea what i was doing and i had to mix all of the frosting colors from scratch, which was a mini-nightmare.

i need to take some new pics of the little one--her 2nd birthday is next month and all of the pics i have on my computer are from months ago.

66. For my kid's first birthday
I decided to make him a Blue's Clues cake. You know the kind from those Wilton character pans.

I'd never done on ofe those before, but how hard could it be, it's a blue dog?

Six freaking shades of blue and upteen thousand bloody stars with the small star tip.

I did Winnie the Pooh for his second birthday. When he turned three I was 39 weeks pregnant and he got cupcakes. ;)

And I say that partly because it is obvious and partly because they look a lot like mine! My son, the older brother, has big eyes and thick brown hair. My daughter has curly brown hair. Seriously, there is a big similarity. :thumbsup:

42. Actually it was just like doing a lincoln log project
I moved every one of those logs onto the house site, even the 12 footers, I had the biceps of a world class wrestler after building that house. I also sanded and stained every piece of wood in the house and, as god is my witness, I would move into a trailer tomorrow. What an f'n nightmare.

www.photobucket.com ...
It will ask you to make up a user name and password,
then allow you to download photos (.jpgs or .gifs)from your computer.

Once you've loaded it, you'll see 3 'tags' - different ways to post images depending on the media you're using - listed under a thumbnail of the photo.
For DU, it would be the one that starts with bracket IMG bracket.
Copy and paste that whole tag into a post, and the pic should be visible inside your post!
