Thanks for working your weather mojo for the Texas show, Paul! We had terrific storms days before and after, but thankfully, clear skies for your party on Friday with you and 40,000 of your friends. Safe travels the rest of the tour. Cheers!

Great show!

Happy Birthday, Paul! Hope 77 is a blessed year for you.

Great seeing you again in Arlington on Friday. A splendid time, as always.

Peace and Love,

from Tori (and son Nathan) in Texas

Yes, mockers are the best.

I think Podgie's problem was mainly with PhotoBucket. I'm sure he must have found an alternate photo site by now. Well, at least I hope he has.

I hope so, too.

Sorry, have been working very long hours on some projects all due around the same time, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Unless it's an oncoming train. Or even simpler - work is literally killing me and I'm having a Near Death Experience.

We can’t quote photos Tori. They will either totally remove it like I just did, or change it to a link. I know, I don’t make up the rules.

No worries, Nancy R.   Still finding my way around again. (BUMP! Dang, they moved the furniture.)

When I touched the stones I was shooting for the 1960s, but I overshot.  The show is 1700s, Clare just met George Washington.  It definitely was better when they were in Scotland, but still an interesting show.

Not sure if I am going to persue photo posting, too much work...and may be all for naught.

Podgie (Out-lander) Monkey : )

Hi (((Podgie)))

I see what you mean. They deleted the link to my New Peradventure of (you-know-who) animated youtube video I posted in here.

Was this something you posted recently? Who is “they?”

Who would you think "they" was? The mods. But as I read now...they did not. Just a disappearing embedded youtune.

WHY have the option to embed if it doesn't work correctly. Are ANY of these problems being looked at???

Hi oobu24, well, yes, as a retired moderator having worked three and half years on this board I did have some insight into...backstage activities here.  But it has been awhile and I did check the Peace in the Neighborhood post before I posted and found nothing regarding YouTube videos let alone embedded videos auto-disappearing after 30 minutes. Then again that board rules post hasn't been updated since 2004. As you said, why have the option to embed a YouTube video if it doesn't work or isn't allowed.

I know the mods have the ability to change large items to links. So when the video posted after the "Here's a new peradventure..." line completely disappeared without being changed to a link and only the link to the Daily Mail article was left, I assumed it had been...surgically removed. 

So, thank you (((Mods))) for adding back the video link and my apple-orgies for assuming.

I didn't know that you were a mod at one time. Like you said ..instructions should be updated or even better...the problems should be fixed. Most sites have things happen automatically but not so much on this board. Like automatic spell check or posting a link to something does not go to a clickable link. And you have already encountered the disappearing youtube. Good luck navigating around the new site.

Thanks, oobu24. Yeah, so am I a Mod or a Rocker? I think Ringo said it best: "No...I'm a Mocker."

And thank you for helping to get in touch with ((((Podgie)))) again! Hopefully, we can find a solution to the photo posting issue and start posting again.

Nice video Tori!

Thank you very much, oobu24!

I've always liked your avatar pic. You may not remember, but we discussed it long ago. Is Paul rubbing his eye or flipping us the bird? Only Paul knows for sure.

Ha...no I don't remember discussing the pic. He does seem to do that quite often though. Even recently in the St Barts pics. I used to think it was because he's always holding a guitar pic but he seems to be branching out.

Here's some old ones.

Yes, he does seem to be a stealth-flipper. I know in England it's two-fingered (and as bird=girl, "flipping the bird" must have a completely different connotation ). Paul's flipping is bi-lingual.

((((((Podgie))))), come back!

The reason I was confused was because I saw no post with an animated YouTube video until today! Nothing at all was there last night when I posted. And Podgie had talked a while back about his stuff being deleted from Comcast, so I was thinking of that. Btw, your video was cute.

In answer to your questions, I don’t know, and doesn’t look like it!

Thank you, Nancy R.

No troubles, water under the bridge. Wait...that's a different Paul.

This is crazy with items disappearing & others being removed. We don't know what anyone is talking about anymore.

Wait. Or is that my real life?

Um...Both!
