@Buttercup_Smith If you are working with an iPad or an iPhone, I sorta know how to do that. PM me if you want to muddle through what I have futzed around to figure out. ---

> [@SurrenderDorothy](#): > > She says it’s to check on the cat, but “checking on the cat” includes checking that I’ve been eating and taking my meds and doing some PT exercises with the goal of getting back driving and to work and so forth. She brings vitamins and supplements and doesn’t leave the sleeping pills with me. She has my gun. Who choppin’ all dese onions? The gentle practicality of the last two parts really shoved me right in the feelz. No judgment, just doing what’s right by a fellow human. We need a lot more of those kinds in the world. I hereby nominate **Dot’s Landlady** as an honorary Mumper. Not sure how we go about the proceedings, but I’m sure the feral kitties will work out some award for her. ---

So the first thing down the sort line was a microware. Not odd in and of itself, except the last song on the radio was Dire Strait’s "Money for Nothing; _we got to install microwave ovens…_. Guess it’s a good thing I wasn’t listening to Cthulhu chants. 😬 🐙 🐙 🐙 But I changed Gurthag the Destroyer’s litterbox, and went on a chicken run to Aldi’s. > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > I’m verklempt. _waves long acrylics_ Talk amongst yourselves “the Holy Roman Emperor was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an Emperor…” Glad you have the landlady to check on you IRL, Dots. Congrats on the closing Moooommmmmm!!!. Safe travels for the daughter, Butters. Boo, sweet kitties. Happy Cake Day Herald! ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > I hereby nominate **Dot’s Landlady** as an honorary Mumper. I second this. She needs a Mumper t-shirt. Somebody design that and we’ll put our heads together on how to make it and get it to The Landlady Supreme. The landlady we’d most like to have. ---

> [@Seanette](#): > > Will the kitties accept a human addition to the snuggle pile? 🙂 I’m pretty sure that was their whole goal for being so cute. My housemate took the picture and then joined them for a nap. Of course they picked the middle of the bed for their kitty selves so she had to moosh to fit in. ---

Oh, heavens. I may have a weekend project in this. 😛 **doggio** , once upon a time, I ordered a microwave from da Jungle. My downstairs neighbor was my designated FedEx/UPS signee (this was before da Jungle ran their own trucks) and when it came, the driver wanted to leave it downstairs with her. My nearly 80 year old neighbor told him in her southern granny voice _Oh no you don’t! She has no business carrying anything that heavy up those stairs and no one else lives on the top floor. It’s out of the weather, so you need to tote that thing up._ I had had recent surgery, so she was right (a friend’s teenaged son carried the old one down the stairs). I miss having Miss Sarah as a neighbor. ---

Find the picture online, put your cursor on it and right-click (click the right cursor button instead of the usual left button that you use for everything.) A short menu should pop up and somewhere in it will be “view image.” Click on that and you should get a window that is of the image by itself. Then highlight and copy the page address. Come here and paste that address in your post **on a line by itself.** It takes much longer to write it out than it does to do it. ---

Find the picture online, put your cursor on it and right-click (click the right cursor button instead If you are using an iPad, as I mentioned I do, I don’t have right click and left click cursor buttons, much less the rest of it. That’s why I said I hoped an iPad user would detail out the process. It is different with different OS and hardware using those different OS. Knowing how Windows does it isn’t something that is helpful to me, an iPad user. I’m going to go off and take a few deep breaths now… ---

I have not had to post photos on the internet to get them on here. I just tested this, and it’s worked for me. I select a photo that’s stored on my MacBook Pro, drag it to the desktop, and then drag it here to the message I’m writing. It loads perfectly within 15 seconds or so. Maybe it’s different on a cell phone or a PC, but it works great for me.
