3. Interview with the Vampire

I guess nobody else is having trouble with the image for #12? It will not show for me. I think I had a problem with it last week also and with some of Pandora's images too.

I would certainly not know the answer anyway.

Spot-on, ladies!

It is not showing up for me either, ob. Otherwise, the images of late have all been fine.

It didn't show for me, either.

hmm - comes up fine for me. I'm the owner, but that shouldn't make a difference

Oh, well, good to hear I am not alone. Thank you Marian and jboliver!

Now it's showing up for me. Knew it right off the bat.

I had that problem with Squiggle - like you jb just had to wait...

11. Onion

Indeed, michele - interesting...

I can also see it now.

I think the interior circular rings of the onion signified immortality to them.

I see it now, too.

12. Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits

Good call, flotsam!

6. February

Yet another one I didn't have a clue about!

Rog and I both use the same image hosting site. It's free and easy to use and has been pretty much problem-free for a long time. It's been a bit finicky of late but it still eventually comes through. I really don't want to have to search for yet another site but if this continues, I may have no choice.

I have been trying things multiple times (regarding the images) but I guess I'll just have to wait longer in between. I am just happy to know that it's not me and my computer!

I don't mind finicky as long as I know what the deal is. Thank you Sue and Rog for all that you do.
