Photobucket has been annoying me for months. They had pop-ups that made it difficult to load pictures or set up a link so I could display pics, and recently they have tried other annoying things (such as telling me there was a mandatory update to Firefox I needed to install before I dare go anywhere else; I don't use Firefox), and I had decided that I would have to look elsewhere soon. As you can see by my avatar, they have decided that you can't have 3rd party hosting on the free account. So, I will be looking elsewhere sooner than I expected. I am open to any suggestions or recommendations.

Ooh, I don't like to hear that.  I dumped Imageshack for Photobucket a couple years ago for similar reasons, culminating in none of my image links worked anywhere anymore.  I really don't feel like going through all of that again.

It got you, CB, and Pod, DG. My Photobucket stuff is still going without a hitch, interestingly enough. Really odd that it hasn't done that on my stuff...weird. But I've already set up an Imugr account for future protection and future posts.

Hell, I even found the images that went with C6's tuts on hair and chains hiding on my Photobucket account as I was grabbing things ahead of time, just in case...didn't know I still had those...

Imgur is what I use to host my images. Its a pretty solid site. No annoying pop-ups on my end (although, I have adblock, so that might help :P)

Popping in to say hi. Absence due to being sick, I wouldn't know where to start or end right now. Body decided it needed Thrush on top of things. Eesh. Anyways miss ya all, will be back around once I heal a bit.

Howdy SA, sorry to hear that man!  I hope you're feeling better soon!

So, now I have two protruding disks on the other side of my spine. It is an all-new experience in pain. Makes me long for the days my left hip felt like there was an ice pick in it, until I walked and it became a sword. They were going to set it up for today, but since the order for the other hip was written, there has been a change in the requirements: this time I have to stop my arthritis meds. This means the earliest they can do it is next week (and I may have to postpone the CT and bone scans scheduled for next week), and again I have to have someone go with me and not eat anything after midnight. So for a week I have to put up with not being able to walk to the bathroom without a cane. The CT/bone scan has added a new wrinkle: six bottles of heinous glop to drink, and no real sustenance after midnight.

This whole getting old thing is getting annoying.

BentonGrey

Ohh man, that sounds rough, DG!  I'm sorry, my friend!  It seems these things always come with an extra set of annoyances in addition to the suffering.  I hope and pray that the week passes swiftly and the procedure is effective and successful.

DG, I told you lift that building up to get that twinkie was a bad idea...

You know DG; he's not one to be deterred by a few hundred tons.  :lol:

The mistake was that the building was bigger on the inside than it was on the outside...

So, has the extra coronal exposure from the eclipse triggered any latent mutations yet?

I'm hoping that the tropical storm in the Gulf spawns a thunderstorm (the storms have been running east to west instead of west to east the past week because of the tropical weather), and I get a lightning bolt during one of the scans.

I got two (count 'em two) shots of steroids yesterday. Now I can walk to the bathroom without a cane, and can strand upright instead of hunching over like some kind of pre-human.

BentonGrey

Well, that's a win, at least!  Here's hoping you get cool superpowers, and not something lame!

Yeah, like talking to fish (which, as you know is not what Aquaman does).

So, I'm like Aquaman? Because I can totally talk to fishes. At least when they're in an aquarium—when I'm underwater too, my vocabulary tends to be limited to "Blub! Blub, blubblub! BLUB!" (and then I pass out and someone has to get me out of the water and give me the mouth-to-mouth).

...What? When Aquaman talks to fishes, they understand? Nope, that I can't do.

Urg, DG, that is definitely the ugly.  You'd think with all the wonders of modern medicine, they'd find a way for stuff like that not to taste like pure evil.

A long day, involving drinking some less odious slime, getting shoved in big machine and zapped with strange energies, and even a radioactive injection. All I have is a warning that I need to drink a lot of water lest I suffer kidney damage.

...and thus we find DG's superpower...the ability to pee a giant waterfall in one sitting.

Probably. Though I think Arm Fall Off Boy's got first dibs. ;)

Naah... they've been cancelled. Although... if you could move them to the Gulf Coast...
