     Also I have found mingle's program will post anything with an % sign in the url.   ahhh ..  is that so   
  I am so smart in some fields of understanding ,   
  but completely oblivious   in other departments ..  
    & all this computer jargon doesn't make any sense to me     
see what i mean about photobucket...   
what is up with this ???   
they do this All the time ...   
and their pictures are usually sooooo good   
and then you go through all the trouble to post it   
only to find it is GONE       
 
now glittergraphics doesn't seem to have the volume of pictures as photobucket but then again ,   
who knows for sure   with all the deleted photos   they advertise on photobucket   
  and glittergraphics has been way more dependable

Thank You Troops A question sir I pray to ask Whatever enticed you to this task? Here you are so far from home Unfamiliar lands you're forced to roam The sod beneath your feet is wet with the blood of comrades sweet perils and hardships grip you on every side from tears and guns you can not hide Daily when facing the foe you never know will this breath be my last? Please sir, why such a difficult task? “Good things my lad are hard to attain and freedom son comes with a stain This life I entered young and brave now I'm old and headed for the grave. But regret never will I tis' reward enough to see our flag fly A plea I have for all remember those who heeded the call See the flag up yonder? That's why I was willing to wander.“ the tears are flowing down my cheeks I try but I can not speak A message now I'll write or I shan't sleep tonight. A debt of thanks to you I owe and I long to tell you so. May heaven bless you each and every day Guide and protect you all the way. By Jenny Gane  |

     Thank you so very much Rapunzel for starting this thread. You've no idea how much it meant to me to see this...today especially. I grew up as a military 'brat.' Men & women on both sides of my family have served in one branch or another for generations. I am very proud of all of the brave heros in my family, our close family friends in service, and all of our blessed troops in general. I have been a military wife, and still have many, many loved family and friends deployed at this very time that I pray for daily. Since 2001, I have personally lost 8 dear and beloved friends and family to this war. In fact, I attended the funeral of a very beloved and close family friend (my brother for all intents and purposes) this week actually. So many people do not truly understand the toll it takes on our soldiers...and their families. We should always remember to support them in any and all ways possible, thank them and show our deepest gratitude for what they have done or are doing. No act of kindness toward them is ever gone unnoticed...believe that! Thank you again, dear sister!                              
Glorious, Almighty, Father in Heaven... Please protect our troops at home and abroad now and forever. Bring them all safely home to their families and friends. Please bring the Comforter to all of our soldiers and their loved ones at home to give them Your peace and ease their pain from separation, worry, and grief. Lord, let our troops' transition back into society upon their return go smoothly and flawlessly. Father, please let them find nothing but love, joy, compassion, patience, and tolerance in the people that they encounter after returning home. I pray for ultimate healing, be it physical or emotional, on all troops and their cherished ones. May the sacred blood of our Saviour be upon them all! In Jesus' name, I pray. AMEN!!                                 
   Oh Thank you So Much   Prophetic Servant  
   for coming by   and for your sweet words   
   I am soo sorry for you & your Family's tragic losses    
  all the many Deaths of Dear Family   & Good Friends you have withstood   
  & So devastating   in the relatively   few years you have been here   on Earth,  My Dear   
  I'm sorry,       i forgot your actual name   
  but I just love you       so much my Sister   
  and my Noble Adopted   Daughter Truly   
  You are just soo awesome   & right on   God Bless you   
  & Thank you again for being here   & for sharing these precious gems     
  For we civilians especially   all need to raise our awareness   
  and always be conscience & contemplative   of where our Freedoms actually come from    
  & be Ever thankful   & Always appreciative   
  for Our United States Military        Those Brave Top Notch Courageous Souls   
  who stand between us   and the vicious enemy   day and night   
  and it is because of Them Alone    that our Freedom is made possible   
Thank You I can't shake every hand. I can't put flowers on every grave. I can't console every family member. But I can say thank you. You have given me the freedom I enjoy today. Your blood was shed in place of mine. Your family grieved so mine could rejoice. All I can say is thank you. There are not words big enough. There is not a hug strong enough. There is not a smile wide enough. All I can offer is thank you. You are my hero. You are in my thoughts. You are in my prayers. For all you've done, thank you. Lily Michaels

       Is it ever ok to be with someone because you're afraid that you won't find anyone else better?  
No, I don't think so. It is an issue of self-esteem (yours) and stringing someone along. If you give into your fear, it will become your reality.   you hit the nail on the head   & very nicely worded  I might add   
  oh well,   &  coming from a New England Lady   no wonder   
  I was born and raised   in New England   
  There is just something awesome   about the way   many of us were raised

      ohhhhh..thank you very much Sweetie ..you are very kind   
  when i was viewing those graphics to post   
  i didn't have an account with that site yet   
but...   
  i still don't have an account with glitter graphics though   
  and i still can access their pics really easily   
  i guess some sites are just easier to navigate than others   
  i just do not have a very computer savvy brain   
  I like arts and crafts & English the best    
  and i am not very mathematical at all   
  can hardly even spell the word

     What if you feel in love with an "ugly" person, would you say,a sked or not - You are beautiful/handsome or You are ugly?    If you are truly   in love   with someone ...  
  that person could Never Ever be ugly   
  for their true beauty emanates from within    
  Haven't you ever known some men or women   
  whether good looking or not   
  who were soooooo vain & in total love with themselves   
  and soo egotistical   & self centered   
  that they really became very ugly in your perceptions of them    
  and that ugliness permeates outward to the rest of their being ?  
  I certainly have unfortunately known people like that   
  and if you ever read the book called the Velveteen Rabbit   
http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/williams/rabbit/rabbit.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_m054tLKvs The Velveteen Rabbit: Told by Meryl Streep (Official Rabbit Ears Video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_m054tLKvs   you will read a timeless treasure that instills those same principals   
  another analogy is the classic masterpiece called Beauty & the Beast

      this is from Photo Bucket  ..I hope it lasts   
  oftentimes their graphics are deleted   soon after posting

     On many of these pages it is tough to get to the url for the actual picture. Looking at the link you posted I can see the URL... It's on photobucket and looks like this... http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u83/jst8761/mil/m0601.gif When you get to a page that has the picture, right click on it and select 'properties' and get the url. If you get something long like what you posted, it's not likely going to show here. Sometimes you can click on the picture and get it to show by itself, then right click and select properties. Here's the pic from above   
  
oh and by the way   thank you   sooo much    love ang hugs too

       I'm trying to post a beautiful Military graphic    
from <<< www.satisfaction.com >>>   on one of my Military  threads here   
   and i can't figure out   how to send it    
I have used glitter graphics.com   
and it is real easy to post graphics from that site   
but i wanted more of a variety to choose from   
and photo bucket is okay , but for some reason   
a lot of their stuff is deleted or gets deleted later on   
so i wanted to find other sites to use   
  i found glittergeek.com  & satisfaction.com   
but i cannot decipher their codes and figure out exactly   
what to use to post the photos and graphics on this site   
this is one of the codes    
what part of it do i use to post it here?
