OH WOW!!! I fell asleep last night trying to catch up on posts! I was somewhere around pg 590 I think. Woke up with the imprint of comp keys on my cheeks and drool on the keyboard. And now there are 606 pgs!!!! I am thinking I may have to close the daycare today and just stay in my jammies and read posts. I'm sure nobody would mind!hu.gif

 

 

Ooooh! And more exciting news!! I just now figured out where all the contests were!!! (Yes, I was a little slow on that one. But there were a gazzillion shiny things on that page! I was distracted!lau.gif)

Thanks for the morning laugh! Lol. But I'm sure at the time u didn't find it funny. I've been lucky and haven't encountered an exploding egg.  But I usually don't open my eggs if they don't hatch. I'm not a chicken expert so I wouldn't know how to determine the reason some don't hatch. Well, I'm off to my morning coffee and the kiddos are starting to stir.

KABOOM all over my face, me, my clothes and talk about STINK... I came real close to vomiting.  I put it in a plastic bag, threw it in garbage, threw all my clothes in the washing machine and hit the shower.  talk about yuk... and DW was not happy about the smell in the den....

 

but it didn't explode in the bator. Thank the good LORD.

 

(when I was a kid, on the farm,  I got exploded on more than once)  too bad I forgot those experiences until I got exploded on again February 3rd.

Mahonri it may ease your mind to double check your spot check - first in ice water, then in boiling water, to make sure it is registering properly.  Remember, this is supposed to be FUN  lol.png

Oh I am going to go nuts. I leave tomorrow morning to Bentonville, Arkansas (AND Amarillo, Texas) and am not back until midnight Wednesday. It's going to be a long two days. I have to rely on my DH to check the eggs for me. He is really going to be sick of me calling to check on them but I have no choice. Hopefully nothing changes with the humidity and the temp before I get back home. fl.gif

I see where you've made the album but it does say it's blank. Have you tried logging out and logging back in?

 

Also are you using the photo updater and not copy and paste?

 

I've found I'm always blank when I copy and paste, but they show up when I upload using the thing on the top toolbar. 

 

If not you can send them to me and I can upload them for you.

 

It's my BYC name @gmail.com



I tryed all of the above.barnie.gif

I did the photobucket account and I'm about to post my egg pics!!!!!!!!!       THANK YOU SCG FOR YOUR OFFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One easy way to do it is it make a photobucket account for free. You can post all of your pics there, and next to each pic it gives you a link. You can use the URL for your pics in the URL tab when you click the little BYC pic button. Hit submit and there it goes!

 

 

 

Ramo<--------See the second line down that says Direct Link? Click to copy.

 

URL image upload<--------Click the Image URL tab and paste that link from Photobucket in the Import URL blank, then type a label if you want, or leave it blank to have it autofill. Click Submit.

 

Here's that same pic:
