    Can't figure it out!

    Now I don't have any photo toolbar showing. All I'm able to do is post Icons. Is there someone who can walk me through this? In the mean time, I've posted the pic I wanted to share on my blog http://grandmagrampabrown.blogspot.com/

    Thanks for putting up with me. Remember I grew up before we even had hand calculators. Does anybody remember what a slide-stick is?
    Scotland is only 1/5 the size of Montana, but Scotland has over 3,000 castles and Montana has none.

    I do! I even remember my dad having a round one!

    Anyways, try enclosing your URL link with the IMG tag [img] before and then [/img] after.

    So, if you insert this between those two square bracket tags, your photo *should* show up (remember, no line breaks or spaces):

    Is this the young lady you were talking about in your other post?

    What a fine couple you make together!

    Slide rules - I have a matched pair somewhere. A 12" desk sized one and a 6" that was for "your jacket pocket"

    Happy days.

    Thanks guys. It is the young lady I was talking about. More beautiful now than when I married her 40 years ago!

    I do, still have my old slide rule in a box. I have an E6-B (circular slide rule for aviation related equations) in my flight bag.
