  1. Now that was a LOL moment for me.
    I can really hear these two saying such things.

    PS I really love your header picture, so clean and full of spring! :)

  2. Debora . . you have an apostrophe before "thingsthat . . " etc in your URL in the Linking List, so browsers can't open the page unless the reader spots what's wrong. That's probably why you have only 2 comments so far on your amusing post.

  3. Thanks for your comment on my MFM.

    You ask how I found the error in your link (No 27) on Stony River's link list.

    When I clicked your link, my browser (Safari on a Mac) said "Cannot find the page "http://'things etc.
    I guessed the apostrophe was a typo, and when I erased it (in my URL bar) your page opened OK.
    I think only Stony River can correct the error in your link on her list. The best you can do for yourself is make a new link on the list - without the typo, of course!

    Best regards

  4. I use Mac's Safari browser (like Dr. FTSE?) and spotted the mistake in your URL no bother. Something else Windows 7 doesn't do properly? (I know Bill Gates Rules the World, but one day the world will rumble him!)

    I like your interpretation of the picture-prompt. Posted mine very late.

  5. Debora . . when I click your new links, my URL bar (on my Mac) still shows
    http://'www.thingsthatarelovely.blogspot.com/
    Notice the apostrophe after//

    and my browser screen says "Safari cannot open the page http://'www.thingsthatarelovely.blogspot.com/"

    I can't tell you how the apostrophe gets into your links when you put in your URL, but to open your post correctly, all I need to do is erase the apostrophe in my URL bar and press "Enter"

    Hope this helps!
