Okay, now I’ve broken it. Mom asked why one of the photos lost its caption so I went in to figure it out. Ended up reloading all the photos and then lost all the captions. Then made a brand new test post to see if the captions were missing in it. (They were.) Then deleted Steve’s post instead of my test post. Drat!
Captions are still not working. Don’t know why. And I lost all the birthday wishes from Mom, Michele and Jeanie in the bargain. Bummer. Feel free to send them again!
little brother
Happy Birthday Laura,
Looks like I put my little brother hex on your post just to frustrate and annoy you on your B-Day. I had trouble with the captions as well. I lost the caption “the little angel” to your 1-year picture and the caption for Shelly & Jills never showed up.
Laura
I haven’t given up on figuring it out, although I might need to reload the exhibit plug-in. The javascript seems to be corrupted… who knows why? Computers are an eternal mystery to me… they are supposed to be science but as in life, there is always something beyond our understanding. I think you were on track when you used the word “hex”.
Thank you for my birthday post, even if I did screw it up. 🙂
Laura
Mom, your flowers came. They are beautiful! Snapdragons, some kind of reddish-purple lily (not open yet so should last a long time), dark pink gerbera daisies (each covered in a little mesh sock to keep them from getting smashed … pretty spiffy), and a couple of deep green leafy plants, one with cranberry-like berries that actually open into little flowers.
Noche is disappointed, however… they were delivered by FedEx and he prefers UPS. Dave always carries dog biscuits!
MOM
Hex is right! I wrote again and it didn’t show up so maybe I didn’t ‘say it’ but I thought it did. You also missed dad because he wrote earlier as well. I missed Jeanie’s so hope she writes again. Hope you get to curl up again with your animals and don’t have to do homework all day. love ya
Laura
Mom, I think I saw both your posts as well as dad’s … I just lost them when I accidentally deleted Steve’s post. I could easily re-create his post but not the comments. Oh well…
Dad
Ohhh daughter, you have made my day! I thought I was the only person who could mess up on a computer and lose material. Even my genius daughter can do that! Wow! As for what I wrote before…no way can I remember what I said. I think I was just feeling nostalgic and sentimental as I was looking at your pictures. I remembered you sitting at your little desk at I.U., studying with me until wee hours in the morning and watching Captain Kangaroo together in the afternoons. I remember when you were a student at John Glenn, wearing pants so long they dragged on the ground so that they were always wet and muddy by the time you got to school. Of course, one of my most humorous memories is of my little angel sitting in the sandbox in Monte Rio, singing in that sweet, innocent, angelic voice: “Damn! damn! damn! damn!” Now why didn’t “Fat” Norm think you were an angel? Hope the rest of your birth-day goes by uneventful and relaxing. Love, Dad
Laura
Okay, there are captions again. I still haven’t figured out why they won’t display as they have in the past. I’ve reloaded the plugin to no avail. However, I did get brave enough to log in to the database directly and add them manually . Yikes! That was scary. I’ve never done it before and I thought I might lose the whole dang database. Didn’t though. Not yet, anyway. I’ve now frittered the whole morning away on this totally inconsequential problem instead of updating dad’s website or doing my homework. Proof positive that I haven’t lost my ability to procrastinate!
Dawn Laney
Happy Birthday long lost friend! Sure do miss you! Heard thru the grapevine you are coming to Michigan soon……Yaaaaaaaaa Hoooooooooo…gotta get together!
Love Ya
Dawn
Laura
Woo Hoo, Dawn … yep, I hope to see you in February. It’s been TOO long!
Steve (husband)
Happy 35th birthday, sweetie!
I hope your day got better after your walk!
Love and Kisses!
Westi
Ben and Jerry’s here you come!!! Probably just the thing you need after a frustrating Web day. Hopefully the latter part has been peachy-keen and sunfilled. I wish my college photos were as beautiful as yours! (Westi poem circa 1987 stands true–“Laura is nice, and pretty and likes birds” (it went something like that!)) Happy birthday!
Michele
Hey great! If Laura is 35 than I am only 25. I like you having birthdays!!! Tee hee.
mom
Boy, we are getting younger! As long as I can
stay in MI and not return to TX! Although I
am homesick today because Rian called and Mac
talked to us also. Why can’t I have you all in
one place all the time! I could spend all day
on lots of memories but I have work to do. I spent yesterday with photos and the Christmas
decorations didn’t go up by themselves. What is this Ben and Jerry’s stuff – Shaun will probably be right there. love you all
Michele
Let’s see, if I was 25 right now than I would be living in Steve’s basement, VERY poor, applying to start the Master’s program I never completed and working a dead end job at Zale’s Jewelry Store in Troy. Okay, nope! We can’t go back to 25. So maybe Laura you can be 34. I LOVED 24 and I would be back in Argentina and learning Spanish this time!
Westi
Funny that I went to Spain and worked on my Spanish at 24 too. Maybe that’s a special year. But, hopefully, I’ll like 25, since it’s around the corner.
Michele
25 is a good year too, I just liked the first 6 months of it better than the 2nd 6 months. I would freeze time around that age. Young enough to act like a college kid and yet old enough to be looked at as an adult going places. It just took many years to figure out the places I preferred to be! tee hee.
Laura
I’m rooting for 45 to be a great year. I don’t think I’ll go back… here’s to moving forward!
