Not at all, I can post virtually anything I choose to.
And I can post any number of images, YouTube videos, or combinations if I pay attention to the coding necessary.
I was just curious about why the WordPress programming limits us to four in a direct posting. Is there an easy way for you to add a font changing option in the comment box? The emphasis is because WordPress again says there is, but hey, WordPress.
I remembered you had remarked on your disappearing comment a while back, so I went looking.
If you go into your comment log and click back to February 20th of this year, the comment that disappeared on you is probably still in the list.
Just click on the garbage can and it will be deleted.
As for “Awaiting for approval,” the Great Prophet Zarquon will have to move his second coming forward a fair bit before “Gotting approval” happens.
I just foolishly didn’t keep track of the number of extras and posted the comment; the result we know.
What I mean by direct posting is your comment and pictures and/or videos (3 maximum) will post without problem; indirect posting is necessary when you want to post more than 3. That requires editing after the initial posting to get the extra ones to post (as I did here).
What I do is use a hole in WordPress’ programming to put any number of U.R.L.s above 3 into a comment. It does require a number of steps though.
I put six items in the spoiler box below (including a simple click-to-run link for the full movie “Attack of the Crab Monsters” and a picture of the cover of the Dolly Parton-James Patterson collaboration “Run, Rose, Run” / number 170 on the waiting list).
If you are at all interested, I’ll do my best to explain the method. As I said to nighthawks, postimage makes things a whole bunch easier.
What a serendipitous lead in for a book review I was going to do anyway (and I’m only 70 pages in) ! ! !
The book is “Packing For Mars The Curious Science of Life in the Void” by Mary Roach.
I.S.B.N. 978-0-393-06847-4 (hardcover / published in 2010)
She is a science writer who went behind the scenes of all the well known countries which have a space program to learn about the various astronaut selection / training programs for long term space flight , their successes and their failures.
She takes a serious, but lighter look at the darker sides of all the programs, and most importantly succeeds in making every astronaut, cosmonaut, etc. human.
As I said, I’m only 70 pages in but I’ve laughed out loud at some of the things the programs have done, and shaken my head at — They allowed that to happen? — as well as actually learning about some of the testing procedures and locations for them; with a lot more to come.
Mary Roach has published five other books as well, and I’m looking forward to reading some of them.
I LOVE her books. Have read Stiff, Bonk, and Gulp. Fuzz on order at my library. Am planning on getting the rest in the next couple months. She has a refreshing and outrageous take on even the most serious subjects.
There are two reasonably reachable library branches with copies of “Fuzz” available at my local library, I’m off to get one.
I’ll see you all tomorrow.
At first I thought it was the secret Rock Mating Beach, where the boulder swim ashore, far from prying human eyes, to start the lengthy process of building future generations.
Afterward, they go and lay large litters of pebbles on the beaches of the world… which, after hatching,
make their way uphill and eventually form mountains.
…
But no.
First… the “ocean” I thought I saw is sand.
So I was curious.
After much searching… I discovered that it was taken on Mars.
…
How did you guys already know that?
Is it a famous picture I missed or forgot about?
Anyhow…
If you want to know the real description…
This is from the NASA website:
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover snapped this view of a hill in Mars’ Jezero Crater called “Santa Cruz” on April 29, 2021, the 68th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.
About 20 inches (50 centimeters) across on average, the boulders in the foreground are among the type of rocks the rover team has named “Ch’al” (the Navajo term for “frog” and pronounced “chesh”).
Composed of multiple images, this enhanced-color mosaic was created using the left- and right-eye views of Perseverance’s Mastcam-Z camera system, merging the scene into a single, wider view.
Santa Cruz hill is a possible eroded remnant of Jezero Crater’s western delta. The hill is about 164 feet (50 meters) tall and was roughly 1.6 miles (2.5 kilometers) east of the rover when the photo was taken, viewed from “Van Zyl Overlook.”
PS… those boulders are way smaller than I thought.
If you want a fun 24 seconds to start your morning, follow this LINK and activate — ‘s video of Buddy and QTπ playing around.
They are two very happy dogs.
Looks as if QT-pi totally has Buddy’s number. She has him coming and going, literally running circles around him. He loves it. He learns what he needs to learn to be a responsible adult, gets the exercise he needs to grow up “big and strong just like his daddy”, makes a friend and gains a mentor. Plus it helps keep QT young. Win-win.
I’d say that was one of Clara’s sarcastic suggestions.
You go, Girl!

Good one, Cleo. Pretty sad that she wouldn’t even think Claude did it.
We live in a 55+ neighborhood and there are some that shovel the driveways for those that can’t. The development does the sidewalks. Fortunately, we have a heated driveway ~ best thing EVER!!

well, I had shut that option off, didn’t know it still was active…..are you saying you
can’t post an image or gif at all unless it gets approved ?
Not at all, I can post virtually anything I choose to.
And I can post any number of images, YouTube videos, or combinations if I pay attention to the coding necessary.

Two questions…
1… I saw your post to Plods… with all 4 images.
So do you mean you reposted it , or that it did get approval?
Cos I’ve gotten that tag, and my post disappears and never resurfaces.
2… What is there besides a “direct” posting? I’ve never heard of an indirect posting.

Thanks, but unless I’m ever desperate to have six images in one post, I don’t think I mind doing 2 posts the easy way instead.

That is some extreme coloring!

I like your interpretation.
Thanks…
I did think I was on the right track there at first…
Maybe we need some further scientific exploration.
They must mate somewhere, if not there.
Ask any gardener…
I’m with Tigressy on this one!
I may need to apply for a research grant.
Sure looks like smog in the background.
Could it be dust blowing in the background?
I was thinking the rocks in the foreground looked way too organic to be on Mars. Possibly a nest of dinosaur eggs?
Well, somebody sure shovels a lot of something around there.
Remember there have been lakes and rivers, active volcanoes, and tectonic plate movement on Mars. It has very definite geology.
“marsology?”

Cool… looks like they’ll get along.
I wouldn’t count on Buddy not suddenly realising he is big.
It happened with another lab puppy I knew… whose name happened to be… Buddy.
He was the plaything of three other dogs… and one day he suddenly realised he was the biggest.
No more plaything… all hail the king.

BTW… you might get a better view with the phone (I presume) turned horizontal.
In landscape mode, they can run the long way.

I never saw “Scent of a Woman” but this scene makes me interested.
A contemporary of Judy and Joni:
Never heard her version before. Awesome!
It is still international women’s day here.
Cleo finds the weakness in Claude’s argument.
Oooh! Tsss! Burn….
Good one, Cleo…
Oh… er… I mean… BAD dog!
Yeah… that’s what I meant, of course.
Bad dog.

Remember who buys the kibble.
Well, OK, but not only Clara.

We live in a 55+ neighborhood and there are some that shovel the driveways for those that can’t. The development does the sidewalks. Fortunately, we have a heated driveway ~ best thing EVER!!
I too have a heated driveway….but it only works in June, July and August
Hey!!! I’ve got one of those, too! (Good one, NH!)
Thanks for that laugh!
I have some very good neighbors who shovel my walks and driveway… Thank you!
Us too! I call them our Snow Angels!
Nobody ever shovels MY driveway.
Might be cos I have neither snow nor a driveway.
That can’t be the best thing ever.
I live in California where I never need one.
Hey… That’s the best thing ever.
