Thanks, P51. May all your takeoffs end with happy landings (well, maybe a bounce or two, but you’ll probably be happiest to walk away from those).

OMG… I shouldn’t laugh at that…sorry Arfside…But it’s too funny.

I should ask, though…REALLY sorry, Arfside….

I think they were 99 last time I saw them… are you sure they’re not 100?

Hey, remind me to beat you later. As someone told me, you’re only as old as the sum of the numbers in your age. That makes me 9 years old (not 18).

What are its pronouns.. or..er.. nouns?

If you ask about my pronoun, it’s “Grand Exalted Imperial Poobah”. Try that a few times and you’ll settle for normal old pronouns right quickly!

Wasn’t something like the Grand High Exalted Poobah part of a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta?

It’s a confused male puppy that identifies as a male kitten. Not gender confusion, but species confusion.

SusanSunshine

Thought so… that’s why I changed it to nouns.

We have to remember to say “Here, kitty. Who’s a good kitten?”

Hope I don’t forget!

Thanks to all of you for my birthday wishes. BTW, it’s also Susan Sunshine’s “half birthday.

As a present to me (and maybe some others), I seem to have missed how to embed a youtube link properly so it shows up. Instead of repeating it, could you just direct me to the date where it was explained? Also the explanation for seeing more than 5 comments.

Thanks, and party hearty.

Sorry.. but what Don Martin is this?

Maybe I should know…

but the only one I can think of is the Mad/Cracked cartoonist, and I’m pretty sure he never made 70.

I don’t know that there IS a secret to it…
They’re just the copied and pasted regular URL from YouTube.

First, mine rarely look embedded till I refresh the page… before that, they’re links… but maybe only to me.

If that doesn’t work, you can try a different browser…

I know Stel discovered that one worked and another didn’t… but I can’t remember which.

I always use Firefox… usually they embed but occasionally not.

Some people have theories about putting other text before or after the URLs,,, but you see videos here with text in every position.

…..

Honestly… I think WordPress has poltergeists.

The only secret I know is to give them little Godiva dark chocolate ganache-filled hearts… they’re pretty reasonable at Costco.

Just send them to me and I’ll make sure that they… uh… yeah… that they get where they….. um… belong.

Just copy the URL not from the overview but from the page where you get clicking on it.
That results in an URL containing “youtu.be”.

SusanSunshine

Famed Member
Reply to  Tigressy

Right… I always open the video and copy the address bar after making sure it plays.

The poltergeist still makes sure some don’t embed.

I don’t get it… the same URL might embed correctly on another day.

Oh… if by “the overview” you mean a search results page…

I agree… never copy and post any URL from a search results page, or any other page that contains links.

Use that link to actually open the image, article, or video, on its own page…

Then copy and post the direct URL.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! !

This method was not discovered by me, but unfortunately when I went looking, I couldn’t find whom to credit.
When you open this…
 
.LINK (in a new window…and shift the bottom of the comment up-page a bit…)
 
… you will see that there are 8 likes (I’m guessing you meant likes and not comments).
1) Bring up the list.
2) Right click on the number 8 (you’ll then see the box in the attachment)
3) Move your cursor to any visible portion of the list box (there will always be at least a slice visible) and left click. As long as your cursor remains within the again fully visible list box you’ll be able to scroll up and down at will.

I use specially formulated “cauli-flour”, and add my patented, cake-flavored protein and fiber mix.

Then I use a big XTI-engineered bulb-type cake syringe to take out all the fat, sugar, and calories, making sure to leave all their flavor in the batter.

I promise, you can’t tell the difference in the taste or texture, or anything else, when you eat it….

But it’s health food!
