    Today is very stressy as tonight I am being audited by PWC in a video teleconference for work. It's kind of a big deal because it has to do with Sarbanes Oxley compliance. Even though I know all my math is on the up and up, I can't make a mistake here.

    ..No idea what you're talking about, but it sounds very impressive and important. Doubtless you've worked hard using your natural talents to achieve this level of responsibility - as Fortune says, you're doing a fantastic job which should be recognised within your organisation. It'll be fine. ((hugs)) :)

    If the photo is on your computer, you right click the image and select "copy image url"

    Then when putting it in a post press ctrl and v to copy the information you have just gathered.

    Before and after the http code you have to put IMG in square brackets - [ IMG ] but you also have to put an / in the square brackets at the end

    So your code without the spaces would look like this to you:

    [ img ] http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/540069_210274632445014_1143436696_n.jpg [ /img ]

    Good luck on the audit tonight NL - I just know that you will perform fabulously. I know that they're stressful, as we have 3 monthly audits at work and I always worry about them yet they seem to go smoothly. I am very, very proud of you, walking to the PO, and will look forward to hearing that the weight starts to diminish slowly but surely. Love the sound of giving yourself 2 years to clear the debt, this is such an ambitious goal, yet I know that you will acheive it. Wow, what a party we will have after 2 years eh? Virtual of course, unless of course we all converge on you in London and have a garden party (we will bring our own wine and grub of course, as it will be an MSE party) and we will all have to wear name badges so that we know who we all are :j

    Again, you continue to sound so motivated and cheerful, and your posts are wonderful to read, so keep it up.

    Dorothy that is what I thought. I will now have no choice but to treat myself to some melatonin so I can sleep tonight as wine /gin & tonic? galaxy bar would interfere with my 1lb a week promise to you.

    We have a saying for people who play with people's head's in America (but obviously I won't say it here or you will all think I am a common New Yorker of the Jewish lesbian stereotype) oh wait, that is me!

    I will hasten to add I don't chew gum like a cow and I don't have a gold lame baseball cap, although it is built into my DNA that I should retire to Florida and drive a Cadillac and play MahJongg. (I am fighting that urge)
