the point was I wanted to put an image that I have on my computer in my post because my post was about what that image shows. It is not just a matter of posting a pic solely for viewing. I am aware of how one would normally post a pic on here and I also worked in IT for a time, so please understand that I am not just sitting here staring at the pretty lights. I suspect it has something to do with using a Mac, as I have run into this on other sites. (Mac bias is prevalent on the net as MS pretty much controls everything on there... sigh). It might be the platform but I have used it on other sites and it worked fine. (its imgbox.com and the help page did not indicate that there were sites that would not work nor that there was an 'approved' list so...). I was just tired and trying to keep myself from running screaming out into the snow. Life is not going well here and I am getting tired of it. Having to also watch our American society squander a perfectly good opportunity to make adjustments to our culture so that it would be more equitable has just made me even more tired and disillusioned. But I do appreciate the input and I will have to try a few more things to see if my theory is correct.
