Yes, it is a habit. "Here we go 'round..." is every bit as old.

you guys are amazing. I remember some fairly trivial musical stuff, but I've always had a hard time matching tunes with their titles/artists.

No lie, when the band practices and someone yells out the next song, I often have to be reminded which one it is. Even the ones I wrote. In my head, all songs are categorized by riff, not by title or lyric.

How about the theme song from Grape Ape?
Attachment 10017

Edit to ask: does everyone see the little box with a red X, or is it me?

So if we post a picture ourselves we get the white box/red x, but we can see others pics, and they can see ours? I'm so confused!

OK, here's how I've been doing it (and this has been an ongoing occurence):

I find the pic I want, and save it to my desktop for convenience. I make my post. I go to "manage attachements" I browse for my pic on my desktop. I upload it, then close that window. I go to "attach image" and attach the image (in this case ape.jpg) Then it does this? What am I doing wrong? I am also unable to see the pics I posted of myself in "show yourself" when I could see them, then I couldn't, then I could, now I can't. Help!

I can't see Shawnee's pics either. But I don't think you have to click "attach image" Shawnee, just uploading the image and closing the little window ought to do it.

Yes, you're adding an extra step from what I do.
