Thanks to adia and Paul for continuing the story!  8)

Paul, I can see the "Bar" sign, but for some reason I can't see your lightning-zapped sheep.  Anyone else having this problem?  ???

Yes.  I cn see the word "Bar," but nothing else in that or the next post.

I couldn't see it either until...

Right click on the red x, click and copy properties url, paste into the address bar, click go and get the picture by itself, click back.

When I did that -- the picture showed up just fine. Try that, maybe it will work.

These are really cute and creative! I love to see them.

Thanks, Meryl and Shasta, I think I fixed it.

My first try at smileys; I guess you can't hot-link them!

Yay, I can see them now!  All hail the Lightning-Zapped Sheep!  ;D

I love the two walking cowboys and the bar sign.  Too bad they have to travel backwards!  ;)

That brings up a very good point - if we take a moment to save the images we use to our own accounts, then this thread will last for posterity.  Everytime we hotlink, we run the risk of losing that image irretrievably.  It just takes a few minutes looking through image-intensive threads here in CT to see how unsatisfying that can wind up being in just a few months.

I suppose someone with mod techno-powers could go through and save any images that are only hot-linked, if someone wanted to do that.

I would so love to play the game, but I need ample time to sit down and hunt for smileys.. 8)
I am sorely lacking in that department..

Great job so far folks..

         I love what you all are doing.  But I dont have a lot of emots.  The only ones I have, I pretty much
stole from other people.  Are we supposed to do each scene ourself, or is it a group effort..maybe I could do some, if i get the hang of it better..You know me.  I just jump in with all fours sometimes and mess
it up...janice



     Beautiful mind

Thanks, Janice!  You're welcome to collaborate with anyone on any of the scenes coming up via PM.  And if you follow the links in the first post, you'll find all sorts of smileys.  You just have to click on the images and save them to your computer.  After I do that, I upload them to my Photobucket file.  That way they won't be lost if the original smiley site goes down.

I find I need to fill in with punctuation and pictures that I find on Google Images, which I resize to make them smaller and more like smileys.  Gradually, I'm learning to do effects like text overlay and color manipulation.  You can dpwnload a free program at PAINT.net that's pretty easy to use.  Let me know if I can help.  :D
