Welcome To Our Family.
The rules? No rules; just an expectation that we all "do unto others." In other words, if you want others to promote your work, you should do the same for them. Those of us who take a full part in promoting ourselves and others try to do so for a 24 hour period or longer if possible. That includes opening the Big Skip and promoting the images in there too.
GENERAL INFORMATION AND HOW WE DO THINGS HERE:
Please use the URL for your image postings, rather than the copy and paste code. Posting the photo itself, rather than a link will make it difficult for people who don't have high speed internet, as well it might cause people to skip over your post without promoting.
Only 1 image is allowed per day (within a 24 hour period), both in this discussion and in the group.
There is NO contest vote solicitation allowed on the discussion boards.
If you are posting nudes, or other questionable images, please post a warning notice with your link. There are children here, as well as adults who choose not to look at that type of image.
Please do not post links from your pixels.com account or any other FAA mirror site. It tends to create problems for some people and most will skip those links.
ABSOLUTELY NO images of nudity, death, cruelty or violence of any kind on the main board, where you have no ability to post a warning.
Finally, JUST HAVE FUN!! This is an incredible group of people who will make you feel welcome from your first post!!
TO ALL NEWCOMERS: I realize that some of you are so new to not only the group, but to FAA, that I thought perhaps a little clarification is in order. I'm sure you've noticed that while we can't require anyone to vote/like anyone elses work, we do tend to treat people the way people treat others. But I also realized that you may not have a clue what we're talking about, so........... to "like" someone's work, you click on their blue link, which opens up that particular piece. In the upper right corner, you'll see a few little icons. One is a thumbs up, which is what you press to "like/vote" for that piece of art. Most of us here press that whether we love the work or not. It's how we help each other to move up in the FAA search standings (even though FAA now says it doesn't count for very much, but that's now past history and it is what it is). That's all we ask of you. Should you choose to do so however, you can also click on the little heart (which is to add a work to your own "favorites" list), and you'll also find buttons for the various social media sites if the artist chooses to activate any or all of those buttons. These are the ways we promote each other. You may also choose to vote/like your own submissions. It's perfectly acceptable to do so.

something a little different from me today. Off to the annual souperbowl shortly for dinner. Probably won't watch the game tomorrow, as my son is going to a friends place.

How'd you all get here before me? Oh, I know. That's what happens when you're talking to Kim on the phone and she posts the new thread without saying a word about it. LOL

Lins I styled the cat design after Capt jack as much as possible! There's just so much magic I can work with a cat face!!!!! Did get the inspiration from pics of Jack Sparrow,complete with sword, bandana and hair. Keeping my fingers crossed.

From #119
Lisa I hope the Polar Plunge was fun ...crazy people lol! Hope you got some good shots too!
Debra the Barefoot Mardi Gras sounds like fun :) I love the parades.
Judy I had a giggle at the dogs cleaning up the spilled drink .... I hope it did not land on the computer.
lol Terri about you kicking the SF to Oz for every time you had a falling out with your daughter, she would have been back in the Old Dart if I kicked her for every time I had a falling out with my boys too. Especially my gay son ... I kid you not when I say they are worse than girls!!!
lol I had not even noticed that it was the men posting the Valentine messages ... whoops
On the subject of visits, I have no idea who visits.
lol Carol ... I had not thought of a dog being a vac and mop all in one ... handy appliance, I wonder if it will catch on :) I am glad there are a few sweethearts as well.
Allen sending blessings to you and yours for the loss of your SIL. I dont think group is more cursed than any other, it is just that here people are comfortable enough to share life's progress!
Bill -- superbowl festivities -- yup I call you crazy, I hope they are fun!
Anne, thank you for letting us know that Sarah is home. I am sure she will need some recuperating time as well as Karen needing it as well. I know that having someone in hospital is very tiring.
Have fun with the pirate cat Ellen :)
lol Lins ... if Ellen's cat looks like Jack Sparra' ... I will put it up on my wall ... yuummmmmmmmmm!
Hugs Kim
Jasna, a single mother experience can be hard and rewarding all at the same time! Just surviving can sometimes be hard!

Hello #120
Allen, so sorry for your family's loss. I totally agree about appreciating every day we have.
So pleased to hear that Sarah is home - great news!
Terri - your arm has probably fallen asleep along with the little bundle by now ... Glad you're getting some Nana time!
Ellen, I hope to see pics of your cats...my imagination is going all over the place!
I'm finally feeling a wee bit better today, so spent much of the day prepping food for tomorrow's Super Bowl festivities...aka the kids will all be here! Lol!
Prayers and blessings to all who need them. #MEFORMIA #DOFORDREW #KAIA #SARAH #ASKINGFORALISON
Until tomorrow....

Ellen, stay indoors please. Same thing I told my daughter.. That kind of cold is dangerous. Or, if you have to go out, come here. Supposed to be hovering somewhere around 87 in the next day or so.
