Your link isn't working, probably because the display text was truncated and the underlying link was as well.

If you would post the entire link without the http, colon, or double slashes in front, at least then we can copy and paste it into our browsers to see what you want us to see.

[Added]
OK, I think I have found what you wanted us to see and it's quite interesting. What you need is a "clickable link" such as the following:

Click here to see the really interesting cheques I found!

mawra · Jan 6 2015, 07:34 PM

I almost want to get a checking account just to have a reason to get those checks.

Moonlady · Jan 6 2015, 11:52 PM

Thanks everyone.

Kath, what is your latest fanfic about?

I started watching the Hunt for Red October with my oldest son. He is enjoying it. We will probably finish it tomorrow.

I saw the Imitation Game last night with my sister and her husband. It was an amazing film. I would watch it again.

P'ter · Jan 7 2015, 05:44 AM

Read it Dena! It's only about a page long.

mara · Jan 7 2015, 10:57 AM

Hi C_ris! A couple of years ago. I visited your PERN site. It was nice!

Congrats Moonlady!!!

It's a short post-canon piece about Oklina - it's in the exhibit hall

Moonlady · Jan 7 2015, 08:56 PM

Thanks Kath. I will read it, P'ter & Kath. I look forward to it.

mawra · Jan 8 2015, 09:05 AM

One of the 5 month old kitten has been attacking my cold toes.

P'ter · Jan 8 2015, 03:16 PM

Perhaps it thinks they're frozen fish fingers?

mawra · Jan 8 2015, 06:25 PM

I made the mistake of moving them.

P'ter · Jan 9 2015, 08:50 AM

Ah! Kits lurv anything that wiggles.

Kath · Jan 9 2015, 08:51 AM

*sigh*

I caught some of my students plagiarising off each other. Gonna throw the book at them as soon as they're all back in town.

P'ter · Jan 9 2015, 08:55 AM

But have you caught anybody plagiarising themselves?

Ain't Turnitin wonderful?

By the way; I thought you had moved from Heidelberg?

Kath · Jan 9 2015, 09:42 AM

Not yet - but they're not allowed to do that either! (At least not on assessable work)

Unfortunately, they handed in hardcopies to me for this coursework, so I have all the fun of triple-checking the remaining scripts with brain-and-eyeball technology. (This is why I'm so pissed at them!) Next year it'll be turnitin all the way...

[location fixed - thanks!]

Ah, the joys of teaching, Kath. You blast them.

Did your toes survive, Mawra?

I tried swing dancing last night and loved it.

P'ter · Jan 9 2015, 05:30 PM

The things that throw me on my couse is that the Theology modules are submitted solely electronically and with Harvard referencing. The History modules are submitted electronically and on paper using numbered foot-note referencing.

mawra · Jan 9 2015, 06:33 PM

Toes survived, it would not have been so if my toes had not been so cold.

We have a cat that had a prolapsed anus, her anus popped out. It was put back, but now she has to wear one of those cone things. She is not happy. Tammy is trying to give her meds now, one of which is a suppository. Cat even less happy.

Moonlady · Jan 9 2015, 10:39 PM

Glad your toes survived, Mawra.

Good luck with your papers, P'ter.

mawra · Jan 11 2015, 02:29 AM

I have decided we need another heater upstairs. Even with the insulation being up it was only 30 degrees when I got up this morn. Still MUCH better than what is was before, outside it was around 18F I think. Before insulation it would have been about 8 degrees upstairs, so thirty is not bad, but I would still like to get it warmer.

It did not help that my electric blanket, which had been Tammy's, gave out last night. I was able to replace it today.

Moonlady · Jan 11 2015, 03:30 PM

Stay warm, Mawra.

Priscilla · Jan 11 2015, 03:36 PM

Maw, our livingroom is always cold. Jeff just bought an oil filled radiator heater by a company called Cuori. It looks very much like the old fashioned radiators but you plug it in and it heats up nicely. I also believe it is not terribly expensive to use. There are two dials on in it; min to max and a second with 3 levels. Perhaps you could look into something like that?

Anareth · Jan 11 2015, 07:49 PM

I have a sore throat. Blah. And while it was a heat wave here (it got all the way up to the twenties! Yes, Fahrenheit) it's snowing. Again. Yippee. At least being unemployed means I don't have to go anywhere.

I maded me a website, too. http://jquail02.wix.com/authorjenniferquail

Nice bookmarked to read later, and I pick up a Kindle online your book.

We have one. We use to have two, not sure what happened to the second one. We are using that one and one that blows out hot air. It is the second one that goes non-stop and still not getting about 30 at night. I want to get a second radiator one or one large heater and replace the two we are using.

Moonlady · Jan 12 2015, 10:18 PM

Anareth, I've bookmarked the site for future reading. May you return to full health soon.

May everyone have a great week!
