I can't post pictures

As usual, blogger is not letting me post pics. The photos are ftp'ed to the site through the upload (I host elsewhere, not in blogger) and then the snippet of code in the edit window fails to appear, so, they can't be seen. It's irritating. I did some scouring, did what I was told (switch browsers, clear caches) and no dice. Since I host elsewhere, I'm willing to port this somewhere else, but I don't know what's good (and what will be user-friendly to our mac people). I want something easy and that works. Stop laughing.

Customer loyalty

Just before Christmas, UPS delivered a package to our house from our cell-phone company, a box large enough to hold 3 or 4 books. I hadn't ordered anything, so figured it had to be a prize from one of those contests you unwittingly enter simply by going about your daily business.

However, underneath a bunch of air-cushion packing material was...a sheet of paper thanking me for continuing to be a loyal customer.

It came with a return label, which I thought about using, but didn't seem worth the bother.
