You guys are going to think I'm manic-depressive or something, LOL! Bouncy one minute, despairing the next! Well, after some crazy intuitive runs at the problem, I FIXED THE PICTURE PROBLEM!!! I am like Jim Kirk playing chess with Spock: I come out of left field, LOL! Honestly, I probably could never figure out the logic of computer programming but if I sit there long enough, I just might come up with a solution that is not the result of logic, but totally left-field thinking. It's like doing math problems: the teachers always wanted to know how I got the solution. Honestly? Sometimes I had no idea, but I got the answer! :)

And you know what was best? My artist and ctbn60 went to all the trouble of fixing up some back-ups for me to help me out. DO YOU KNOW HOW FANTASTIC YOU GUYS ARE? *hugs* If I hadn't been able to figure things out I would have had back-ups and still do whatever happens.

Talk about karma! Someone even commented on The Thing That Ate Chicago, LOL!
