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.

Commented on and liked all. Favorited some and shared a few on mushbook.
Wow, there are so many new people to get to know! A hearty "Hi-ya" to everyone who doesn't know me. I've been long absent from participating in this thread, due to poor health, but my heart has been with so many friends here. I am sooooo glad to be back!
Cindy T- hope your friend feels better soon.
Judy- one of my Chihuahuas (all 3 lbs of her) sounds like your kitty when it comes to the vet. She's the sweetest girl you'd ever know but she puts on a big show and growls every time. She'd never bite though.
Linda B- sorry to hear about your leg. I hope PT helps in it's recovery.
Marv- congrats on 100 images! Beautiful chipmunk capture!
Joan- hope you had a successful garage sale!
Pam- don't know if you're reading this but, I'm praying for you! (((((hugs)))))
Stuart- sounds like you had an amazing time in Iceland...looking forward to seeing some great photos!
Lins- sorry to hear you had redbubble sales! Even sorrier I missed wishing you and Terri a goodnight!
Ellen- feel better luv!
Anne's Back- "loosen up" and give our Anne a break!

This is one of my 2 Chihuahua babies, Stella. This is the one, Judy.. the vet-growler-atter. She's actually been having some health issues lately and I think I see another trip to the animal hospital in her near future :(

Good evening!
Enjoyed my evening art stroll, nice to meet you Sarah!
Anne, I was wondering how you are enjoying your pressure cooker. I think you have me convinced to buy one. I noticed that Walmart sells the one you have and decided to check it out on my way home from work a couple days ago. They had a picture of it, but didn't see any in stock. But, what I did notice is that they have another one that is quite a bit like it. It's made by Farberware and it's also a 7 in 1 programmable, 6Qt size. And the best part, it's only $59! I'm thinking that there will soon be one sitting on our counter. :)
Have a great evening!

Judy, my latest kitchen gizmo is the NuWave oven. So far, I'm loving it.
Going to make it an early night. I'm just beat (think I need a vacation after this vacation). See y'all in the morning.

Study break, and time for an art walk. Went back 24hrs.
8 Years Ago
No. It will get used. Just learning the ins and outs of the NuWave though. Basically, it will depend on what I want to be cooking.

Ellen, Ellen, Ellen, I'm glad you're feeling a little better, but you need to rest. The laundry and house will be there waiting when you're up to it.
Had a lovely visit from my downstairs neighbor. We really hadn't gotten to know each other other than a hello in passing, so it was very nice to have some company.
Still haven't heard from Cole's foster mom. I have no clue what's going on.

Not fretting........ will give her thru the weekend and see what happens. I know she's working an adoption event this weekend. If it wasn't all the way over in Scottsdale, I'd take a drive over there, but that's further than I feel like driving right now.

Thanks Terri.
Sure looks like a dog is already living here with all the stuff I bought for him. LOL
