I'm back! Skinner helped me and I emailed him beseeching his help and he did!

No more ads! No more frustration!

Now I can post instead of just reading.

Whew! That's a relief!

1. Good to hear it, yank!

I didn't know you'd been absent!

I'll begin my return home tomorrow, from visit with daughter and grands in NJ, so I'll be able similarly to write "I'm back!"

3. I missed DU terribly. All I could do is read. I couldn't start a thread or reply to one.

Love those darling grandkids of yours (that you post on Facebook)!

5. Welcome back!

6. good to have you back!

I take it you've been out since the darkness fell.
Don't know what I would be doing if I was shut out like that. Couldn't even handle the few days it was down.

7. I'm back too

I've been gone like 14 years... couldn't remember my password but finally got another one with a different email address. I missed the hacking episode but heard about it on a conspiracy site.

11. Welcome back, talkinghand!

8. So good to see you again! I was just thinking about you and your art...

If you can get the LA Times online, go to Sunday's Section A, pages 26 and 27. There is a magnificent 2 page cartoon called the Court of Donald I, based on Goya's "Charles IV of Spain and His Family." Steve Brodner is the artist. I think you will find it a hoot.

Welcome back.

10. Will do. I did an essay here on Goya. Interesting guy. He had spikes put on his hat so he could

fit candles on it to help him do his painting at night. He did a self portrait of himself painting in that hat...
