First, the picture has to be on the internet. There are a lot of photosharing sites like Photobucket (that's the one I use), Flickr, Webshots, etc.

The photo sharing site will give you a link you can use to post the picture. You have to use the "Post Reply to this Message!" instead of "Post QUICK Reply."

At the bottom, you will see three boxes:

URL/Link:

Link Title:

Image Link:

To post a picture, copy and paste the link for your picture in the "Image Link" box.

If you want to post a clickable link for a website, copy and paste the link in the "URL/Link" box, and you can put the name of the website in the "Link Title" box.

Hope this helps.

I really need some opinions.  So when it get's moved, please follow it over.

My son's school called me this morning to tell me that they have not yet received my son's transcripts from his the private school he attended last year.  The secretary at the new school tells me that she when she faxed her request for the records along with my signed release, the school only sent her my son's shot record and any other medical history they had on him and that was it.  They provided no explanation whatsoever.  When she called the old school, she was told that I have an outstanding tuition balance and they refuse to release his records until the balance is paid.

Regardless of whether or not I owe them money, can they legally do this?  I have tried to research this to no avail.  All I have found out is a court case in Louisiana where a judge ruled that a private school can refuse to release a student's records to the student's parents if they have not paid tuition, but that legally the school cannot keep the student's records from the student.  Wouldn't this be what the school is doing?  I am not the one requesting copies of my son's records, it is the public school district in which my son is a student that has requested the records.  I simply signed the release forms and gave them my son's proper identifying information, i.e. social security # and birth date so that the school district would be able to obtain his records.

I am very angry.  This private school and I have not seen eye to eye for quite some time on a number of different issues.  My son attended there only at the behest of my father-in-law who is a member of the church that owns the school.  My father-in-law offered to pay half the tuition if I let my son go there.  I agreed because it was a small private school and I felt that my son would benefit from the small class sizes and the "Christian" values.  However, over the  four years my son attended that school, I found that these values weren't so "Christian" after all.

I had trouble with the school "losing" my tuition payments a few times.  I am not the only parent that had this trouble.  A number of parents received collection calls saying we were behind on our tuition payments and that we needed to pay immediately or our children would not be allowed to attend; only to find that when I presented the school with a copy of my canceled check, the payments were simply not written down in the ledger and were called a "common bookkeeping error."  This happened on more than one occasion and I have contacted my former bank in search of the tuition payment they claim is missing now that has caused them to withhold my son's records.  There were also rumors of embezzelment within the church that owns the school.  Apparently the Pastor embesseled some money from the church to invest in real estate "for the church" and when the IRS starting sniffing around, there was a fall guy that the church refused to press charges on, and a number of church board members were given high paying, useless jobs at the school as a "thank you for keeping your mouths closed."  There are four principles and two superintendents at the school.  This is a school that has maybe 100 students total counting all students, K through 12th grade.  Why on earth do they need that many principles and superintendents?

So you see, there are some shady things going on in that school and I have to wonder if this isn't just another ploy to extort more money from me.  Which brings me back to my initial question, can they legally do this?  Even if I truly did owe them money, can they withhold my son's records from a public school district who requires those records in order to make sure my son is placed in the appropriate classes?  Should I contact a lawyer?

I am sooooooo mad right now, I can't even see straight! 

In response to the hub-bub about the illegal residents of our country and their lack of interest in learning to speak English - Just a few days ago, my kids got off the school bus and came running in the door in a panic.  One picks up the phone and starts dialing like crazy while the other proceeds to tell me what was going on.

A girl who lives up the road has severe asthma.  While she was on the bus, she started having an asthma attack and her inhaler was empty.  The kids were all trying to tell the bus driver that there was a problem and that the girl needed help. 

Turns out they had a substitute bus driver that day.  This guy speaks very little English and was yelling at the kids over and over again, "Must Go.  Must Go," and continued with his route, completely ignoring the fact that there was an obvious medical emergency on board his bus.

So my kids could not reach the girls parents by phone (busy) and since she still had a long, uphill walk after her bus stop, it was 7 degrees out (not helpful for an asthma attack,) and was in distress when my kids got off the bus,  we hopped in the car and went to get her to take her home. 

By the time we got to her, she was white as a ghost, purple lips, and about ready to pass out.  Her brother was practically dragging her.  Got her in the car and took her to her house where her dad met us. 

Makes me wonder how can a school employee NOT speak or at least understand English well enough to be able to handle situations like this?  What if she had lost consciousness on the bus or worse.  Sounds to me like he would have continued on with his route and maybe done something about it after he got back to the bus garage?

I have NO desire to see this movie, and I believe that it is just perpetuating and promoting what is going on in this county  -- I recently suffered a broken leg and went to THE "county hospital, i.e., Jackson Memorial, in Miami/Dade County  -- the ONLY reason that I even went there was because of the fact that my significant other did not understand that with my insurance through CHAMPUS that I could be seen at any or all hospitals in the Miami area  -- as a side note, the ONLY time that I have been "turned down" is at a Kaiser facility as far as being seen as a CHAMPUS patient.

CHAMPUS is the major insurance carrier that serves our military and their familes once the service member is honorably discharged, retires from active duty or dies in active combat or retired. 

What I endured at Jackson was little short of HORRENDOUS and I believe that if any of us were to be seen at a major medical facility, we would soon find this out.

Jackson Memorial is 1500 beds  -- I was initially seen in their "Extreme Care" section  -- I got there at 11:30 a.m. and was finally out of there at 11:30 p.m.  In the meantime, I walked down to their radiology department because the ignoramous P.A. did not put me in a wheelchair or crutches after I told him that the ankle area had been bruised for a week  even after I wrapped it, Epsom salts, ice packs etc  -- guess their attitude was "oh well"  -- sure enough, it was a fracture  -- they lost my records and with my second appointment it was from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to be seen in their "Trauma Clinic"  -- no docs, just residents,but tell you what, if you are of Hispanic descent, or poor  -- BOY do you get preferential treatment  -- needless to say, I am still in pain, with swelling, can't wear a shoe after the cast being off a week, and cannot get results  -- I called the ER a bit ago and told them that I was going to be seen at a real hospital and that they could take their treatment and stick it

Bottom line is that patient care has TRULY gone down the toilet, whether it be a nurse, doctor or ANY kind of healthcare professional.

.  My mom always worked outside the home after I was about 5.  Dad worked nights, so I was the designated cook and housekeeper.  Possibly the reason I despise housework today!

Hippies never scared me, most that I met were pretty cool.  What I meant was that while I thought the war was dumb, I was too young to be passionate enough to protest or anything like that.  Seeing Led Zeppelin as an opening act was worth it to be as old as I am now...well maybe not, but there's nothing I can do about my age except lie about it.

Test.  Made Avatar that picture.  If it does not show still would someone explain how to do that please 

or any other pet for that matter, when we move them onto someone else.   Is there a guarantee they will find a good home--or a home that gives them as much TLC as you do? 

I had a young cat that went right through my screen windows...I mean RIGHT THROUGH the darned screens to get outside and then used them to get back in!  Ruined at least 5 of them.  I thought about a cat door, but there are other critters out in these parts I do not want coming into the house to sneak a snack, so nixed that idea.  I tried to see if he'd like being a barn cat and staying outsite 24/7 with a nice warm barn to sleep and nope, he wanted in (hence the crashing through the screens).  He also shredded the rubber seals around both my doors. 

I could just pawn him off on a shelter in an area where feral cats are up the wazoo knowing there was a good chance he would be euthanized if not adopted within the 14-day limit, or give him away to some unknown person (tales of cats being used for coyote bait do exist up here), or put up with the destruction for however long he lived.

My little niece came up to visit from out of state one summer and fell in love with this PIA of a cat.  They were inseparable.  She asked her parents if they could take him home and they said yes.  I packed up his little kitty carrier with all his toys, some food, health records, and kissed him goodbye.  She sends me pictures and is always updating me with his antics.  He doesn't crash through their windows and follows my niece around like a puppydog.  It's been 3 years now and thankfully it all worked out beautifully.

If I were in your shoes, love him, and could guarantee a lifetime indoor home for him, I'd have him declawed.  The alternative could be much, much worse.

using their hands to sign the L on the forehead (as in LOSER) and send that to the police dept and the school administration.  Maybe that would get a message across.

(I know this should probably be on the main board, but could not see how to upload the image.)

THIS IS WHERE YOU CALL WHEN YOU HAVE TECHNICAL PROBLEMS.

          THIS IS INDIA......

I know you can also find stuffed animals that record messages.  I'm sure a sediment directly from your son using his "voice" would surely make her smile and know that she has done her job.  If I were a speech therapist, the sweetest thing to my ears would be your son's voice.  JMO.    

Inside the huge cage, was a big pig (animal) and the man's wife sitting/squatting right next to the pig......

THIS is HOW THESE types of men treat their women..........

Everyday I'm glad I was born and raised in the USA and believe me I thank GOD DAILY for that....
