If you don't have a copy of it, is there something you can find similar to it to save to your computer?

ah, the voice of reason...

Hello All, I am just jumping in at the deep end here because I don't have anything else better to do at this time of the night/morning. I've checked out the 'Popular' ; 'New Topics' ; 'New Posts' and that is how I found this place.
Can anyone tell me what sort of philosophying gets done here? I don't think I ever gave much consideration or thought to philosophy. Did I miss anything? Do I philosophise without knowing I am doing it?

This looks awfully difficult and complicated. Maybe I had better find some place less complicated.
the dictionery states : philosophy:
1. the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct.
2. any of the three branches, namely natural philosophy, moral philosophy, and metaphysical philosophy, that are accepted as composing this study.
3. a system of philosophical doctrine: the philosophy of Spinoza.
4. the critical study of the basic principles and concepts of a particular branch of knowledge, esp. with a view to improving or reconstituting them: the philosophy of science.
5. a system of principles for guidance in practical affairs.
6. a philosophical attitude, as one of composure and calm in the presence of troubles or annoyances.
Oh well, at least this little exercise killed a few more minutes and now I reckon I had better try and get some shut-eye. Best of luck everyone. I will pop in now and again to see how this place progresses. And I might learn more than I bargained for. Drillersmum from Down Under.

Great to see you, another one accounted for, what was the link you sent me?

Hello.

So, the different formatting tags here on A2K should be above the box you type in to post or reply. These tags are always in brackets and begin with the simple command in brackets, and end with a '/command' in brackets.

If you don't see any buttons above your reply box, hit the 'Open BBCode Editor' button.

Let's go through all of them - these have additional spaces in them for demonstration purposes only.

Bold - [ b]insert text to be bolded [ /b]

Italics - [ i]insert text to be italicized[ /i]

Underline - [ u]insert text to be underlined [ /u]

Big or small text [ size=#] insert text number and text to be made larger or smaller. The button up top handles this easily. [ /size]

It will get better, much much better, hold on tight, I will not let you go.

Yes Soul Brother when you figure it out please tell me,
How did you get your avatar up?

You too sun. the link was for a youtube video that (as evident) I could not work out how to post, though one of the members here kindly posted it for me following my post, I think it is now in page 4.

Hello to you, Dave Allen.

Welcome to Able2Know.

Great to still have you

and welcome to you, sometime sun

It's always good to have new people to interact with here. Your group seems to have an interesting range of mmm, well, interests

Hey all. Just checking in. Lots different than what we're used to. Good to see everyone here and checking in. Hope you all give this place a chance. I know Robert has been working on it quite a bit.

This is going to take some getting used to that's for sure. Tea anyone?

Thank you Cycloptichorn for your kind and informative help. It is very hospitable of you and much appreciated. Just one question, with the insert image link how did you get my avatar on there? did you just copy and paste it into the insert image link? can this be done only to avatars or all pictures?

Thank you again.

Right on the first try - just right-clicked and copied your image location, then pasted it in the tags. You can do it with practically any image.

Alright fine a stopped watch is right at least twice a day.
