Please, PRAY for CARMENMBONILLA! She lives in Los Angeles and might be in danger from the terrible wildfires there. Carmen's niece and her husband lost their home in Altedena to the Eaton wildfire. Please pray for Carmen's safety!

PS. As you know, we are not able to post new wallpapers at this time. This wallpaper is one I created in 2017 and have rededicated to the people in California. Here is the live link to it:

Dance Me to the End of Love - Amy McConnell & William Sperande

Pavane for the New Year by Elder James Olson

Soul, plucking the many strings

Of my limbs like puppet’s, make them dance,

Dance, dance, in somber joy,

That after all the sullen play

The old world falls, the new world forms.

A thought like music takes us now,

So like, that every soul must move,

Move in a most stately measure,

And souls and bodies tread in time

Till all the trembling towers fall down.

And now the stones arise again
Till all the world is built anew

And now in one accord like rhyme,

And we who wound the midnight clock

Hear the clock of morning chime.

from Poetry Magazine, December 1948

Manger
by Irene Latham

I am but simple timber,
stripped of bark
and fastened by nails,
softened by a fluff of hay.

But I can show you
the strength of a forest,
the hope of water
and the resurrection of light.

Each day your hands will grow.
May they fashion a world
where even the most unloveable
are loved.

Michael Bubl? - Grown Up Christmas List.
https://youtu.be/HfH_rfEe-F0?si=yDFM3IT5MaYUAIkr

So here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself, but for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Every man would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list

Hi Carla,

I just uploaded this Froggie Spam wallpaper a few hours ago. As I said in the description, it is a much wilder variation of a wall I uploaded in September of 2019. (That original wall is currently a 404, but you can see it on page 6 of my uploads.)

While we're waiting for this wallpaper site to get fixed, not many of us are uploading walls, so the spammers are having a field day! I for one, would rather that they did not. I have voted down every spam wallpaper I can find, and I've found a lot.

It is very satisfying to vote down their walls. Would you like to join in the fun? I have a list of nearly 100 spam wallpaper links that I can PM to you. I was going to list them in this post, but if I did that, your profile page would get extremely distorted.I tried doing that on my profile page... don't want to inflict it on yours!

You could also go to the home page and choose the "freshness" link. The spam wall list that I have goes from page 1 to page 9. But it's a lot quicker to use my direct links. This website is as slow as molasses right now, but my links zoom you straight to the spammy wallpaper.

So, if you want to downvote a bunch of spam walls, let me know. I'll be happy to email you my link list. I would so love to see negative 10's or more on these spam walls! (I hope that as this website continues to be repaired, they will also repair the Spam report option!)

Another way to fight the spam is to thin it out-- by uploading some new wallpapers, if you are not doing that already! This froggie is the first wallpaper that I've uploaded since the website got weird about 2 weeks ago. I was surprised and delighted to find out that the uploaded wallpapers DO appear in your collection. They just don't show up on your front profile page-- unless you pick one of your newly uploaded walls to display in the large space.

Well, I've said plenty already. I hope you are doing well. I have been logging in to this website almost every day, but not doing that much until now. How ironic it is that I get very active once the website gets messed up. lol

PS. I wouldn't mind at all if you voted my froggie up. I've posted him on a bunch of spammer profile pages, and I will continue to do so as I find more spammers-- so I figure that he may be getting some down votes from them.

Thanks for reading this novelette ... cheers!

Elaine

PS. One thing that I am noticing: when I copy the forum code to post these wallpaper images, there is info printing out with the images that states the wallpspers number and that it is a URL. The images that post on the profiles don't seem to be "live" either; if you click on them they don't go to the original wallpaper. Interesting...

Posted by CollieSmile 11/15/24 at 8:11pm

Woo-hoo! My wallpapers are showing up when I click on them from June 29, 2012 (my very first wallpaper on DN) through June of 2019!

They aren't 404's any longer. It is so cheering to see the progress that is being made!

I've also noticed that people are uploading new wallpapers also. I may give that a try myself, if my ornery sore back permits me to...
