CSS issues

I have a css question. You can see in the post below this one that both the photos are over to the right. They have the attribute class=”alignright”. Now I wanted one on the left, and one on the right, but when I did that, the one on the left didn’t have the pretty purple border. I’ve looked at the code, and the alignright and alignleft are exactly the same except for the margin placement. Either I need some nutritional supplements to improve my vision to some to improve my mental processing, because I am totally not understanding this. Any ideas? Here’s the code:

img.alignleft {
float: left;
display: inline;
margin: 0px 7px 2px 0px;
padding: 4px
border: 1px solid #996699;
background-color: #666699;
}

img.aligncenter {
padding: 4px;
border: 1px solid #996699;
background-color: #666699;
text-align: center;
}

img.alignright {
float: right;
display: inline;
margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
padding: 4px;
border: 1px solid #996699;
background-color: #666699;
}

Yesterday, I was trying to type up homeschooling posts for Mothering Many, and I had the stack of books I was referring to, the one I was writing in, plus the laptop, and things were overlapping, and I was straining to reach stuff, and also publishing with way too many typos. I hate that! I’ve already justified the laptop as something I “needed”, and I am wondering if I could pass off one of these modern desks as a necessary expense. In truth, I like the circular receptionist desk the best, but I am afraid it would be so tall that it would intimidate the kids. Those things intimidate me, LOL!

Morning Musings 8/23/07

I didn’t get over here and post before I got started this morning, I just dug right in. Essentially I am married to this desk today. I haven’t gotten a ring, yet, but I expect it any minute now. I’m really, really, really, really wanting the lesson plans finished so I can move on to something else. Like, I dunno cleaning the house?? Fun times, huh?

Ok, KISS
lesson plans

And then, I’ll let this desk know I want a divorce, diamond ring or not!

Divine Caroline

I spent a few minutes at a new (to me) website this morning. (Umm, yes, if you are reading by feed, it was necessary, LOL! If you aren’t, then you’ll understand when you read the entry before this one.) The website is DivineCaroline, and it’s by women for women. In fact, we the users get to be actively involved in creating the site. I haven’t even begun to explore it all, but I know they have forums, and the site covers a wide variety of subjects. You find Parenting Tips and Advice, but you’ll also find Style and Fashion Advice, too. Grab a cuppa, and go visit. I really like the idea behind the site, and enjoyed my short stay, so I figured some of you might like it to. Make sure you hit the About DivineCaroline page to see why I got so excited. I’ll try to meet you there when I get my to do list checked off!

What is one thing you would really regret not doing at some point in your life?
If you had to, how would you describe yourself in a personal ad?
What is one thing that you “know for sure”?

Hmm, this is a weird set of questions for me, and the only thing that kept me from skipping it is my determination to get my blogging back on track combined with the fact that I have missed doing this meme for several weeks.

I try to live without regrets. The one thing I am not doing that I want to do is travel, and I hop eot do that eventually, so I guess that will have to be my answer, even though I have very excellent reasons fro not traveling at this time.

HA! Umm, “you won’t believe it until you see me”???? I have no idea. Really.

The one thing I know for sure is that my Redeemer lives and that in my flesh I shall see God

Hmmph

Boy is my face red! I was asked to talk about intranet software, and I had no idea what it was. BUT! I did know where to ask, and was very kindly directed to wiki for some excellent information (thanks J.E). So! Now I can tell you that an intranet is like a tiny little internet for your office. And also that epazz is offering 30 Day free trial of their software and that they will help you set it up so that the information needs of your company are met. And now I have explained all I know about this. Still not much huh? I am beginning to think my brain ran on nicotine, ya’ll ๐Ÿ™

Just say no.

I remember Nancy Reagan and her “just say no” campaign back in the 80s. Am I dating myself? I guess it doesn’t much matter since I tell you right up there in the tagline that I am almost 40. Closer and closer, even, since Friday is the big day. As an aside, the kids were just watching America’s Got Talent, and they had some break dancers on. Country looked at me and said “they usually do that on the streets with no mats”, as if she were telling me something I didn’t know. Ha, yeah. I took her to school right quick. Umm, oops. Sidetracked again. Back to Nancy.

Just say no probably works real well to avoid drugs in the first place. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that it’s a real nice plan, and a sure-fire method. But what do you do once you’ve said yes, and find yourself in the grip of a demon? As I have struggled with quitting cigarettes this past couple of weeks, I have been near crazy at certain points, yelling at my family, stomping around like an overgrown toddler, and just a real laugh riot, a joy to be around. Or you know, not, depending on your perspective. It is an incredibly difficult pit to crawl out of. And while you may think I am making a mountain out of a molehill, I am prepared to tell you that statistically, it is more difficult to stay off cigarettes than heroin. Just think about that for a few minutes.

Ok! So, let’s get back to what I am actually supposed to be discussing here, which is drug addiction and drug treatment. Whatever your issue, from prescription drug addiction to alcohol and any substance addiction in between, the folks at 1800nodrugs want to help you find addiction treatment. They specialize in finding treatment options for your specific circumstances. The service is free to you.

I understand how the mind of an addict works, at least a little bit. My drug was legal, and so that spared me from some things, but it was still a drug. I truly believe that part of the reason I have had so many revelations about myself lately is that I have been engaging myself more as I dealt with my addiction. Thinking about what made me tick, letting myself inside my head. And can I just say that inside my own head is sometimes a scary place to be? I’ve got a long road ahead, because even though the physical addiction is mostly broken now, the mental and emotional addiction will take quite a bit longer to tackle, and there are no treatment centers for nicotine addiction that I know of.
