How can one make a hole inside a liquid? Hmm---

This picture looks pretty acrobatic. Gets you thinking.
How about this one?

Nice...
that picture was actually me again. She had me trapped and I actually lifted her up for the video. Makes it look like she flew up and caught me by the face!

Mighty man, krafty hands. Reminds of classic sculptures.

This afternoon.

They are there, now, for your eager tongue to touch and for your hungry lips to kiss.

Wanted to give you another, but it seems they disallowed attachments
Guess it was fun while it lasted.

It happened to me before, server error. But I kept trying.
If still not working, you may contact support, because I am sure they will help and fix.
Cannot wait to see your new 'attachment'

The copyright laws are really strict and it's not that attachments aren't allowed, but you must own the copyright to the photos posted.

This is correct. I own my pics because they are my own. And there are meme-type pics that may go under fair use on social media, but this is quite a grey area. Better safe than sorry.

Most people really don't know what is or isn't allowed. SC will not allow you to upload any image unless you own the copyrights.

Because Charms are family as far as I am concerned, and we have all lost dear friends here on S.C., and having seen their works abused, years ago I did the research.

"Fair Use" can be contested as it allows for brief excepts and limited use/amount- think 6 seconds of a song- under "certain circumstances". It may be contestable in court.

Some people try to claim "public domain" but the term applies only to materials that cannot be protected by copyright. Something that is owned by the public at large and ineligible for copyrights like news, history, facts, or ideas.

Copyrights regarding images - they belong to the photographer under the Federal Copyright Act of 1976. Photographs are automatically protected by copyright from the moment of creation. So cropping the license statement or .com off does not negate copyright nor does it remove the culpability for violating the law.

According to the U.S. Copyright Office, the owner of the “work” is the photographer or, in certain situations, the employer of the photographer.

Copyrights last for life, so when a model "retires" she still owns the copyrights. When the copyright owner passes, the copyrights revert to his or her family for an additional 70 years.

Bottom line, if you did not take the image or obtain a contract from the person who did take it signing over the copyrights to you, you don't own the copyright and you can be fined for up to $150,000 per image for using it.

That sounds scary,
lucky me that I have a lifetime contract with my photographer, same family, same house, etc.
Thank you for presenting the specifics, to whom it may concern.
