I,m getting hot ....down under .

My sister in-law just e-mailed me this picture .

What picture?

Oh, I get it. There is no picture and that is the joke in the "Fun & Jokes" section?

What picture????????????

the picture doen't develop on the CC page LG .I,m trying ......not to good with the computer.

Hhahahaha,Maybe you can help, how can I transfer a picture from an e-mail onto the pages of the forum ? Perhaps it's simple but I'm having one hell of a time doing it ,thanks. China .

China, I don't know how to do that either... I would save the pic to my pc, then upload it to photobucket, then post it from there.

Zan has a reasonable solution.

China, the photo you want to upload is on your computer. I can tell because the path you posted refers to your C: drive. To post a personal photo you need to get it onto a server. It won't post from your computer.

I recommend this free site: --

Just upload. Right click on the photo, once its on their server, and check properties. Where it says file path (it should look like a url) copy and past that into your forum post.

trying to post the picture

Yep, that would be a joke right up China's alley.

A joke about a fire where over 200 people lost their lives and several towns were decimated sure would be a hoot. Only if it happened in China or to China.

Hey, China; Here's some pics, you trolling dummy

HUNDREDS of firefighters were still working last night to contain a 30,000ha fire burning near Yackandandah, which had claimed two lives and destroyed 14 homes.
Just after 1am yesterday strong winds pushed one flank of the blaze across the Yackandandah Dederang Rd and a lightning strike at midday sparked a fresh blaze 12km from the small town of Kergunyah.
More than 440 firefighters, including CFA, DSE and NSW and ACT crews, worked through the night building containment lines to hold another fire front that had jumped the Kiewa River and was threatening the towns of Eskdale and Gundowring.

DSE Ovens operations manager Shaun Lawson said crews were working to control a large blaze burning near Mudgegonga -- the same deadly fire that ripped through a dozen homes on Sunday morning killing local builder John Wilson and his wife, Sue.
Residents said they heard a deafening roar as the fast-moving blaze travelled through the gullies and over a ridge in the early hours of yesterday morning.
A CFA worker is believed to have lost his house as he helped others protect theirs.
"It is such a big fire with huge perimeters," Mr Lawson said.
"It's not under control, but there is moderate fire behaviour due to low temperatures and lows winds.
"We have worked hard to build many containment lines and are getting close."
Mr Lawson said the highest fire threat was to Eskdale, but nearby towns Kergunyah, Dederang, Gundowring, Kancoona, Coral Bank and Running Creek were on alert.
Fire was also engulfing pine plantations only 8km from Myrtleford, the edges of which were still not contained.
"The fire is mainly burning in parkland and pine plantations close to Myrtleford and Stanley," Mr Lawson said.
At nearby Barwidgee Creek and Mudgegonga residents returned to salvage what was left after a deadly twister fire ripped through the valley early Sunday morning.
Described as an airborne fireball, the indiscriminate blaze killed John and Sue Wilson as they struggled to protect their house.
Down the road, Dolorez and Sam Crisci returned yesterday to the smouldering remains of their Barwidgee Creek home after Mr Crisci decided to flee in the pitch-black night on Saturday.
"Glass was cracking and the roof was on fire, so I made a run for it," Mr Crisci, 61, said.
"I can't believe I am alive."
Dazed and confused, Mr Crisci said he drove around in circles before finding the road and driving towards safety.
His neighbours also lost their house, but were lucky to escape after they drove their car into a tree as they drove blinded by smoke and fire.
The Fraser family used the farm bulldozer to stop a fire engulfing their house near Bruarong yesterday afternoon.
"It came up like a Hollywood twister," Mal Fraser said.
"It was a fireball and sounded like four or five jumbo jets flying up the hill."
The Frasers lost an aunt and three cousins in a bushfire at Longwood in 1976, and said that they knew only too well the fear and pain of a lethal inferno.
