And now that I have a digital camera, I promise to participate.

I've been meaning to buy one. Tips, anyone?

Could you fix your slogan or motto or whatever that "Spree is dead people!" thing is? Every time I see it, I think of Charleton Heston running around yelling "soylent green is people!!"

Funny, I think of Phil Hartman impersonating Charlton Heston. It's made out of people!!! The sequels were even funnier.

Actually when I see paigow's sig line, I think of "I see dead people."

No, try to get the whole breast. It's "breasticle day", not "nipple day".

I assume this was a typo and you meant to type "TITS!!!!, anyone?" or "Nips, anyone?". Am I correct?

Until you blow out a knee.

Or hit an open car door.

It scares me when we have similar thoughts. You know, because we are so much alike in other ways.:shrug:

No, I want to buy a digital camera, and -- other than TITS! in the little window on it -- I have no idea what to look for.

edited to say:
Apparently I need to start drinking my coffee this morning.

Did I do this already?

Free trips to Hawaii, Ireland, Bermuda, and more
The catch: you gotta convince others to foot the bill, and they make you run 26.2 miles once you get there. As the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s literature would have it, “Honolulu is only 26.2 miles away.” The thing is, you have to run the whole way. The non-profit sends hundreds of participants to marathons, half- marathons, triathalons, and century bike rides in fun locations—Hawaii, Bermuda, New Orleans, Ireland—and offers anyone who wants to participate free airfare and accommodations, plus professional training for the four or five month lead-up to the trip. Your job: raising funds to help fight cancer.

So do something good with your obsession and get a free trip.


run to hawaii

Oddly enough, I got hit by a car and blew out my knee - permanent damage. My knee twitches each time the "should old people have an unconditional right to drive" argument comes up.

Rugs are usually woven, not knitted. Weaving is fun - it can be comforting in a zen-like way, like knitting. I would recommend.

But usually crafty dreams mean you need to create something - you are just feeling a deep-seated creative urge for whatever reason. Some say that a dream of knitting or sewing or making stuff means you want to have a baby because that's like the ultimate creation. But you don't have to read that much into it.

Thank you. As usual I think you are right on. I have been having a midlife crisis thinking that my creative skillz are rotting away as I toil my life away in the law. But it is definitely the creative skillz as in arts and entertainment, not creating babies bc I have also been thinking (and I am sure many of you might be relieved) that perhaps I do not want to have a baby. Of course this is bc I recently spent a week in a house with a two year old who only just stopped breastfeeding and still does not sleep through the night and is spoiled rotten. It scared the flying fuck out of me- O get to give up my life, my relationship and my sleep to cater to the every whim of some tyrannical shortie- doesnt sound so good right now. Maybe I should just be an animal breeder or something.

but thanks- that was great bc I have been giving both things a lot of thought lately. Often when I am running

I know.

It's like we were separated at birth.

That's never happened to me when running, only when riding my bicycle to work. Just a few spectacular tumbles, no lasting injuries. No more riding to work for me.

No, I was not going the wrong way down a one-way street.

A few months ago I bought a Canon Elph S400. The Elph series has always recieved very good ratings, both from consumers and groups like Consumer Reports. It takes terrific pics, is small, and even takes 2 minutes of movies with sound, which are not choppy.

I would recommend immediatly purchasing a large memory flashcard. I bought a 256 mb card and took almost 300 pictures plus some videos on a recent trip, and only used about half the card.

Shop around for prices, but check here . (Just be careful about when you order so that you don't get camera-flavoured cardboard)

Couldn't be though. I am not older than dirt.
