OT-kinda, cameras
Comments (10)I also use a Panasonic Lumix FZ30 and purchased extra macro lenses for up close and personal shots of eggs. Works great for a 12x zoom camera. Love the LCD screen flips out and rotates every which way. Also bought a Sony DSC-H9 earlier this year. Couldn't resist the lure of a 15x Carl Zeiss lens. Works quite well and has a pretty good macro mode. Still want to get suitable macro lenses for closer detail shots. Am still trying to get used to it. It is really lightweight (I got used to the heaviness of the Lumix). Great sized LCD screen but it doesn't rotate...just flips out and up/down. Don't like the fact that the camera button for mode settings moves too easily. Any slight brush with your thumb move the wheel to another setting. Has a great zoom for viewing photos and of course, the detail on the photos are fantastic. You can really zoom in on an uploaded photo without distorting the pixels. It also has a night shot feature which I've tested but haven't found any good subjects to photograph. Kind of dream of being on an African safari and photographing lions on their night kills :o) ROLF (Will be attending some Blacklight Moth-ing treks in October so will definitely be trying it out then) Oh...and I had to purchase a separate multi-bay card reader since the dratted Sony H9 camera card doesn't work on my computer. Didn't want to hassle with having to connect the USB cord to the camera everytime I had to download photos. I still take both cameras out into the field with me. Usually leave the Panasonic Lumix in the car and bring that out only if I find caterpillars or eggs I want to photograph with the macro lense attachments. ~ Cat...See MoreOne word to tattoo on your body - Kinda OT
Comments (73)There was always a way to rebel when one was at that age. I think though, that it's getting harder when there's so much more "anything goes" these days. It seems every time the rebels go to extremes, the extremes become more mainstream or at least familiar enough to no longer be shocking. Back when I was growing up, a rebel only needed to grow his hair long...the longer, the more rebellious. I recall what a todo was created when the "mop head" Beatles first came on the scene. I mean their hair was actually quite short and they wore suits and ties for goodness sake! I'm not sure what kids will do next to rebel...I mean tats are common, pants can't go any lower...they even make suspenders to keep the pants from falling completely down, skirts and shorts have already been shorter than short, make-up has already gone totally goth with black eyes and lips, hair has already been every color of the rainbow and gelled to the sky, earlobes have been stretched, tongues have been split, genitalia have been pierced and ringed. I honestly don't know what's next. I remember back in the hippy days, my FIL, a prof, who was very matter of fact with his students, would comment on their long hair and baggy bell bottoms and say, "You know, if you want to get attention, you don't have to go through all that effort....you could just walk around with your fly open." (Please don't misinterpret...I'm not suggesting all tats are a statement of rebellion.)...See MoreUm...is there something in the air or the water? kinda OT
Comments (151)I too have been on this forum for several years and at times more active than at other times. There are some wonderfully talented people on this site who are so giving of their time and talents it can almost be hard to believe. When those threads about layout and such are posted, I do not respond because I know that I have nothing to offer especially compared to the expertise that others have here. At other times though, I have often thought when typing a post "Have I included too much of my personal thoughts into this and made it about me?" So I hope that I am not one of those all about me posters. I do know the question in the OP comes up around once a year at least. I actually saw one earlier today when looking for another old post. So I guess one could say that the overall mood here ebbs and flows like the tide or like the waters of the sea, genteel at one moment and stormy at another. It could have something to do with the moon or seasons perhaps? As far as the appliance forum, I have to say I have learned a great deal from there. So much so that when I was seriously looking at appliances I more often than not knew more than the salesperson, and when I would start asking questions that displayed their ineptitude most were ready to lose me as a customer no matter the cost. I cannot say however that I have swam in those waters by posting, and I certainly don't know enough to offer any valuable information over what's being given already.

Comments (7)alku05, I just looked at your post in the decorating forum. I would suggest once you get some feedback to try again in the BAH forum, as you suggest above. It looks right up the alley of a lot of posters over there and I think you'd get some good advice. I'm going back to study your plans in decorating again......See MoreRelated Professionals
