oh Susan I was just joking. I thought you were also hahahahahahaa SMILE and be happy. This is FUN...HUGS ANYBODY has any questions ..PLEASE ask....ALWAYS! ha ha not sure if I can answer it Dorothy. What do you mean? All the words on the collage used at least once? OK let me see if I can clarify the mistery: I made a collage with 25 pictures. Each picture has a name on what you see in the picture. YOUR job is to find the right word to each picture. You only have to write a word ONCE!! Then next time you post, you can use totally new words. Your goal is to get as many words matching the collage words as possible by the 18th. I keep track of the correctly guessed words of each one of you. Tonight I will tally up the scores after everone has posted...speack midnight lol. Just not sure how often you all wanna here the scores??? I do not want to discourage the players that did not guess a lot yet ;-) But like MJ when she guessed on the Frosty, she got a lot of other words just by guessing in that direction ...hint hint hahaha I will be back later Just to make sure nobody has any questions and FUN FUN FUN ...under the sun or snow or rain? Geeeeeee I rather have snow right now then rain. ta ta Lucy

What makes it SLR style? The body? Yes. It's the body style. No that not quite it. D-SLR uses a mirror to reflect the picture inside the camera. The mirror swings up and the shutter opens and the picture is projected onto the image sensor. With a regular point-and-shoot - the image is constantly projected. That is why you can use the view screen on the back to focus and take your picture. You cannot use the viewscreen on the back of the D-SLR to take your picture on some D-SLR. You have to look through the viewfinder. Some of the newer high end D-SLR have Live View Unless you REALLY want a DSLR - the point and shoots are so nice. Much easier to use - and so much less to lug around. I think the deciding factor would be: AUTO If you are a person who sets the camera on AUTO - get a point and shoot...if you like the manual settings - go for a D-SLR. Remember with an Olympus - you will need XD cards. They are not hard to find, but the are not as common as the SD.

OK - I tried uploading directly from my camera to Photobucket - and you cannot do that. DANG! Here is an easy way to upload your pics to a computer (you never need to use the camera software - I really dislike Kodak especially, but if you are comfortable with it, that is ok) Plug your camera in to the computer, or place card into card reader. Go to MY COMPUTER and find the device. Double click on it and your images should pop up. You may see them as thumbnails, tiles, icons, or list - depending on how your computer is set...you can always change that. Click on the first image you want to copy - then hold down the shift key and select the last image you want to copy - this will select all of them in between also. Right click and select copy. Go to the Desktop of the computer. Right click on a blank area and mouse over NEW-> go over to FOLDER and click on that to create a new folder. You can rename it when you create it or just leave it named NEW FOLDER (it doesn't matter). Double click on the folder to open. Right click and select PASTE. Your photos will be zipping into this folder! You can upload to Photobucket like normal from there. This will NOT remove the pictures from your camera card. Delete your folder when you are done. DON'T forget your card if you have removed it from your camera!! You can create the desktop folder at any time - you also don't have to have it located on the desktop - but this would be easiest while you are traveling so you don't forget to delete. You should be able to practice this at home. If you can't shut down the Kodak program - just let it do it's thing - then try it after it has finished. Or try it at a library. The little thumb drives (USB drives) and camera memory cards are the same thing - just in a different package. An external hard drive is just like a thumb drive, just bigger. THumb drives are so easy to lose! They are just the handiest things - but they go missing for me all the time.... Buy some extra cards before you travel. Try them out before you go. Format them in your camera first!! They are cheap and you can NEVER EVER take too many pictures :) If this doesn't make sense at all -I can post screen shots later (probably tomorrow)

Not ... ... a ... ... one! My three cameras seemed to disappear when I was housing a foster kid, something over 20 years ago, and I've never replaced them. Son has one of the kind that takes pictures on both front-side and back-side ... ... but he didn't get it operational. Will have to put a flea into his ear, about that one. Daughter, nearing 50, hasn't lost her vivacity ... but has developed a wrinkle or two ... don't tell her that I told you, O.K.? Doesn't seem fair, does it? On the part of what was a fresh-faced kid? o j
