Because you sure are not hanging around here today...

So who is going to post funny and interesting things to keep me entertained today....

I'm sitting here with nothing to do again.

We were going to go look at a camera a guy has for sale on Craigs list. But now we have to wait until tomorrow.

I have an Olympus Camedia , only 3.2megapix this one is a Camedia Stylist 6.0 megapix. He's only asking 65.00 for it...

Anyone have one and can tell me anything about it.

I've had my camera for about 5 years. And I've liked it...

No, I can't tell you anything about the camera, but I was wondering how your finger was doing?

Hi Leslie...

the finger still isn't healed. It wasn't a very long cut, but it was really deep...It is beginning to close. I was afraid the "flap" of skin would die and I'd grow a big lumpy scar right there.

I still keep it wrapped in a Bandaid. Just to keep it from catching on something and opening it again.

Still hurts if I bump it.

This time next week I will probably have forgotten it.

thanks for asking....

did ya find your keys?

I must have Pomegranates, but is this a good place to plant them?

Take flowering twig (with permission) of dogwood or good photos of flowering tree (including close views) to local outlets to get same or similar variety. I thought you were the same party that put the figs out in the open, and was also I thought located near Woodland or Vancouver where you would have the Sunset Climate Zone 6 (Willamette Valley) climate. If that is true, since pomegranates grow for years here in the cooler Sunset Climate Zone 5 of Pugetopolis, you should be able to get acceptable results there where it is hotter in summer - as long as winter minimums stay high enough. The one at the Klager garden has probably been there for decades, perhaps occasionally freezing down but coming back each time. In Zones 5, 6 and 17, where pomegranate grows and blooms but may not fruit, locate against south or west wall. Tolerates a wide variety of soils, growing well even in alkaline soil. Resistant to oak root fungus. Can take considerable drought but produces better fruit with regular moisture --Sunset Western Garden Book (2007, Sunset Publishing, Menlo Park) Wonderful Hot summers are needed to fully ripen the large fruit. In the Pacific Northwest, with good drainage it will grow outdoors. However to ripen fruit, grow it in a pot and bring it inside in the late fall.

Anyone having a good weather summer?

I for one will not be complaining about winter this year. I welcomed the snow last year, too. The northwest suburbs of Chicago are hell on earth right now. This morning my husband called me from the parking lot of a golf course in the south suburbs, to report it was raining. He thought he was being supportive. I reminded him that the winds were blowing from the west and all those rains would bypass us. We haven't had a decent rain since July 3rd, and even that wasn't a good soaking rain. I can't tell you how much I hate this season. I just want it to be over. This weekend I'm going to pull out most of the annuals and begin cutting back some very sad coneflowers and rudbeckias. I've already cut back the shastas.

This crazy weather-it must be spring?
Q

You're right, this has been some crazy weather and then this morning we actually got a little rain. Not enough to water the plants but about the right amount to make blowing dust stick onto our cars! We finally got our chicken fence built so the space I had to leave available for the concrete truck is now available for making a couple of small vegetable beds. The boys used block to lay out one 4 x 8 bed and my little seed grown tomatoes will finally have a home if I can get some horsey byproduct worked in. Maybe I'll scrape out the chicken coop and use some of that too. We finally got rid of the monstrous canary date palm from the front of our house. The landscaper I gave it to had a crew here two days digging it out and another half day with a crane to get it up and onto a truck. You know what they say, one person's trash is another's treasure.

HeHe, Melvalena, your DH is doing the same thing mine did. Never gardened, never cared, as long as he could get the mower in to cut the grass. That, and the pecan trees- both are "man things". Then came 'The Change'. Now, he gardens big time, has his own pepper garden, trades, buys, sells, seeds by the hundreds (or maybe more), grows the hottest peppers in the world, and some that are very unusual- also very pretty. He tends roses, digs all the big holes for me, advises me on siting plants, and sows seeds of all kinds in the most surprising places. ("Is that a pepper I spy in my rose garden?") But is is usually variegated and very pretty, whatever it is. The only thing he doesn't do is pull weeds, unless it is in the pepper bed. It is a lovely change, all things considered. We enjoy the gardens, and it is a relief that he now knows what a lot of things are and how to deal with them. RoundUp is no longer his best friend. There is hope. Janie, who is sorry, did not mean to hijack this thread.

No, I'm still looking for them. I'm going to send an e-mail to the airport in Ontario, CA. Maybe they jiggled out of my purse when I sent it through the metal detector.

I guess we have some hot air around here, for it's disposed of most of the snow that we got a couple of days ago ...

... but there's residue from the time before still hanging around.

I made the first trip to town in about three weeks, yesterday - so it was more or less a red-letter day.

I may be wrong, but I don't think the Stylist has much of a zoom. My first digital camera was an Olympus super-zoom with 3.2 MP. I still use it sometimes. It takes awesome pictures, and I have some enlarged to 8x10 and framed. Megapixels aren't everything.

My second was an Olympus, too, and my third a Panasonic super-zoom. Love them all. I mostly use the Pansonic, but I wouldn't hesitate to get another Olympus.

"Good spring weather?" What's that??

It is so nice out right now - I hope the wind stays down!

Is the camera the Olympus C-60?

I will attach areview - Steve's Digicams and DP Review are both two great places to research digital cameras.

If it is the C60 - that is an older camera - 2004? New cameras have a much faster sensor and take pictures much faster - but $65 isn't a bad price. Short zoom 3X, but that is pretty normal on the smaller cameras.

DD has an older Olympus Stylus Verve - and it takes great pictures. Slow sensor though, so she gets a lot of blurry ones - but the ones that turn out are great!

I would offer them about half of what they are asking.

FYI - You can buy some super nice Canon cameras with fast sensors that take GREAT video for around $150. These are brand new.

I don't know anything about cameras so I can't help you either.

Yes, I've been MIA - posting more on the diet forum these days because I need to keep my head working on my goals. It's very slow going because I'm on my final phase this year. Next year will be maintenance and damage control for any weight gained afterwards.

Busy with spring cleaning and finally starting to house paint and do minor surface repairs. This house really needs it. I don't want to waste a second of precious garden time when the snow finally melts indoors...so I'm doing my best right now to get the painting done. The walls are so dry they sucking up 2-3 base coats before an even colour shows. Sure perks my mood up seeing the results. And it keeps me from wanting to munch on food.

Last night we had a very dear friend visit - she's going through a rough patch right now. Always glad to be with her. We have to look out for each other and take care. Friendships from youth are precious in this fast world and should be nurtured all the time.

Gotta get dressed for a walk to enjoy some of this sun and water my seedlings too before tackling another wall.

Have a great day everyone! I may be MIA but you are in my thoughts!

Cheers,

Spring weather?
Yeah, we had it/have it but it's not 'good'.
There's six inches on the ground and more coming.

LOL

Typical weather for around here.
We got really spoiled during the drought; mild winters, early springs, open falls....no water.
LOL
We'll have lots of water this year.
Right now we're earning it.

I used to use Olympus point and shoot cameras and I LOVED them. If the digital Olympus' are as good as the 35mm they are great! I hope this one is good and all works out for you! When you go see the guy shoot lots of photos; inside and out and try out all the features so you know it works.

Good luck!

As Alisande said, Megapixels aren't everything. I am on my second digital, and it's megapixels are lower than my first, but the picture quality is much nicer - plus it takes better closeups, 3x optical zoom has been great for me except when I was trying to take pictures of the Lunar Eclipse..lol.
I stick with Kodak EasyShare - they are reliable, very user friendly, and have never had a problem with either of the two I have.
