Nice car photos Jamie

Kody, good work on your panning shots, the cars could be going in to the sun maybe?

[BearLeeAlive]

Now, is this finally pg 199?

And, will it stay so. ;)

[BearLeeAlive]

It's been nice chatting with myself

Toodles. :p

[Skrim17]

I'm hungry! Where's the popcorn in this joint?

[theague]

sorry no popcorn at work. :(

[theague]

Now, is this finally pg 199?

And, will it stay so. ;)

I guess page 199 didn't help.

[Jamie Holladay]

I think the new 800mm is f4 IS, so any one of the TC's will work with it.
f/4.0 TC's will work
Nice car photos Jamie

Thanks.
sorry no popcorn at work. :(
We have popcorn

The Brick

Why is the 24-70 L called The Brick?

[BearLeeAlive]

Why is the 24-70 L called The Brick?
Because for it's size, it is quite heavy, being 2.8 glass and all.

Nice car photos Jamie

Kody, good work on your panning shots, the cars could be going in to the sun maybe?

They weren't panning, I was in a car next to the other cars, we were both moving quite rapidly on the freeway. :)

[Jamie Holladay]

Why is the 24-70 L called The Brick?
If you could fasten a brick to your 5D it would feel about the same as having the 24-70 fastened to it. it is a very heavy lens.

So....is this the Kody/Jaime Chat hour with the occassional perppering of a random TPBM chatter?

[Skrim17]

Well other than getting his head split open in gymnastics Eli had a great day! Mommy has started drinking already...

No stitches and the blood stopped, all good things. A good 1.5 inch head lac but fortunately my boy clots well!

That is terrible news, whaddaya mean you're glad.
Boys love stitches, it is a badge of honour. :p

[Skrim17]

When I heard him scream and saw the blood puring down his back I was sure we were headed to the ER, but a few towels and some ice later things were looking up.

Whoa!! a 1.5 inch laceration?? Man that had to have been a real mess. Hope Eli is doing better and mommy is calmer now ;). My brother did the same on the corner of a fridge and hitting a telephone pole......wait a minute...you're drinking and not sharing :lol:.

[Skrim17]

That is terrible news, whaddaya mean you're glad.

Yeah well in non socialized medical countries their parents don't

[Skrim17]

Gin and tonics all around!!

[Skrim17]

I threw out his T shirt...a lost cause.

[BearLeeAlive]

......wait a minute...you're drinking and not sharing :lol:.
Good on ya for picking up on that one Robert. ;)

I do hope Eli is ok, it is amazing how fast our kids heal. Something with age slows the healing process down somehow. :confused:

[BearLeeAlive]

Yeah well in non socialized medical countries their parents don't
Good point. :)

[BearLeeAlive]

Crissa, have you processed the shots yet? :)

[3Turner]

Intervention!!

[thomascanty]

Well, there was a nice, manly pink in there... ;)

No stitches and the blood stopped, all good things. A good 1.5 inch head lac but fortunately my boy clots well!
A good clotter? That ones a keeper. I must admit I am a good clotter too, it takes a heck of a lot to even get a bruise outta me:). Please tell me you took pictures.

[BearLeeAlive]

Well, there was a nice, manly pink in there... ;)
OMG, I think we are about to break out in a parade, or sumpin' :rolleyes: :p

Oh yeah, glad the boy is okay Crissa:D

I'm like that too, I almost never bruise either. Lisa, on the other hand, bruises with a slight finger jab. :)

[Jamie Holladay]

Did you two need to get a room? :p
Only if your comming.
So....is this the Kody/Jaime Chat hour with the occassional perppering of a random TPBM chatter?
Uh Huh. Get out. J/K

Hey Kody is married.


Oh Kandi might not like that either.

Gin and tonics all around!!
I'll take two, unless crown then I'll take the bottle.

[3Turner]

Gory, bloody pictures?? What other fine way to torment a child in the future to say "Look at the stuff I had to put up with when you were young. So don't tell me my grandchild is any more difficult to handle than you were." :lol: Or so my mother tells me...that Evan is only 10 times worse than I was so that I can experience what she went through....yeah right.:rolleyes:

[Jamie Holladay]

OMG, I think we are about to break out in a parade, or sumpin' :rolleyes: :p
Not in Alabama are you Crazy.

Cat know what that is as does Kody.

[BearLeeAlive]

Not in Alabama are you Crazy.
LOL, didn't think about that. Maybe you could take it to CA, it is much more accepted behavior there. :)

[Jamie Holladay]

I'll pass thanks.

[Jamie Holladay]

Robert is getting me in trouble in the abandoned thread.

[3Turner]

dont make me call 1-877-413-8808
Cat know what that is as does Kody.
Hmmmm...No I don't know the number, but I found where Cat knew about it :lol:

This is what I got:
Hello. You've reached David Menegay Hyundai, Rainbow City, Alabama. I'm sorry. We're closed. Jamie is a loser and went home early.

Robert is getting me in trouble in the abandoned thread.

Time is your friend;). I know it is probably too soon but do you have plans for a new hiking buddy? Would you go looking for a dog or do you just end up with pooches that stick? I don't know but I think when my girl Jinx goes I will want a new girl to work with. I feel for you, and everyone who has lost a pet recently, I got teary just typing that about Jinx:rolleyes:

[Skrim17]

OK...I washed the blood out of his hair and put some antiseptic on it after we got home, he was quite the trooper. So here he is now...

A sippy cup? You are drinking brandy from a sippy cup?:rolleyes: Parents:p

[Skrim17]

Part of me is amazed zane knows what a sippy cup is

[short5]

Good job Crissa! That looks like one of those coulda maybe used a stitch cuts but at least he doesn't have a big square shaved in his head.

[short5]

Part of me is amazed zane knows what a sippy cup is

:lol:My poor brain absorbs unnecessary information.

[Skrim17]

I called my SIL the doctor and explained it to her, she said usually if it stops bleeding they won't stitch the scalp, suggested a steri strip or three if it opens at night while he sleeps. I was hoping she would send me some dermabond.

[Miniflash]

Clink" thanks friends ..
Lonnie do feel better , in time I know you will till then hang out talk about it and soon it'll heal .
Ashley R.I.P.
Hey jim did I miss any pictures you've posted ? How was work today?
Zane ..you zaney man you wanting pics ..lol
I'm hanging out tonight ,ready to ride on home tomarrow should be fun ,colors are still pretty here and i think I am ready for home now .Anyone coming to NH or nearby I highly recommend this hotel it Rocks ..very clean .Quiet and a great location for historic intrest .

[short5]

Good job Crissa! That looks like one of those coulda maybe used a stitch cuts but at least he doesn't have a big square shaved in his head.

And you don't have an ER bill on the way! I just got the copay bill on my last thing:confused:

[3Turner]

OK...I washed the blood out of his hair and put some antiseptic on it after we got home, he was quite the trooper. So here he is now...

and the shirt
Owww....looks painful. Has he gotten a headache yet?? I have one just looking at the picture.
A sippy cup? You are drinking brandy from a sippy cup?:rolleyes: Parents:p
How'd you know? It was the only cup available. :|
Part of me is amazed zane knows what a sippy cup is
You know, I was wondering the same thing as I was typing. :lol:

[Skrim17]

yeah, our insurance isn't that great :/

[Miniflash]

LOL Crissa good shot ..I think I see something between his curls ..lol

[3Turner]

:lol:My poor brain absorbs unnecessary information.
I thought only Puddles brain did that.

[Skrim17]

at this point I think he would be more upset about getting his head shaved than anything else! Of course it would be my excuse to shave him bald...hmmmm

[short5]

I called my SIL the doctor
Oh nice, on call doc.

[BearLeeAlive]

Hey jim did I miss any pictures you've posted ? How was work today?
Hey Deb, no new pictures today. I did not want to over inundate folks just because I actually got around to processing a couple. :)
And work, well, it was work. Nuthin' exciting today. :)

[Skrim17]

Yeah, I told her how awesome it was to have her as a SIL :)

When we were contemplating a second child I wanted her to deliver me, but alas it just didn't happen.

[BearLeeAlive]

Crissa, good doctoring. I would have to think that thick head of hair helped lessen the severity of Eli's cut. :)

[Skrim17]

He does have seriously thick curly hair...and a good hard head!

[short5]

yeah, our insurance isn't that great :/

Ours is fantastic, thank god, but I still have a 10% copay on some stuff. My initial shock trauma visit and surgery was $39,000 :shock:

[Miniflash]

Crissa how did he hit his head fall off something or jump ..?

[3Turner]

And you don't have an ER bill on the way! I just got the copay bill on my last thing:confused:
I hate copays...:|

[short5]

Hey Deb, no new pictures today. I did not want to over inundate folks

Post em up when you are ready, I need to live vicariously through someone.

[thomascanty]

Time is your friend;). I know it is probably too soon but do you have plans for a new hiking buddy? Would you go looking for a dog or do you just end up with pooches that stick?

I went looking for Ashley. I had a good idea in mind about what I wanted and searched. All the other dogs I've had before just kind of fell in my lap with no real thought involved.

But, no, I won't be getting another dog. I think I'm done with pets. When my cats are gone, that's it. The only kind of pet I'd ever consider getting again would be fish.

I thought only Puddles brain did that.

I thought Puddles' brain made up facts, not retained them...

[3Turner]

My copay is a flat $15 for visits and 10% for hospitalizations n such.

[Miniflash]

Insurance issues suck I hate dealing with it all if ya have it or don't always something you find out after the fact ..
Workmans comp issues are even worse ..even if you have worked your whole life .
okay I'll stop ranting ..feeling like a Zane moment here

[3Turner]

I went looking for Ashley. I had a good idea in mind about what I wanted and searched. All the other dogs I've had before just kind of fell in my lap with no real thought involved.

But, no, I won't be getting another dog. I think I'm done with pets. When my cats are gone, that's it. The only kind of pet I'd ever consider getting again would be fish.But you can't take fish on hiking trips...



I thought Puddles' brain made up facts, not retained them...Touche...

[thomascanty]

Ours is fantastic, thank god, but I still have a 10% copay on some stuff. My initial shock trauma visit and surgery was $39,000 :shock:

My little visit to ER back in May ran up a tab just short of $11,000. Two months after that day I got a bill in the mail for the $10 copay. I was told by some coworkers with the same plan to expect problems, but it couldn't have gone smoother for me.

A week before that ER visit I had gone to Urgent Care because of that car accident I was in. I never even received a bill or statement from that visit.

[short5]

But you can't take fish on hiking trips...



Was it Becky? Someone posted the other day about being camping and an owl going after their hamster:lol:

[thomascanty]

But you can't take fish on hiking trips...

Well... I could, but it probably wouldn't be very good for them.

I have friends to hike with now, when I feel like a little company, but honestly I do like hiking solo.

[thomascanty]

Was it Becky? Someone posted the other day about being camping and an owl going after their hamster:lol:

:lol: I think I missed that one!

[3Turner]

Funny you bring up workmans comp Deb, here there are ads running on the radio about workmans comp and making sure you don't see a 'company doctor' so that you don't get denied any claims.

What I hate about insurances...is the fact that they try to change their coverage policies in an attempt to not pay for doctors bills. Case in point, and true story...when my wife was pregnant with Evan...our insurance at the time denied one of her doctors visits because they said that the claim was a 'pre-exsisting' condition. I was fuming when I called the insurance company and demanded to know why a pregnancy was a pre-exisiting condition. The rep said, "Uhhh...I don't know. Let me re-process that claim."

[short5]

A week before that ER visit I had gone to Urgent Care because of that car accident I was in. I never even received a bill or statement from that visit. Thats like mine. I usually get a $10 bill or no bill but when I least expect it I get a 10% of something huge. I will say I am surprised they have never questioned me getting several opinions on stuff when I thought it necessary

[3Turner]

Was it Becky? Someone posted the other day about being camping and an owl going after their hamster:lol:
Yeah...I think it was Becky that took the hamster :lol:
Well... I could, but it probably wouldn't be very good for them.

I have friends to hike with now, when I feel like a little company, but honestly I do like hiking solo.
Well, you could always save some of the ashes of Ashley in a small container, glass or something like that, and wear it on a necklace or keychain....that way a part of her will always be with you on any hike you go on in the future.

[short5]

Well... I could, but it probably wouldn't be very good for them.

Emergency food and water;)

[thomascanty]

Well, you could always save some of the ashes of Ashley in a small container, glass or something like that, and wear it on a necklace or keychain....that way a part of her will always be with you on any hike you go on in the future.

I like that idea. I might do that!

I was also thinking of scattering a very small portion of them at a few places we traveled to together. I can't divvy them up too much, though. It's surprising how small that bag is! I remember thinking the same thing when I got my dad's remains back, and he was a pretty big guy. But, we're something like 90% water, right? I guess there really isn't a whole lot left over when that's gone.

[Miniflash]

Robert they are Evil I tell ya .I was sick and without money of any sort for 2 years ..if it was'nt for my savings and my Andy I don't know what would of happened to me .Then after you think your covered you find out all sorts of restrictions and they attempt to send you to docters 3 or 4 hrs away ..crazy stuff
You have to be the most vigulant person and when youre ill its not always a place you can be My advice ...always have a advicate for you ..a friend or family member to fight for your right to not be screwed out of simple care ..

[misspix]

sounds fab!!

Here is what I'm doing tonight at the Majestic Theater (http://www.liveatthemajestic.com/allevents.shtm#alice)-

Orchestra seating- wondering how the stage will be set up.
Supposed to be a costume thing - I will go as an unemployed sociologist.:lol:

g'mae all
*jealous*
Yup. I'm excited! I grew up with his stuff and still enjoy it. besides, I've seen Marilyn, so I should see the original shock rocker before either of us die.:D

I'm fine, Kody. How 'bout you?
Funny thing; a show on VHI I fell into a few years ago had Alice on. One of the questions he was asked: 'What band or singer today scares you as a parent?'
His answer: 'Back Street Boys'. :)

Let's see:

Good Panning - check

Nice BG's - check

Composition - double check (every vehicle has space to move into)

Overall - 4-1/2 stars

Awesome job Jamie, I remember it wasn't that long ago you were beating yourself trying to get a decent panning shot, wow, have you got it down now.
What she said^^^
Well other than getting his head split open in gymnastics Eli had a great day! Mommy has started drinking already...

No stitches and the blood stopped, all good things. A good 1.5 inch head lac but fortunately my boy clots well!
:shock:
I am glad Eli is okay!

Lonnie they have those containers for remains to wear at the funeral places around here

Really pretty Jim

[BearLeeAlive]

Wow! How much did that room cost? With a view like that, it must have been pretty pricey! Gorgeous!
It was pricey, but came with all the trimmings and special treatment. It cost $300, and this is low season right now, between summer and skiing.

[misspix]

OoOOoOOoooo...very nice Jim :)

Hi Terri ..how are things today with your daughter?

[Miniflash]

Jim how beautiful ..Nice ducks to ..lol

[thomascanty]

Does anyone here know what Danielle's username here on POTN is? She's a 17-year old that used to hang out in the People forum, but I haven't seen her around here lately. She had an avatar that was a closeup of her face, where she was holding up her hand, and written on the hand was "I (heart) POTN" or "I love POTN" or something like that.

She sent me a comment about Ashley on MySpace that I want to add to the POTN part of Ashley's memorial page, but for the life of me I can't remember what her username is here. I've looked through 130 pages (sorted by post count) in the Member list, and can't find her avatar. I did find one very similar, but it isn't her.

Anyway, I'm too embarrassed to admit to her that I forgot who she is on the forum... Here are her self portraits on MySpace (http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=9769624&albumId=0), if it'll help remind you what she looks like.

Love the colours Deb. We don't get that too much in our trees, especially the ones in our forests, which are primarily aspen and poplar, with a bit of birch thrown in.

Insurance=http://doom3.planet-multiplayer.de/forum/html/emoticons/motz.gif
Hi Miss Terri:) Hope you and your girl are okay.
We pay a lot for insurance but I have no complaints. I see specialists when I choose to, I have the latest best tests and have MRI, CAT, and nuclear imaging results the same day. I feel bad for Mark trying to get answers about how Nathan is walking. I think he said it was 5 weeks to get the test results. My sister lives in UK and is on their health program. She says if you are dying you will get good care but you may die before you get the diagnosis. Deb is so right about having an advocate or at least being your own advocate so you stay in control. Read the fine print and unless you HAVE to for financial reasons don't skimp on insurance.

[Miniflash]

It was the most beautiful sky I've seen in a while ..a storm had just been here and it was clearing off .The pics do no real justice to the beauty ..I felt overwelmed even not being able to capture it ..but I did in my minds eye :) ya dont need a camera even
