But I'll have to correct you on the roasted corn. You need to put butter, mayo, salt, lemon pepper, red pepper and cayenne pepper.....now that's the way to eat roasted corn.

Mayo?!? I'll agree with the rest of that. But... Mayo?!?

[3Turner]

Don't knock it till you try it. I thought it was gross too at one time, but gave it a chance now I always put it on. Though, it I go to a place that does not have it refrigerated or iced down, I don't....would rather not get sick. ;)

[Cybnew]

Morning folks. :D

Hey Mat. Where ya been?





I was busy with work and finishing up my second semester of college, then I got home and started working, and finally got a break :)

[3Turner]

Oh yeah.....college. That was fun....except for the exams :|. :lol:

A++ on your assignment.:D Nice pics throughout, Terri. Good to see you shooting again.

Mean ol woman.....no need for name callin'. Congrats to Curt....he'll have the vote in the bag come election time.

She is a member of our church too. Not so much mean, just one of those who seems to choose to be unhappy at life in general.

Thanks, I hope you're correct on the election.

Dan and Lisa, good luck at the wedding tomorrow! I am peeling out, too. Night everyone.

That is who made those nasty black marks across the floor.:rolleyes:

hi friends ..I did well not lost once thanks to GPS ..yaya

Thanks for checking in, Deb. Good to hear you had a safe trip. Have fun.

Now I need a calculator to add 2+2...

4 Just say'n.

But I'll have to correct you on the roasted corn. You need to put butter, mayo, salt, lemon pepper, red pepper and cayenne pepper.....now that's the way to eat roasted corn.

Spoken like a true Texan.

JEN - nice carnival shots. I like the motion in #1 and the close-up comp in #3.

Hi all, just check'n in quickly. My shots last night, well, I'm not happy and thank goodness for PP. I really messed up on exposure, don't know where my head was. But, I caught a lot of good leaps. This annual shoot we pick out a good sampling and put on the laptop. Take that this afternoon along with order forms to the recital. Folks then order CD's from us. The final CD's will have a lot more shots and we will begin mailing them out within a week.

Planted two flats of petunias, red and purple, all around this morning. Now I must finish cleaning up and make pizza pasta salad for our Father's Day luncheon tomorrow.

We have to leave about 1:30 for Father's Day shopping and then up to the recitals. We want to hit the second intermission of the first recital and will stay set up through the second recital. Don't know if I'll be back today or not. Hope everyone has a fun day and good shooting to Cat, Permi, and Puddles.

Thanks, I hope you're correct on the election.Me too :lol:

You are so mean Jen. :p

Who me!? Mean?! What would EVER make you say that!?!?!?

MAYO!?!!? OMG I HATE that stuff!!!! The only thing I'll eat it on is a Whopper from Burger King!!! The rest... sure I'd go there... but MAYO! And I'll knock it... just looking at mayo turns my stomach!!!

Snippets from vacation, part 1:

setting: Hotel room, all lights off, everyone in bed. Still awake.

Me: Oh my GOSH it's hot in here!
Wade: Are you gong through menopause?
Tevin: What's menopause?
Joshua: It's when you get angry at your own angriness.
(much laughter)
Marian: We are SO weird! I can't believe we are laughing about menopause at 1 in the morning!

2+2=5, right?

Mayo?!? I'll agree with the rest of that. But... Mayo?!?

On a BLT maybe, but corn? :shock:

I think the kitties may have started bonding. Kitteh just took on Tupper in a wrasslin' match. I wasn't completely sure how that would go, so I was keeping a very close eye on them. It was hilarious to see this tiny one or two pound kitten stand up on her hind legs to try to look threatening to a 9-year-old Maine Coon who is pushing 30 pounds (and he's lost weight over the past couple years!).

After a few anxious moments on my part, I was satisfied that Tupper was just playing, too. :lol:

[JWright]

Wedding is over, and it went really well.

I don't remember if Lisa's wedding was this afternoon or tonight, but I hope hers is going well also.

They didn't want me for the reception, so my job today was pretty easy, comparatively.

This morning I woke up and it was dead silent in the house. I like that first morning quiet when everyone else is sleeping.
I thought, 'well, I'll get up and hang by myself for a little bit'. I like being outside in the early morning, and just sitting in the yard listening to the birds. The air is different too.
Anyway, so I decided to get up, even though it was early, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't TOO early. So I rolled over and looked at the clock, and it was almost noon. :shock: :lol:

You think we are a little bit tired from traveling and emotional stuff from the last few days? :lol: Sheesh.

And is Joshua glad to be home?? Of course he is. ;) He's so funny.... We went out and worked in the garden a little bit last night, and I have a gorgeous yellow rose just getting ready to bud. He looked at me with total sincerity and said "I promise not to touch it".

Joshua's friend (;) ) sent him some great quotes after he told her about Cara. He sent them to me, and I wanted to share them with you.

"We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment." -George Eliot

"I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better. They fight for honor at the first challenge, make love with no moral restraint, and they do not, for all their marvelous instincts, appear to know about death. Being such wonderfully uncomplicated beings, they need us to do their worrying."
-George Bird Evans



*disclaimer: I didn't check these to see if those are the actual authors. I'm just going with what was sent to me.

[short5]

Great quotes Kit. Sounds like a good friend he found:)

[Skrim17]

Very nice, and sweet that he chose to share.

Good evening from Florida!

Hi all. "The Boy" flew alright. he waited until the end of the flight to scream. :)

I spent most of the flight thinking up fun (but unusual) things to do at 30,000 feet.

* Bring a geiger counter aboard. Fire it up to see how much radiation you're really being exposed to. (Yes, there is a higher radiation level at that altitude. The atmosphere doesn't filter enough)

* Try to guess your heading, and predict which runway you'll be landing on. I got it right 2 times.

* Entertain the toddler with loud singing toys.

* Try to guess what disney movie the family behind you is playing with their portable DVD player.

* Give a big thumbs up to the toddler who is actually screaming on the airplane. "Thank you for overshadowing my child's screaming"

* Realise that you've spent waaaay too much time with Flight Simulator. I swear, i recognised all of the displays in the cockpit.

All in all not a bad pair of flights. Luck was in our favor in Charlotte, the plane they brought in from the maintenance hangar was a bit late.

[Skrim17]

Glad all went well Mike, I knew Christopher would be a trooper!!

Mugging for the camera isn't always a bad thing! :lol:No, no it's not:D This is Sarah, a young medic talking to media as she rescues a chinchilla:lol: at a 4 alarm apartment fire.

On the 40D, that screen ain't all that little... ;)

After three and a half years with the 20D I know the screen on the 40D is going to be a major culture shock...

The screen is just the right size to hide most of the mistakes...

Obviously you've never used a 20D...

No, no it's not:D This is Sarah, a young medic talking to media as she rescues a chinchilla:lol: at a 4 alarm apartment fire.

That's cute...

I didn't do very well with this.... BUT I tried...

Have to disagree, I think you did fine with this.

I like being outside in the early morning, and just sitting in the yard listening to the birds. The air is different too.
Anyway, so I decided to get up, even though it was early, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't TOO early. So I rolled over and looked at the clock, and it was almost noon.

Like you, I like the early morning quietness and yes the air is different. Noon is OK to sit quietly too.:D;) For what it is worth, I woke up at 5:30 and thought, think I'll just rest here a bit, next thing I know it was 7:30.:shock:

the baseball game I was to shoot this evening was canceled, it is storming. Unfortunately the make-up game will be next week and Joey can't be there.

Well darn. Sorry that didn't work out for you Crissa.

"I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better. They fight for honor at the first challenge, make love with no moral restraint, and they do not, for all their marvelous instincts, appear to know about death. Being such wonderfully uncomplicated beings, they need us to do their worrying."
-George Bird Evans

Nice, I like this one.

WOOL, thanks for the link, so cool ones there too.

A few from today


Very nice.

Good evening from Florida!

* Give a big thumbs up to the toddler who is actually screaming on the airplane. "Thank you for overshadowing my child's screaming"

:lol::lol: Good to know your trip went well.

[Becky N]

Contacts are drying out. Time to rest these tired eyes. Catch you all tomorrow.

[misspix]

*sigh* Night Becky *wings droop as favorite sock departs*

[cfpackerfan]

Terri, Jaiydanne is SO cute! And I can hear her saying "I do it!" :lol:

Um.... there was something else I was going to say, but I forgot. :lol:

[misspix]

CAT!!!! :D :D :D

[cfpackerfan]

Dan and Lisa... glad to hear that the wedding went well. :D I'm looking forward to seeing some of your shots. :D

[cfpackerfan]

TERRI!

[cfpackerfan]

Oh hey... for all you Viggo Mortenson fans (you know who you are)...

We just watched Witness. An old Harrison Ford movie.
Viggo has a very minor part in the movie that I didn't know about. And he is still oh so hot.

[misspix]

TERRI!
I have missed you :)

[cfpackerfan]

I have missed you :)
Ditto that, chickadee. ;)

[misspix]

Ditto that, chickadee. ;)
How are things?

[cfpackerfan]

How are things?

Not too bad, considering. The kids are ok. I'm ok. There are lots of things that set me off to tears, but that's to be expected.
Little things like, Tevin vacuumed this morning. And usually when he vacuums, at least once you can hear him say "Cara, move! Move.. Cara, MOVE!" :lol: Well, he didn't say that today, so that made me cry.

So it's the little things that will be hard for awhile, but it's actually going ok. Not too bad.

I can't express how glad I am that we got Amikah before this happened. She has been a lifesaver for Ginger, I know it.
There have been a few times I catch Ginger waiting at teh door for Cara to come home, and it breaks my heart, but I know it's easier on her because we have Amikah here.

Sorry. I didn't mean to get all emotional again. Geez. You guys are going to get sick of me. :(

[cfpackerfan]

On the brighter side...

Pistachios. God's gift to us.

[misspix]

Cat. No sorry's. This is what friends are for (((Cat)))

[cfpackerfan]

I especially like that little piece of chewy skin type stuff left on the one shell. Yum.

[misspix]

On the brighter side...

Pistachios. God's gift to us.
Hmmm. I always thought it was 70% or higher dark chocolate :confused: Now I need to rethink some things........

[cfpackerfan]

Cat. No sorry's. This is what friends are for (((Cat)))

Thanks darlin. *accepts hug willingly*

[short5]

I'm back. Went out to pick up soup from my favorite very authentic Chinese place. Stop at a mêlée on the way back. No pictures but excitement. Like 50 kids getting into it.

[cfpackerfan]

Hmmm. I always thought it was 70% or higher dark chocolate :confused: Now I need to rethink some things........
80%. That reminds me. I have some stashed.

I wonder if 80% and pistachios will go well together?

[short5]

Sorry. I didn't mean to get all emotional again. Geez. You guys are going to get sick of me. :(
You in many ways are the glue. We will never tire of you.

[cfpackerfan]

A real melee Zane? Like, people getting hurt? Or just fun?

[puddlepirate44]

On the brighter side...

Pistachios. God's gift to us.

Amen, Sister. Preaching' to the choir.

[cfpackerfan]

You in many ways are the glue. We will never tire of you. :cry: :oops: :D Thanks Glow Boy. You made me gushy.

[cfpackerfan]

Amen, Sister. Preaching' to the choir. ;) You know it brother.

[cfpackerfan]

Dan... do you or Lisa have any shots to share?

[puddlepirate44]

You in many ways are the glue. We will never tire of you.

Amen,Brother. Preachin' to the choir.

[short5]

Yeah the real deal:rolleyes: Gun shots reported and everything. That was before I was there. It was literally in the street on the way back.

Of course. 80% goes with anything, it is your basic black of food :)

Truth.

[puddlepirate44]

Dan... do you or Lisa have any shots to share?

Nope, not yet. Everything is still on very small electronic devices and that won't change for another while yet.

[misspix]

Crap! I hope no one was seriously hurt!

[misspix]

Dan, have you always belonged to the choir? Baritone? Alto? Do tell.

[cfpackerfan]

ZANE! You stay AWAY from gunshots, DO YOU HERE ME!?!?! I'm serious young man! Don't make me come over there!

[cfpackerfan]

Dan, have you always belonged to the choir? Baritone? Alto? Do tell. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[short5]

Details?

Erm lots of loud kids at a community center, must have been an event. Heard the fight call as I was getting my food and as I got there they had a call for sound of shots and people were scattering from the police. Never did get any real details and the police cleared the call once everyone scattered and they canvased the area for victims.

[short5]

ZANE! You stay AWAY from gunshots, DO YOU HERE ME!?!?! I'm serious young man! Don't make me come over there!Reminds me of a funny quote. I don't remember who but it was someone on the hill probably a Representative. It was shortly after 9/11 and the capitol was all skittish. They sounded the alarm for an incoming aircraft during an event sending members, guests, and participants running as Capitol police yelled run for your lives:roll: I am paraphrasing but she was describing the chaos of everyone running away and said "the only ones running toward the capitol were shooters, crazy son of bitches" :lol:

[misspix]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[cfpackerfan]

I don't have many pics processed from the week yet, but here is one I wanted to share.
This is east of Yosemite, just after turning onto the road to the park.
It was still snowy, and the water still had ice chunks on it. It was beautiful.

If you ever heard me sing, you'd know the answer to be, "No."

I saw a doe just standing alongside the road today. I thought that was pretty exciting.

[misspix]

Wow! Beautiful Cat :D

Thanks peeps.

The photo doesn't do it justice, trust me.

[puddlepirate44]

LOTRR starts on Monday. Guess I should upload some of the strips when I get home. :o

[cfpackerfan]

There was this one time... we were leaving Yosemite, and the sun was setting...
The road was long and windy. Not windy, like wind blowing, windy, like back and forth, lol)

We went around a corner, and I gasped out loud, and Wade literally almost killed us pulling off the road. :lol: What a man.
Let me see if I can find the shot, and I'll share it.
