1st time posting in this forum. Didn't think I'd be in business so quickly!
I am fairly new to digital photography... and I was shooting the lava entering the ocean in Hawaii. The woman beside me couldn't (of course) get a shot with her p&s. She had 2 boys with her who were so excited to be there but were very unhappy they couldnt get any pics. So I got their e-mail and promised to send some pics. I sent about 2 dozen and in return Mom (who works for Dreyers) sent me a dozen coupons for any size ice cream for free! This is like heaven to my 14 yr old girl. And my first payment as a suddenly professional photographer :lol:. I was just happy to see the boys smile when I offered!

The government will want two licks of each ice cream you receive.

Darn! I mean, I know there is no free lunch, but this is ridiculous! No free dessert?!

Search "Hawaiian Fireworks". (those are some of what I sent her.) Or all my posts by clicking my avatar. There are several lava posts. Here is a sample...

Of course it's taxable! You're just asking for an audit...

Maureen, I also hope Pele is still active for your visit. An experience not to be missed.

tgara... I hope no IRS employees are reding this!
