Working Force of "All Hope Abandon Ye Who Enter Here" (5)

We need more medical talk in here.

Medical talk, eh? Well, my grandfather had 2 heart attacks within days of each other but didn't bother going to the hospital. My Mom finally forced him to go and they ended up having to do surgery to remove some clots and put in a couple stents. Now I'm in charge of babysitting for a couple weeks (basically driving him around and telling him to sit down and let me handle stuff). He's doing well but apparently he came VERY close to punching in his ticket.

On other medical stuff, I ordered a Maxpedition FR-1 pouch that I'm going to make into a first aid kit for my backpack and once that's done I'm going to make a bigger kit for my car.

[gjl711]

I'm going through something similar with my dad right now. He's had a cough for a long time and suddenly gotten very short of breath. I finally convinced him to go see a doc but it took a lot of prodding.

[ssidiv3r]

Glad he's doing ok. He would be better if he had gone earlier. Great to know you can take care of him, must be a relief.

Good to see you , I always wonder what you're up to.

I know but he's quite stubborn. As it is, I've almost given up telling him to take it easy. Although he'll listen when I tell him it's time for lunch or dinner http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/8399/thumbsup4kk.gif

I haven't been up to much, mostly just staying out of trouble but that isn't too hard. I'm planning on quitting my job to move in with the old folks while I go to college since the campus is only about 15 minutes away (even though I'll be doing the classes online)

I'm going through something similar with my dad right now. He's had a cough for a long time and suddenly gotten very short of breath. I finally convinced him to go see a doc but it took a lot of prodding.

I hope he's alright. It must be some unwritten code that parents give their kids trouble once responsibility rolls reverse.

[gjl711]

I hope he's alright. It must be some unwritten code that parents give their kids trouble once responsibility rolls reverse.It sure seems to be the case, that's for sure.

[gjl711]

Though in all honesty, the rolls haven't really reversed. He is still quite independent but unwilling to listen to reason.

[ssidiv3r]

I think we've discovered a conspiracy http://web.tiscali.it/pljnsky/smiles/eyepop.gif

[gjl711]

Hey Chet. How's things?

[thecackster]

Whats up on the whats up?

[ssidiv3r]

hello everybody! (read in wacky doctor nick accent from the simpsons ;) )

Heck yeah. Too bad I never know what time or station they are on anymore (the downside of a having a couple hundred channels).

Interesting question though, what would happen below?

I love my bike rides http://img149.exs.cx/img149/8608/bouncingsmilie8mk.gif http://img99.exs.cx/img99/8577/yupi3ti.gif Just finished at 14.88 miles http://www.mundogasol.com/foro/banana.gif I'm fine on my mountain bike but given the opportunity I would definitely try a fixed gear road bike just for kicks, and I know I will definitely get a recumbent like my Dad (so I can actually keep up with him http://s9.photobucket.com/albums/a95/buttpipe/th_pant.gif )

So how is everyone else doing this weekend (or in general)? My grandfather is recovering nicely. We'll probably be going up to check on him and then shooting farther up north to close our cabins for the winter, I just don't know the exact dates

[ssidiv3r]

Glad you are so active Chris, never lose that as you age. It's so easy to become complacent and sit on your butt.

I know about that already, unfortunately

Great to hear that your grandfather is recovering, it really sucks to get old. My neighbor is 83 and his health has really slipped in two years to the point he has basically given up. He just stays in his recliner all the time and others have to take care of him and keep him clean. It's very sad.

I don't plan on ever being a burden to anyone (at least if there's anything I can do about it). That's too bad, even at 83 he should be doing his best to enjoy the time he has left

It's Fall gray today, kinda sucks. I really should go outside and find something interesting to shoot. Have a great weekend, I miss the old group here and often wonder what everyone is up to.

You and me both. I haven't been out shooting in quite a while. I should probably go back to carrying my camera with me everywhere

[Vortex99]

I am fine and doing well, just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day most of the time.
Living out of the city we are always driving somewhere for something..
Other then that same same old for me at least.

[ssidiv3r]

That's good. I know what you mean, if only I didn't need sleep I could get so much stuff done. The folks and I were up in Maine last week closing up the cabin and fixing some stuff.

I brought my camera and was able to get a few shots (some a tad noisy from not lowering the ISO in sufficient light).

1.) Light rays over the lake
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/subzero54/IMG_3041CR2LightRaysoverLake.jpg

2.) Two bull moose inside Kittery Trading Post. Pretty good taxidermy job using two real locked moose heads as the foundation (if I understood the placards correctly)
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/subzero54/IMG_3061.jpg

3.) Different angle
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/subzero54/IMG_3067.jpg

4.) Story behind it (if it's too small, pull it up in photobucket and read the description)
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/subzero54/IMG_3069.jpg

5.) Saw this on the drive back, with a second one (white) following it. For me, though, the only REAL cobra is blue with a silver strip and an open top (yes, I mean the 1963-65 Mk III)
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a274/subzero54/IMG_3077.jpg

[Bootsie]

I like the first shot Kitten. Are you ready to let me give your L lenses a little more use yet? I am sure they feel neglected and I could fix that right up. ;)

If anyone is interested check out my blog, posted a few shoots in the last little bit, it has been a busy but fun fall. Hopefully business will keep picking up!

[ssidiv3r]

Hey Brooke. How have you been doing?

I've been seriously thinking about putting them on the market, although recently I have been carrying just the body and 24-70 around with me trying to force myself to see things differently (not that it's helped much).

All the shots on your blog look great btw

[gjl711]

Wow.. dead for weeks and now a rebirth. I think that this should be dubbed the Phoenix thread. :)

[sevillafox]

True....but for the rest of the world....FAIL!

[gjl711]

True....but for the rest of the world....FAIL!Actually I've had 4 teens, three sons and one daughter. My daughter was the easiest of the bunch. All three boys were real drama queens. ;):)

[sevillafox]

Well, I think it would be easier if I had been able to grow into her if you know what I mean. Having her at 15 and a half means a lot of getting to know you and having to balance treating her gently because of her past and being a hard ass.

[gjl711]

Dang we need a generator in this place to keep it running.I got a 6500 watt one that I use in emergencies. Would that help?

[gjl711]

Thats all I got. Happy day before t-day.

[ssidiv3r]

Well somebody here must be a doctor because this place keeps getting revived

[gjl711]

♭♩♩♪Oh happy day♪♬. Now that song from Sister Act 2 is stuck in my cranium echoing loudly through my empty skull.This one?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxFowKIyllE

I dare you listen to all 10 minutes. ;):)

[gjl711]

At least you didn't skip straight to the Triple dog dare.Protocols must be followed.

[ssidiv3r]

Chris! How life treating you? Are you outta school yet?

Pretty good I guess. I finally quit my job (booyah!). Yeah, done with one and gearing up to start the next one for a primary degree in criminal justice with a secondary degree in high tech fraud (hopefully). I'm also planning on moving to CT so I can take a few classes on campus in addition to the online classes. I'll also be able to take care of my grandparents

Oh boy, I only made it 6 mins in before I had to turn that happy day song off.

I hope everyone is having a good Thanks Giving holiday

[gjl711]

Happy T-day..

Well, unless your a turkey.

[Chet]

Hello? Anyone here?

[gjl711]

WHoa.. I killed the thread for 3 weeks. Yikes.

[Chet]

Oops my bad. I should had let it ride.

[Vortex99]

yes the thread that will never die... just when you think the life support plug has been pulled... a pulse faint as it may be... but still LIFE

it lives
Happy holidays one and all!

[Chet]

Thanks Peter, Happy holidays to you and your as well. (And to everyone else that ventures in of course.)

[ssidiv3r]

I don't think anybody ventures in here. It's more like a nostalgic, uncontrollable urge that constantly pulls in the back of our minds until BAM! & we're back here posting (it's so bad I almost said BPAM ;) )

Woohoo party time tomorrow. I have a kick a$$ fireworks display planned for the new year.

[Vortex99]

wheres the beer? and Single Malt Irish Whiskey?
Lets not forget the dancing girls...

WOOT WOOT WOOT

Party time!

Can't have a party without the dancing girls ;-0

[gjl711]

[Chet]

Christmas time. Just to visit with Becca's parents and the cigarette ranch. I'll have a 2 pack a day habit by time we leave here Saturday. The kids already have cigarettes on their Christmas list for next year. My inlaws are wonderful people, and are always generous letting us stay in the finished basement, but the chain smoking routine gets old the 1st hour.

How can one of these in every room be wrong. Goes so well with any decor.

Good. Busy. Brain is spinning because I've got so much on my mind with biz and life in general. lol

But, I got my hair done today, I have pretty toes, and got a killer dress for a wedding this weekend so I'm pretty happy with things. lol

How're you?

[Chet]

Actually a chicken drumstick sitting in the one next to me at the moment. But with my current nicotine addiction I barely have the energy to move.

[gjl711]

How're you?Uber busy. Our division got bought by the Finns so we are splitting off. Been working 16~18 hour days for the last 3 months. Been doing a lot of shooting at work but almost nothing for fun. :( Brother-in-law got the crappiest xmas present. Wife told him she is tired of being married on xmas day and wants a divorce. Dad got diagnosed with lung cancer but is doing pretty good on chemo. That's about it.

Who knows. She's blocked me from her facebook (well, she actually unblocked me briefly to bitch at me) and I don't speak with him. No, the boys don't miss her. They've had some adjustment more related to missing her friends. lol

[Natalie]

I am in desperate need of help. Not sure who can help me but I figure you all are mostly tech savvy. Jeff packed up one of the card readers to take with him and left me with a different. I've never had issues with taking photos off my camera this way before but tonight I sit down to pull photos off and I pulled out the card and put it in the card reader and it took it a good 5 mins to pull up the folder. I opened the folder and there is nothing but a bunch of weird crap in it. I looked at everything and my photos aren't in there any where. I messed with it a while before plugging in the USB straight to my camera and still nothing. I am freaking frustrated. I hate this card reader but stuck with it for the next 4-6 months. Any suggestions would help a million. :o)

[sevillafox]

Oy nat. Can you see any pics when you put it back in the camera? What camera are you using?

[Natalie]

No I can see my photos on my camera I just cant get them to drag their lazy butts off and onto the computer. I have a canon powershot SD870IS..At least that's what it says on the front. Jeff would not let me have any other. I've never had this problem before. He took my favorite card reader and now I can't get this other one to work. About to throw it against the wall. Jeff called and I asked him and he said he doesn't know since he's not here...not so helpful since I wont get anything off then till he comes hom.

[sevillafox]

Hmmm......maybe just get a new reader? Or, sometimes you might have to run a recovery on your card. I've had it happen before where I could see photos on the camera but was not able to read them with the computer. Ask Jeff about the sandisk recovery....maybe he has a code to run that. That's probably the route you are going to have to go.

[gjl711]

What type of card reader? PC or Mac? USB or Firefire? From the limited info, it sounds like a driver issue.

[Natalie]

Hmmm sounds complicated. That sucks. Stupid card reader. I was hoping there was an easy fix I just wasn't aware of. Now I really am going to throw it against the wall. I have the most adorable photos of Jacob finger painting and now I can't even show Jeff..

[Natalie]

The card reader is a sandisk..I was using USB and I have a Mac. I've never had this issue with the other card reader.

[sevillafox]

It might be the card not the reader hon.

[Natalie]

My card is fine. I just uploaded photos the other day on the previous card reader. My photos are saved on my camera and I'm not having any other issues. I'm convinced it's the card reader.

[sevillafox]

:lol:

Then get a new reader. Walmart has them cheap.

[Chet]

Do you just have a usb cable to go from the camera to the computer? Most comupters just see the camera as another drive like using a card reader.

[Chet]

Morning kids! Wow A Natalie visit and everything. This is a crazy amount of activity to start the New Year off.

[gjl711]

It is.

How old is the reader? It just may not be able to cope with SDHC cards (and if the card for your camera is over 2 GB, it's SDHC).

A new card reader is certainly going to be the easiest thing to try. I don't use a Mac, but the Vivitar Series 1 72-in-1 Hi Speed reader I picked up at Staples works well with my computers. If that shows nothing but garbage on the card you might need to try some of the programs listed here (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=670801). Or take the card and reader down to your local library along with a USB flash drive and see if you can get at the files on one of the public use computers they probably have. If you can, copy them off onto the flash drive.

[Natalie]

Yupp I rose from the grave. JK. My hubby is gone and was too busy to help me at the moment so my patience gave way and I went to find some techy people to help me :).

Hmm I don't know how old this thing is. Jeff brought it up from a box in the basement and I have never honestly seen the thing in my entire life. Might end up buying a new one. I know it has a USB cable that can hook right into my camera but even doing that brought me no answers so I have no idea what this thing is doing. I am dying to get the photos off though to share with the hubby. Guess I'll be making a hell mart trip :confused:

[Chet]

Good luck Natalie, I'm sure you'll get it figured out.

[Natalie]

Good luck Natalie, I'm sure you'll get it figured out.


Or I'll break something :lol:. One or the other. My patience have a hard time stretching. They run pretty thin already. :lol:

[Chet]

But how is the job of momma treating you?

[Natalie]

It's the best ever. I couldn't be more happier than I am being a mom. Jacob is my everything. I wish I could stay home with him always. He's going to be 2 in February and it amazes me how fast he grew up and such a little person now lol. Jeff has deployed for about 6 months (state side) and Jacob is missing his dad like crazy so that has been tough but it's just amazing. I am so ready for 10 more just like Jacob!!!

I can only assume that either he figures that with 25K posts he has nothing more to say, or that he neglected to consider that playing the oddball too long tends to get people treating you like one . . . and he threatened to post the tutu shot one (or 20) time too many.

[Chet]

Sounds good. Lets finish the job now.

[Chet]

Hi kids. I've decided to take a short 1 year break from POTN. It's something I need to do for me as it's hurting my responsibilities at work and home. Obviously with as many posts as I've accumulated in just a couple years it's really taken away from my commitments and responsibilities. Spending hours at work following along though great fun, isn't exactly helping my concentration on important tasks. I would hate to jeopardize a 20 year career over what is considered a growing addiction.

As most of those on fb know I've also done some cleaning. Please do not take personal offense to this, as I've whittled my way down to about 40 people mostly family. I need to make this journey across the web for me.

So take care all. Hope you understand. Hope you guys know you're all my friends.

See you next year.
Chris

[gjl711]

Take care Chet.

[Vortex99]

Take care Chet! Enjoy your family and real life.

I wonder if isn't something I shouldn't do as well. I don't even read real books any longer web web web .....
Not POTN.... But leave the internet alone for along

[Rachellebee27]

OH man! I missed Chet!

Hi everyone, for those who don't remember/know me, I used to be a regular on this thread. I've taken a long POTN break, and hope to get going again on it as Photography brought such a drive and light into my life.

Lets see, since I last posted…OK, since I cant' find my last post (I'm rusty, I'm guessing it was while we were in Texas).

~I moved to Utah (was in Texas) so now I live near family, in late 2008

~Late 2009 my hubby very nearly died. Like flatlined. Ruptured intestines. Coma for a week, 4 emergency surgeries, sepsis infection, kidney, liver, and heart, failure. Ick. He's doing MUCH better now, but still needs pretty regular medical interventions.

~We bought a house spring of 2010!

~The house flooded, the DAY AFTER our housewarming. REALLY. Spring run off flooded the nearby creek and flooded more than half of my square footage.
We lived in a hotel for a month, and after about $40,000 in damage and restoration we're at home again. We lived in a hotel for a month, and they tore out all the sheetrock from 2' down everywhere that flooded. It was lovely, let me tell you. We're praying this year it doesn't happen again and that we're able to re-landscape in a way that doesn't make a lake of our backyard and house again. I still have some shopping to do to replace some stuff, but insurance is being a butt...

FTMoment I think that's pretty much it. Kids are growing like crazy, Hubbs has a good job, and I get to stay home during the day.


Who's still around? Would love updates on ya'all!

[Rachellebee27]

Haha, looks like it's only been a year...

[gjl711]

Haha, looks like it's only been a year...Welcome back. :) It's been really quiet in here for some time. Wow.. you have had a rough go of things. I hope all is back on track.

[Rachellebee27]

Wow, slow as tar here nowa'days, lol.

[gjl711]

Everyone is hibernating I suppose.

[Vortex99]

Life get busy... and my photography takes a back seat.
I do manage to get lots of pics of the newest family member. I will post one today.. if I get a chance.

My family and I have also moved into new digs, and so far so good.
3.5 acres for my boys roam on... looking forward to my first spring in the new home.
BTW
Welcome back, and its great to see such a positive attitude after the set backs you and yours have been through. I truly hope nothing but smooth road for you in future.

I would like an update from the other regulars of this old meaningless thread as well.
Chet is missed, but I think he made the right choice in walking away from PTON.

[Shinhiryuu]

I wanted to know if anyone has Chet's contact info, I saw one of his older post where it used to live in an address at Seminole in Detroit which I now live in, if you can have him email me I would be greatful, thank you jccarrillo213@yahoo.com

[Adamora]

Chet's departure was a bit depressing :/

Hey all.

[gjl711]

Hey, everyone pretty much has left this thread.

[Adamora]

Atleast there's a post from time to time :)

[Chet]

I leave for a couple months and someone boards the place up? What gives!

[gjl711]

Sort of faded away.

[Chet]

I can't imagine why. I haven't seen anyone hear on the news, so they should still be here.

[gjl711]

In hiding. They are looking.

[Chet]

That Shinhiryuuc user above happened to purchase the house that I lived in Detroit in the 70's. I don't know how he tracked me down, but he did. My dad was able to go take a look inside the house even. So this thread is pretty cool.

[Vortex99]

And from the ashes the Phoenix does rise.
I hope all is well with you and the family Chet

[Chet]

Peter, hows the family?

[Adamora]

Nope. But my employer did lay-off almost the whole business in early December. I haven't been handed my walking papers yet.

He's in Al-Mubarraz. Hasn't complained much yet.

He's not charging nearly enough. He firm quoted his air travel and lodging estimating $2500 for airfare and $2000 for hotel. I think his last ticket out was $7600 and the hotel bill is nearing $4000.

We're hoping to break even on this whole project. :confused:

Probably because he booked 2 days before he left. But yes, that is crazy!

[Adamora]

Hope all goes well then.

On a random note, anyone here still taking photo's? ive sold all my gear to repair my car D:

[gjl711]

I have been doing a few weddings on the side. Got enough saved up for the 5DMkIII if it ever comes out. :)

[Chet]

I do take photo's. What do you drive now Adam, Maserati?

[Adamora]

[Chet]

[Adamora]

[Chet]

4 days no posts. It's like someone wants this poor thread to die.

[tomcat7886]

@chet - how did you manage 2 names on a same profile?

[Chet]

My neighbors uncle has a cousin that was married to the brother of a POTN mod back in 2003.

[Chet]

Wonder where kitten, Brooke and Jeff and Ginger disappeared to?

[gjl711]

Need new blood.

[Chet]

What type are you? What brought on the need for new blood?

[Jon]

Jeff's on deployment, Brooke recently surfaced in the Gear Forums (Gasp!) and Kitten hasn't come up for air recently. Must have a rebreather.

[gjl711]

What type are you? What brought on the need for new blood?I'm red.

[BenjaminMH]

What is this thread, and I why is it so long?? 390 pages! That's crazy!

[gjl711]

Use to be a generic cat thread but most of the old timers have gone on to other things and recently it sort of... exists.

Cats warrant 390 pages though? I'm more of a dog person, but that is very impressive!

[gjl711]

Dang.. my H is lazy.

[BenjaminMH]

Uhhh. What?

[gjl711]

[BenjaminMH]

Oh! That makes a LOT more sense than cats. Typos are such a nuisance aren't they? :mad:
