BILLS! Welcome back. Long time no post!

Almost anything from Europe is better than Budwieser. Almost. I did have some nasty stuff on the train from Aberdeen to London a few years back.. Boddington or something like that. I didn't care for it at all.

Now I can't drink beer. (( I have to avoid gluten.
I CAN still have whisky though!! Thank GOODNESS!

I was TRYING to read through all the pages but I got to 774 and just ran out of desire to read further. So now I'm here.

I'm on page 266 right now, you should set your user preferences for longer pages, that way you won't wear your thumb out flipping pages.

I use the roller on the mouse so my thumb does not get tired.

I like the quicker, shorter pages.

move very slowly....very quietly...

as i said taken this morning......
(about 8am) flies are slow at that time as they bask in the sun waiting for their little bodies to heat up

keep the sun behind the fly (their eyes arn't very good at picking out detail so you blend more into the background when the sun is behind the bug....)

what lens did you use for this pic? will I be able to use this for close ups on flowers? I got my 70-200 f4l two days ago, but my wife is interested in flower close ups.

Fewer pages but still an outrageous number of posts to read. I'm with Theague. After a bit I just run out of desire to read them all. Not that I want to be reading postmodern demography either, mind you, but gotta save the eyes for academic work and picture takin' :lol: :lol: :lol:

Home. Yeah, you're not lying. You've got nearly 1700 posts in this thread and nearly 2000 posts to your account. 85% of your time is spent here! You live anywhere else?

Um, yeah. This has already been discussed. Where were you??
I even had a fitting avatar for awhile... :lol:
I was ashamed of myself....but I got over it quickly.

Now, as to the accusation of 85% of my time being spent here, I think it would be more accurate to say "85% of my POTN time is spent here"
I'd have a lot more posts than this if 85% of my life was in TPBM.

I'm just one of the lucky ones who can play while I work, and I don't have a nightlife at all....so you guys are stuck with me.
