You are so right about the photos....my youngest son died when he was 2 1/2 months old, I have 12 photos...that's all I have, and they ARE very precious to me.


Claire, I'm missing something...I thought your name was Claire, so I don't know where Nouna has come in...

Perma,
So terribly sorry to hear about your son. Can't really find the words to say. *hugs*

My 2nd name is Claire... I can tell you haven't looked at my website...

As long as you find a loaded one, and preferrably the hemi version. The more "base" models are extremely boring and rough to steer.

I didn't buy the Hemi because I wanted the better gas mileage...mine gets 28 mpg on the freeway and the hemi's get 24...but I did get a loaded version...nav, leather, sun roof, heated seats, the works...it's a beauty. The only thing I didn't get was the reverse sensors for backing up...wish I had those since the windows are a bit narrow...but I've had no probs with the steering, or the power...it...um...goes quite fast...I bought the black, though the lava red (they don't make it any more...now they have a horrible cherry red that I hate) was my first choice....they didn't make too many of that color though (it looks black until the sunlight hits it...then it's firey red) because the paint was so hard to match, if it chipped....

Thanks Claire! It was almost 20 yrs ago, but I don't think one ever gets over something like that.

No I haven't been to your site...I'll attend to that now

My Caddy would still leave it in the dust. 8)


:p

Claire, wow...you are very good. After seeing your shots, I don't know why you haven't been shooting much (I seem to remember you saying that) lately....you have a very good eye for what's artistic! I loved the Lisa and Vijay wedding. Those were probably my favorite, but your sports and travel sections were very good too...what I mainly noticed was how well rounded your site is...lots of people (myself included) tend towards one type or another....but yours has quite a variety. Nice site!

I'm sure it probably would...your cadillac is a v8 right? (I think I'd probably give you a good run for your money though...the suspension on this thing is so perfect that it handles really well at high speed....not that I'd know or anything..)

32-valve v8. No, no run for my money. I'd simply smoke ya. 8) My last Caddy, the Deville Concours, would have beat most cars you see on the road.

I'm feeling horribly guilty about that 50 I want...at that price...oi....

Me too....no wonder we understand each other

When you unwrap the box the guilt goes away..... (you can tell where this is going, 50/1.2 in Perma's hands by the end of the year)

I am selling my 30D for it...I'll still have to come up with another $600 but...there's no way I'm sacrificing my 30 for no reason! I just keep thinking, is it worth it? I loved having 2 cameras so I didn't have to change out lenses but honestly I was hauling the 30D w/1-4 AND the 5D w/24-105 both around my neck for hours at a time...at that rate, I could have easily hauled the MKIIN! It was beginning to wear on me...and you did make a very good point about the cropping/pixel issues...I should have no trouble. I WILL miss the speed though...

Shooters, please ensure your 100-400mm IS L is kept well protected in a dust proof receptical of some sort when visiting Waverley.

Click or lose!

Oh it's a fine car, especially compared to some of the junk they put out today. The 300 reminds me of a mix between a BMW, a new mustang, and something else..can't put my finger on it.

Bentley...can't remember the model but it came out in 2005 and had very similar lines...some people even put a bentley grill on the 300 to cement it...but I HATE that...I don't want to be a copy of another car...I like the BADNESS of the 300 grill...it was that front view that originally got me...I was so against it, against anything but the G35...(husband kept saying "you should look at this" and I wanted the Infinity...) then I saw one in a car lot and said "oooooh, what's that, I like it"....husband was VERY exasperated...). Anyway, I was just teasin' ya about the Caddy...I KNOW it could whomp mine (big 6 on mine)...

Ever see a leaf change like this one?
