Is or is not pfffffffffft meany headedness?

good gad, if THAT is meany headedness in your book, I can't wait to see what you think I am when I call you a rotten little twister!!

Lisa is not a meany head!

It's meanyheadedness with love.

wait....you were supposed to say it's merely another sign of affection...

Well folks, a quick check in for likely the last time for at least 11 days, unless we hit perfect conditions on the trip. I will miss you all (well, a little bit anyway ). You all be good, and hopefully I will see you on this side of the 21st edition.

Have fun James B. Bear!

And be careful. Make sure everyone else with you is careful.


HAVE FUN.

A few questions. Does it do it if it is or is not the first word in the caption? Is that the only letter that it does it to in the same location?

It's only the upper Z and it did it no matter where I tried to put it. I opened the pictures in Bridge CS2 and changed it there with no problems at all...

Catching up with 19; and Crissa - if I'd read that far along when the move came there'd be a Crissa's Cat credit in the title.

No doubt. I could wow you with stories of what will pass through a dog without harming them, LOL.
(By the way, pistachios are NOT one of those things. Poor Ginger)

Um. Noone.

Nor are coffee grounds or chocolate, but try telling Daisy. Fortunately (for her) her stomach rebels and we get to clean it up instead of hauling her to the vet. Rhododendron blossoms are also Not Good, but that needed a vet's visit.

G'morning everyone.

It's the weirdest thing. Kona seems to behave worse when it's quiet in the house. If I have the tv off (the way I like it) he's crazy. If the tv is on, he's toned down. I don't know what I'm going to do when I have cable shut off in two weeks.

Get him an iPod.

cfpackerfan wrote in post #7111655
Oh cool! I'll look into that a bit more later.

And here is the camera. It's is a neat little thing.

(just quick snaps, sorry)

Ah, my father has one of these. Watch out for the shutter - the metal roller-blind type blades are he|| on the shutter ribbon tapes; that's usually the first thing to go.

cfpackerfan wrote in post #7111666
And this nifty little thing. I have no idea what it is, LOL! Something to do with flash I'm guessing.

Bulb (M3, I believe) flash - the battery's going to be a killer to find.

Are you looking? Heck of a crowd. Biggest ever. People rolled in as a constant wave over night and all morning. We realized it would take hours to get out so we rolled out. I have a great view here on CNN.

Why we went to Florida. It certainly wasn't for the weather; the sprinklers kicked in outside our hotel in St. Augustine and there was ice all over the plants!

Permagrin wrote in post #7120940
can I just say something?

It's very hard for me that I'm attempting to do the best for my dog and feel like I'm being told I'm a gullible idiot for doing so.

I'm sure the intentions are are good, but it is hurtful. If I thought it was safe for the dog to disregard the vet I would. I don't. That doesn't mean I like to pay for unnecc. things or freely throw my money away.

I have never said that I'm a dog expert. I've freely admitted I'm not. I've tried to research though and not head into this in complete ignorance. But the bottom line is that I'm going to error on the side of health for the dog. If that's a mistake, then so be it.

Our guys get all shots regularly. We may get rescues with indeterminate health histories and don't care to have more than one ill dog at a time. Besides parvo, distemper is also difficult to eradicate from a place.

JWright wrote in post #7125926
We've got our share of lens haters here too. They are those that think if it isn't an "L" it isn't worth mentioning. I shot for the longest time with the 28-135 IS which is one of the universally hated lenses (along with the 75-300 IS) and got excellent results from it. When I decided I wanted faster I replaced it with (GASP!) a 28-75 Tamron instead of the Canon 24-70.

When I started here, the 28-135 was a frequently-recommended lens.

Chicago needs an Aerospace museum. The trip to DC or Florida is to far. I've been to the DC museum twice and it's awesome.

EAA Museum in Oshkosh, WI. National Museum of the US Air Force (new name) in Dayton, OH.

Not to get political, but out Mayor is not a fan of Aerospace as clearly demonstrated by his midnight raid on one of the most beautiful airports of the country and bulldoze a bunch of X's in middle of the runway effectively illegally shutting it down.

Which is actually a federal crime - they really ought to lock him away. And the city should reimburse all the aircraft owners who had to disassemble their planes to get them out. His reason was totally bogus.

I didn't see this until John quoted it. But there is the Air Force museum in Ohio. I went to it when I was younger...in 1992...so I don't know if they would let non-military persons on the base without a sponsor. At least I think it's on base.
Here is the website: http://www.afmuseum.co​m/

Museum's outside the controlled area. Last time I was there (fall '07) not even a bag search.

oh lol!! I was just working with Kona on sit/stay/release (so that I could take a photo of him sitting still w/his new collar on him). Anyway it was cracking me up near the end because he'd sit so perfectly until after I pressed the shutter...like that was his release cue.

A D300 makes for a mighty expensive clicker.

And with that I am off to the mail box followed by some warm crisp sheets.

Why are you being followed by sheets, even if they are crisp and warm?

Getting slowly caught up and not MMQing or I'll be replying in Vol. 20.

And here I am . . .

JWright wrote in post #7186551
NO! I'm retired; I don't have to do that stuff anymore. Besides, I was a Navy Chief Petty Officer. I outrank you...

my dog just (what is the term?) cold clocked me. He came at me at top speed...used the ottoman as a springing board and slammed his whole body into my torso...hitting my chin with the top of his head so hard that it took me a few minutes to focus and my ears still haven't stopped ringing. Yeah. My name is Permie. I'm a cat person.

I don't really have anything to add. Just thinking out loud.

Oh.. I agree. His real reason is that he wanted to make a lakeside park for the wife, or so rumor has it. BTW, they opened up the airport for a day or two and let people fly out using the taxiways.

The video from the trip is here.

I liked that, Lonnie. I see Minnie was off leash and not running off. Does she do better in wide open spaces like that?

Nothing like 32 hours of ice. I won barely, good ooggly mooggly there is a lot of ice.

Jamie Holladay wrote in post #7204889
Ok a little lost on this one can some one explain?

Started here...

Not caught up but I napped the other day in the room and woke with "I heart Beefy " scrawled on me with a sharpie

Then you said...

pm me, email me, talk about me, think about me, offer me food or shelter (I am not there yet) until after 7:35 a.m. CST 28 January 2009. I will be asleep and if you wake me I will have a come apart of nucular porportions.

And Terri said...

I heart Beefy.

And then I read all of this early this morning, but; when I went back to pick up the quotes, seem Terri's comment was directed at Bobert.:o

I have a secret.. I actually like to take a spoonful of the powder Nestles Quick, place it into my mouth and let is slowly turn back o chocolate.

I haven't done this, but; I do put poweded Quick in my coffee and call it Cheapo Mocha.

Exciting news though: I got the unofficial request from the Junior class to do their prom pictures. No $$ up front but the potential to make a bunch.

Cool, hope it turns official very soon.

Permagrin wrote in post #7207335
I'm STOKED! I picked up a constant on light (TD5, that I've been wanting) off of fleabay. (it was a floor model from a camera store) complete with soft box/stand & lights!! It will nicely compliment my flash setup and I'm going to sell my elinchroms after all. WOO HOO!!

Sounds like a sweet deal, Lisa, congratulations.

Permagrin wrote in post #7207823
Do your dogs have to touch you when they are with you?

Oh, yeah. Remember, they are pack animals = social critters. Wait until he noses your hand up over his head to tell you he wants you to pet him, or rests his head on your arm and gives those big old puppy eyes....this especially cool when you aren't feeling good, they know and want to tell you they are there for you.

Oh sure, you go away to have a great time and tell us "to be good", what's up with that, why can't we have a great time too?:p

Have fun be safe.

Hello all. Long day, glad to be home.
