I saw that but I can't figure out if it would count for an upgrade or not

Probably not...they never are....but since my smugmug is coming up for renewal...I could always skip over...and not have my own images blocked at work

Well you should have! That's one of your best portraits imo!

Really?!?! It's not one of my all time favorites.

You want a laugh....that was taken outside on the school lawn with nothing but my 5D, macro, and a reflector.

If you're saying photography is all about the gear I may have to go cry

I musta been speeding when I just blasted by the 20,000 post mark, 'cause I missed it.

Oh well.

Congrats on 20K posts here. I've enjoyed most of the ones I've read!

G'MAE all. Don't know when I'll get back on. One of Curt's Aunts passed away last week and her service is this evening.

Sorry for you loss. My condolences to you and your family.

POST YOUR PICTURES NEVER BEFORE SEEN ON THE FORUM DAY!!!

Don't think I have ever posted this guy.

No, I'm not. I'm saying that it's funny because it was a minimalist setup.

JJ.....nice boid.

I'm hunting around for another hosting site as well.

Go ahead, a good cleansing cry is healthy.

Ergonomic keyboards are frustrating. I have had one for a few months now, and keep hitting CTRL instead of SHIFT because of the curvature. I have always typed proper with all my fingers, and not having to look. This hitting of the CTRL key plus another key when meaning to capitalize has at least taught me lots of shortcut commands.

I'm on the verge of replacing my wireless keyboard and mouse. They have been acting up with increasing frequency and I think it may be time to look at a change. I've used ergonomic keyboards before and may go for one again. It's just a more natural position for me...

Our Smugmug isn't up for renewal until June of next year and I see no reason to switch at this point.

G'morning.

Still trying to finish that wedding today.

G'morn my friends, long time no see *sniff*
I am stealing a few minutes before I am off to another job, they are piling up on us over here!
Not sure when it is going to slow down a bit, but know that I miss you all, and hope everyone is doing well. *NI hugs*

Hi Miss. Gosh I miss you. I miss saying "wanna come" or "wanna go". But it sounds like you are doing well though & that counts for a lot.

Sounds like we are group training our dogs. Bax is put through similar paces as everyone has described. He catches on well to all of them, except heel, he just has to get ahead and explore.

Hopefully (and we're hoping this for Kona too) that's just the puppy in him. My back still aches from that short jaunt to the mailbox minus the canny collar.

You are doing the right thing, Lisa. Just think what Dan would be like if you took away his pencils and paper. They need outlets for their particular energy, running him through his tricks is a good way for him to release his pent up energy. Plus he knows he is pleasing you, and believe it or not, that really is important to him.

LOL!! I never thought to compare Kona's "roll over" to Dan's drawing


G'MAE all. Don't know when I'll get back on. One of Curt's Aunts passed away last week and her service is this evening. Both she and her husband were so welcoming when Curt and I started to date, I loved them both from the start. He passed away several years ago and she never really got through that. She has wanted to go be with him ever since he left, I'm sure she is happy once again.

Sorry about Curt's aunt, Becky. I understand though...Dan's grandmother adored Dan's grandpa and she died some 35+ years after he did. I would hate that.

ZF got this cool new slideshow thing that I've been playing with. It doesn't work here because you can't embed things but for facebook and websites it's really very nice.

G'mae.

Becky, sorry to hear about Curt's Aunt.

We have 70% chance for rain at the beach...

I finally went back to a wired mouse as the wireless was getting squirrely. I finally narrowed it down to my web cam. Whenever my webcam is plugged in, and I made a call, (skype) and I brought up photoshop, which is almost always, my mouse would get jerky and unreliable.

We got a new bird feeder at work, they were plowing through the old one in 30 minutes, this holds them for 2 days!!
