Thanks.

Congrats. How do you like it?

Mine isn't shipping until "late April."

Sounds like you've ordered the 3G version which isn't going to ship till the end of this month. I figured that would be somewhat unnecessary for me because there's usually a wireless network wherever we go. Also, I didn't want to pay for another data plan. I always have the iPhone in a pinch.

I'll be perfectly honest; I didn't really want the iPad, at least not now. I made the mistake of saying I thought we'd own something like that someday, and Lois decided now was the time. (She's been paying close attention to all the hype on TV recently.) I didn't go to the Apple Store until this afternoon, figuring they'd be sold out. Driving 90 miles each way just seemed easier than arguing about it. I was shocked they still had some, and there wasn't much of a line.

As to whether I like it or not, that will take a little time to get used to it. I haven't logged onto the home network with it yet, and I have to synch it with my computer.

I'll keep you posted after I've played with it.

Eli looks sooooo grown up

And his hair has grown back.

Congrats on the new iPad, Chief!

Love the photos, Crissa. Eli looks SO grown up!

Congrats on the TMSing Chief.

Zane - good luck with the camera looking, hope Permie does not convert you to the dark side

Thanks, Heather. This is my first post on the iPad.

Hi guys...I'm here for a few more.

This is the senior that I shot with today. She was so amused at my mishap with my pants (the fabric bit the dust, or turned into it or something) that she nearly fell out of a tree..... :-S

She is cute - I like the first one. Not good on the almost falling out of the tree though

so I got this pain in my finger this afternoon while leaving the park, look at my hand and it has a big lump below the 1st joint, felt almost like it was going to explode. Now it is a nice purpleish bruise with a dull ache to it. weird.

Hmmm, does gout do that?

I would think so too Paula, but there is no head or anything, as it swelled it looked like the vein itself was going to pop thru my skin. I am having some more pain in my wrist as well, might head to the ER actually it looks pretty nasty.

Let us know, I hope it's nothing

So, I leave for an afternoon, and Zane considers going Nikon?

I tried on a dress but it just didn't have the same appeal as a new camera.

Lois is a very lucky woman.

Yo, we went out for a bite and a margarita after my lat yo. You never noticed I was gone did you

Gout Symptoms
The first symptom of gouty arthritis is typically the sudden onset of a hot, red, swollen joint. The most common joint involved is at the base of the big toe, but almost any joint can be involved

When to Seek Medical Care
Anyone who has a sudden onset of a hot, red, swollen joint should seek medical care, either with a primary-care physician, at an emergency department, or with a rheumatologist (arthritis specialist). These symptoms can also be due to an infection or loss of cartilage in the joint

...Then I look at Nikon and they seem to have everything I want.....

I didn't want to say anything, but.... the D700 would be ideal for what you're looking for...

Chris just left. All four dogs had a blast.

Yes it would. Sounds fun Is Grace sweet?

So does this mean that you have two worn out pups and Chris has two that will fall asleep on the way home?

Very sweet. Wow, very gentle, loving... really a great dog. Especially when you consider her past. She seems to have no lingering after effects of abuse.

yup yup yup. Well, Kona is a little slowed down, perhaps.
