Thought you already lived there.

Maybe some of us have been reincarnated from a bygone era, and the language has stuck with us.

I've seen you use some traditional Anglo Saxon in here before Moose ........... definitely think you're from yonder years gone by.

It is often correct in English to add an e . We do it frequently in Ye Olde Shoppe when attempting to communicate in Olde English.

I disagree - it is not 'often correct in English to add an e'. Although many American establishments fo it when they want to appear 'old' and, in the process, end up looking twee.

That was a while back. Once the elves left for Valinor, I saw no reason to stick around. Hobbit and dwarf women... meh.

Is that the olde English spelling of "twe"?

I told you MONTHS ago just buy another one. You realize now that you bought a new one, you'll find the hidden one within a week.

Just wait for him to do something not allowed again, which if my own children are an example should happen shortly, then take and hide the new one.

You will find the old one in the hiding spot.

Your welcome.

Thanks - I'm fully expecting to find the old one any minute, fortunately I have another son who currently does not have a device, so there is at least someone who'll use it if/when it gets found!

I really tried. Saturday night I was helping out a good friend with her daughter's reception. It was a week after the actual ceremony, so just getting together with local friends. It was at a church with bad lighting, of course, so I had to use the flash. No one danced during the dancing time except my friend, the bride's Mom and a few children and a couple of ladies, including me. I walked around with my 5D2 with 24-70 with flash and my 7D2 with 70-200 2.8 IS II and no flash, switching the flash from one to the other since I only had one flash. I danced about 10 minutes total with all the gear on. The next day, I was a mess. Every muscle in my body ached, especially the knees. I'm not that girl anymore. So sad. The reception was lovely, but the bride hardly smiled and it was more for my friend then anyone else in her family. But she celebrated and it was good.

In retrospect, would you do it again with the same gear? I think I would have just used the 5D+24-70+flash for a reception.
