I've been lurking around on that forum a little bit too.... Post up if you find one!

What camera did you end up getting?

Dustin I understand the frustration that you're feeling but I think you're doing the right thing by keeping your dogs. I'm not much of a dog person but Mike and I have 3 kitty boys between the two of us..... it can definitely be a challenge! I get frustrated and the constant fur on my clothing, furniture, curtains and carpet and the fact that our couches and chairs are getting trashed from claws (can't bear to declaw them because it mutilates their paws). Overall though, they add more joy than trouble and I love my little furry boys. You'll find a balance with your pups.

I won't speculate as to whether the actual girls pictured are healthy or sick. The thing that is disturbing is that young women have put together these little videos to inspire them to refrain from eating. It's scary because they are developing an unhealthy attitude toward food and toward their bodies. Regardless of whether these ladies are 'true' bulimics or anorexics, it's just not right to warp their image of beauty like this. Anyone would want theie own daughter to be a natural, healthy weight and not stick thin. I believe that was the original poster's point. I'm always impressed with my sister because she reiterates to her daughter the fact that vegetables, fruits, etc will make her body strong and able to enjoy playing outside and participating in sports/games that she loves. I definitely agree that the other side of the spectrum, people who accept their overweight/obesity, is disturbing as well.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I've had someone explain the basics of aperture and shutter speed but i think I need to read about the basics in order for it to really sink in... then I imagine my new toy will start to be more enjoyable.

I just got a Rebel XS about 3 weeks ago. My point and shoot was either lost or stolen, not sure which, and I felt inspired to upgrade to an entry level DSLR. Loving it so far, but I really need to learn more about the manual operations. Speaking of which..... can anyone recommend a good book that will teach me that kind of stuff? I'm hoping that there is something that is not too technical but still informative.

Hello, welcome to the site. You'll find alot of folks to ride with here....

awww, we're all work neighbors! Flounder and Putty too, I believe

hmmm, not sure. Maybe just cause it's Friday??

One of the guys at work today brought in a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Joe Paterno. He keeps moving it around the office and setting it down next to peoples desks: just staring at them with those huge, thick-rimmed glasses. Left it sit in our section and my friend cut out a diaper and put it on him. Hilarious

There's also a huge Veterans Day Parade just outside of my office on Nationwide Blvd. I would say it's just a vets day thing...

but it plays cassets!

fml right now

I never know what to dress up as so this year I"m just going as a Roman Empress. The costume was decent, so why not.

Wish I could be there folks.... I do love a good Halloween party. I'll be lounging on Anderson Island in the Puget Sound

eh...

tHANKS, I appreciate you alot more after our little chat at QSL oh and In YOUR endo !

ok, that's not really what was relayed to me. Like I said, I just came away from that revelation feeling pretty crappy and wondering why it was even mentioned. It was all for the better anyway cause now I get to act and speak freely as a member and not have to represent as a mod. I'm definitely not a favorite person here but it's all good cause I speak my mind when I feel the need I'm taller than everybody

My favorite was when Carie told me that they considered asking me to mod this forum but they thought she would be a better choice.... I didn't ask for details but it did make me ...
