With Racer back at it we're going to need some help getting to 40K posts by Oct. 10.
Maybe new subjects, like....like.........

Guess we can just start all over again.
Here's why I wont buy a K3.
"I have been waiting for the announcement of the k3 for some time.Now that the camera is out and seeing the pics and seeing "ricoh on the back of the screen turns me off."

Tabasco has a new hot sauce, 20 times hotter than their normal stuff, and can only be purchased online or at Avery Island, LA.

don't you really think what bring out the cranks is whatever they care about or play at?
You don't have to look far here or on any camera forum to find plenty of obsessed wingnuts and fruitloops with idiotic ideas and questions that defy all logic. Obsessions are dangerous, whether they are guns or cameras, or most anything. I have an acquaintance that went broke spending his cash on porn......I guess the free stuff didn't suit him? How things like that happen, I have no understanding? Something must be terribly void in a person's life to acquire an obsessive crutch to make themselves feel "important"?
The first step in finding some peace and satisfaction in this life is to realize that you are not really important at all. A walk through any cemetery will make reality....real!

Regards!

Not far enough.

Case #1 Was at a camera club meeting where a wingnut lady obsessed with perfection......or what she perceived as photographic perfection....was explaining how she was at a carnival and this African-American couple had the cutest little boy the dad was holding. She asked if she could take a few snaps? Sure. Realizing that "you always need some red in a shot" (her thinking?) and the young boy had on a green T-shirt, she asked if she could go across the street and buy him a red shirt? The man told her she was nuts and they walked away........she didn't have to wait more than a couple of seconds until I told her she was not just nuts, she was a certified nutcake. Enthusiast? Hey look around on this forum, you can find some equally as obsessed......(not enthused) wingnuts and fruitloops roaming some of these threads.

Case#2 He was target shooting and his 3 year old son, unknown to him, was playing hide and seek behind the targets. .357 mag....dead instantly, not a prayer of surviving. By passing the customary delay for a funeral to give time for the family to gather from distances, he moved the funeral up two days so he would not miss the opening of deer season. I knew this a-hole and wanted oh so bad to have some of my Ft Worth friends to eliminate both his legs and one arm. Mrs Rupert was the only reason I didn't go with it. Enthusiast...not hardly, sick bas.....you betcha.

Enthusiasts can excite you with their love for whatever it is they are enthused about.....The obsessed just make you sick at your stomach. The difference is easy to see.

Regards!

All the Jims and Bobs in here made me think of the way they handled name duplicates in my daughter's student choir. Say they got a new member Anne, but there was already an Anne there, the new one would get another name for use in-choir, like Ingrid. Now, if another Ingrid joined the choir, well, she would have to get a new name as well. You know, something similar, like Veronica.

Of course, if the first "Ingrid" quit, that would mean "Veronica" could get her name back, right? No way, you can't just change names like that!
When I was in school we had two Kobus Nel's (Kobus being short for Jacobus, like Jacob) They were always calling the wrong one to the office. Until one lost his big toe in a soapbox racer accident. Henceforth it was Kobus Nel and Kobus Nel 9-toes.

Cheese and Velveeta... with respect, these are different things entirely. Both are valid and both are tasty, but they're not - it must be said - the same thing (IMHO)

Normally, I have weetbix for breakfast. Horrible stuff, but supposedly good for you. This morning I thought, too hell with the weetbix and had two eggs, over easy, with white bread toast and marmalade. I feel so much better!!!

seen it in novels but never cared enough to look it up
it looks like slices of the raw material for this...

we have a cereal called grape nuts

to reproduce it I bake loaves of bread made with barley, oat flour wheat germ, flax seed and wheat flour
the resulting bread is quite good on its own but I slice it, oven dry the slices, then crunch it into little pebbles of early morning wonderfulness and let that dry for another day or so
for about five dollars and a little work I get a couple of gallons of cereal that goes well with yogurt and fruit or just milk

reconstituted and added to whatever you might use to make pancakes...you get a delicious and filling breakfast
