FORTUNE COOKIE hao (good)

I just looked close at that Puppy it's not art work it's actually sleeping between the loaf of bread - see the irrregular hair line.

We are having a war for customers between Cable, Direct TV, Satelite AT&T Sprint and the Telephone Co. for High Speed Internet Service. I can't change until fall as am paid for a year with this old carrier.

You are paid or you are contracted? At any rate, you can get cable internet without taking cable tv!

Yes, that's correct.     (I do have cable TV also, but no premium channels.)
Don't know about the rest of the country, but here internet service without the TV service is almost as much as with the TV service, so might be kind of pricy.

Thanks for waking me up Mrs. M: I'm not under contract will call and see if they will give me a refund If I leave. I just sent them a year payment so I don't have to write a check each month.
Now it's only $20 more than what I'm paying for this slow speed that has me falling asleep waiting to load.

I canceled two camera snipes - only let one go thru so have a Sony Cybershot coming with a 5.2 Megapixel and 32 MB Memory sticks.
It's worth $600 and sniped it for $164
So Will Sell my Minolta Film Cameras as won't be buying much film. I'll keep one maybe and list the rest of them. I'll keep my big lenses as they will fit the high Meg Olympus that's coming out. Then I'm done using real film.
Took out the Garbage & recycles - they will be covered in snow by morning but I had to get that out of the way. I Pay $9 a week (l bag) for garbage whether I put it out or not so try to keep it going out. I hate paying for something when I don't use it.

Good grief!! You pay for trash pickup???

Oh, btw, Mory, I have that camera. You will live it! I bought mine very cheap as a display model a year ago. It takes great pix and I can download either into the printer or lapptop and print my pixs!!

$45 a month plus 1.50 for each bag after the first so I really fill them up.

My old Frg cost $40 & Mattress $30 to dump in Dec. An Air Cond is $50 also

Yes and I like the 14 frame BURST feature - haven't had that before. I have missed a lot of good shots when somebody blinked or closed their eyes so its good protection on important shots. The only other Sony I have is 5 yrs old and uses
Floppies - its fun.

I have NEVER paid for trash pickup!! They will pickup anything you put out here. We have three different trucks, twice a week and if you need something between, just call!

I have had only one problem. It uses batteries and I mean uses them, so, I bought the special rechargable and charger for it right after I purchased the camera.

Know what you mean - I have a Battery room. Have 8 Car batteries - six drills and
6 cameras trickling. Bought all rechargeables last year. I can charge 24 AAA at once. Try to keep them up for my
remote control cars boats and cameras.

We have that Camera too and boy does it chew the batteries. I have 5 sets of rechargeables that we filter through.

Well, this takes a special kind of rechargable. I can't remember what it cost but if you try to use the double As, you'll change them after every 4 shots! These are special camera batteries and the charger is just for them, Mory.

Just re-read the spec's on the camera it must be the 3 point Auto-Focus that's eating up the battery Life It even uses it on low light.. That's good - more sharper pictures. Can't wait to get it.

Accomplishment Is 90% Getting Started

Not long ago I got a Fuji S7000. I can take about 100 pics before replacing rechargeables. ... and they only take 15 minutes to recharge!

Exactly, Puppy! But not with the regular batteries!

Mory, can't tell you what does it, but it does!! If you purchase the rechargable, you'll not have a problem! I bought that online too and saved a lot over the stores!

That's good to know I'll get right on it. The camera will be here next Thursday
So have time to shop.

I have to correct what I said about a charger room - I also have the Coffee station in there. I had to do this to split the load on four 15 Amp circuits in this old building. I was always blowing fuses and finding myself stumbling around in the dark. This is a solution that works
now.

Mory, do you rent this place?

Mrs.M:

Yes, correct... and they are NOT the NiCd. They are by Rayovac and are NiMH 2000mA. You need the special charger to get the 15 minute recharge time. (Both avaliable on eBay)

That is correct, but I also think you need to get the correct one for the camera manufacture...I mean probably not all the same shape, etc?

Just looked at mine..it says 1100mAh lithium
You can probably get by with a 32 stick. I have 120, but have never had a problem filling it so probably I didn't need that much!

If it's lithium, it's probably special for the camera (or the camera was designed for it). Mine uses 4 of the plain old AA size.

Mine came with them, but it ate them. This is the replacement for them..it took 2, I think. Yes, it is only for this camera.

This was taken with it. It does a pretty good job for a "dummie" Of course, I reduced it down a lot in Village.

I am in luck for a change it uses the same Infolithium NPFC11 as my other Sony and I also have a charger and a spare 64 meg memory stick. The 256 MB stick is another $100. I can start looking for one of those. And the little memory stick carrying case. to snipe. Now I'm getting excited about it.

Great, Mory!! That will save you a bundle!

I think I have a thing for these frogs!!

Thats a nice picture - interesting to note you can reduce the size at Village.
Is that bird alive? That's a nice feeder.

Accomplishment Is 90% Getting Started

I have a regular account at village, Mory and love it! Yes, Keko is very much alive. He is a Catalina Macaw. I use him in my Ebay ads, but not that pix. We made the feeder, but found it was a pain to ship so we don't sell them anymore.

Mory, you can reduce the size at photobucket too! ... but any animations may stop working.

Puppy, I am surprised. I thought someone said that photobucket didn't have that!

Very beautiful, I bought a cage but then decided I don't have a stable temperature
so sold the cage. Does it speak or mimick anything?

Accomplishment Is 90% Getting Started

He never shuts up!!! He probably says 2 or 3 hundred words! He actually belongs to my daughter. And, I am glad! They are extremely messy!!

Puppy, I cannot find a place on photobucket to reduce!

Have to get ready for 3 AM trip to VA Hospital so talk with you tomorrow evening.
Thanks everyone..

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Mory!

Photobucket reducing:

Click edit, then you have your choice of 25, 50, or 75% of original.

Good luck tomorrow, Mory. Just wondering, is there anything you don't have? I want to come over and play with your remote control cars & boats.

Night Mory.

It's a little late, but congrats on your AS forum record!
