The Rant, Third Anniversary Edition

[SAT 9,609]

I actually don't want to home school the little ones,

No, you home school them right now!

I like a Merlot anytime of the day;)

Ugg raining,,,will have to go with a raincoat today....tell ya, come April EVERYONE is wearing a beige raincoat here 24/7...like a uniform or something.

Is that tree in your garden?

Just ignore the hubs and get a new one...he probably won't notice.

It's in the tiny thing we call a back yard yes. It's a crab apple tree.

And yes he'd notice. LOL

We generally okay anything over about $500 with each other.

[SAT 9,609]

You're seriously not going to send me that camera. I'm not a tool.

Plus I think my husband would flip.

"Tool" in what context?

Our cameras are beat up. We have to replace them soon. But yeah, I'd send you one.

And yeah, your hubs would flip lol.....

I don't think you mean the D5... they've just been released this year...

[SAT 9,609]

I don't hear somebody home schooling their kids.......

[SAT 9,609]

I don't think you mean the D5... they've just been released this year...

No, we have 5 Nikon D5's....

My point was, I don't need 5- 10 thousand dollar outfits used by 2 dozen people.

I need 2 dozen 2000 dollar outfits each given to 1 person.

They won't beat them up as bad.

The receptor pins for the card, from what I understand, constantly bends. And puts them out of service.

Then whats that big giant place in Manhattan, they charge like 2k a shot to fix these ###### things.....

You just bought 5 nikon d5s in march?! And they're beat up already?

Ya know you should take the cost of the camera out of their paycheck and maybe they'd treat them better!

i've had my camera for YEARS and beyond the sand which was a learning experience on my part, it's done a pretty good job. I've treated it better than most of my phones!

[NikLR 13,227]

Okay so I looked up Colorado FREE University, which is not actually free.... An adobe photoshop cs6 workshop costs $439.

Maybe they mean free as in, you don't pay tuition but instead pay by class? I dunno... weird name for something that isn't actually free though.

We got them before march.....

1 was destroyed when a guy left the camera on the trunk of the car, put the case in the back seat, then took off, the camera suffered catastrophic injuries.....

1 has some kinda defect in the lens, where it refuses to focus. (wasn't I recently complaining about Maria in the office? pestering me with camera repair questions? Couldn't handle a simple task?)

another 2 had the memory card pins bent, then some knucklehead tried to bend them back with some sharp instrument, and broke them off.

I suspect they bent because someone didn't like the way the card was seated, then pulled it back out just enough to create a misalignment, then forced it back in to bend the pins.....

I've tasked someone to try to find a camera that'll suit our needs, and we can buy like 30 of them at a reasonable price. Give each person a camera.

ah I just took my semiannual grave-sweeping day # 1 shower # 2......

[SAT 9,609]

so, by my mom's grave, there's a pond. The kiddo loves it. She saw 3 frogs, large, medium, small, perched by the drainage ditch. She tried to get close to them, they leaped into the water, made a big splash, and scared the daylights outta the kid lol

[NikLR 13,227]

Awe!

[SAT 9,609]

Did I mention that I went to a funeral this morning, before I went grave sweeping?

My friend the supermarket guy, his mother died, 96 years old. ..

[Jacque67 7,328]

Now, it's hard to see....but there's a bird house in that tree. The kiddo and I built it together. Says "Birdies welcome" on it....

A good old Thunderbird!!!!
