12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 12

They look something like this, but I'm not sure if this is the ones or not. They are soooo comfortable!

Those are cute!! I don't think I could spend that kind of money on any shoe though.

John, I think I may back away from getting the Rebel right now. I think I would be mch too worried about something happening to it on the cruise. I think I will just go with a small point and shot camera for now. Any suggestions?

Caroline,

PJ is very happy with her camera - I can't remember the model. It is a Canon too though.

PJ?

Lisa,

I hate things between my toes too! You go girl!

My parents took DD this weekend because they said we looked like the walking dead. Really nice of them, but I am starting to get a complex.

Maybe it is that I am now on day 18 of 28 days of antibotics....

Anyway, we saw stranger than fiction last night. Great movie! Loved it!!!

I cannot wait to be warm again! If it is cold on this cruise, I may need sedation. How much is the doc on the ship?

It sounds like you need to order a trash container & a storage trailer to haul what you can donate to GW & the trash to the dump. It will be scary opening some of those boxes after that long. Do you remember what I found at my MIL's a few years ago when I cleaned there? Lots of expired meds & HBA products along with candy....the big pepermint sticks that had started to carmelize & chocolate covered marshmellow eggs that looked more like fire starters or cat mess than what they use to be. They moved there in 87 and just unloaded the boxes. These boxes were in the corner of the dining room area. I unpacked them in 2003. UGH!

We do have a huge trash container here now. Filling that thing up is what DrHug had me doing today.

Amazon has the XT for $650 and the XTi for $815.

Isn't it hard to lug around with the lens?

Decisions decisions...

John,

I had to show DH your banana pic. I laughed so hard! I said, look this guy is the VP of a huge grocery store and an attorney. Then I told him you were sophia's dad and he said, oh now I understand, he has a six year old girl and will wear anything she asks him to wear,,,,

 

[Jhalkias]

Oh, BTW . . . passed 3,000 posts now . . . I think I had about 700 when I started posting here.

700 in five years, and 2,300 in the last year!

And Kim, no matter how cold it is, I think it will be warm to us!

Caroline,

It IS harder to carry around than just a compact camera, and can be harder depending on the lens. We have two cameras . . . a Canon Digital Elph for convenience and portability, and the Rebel XT when I don't mind lugging the bigger camera for better quality and flexibility.

I do lug the XT around WDW all day with me though. I have a Lowepro case that is just big enough for the camera and lens, and strap it over my shoulder. I get by OK.

Did you and Lisa just PM each other before the last cruise?

Oh great Kim . . .

This will be like one of those viral things on the internet, and before I know it, the owner of our company will be asking "what is this banana thing all about", and our employees will be posting the picture in the stores . . .

Well then, I guess I have to just buy TWO cameras then!

 

[tynkerbell]

from my experience on new years eve on the strip. He would fit in just like everyone else. CRAZY PLACE!!!!!

I avoid the Strip on New Year's Eve like the plague!!! I've lived here for 15 years and have never been there on NYE. Too crazy for me.

 

[tynkerbell]

We are in trouble . . . Do NOT talk about this in front of Sophia . . .

Forgot they went on sale today - ALL SOLD OUT ALREADY in Cleveland AND Cincinnatti. Some left in Columbus in the nosebleeds, but it is on a Thurs. Night there . . .

Disney on Ice here we come . . .

I won't say a word. I'm not bringing it up to DD because it's a Christmas surprise so I'm more than happy keeping hushed about it.

DH bought the XT, or maybe the XTi, I really don't know which... but he also bought 2 stabalizer lenses and some special battery pack things and so many other things for the camera that the camera bag now weighs a LOT! I'm not looking forward to seeing him lug that thing around everywhere.

 

[Jhalkias]

Did you and Lisa just PM each other before the last cruise?

I think our last cruise did maybe 3,000 posts?

We thought that was a lot?

Kim

With drugs for sedation it will run you about $500.
