BTW everyone, Angelina starts her training at Build-a-Bear this Saturday morning at 9:30!!! :thumbsup2

Congrat to Angelina! :banana: :banana: :banana:

Do you think her Mgr would get upset if her DIS friends from the Tri-State area came to the store and asked that she be their BaB helper? :)
 

GUESS WHAT????? I'm on vacation!!!
Our flight leaves at 4:16 tomorrow, so I have a good chunk of the day to finish packing and head to the spa for cut'n'color.

:confused:

Isn't getting spa stuff done while ON vacation--not before--the whole purpose of a vacation?
 
Hay everyone! I can't believe it's after 3 and I'm just now getting on here for the first time today!! :confused3

I would pull my hair out with the day I'm having, but I haven't had the time to!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I don't really have time to try and ketchup this afternoon, so I hope everyone's having a great Thursday!!

I see from the post above that Angelina got the job!! YAAAAYYY Angelina!! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

Congrats!

How long before she turns into a tightwad, not wanting to spend her money on something that she would freely spend yours on? :laughing: I was that way with my first job.
 
Hi Cheryl:hippie:
Got back from Dr appt and now the DGKs are gone with DD. It is soooo quiet here. Only had 1 page to catch up with .
I have 3 memory cards. None of which are really large. Missed out on the Black Friday sale. Didn't see that I would need one, but will have to watch this year. My son has a laptop but lending it to me for almost 3 weeks!!! Not!!!

Quiet can be wonderful.:woohoo: I actually refused to babysit tonight. Too cold here again!!! Think we might need another card too. The prices have rally gone down. We use X cards.

You are SO not a woman!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

No, seriously, having spa treatments BEFORE the vacation starts is like extending your vacation an extra day!! :thumbsup2
 
How in the good Lords name is Sanjaya still in the Final 11 of AI?

Hi all,

My thoughts on Sanjaya? I think the fix is in for him (and for Haley too) until they get down to the final 10. The people that run AI want a culturally diverse group for the tour. It translates to bigger audiences at the performances. It is a conspiracy...JMHO

:figment:
 
Alas I've alread blown that idea and got the new laptop....BUT there is that DVD burner that will copy your photos from camera chips, camcorders etc and burn them directly to a DVD---no PC required! Now that would be a fun toy to justify buying...:scratchin:

$250 from Best Buy! :cool1:

I do understand this. Personally, if I'm going to spend my hard earned Disney Dollars, I want to be seeing someone who can sing. But hey, that's just me.

I don't think they would mind.....................:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

That's an interesting theory...One I hadn't thought of! :thumbsup2

Maybe we can arrange for those that are planning to bring their laptops (as Crash stated he was) to see if anyone would volunteer to burn the cds fro the memory cards so we don't have to pay so much $ to shutters to do this for us?:goodvibes

As stated...

... I'd be happy to burn CDs or DVDs - however... if anyone shoots large images by the 1000s (like me) then burning a 700mb CD takes about 30 minutes on average. I have a slow CD burner on mt Dell notebook.

This would work for 700mb chunks of data... but most folks will have A 1GB card. I'd have to organize a near 700mb set to burn - confirm the CD was reading OK - then erase that portion of the card - or burn a CD and a half to clear the card.

On the other hand - a CDRW would not finalize the disc and be rewriteable, obviously. I could leave the half or partially full CDs unfinished too - but the I can't really check them the way I lilke to until they're finished. Of course, CDs are not particularly expensive either... running a dine to a quarter in cost.

I think the best approach is to have a list of volunteers with notebooks willing to burn CDs, DVDs or CDRW discs. With any luck the volunteers will be spread out on the ship and then the needs of all can be spread around. I don't remember what Shutters charges for CD burning.

Oh yeah... I habe another solution. I could make a copy of ALL the photos on a portable HD then I would have a secure copy of all the images. The reason I am being so paranoid about this is I have observed that it seems some computers and photo lab readers are particular about which CDs they will read. This may sound crazy - but I have seen it. Different brands of CD burned off different computers are somtimes unreadbale on other computers or lab printers (like Costco or Walmart). So - to me - our precious pictures are invaluable! I would NOT want to hand someone a finished CD or DVD of their images - only to learn the disc is unreadable on thier computer or at their photo printer!

I have sold some of my pictures - and some were sent on CD - and a few were unreadable. I charged a fair sum per CD - so I was being very careful to burn a good disc... and still some were apparently incompatible. I never fully figured out why - except to say when I changed the brand of CD or the utility used to burn it - or the end user tried a different computer on their end to read it - then it worked?

So - to work around this risk - I need a backup copy. I would not even want a backup CD. Mainly because of the time necessary to make one. However to back up to an external HD is OK. My notebook hard drive has fairly limited space for backing up the images of several DIS folks. And, of course, I would be honor bound to erase the files once the CD or DVDs were confirmed as readable on the computers back home for everyone.

I put a lot of effort into my photos. I shot a lot of precious moments and cherish them. Everyday we see dozens if not 100s rotate on our screen savers and on a digital photo frame. These memories do nothing but warm the heart every day. And losing almost all the photos from our upcoming transcanal voyage sounds like a tragedy best avoided. Even if you burn a CD at shutters - that CD can become damaged or lost. For myself - I usually burn to CD and keep a copy on the hard drive of the notebook when we vacation.

At any rate... this takes a little more thought as to what routine I will offer - and the volume I can comfortably handle given that I am on vacation too. :)
