My favourite summer fruits are raspberries and strawberries.

We have a Canon Powershot A570 IS and bought it for our 2007 WDW trip. On auto it does well and produces some mighty fine pics if used on the specialist settings. The only downside is it runs on AA batteries which is fine if you buy good ones.

Here is a recent pic taken on auto (as our pup was sitting still for once)

Do you have a cell phone? If so, what do you have?

 

[Pooh67_68]

No cell phone, as I am never alone much and everyone I am with has one.

What fresh Spring/Summer fruits do you enjoy?

Melons, strawberries, pineapples that are actually ripe! Blueberries. THere's a local farm where we go to pick our own berries.

Do you have a digital camera? If so, what type, and what are the pros, and cons of it?

I have a Canon Powershot. It's very good at times--esp sporting events because I can keep the button pressed and just take multiple pics--clear action shots! Bad--too many options. And a little too bulky to carry all the time, esp at WDW. Needs it's case, can't just dump it in my backpack.

Do you have a cell phone? If so, what do you have?

I do...but it's not soemthing I use to just chat on. I'm getting better at texting, tho! I just have it incase someone needs to reach me while I'm out of the house. It's a Samsung.

Do you have a cell phone? If so, what do you have?

I do. I need to have one, since I commute to work & we sometimes have train problems. It's nice to be able to call dad from the train & tell him we're late, don't worry about it. I have a very basic LG, but it does have a camera, and I can do some basic texting from it too. Which comes in handy when I'm watching my nieces & need to get in touch with my sister.

I have the cheapest cell phone.....free
I was just added to DD's plan. Only use it for when I am out and traveling. And then I often forget to turn it on We get no reception at home.
I wanted it as simple as possible, it still has too many options for me. I have someone else set things up for me and update it now and then
I am really not much of a phone person.

Hey, everyone! Thanks for all the good wishes! We had a great time. Plenty of time on the beach and the pool at the condos was fantastic! Concert band received 1st place and symphonic and wind ensemble received 2nd. We were the only band that placed in all three categories.

What fresh Spring/Summer fruits do you enjoy?

strawberries, grapes, watermelon

Do you have a digital camera? If so, what type, and what are the pros, and cons of it?

I have a Kodak C340 and takes good pictures and is easy to use.

Do you have a cell phone? If so, what do you have?

I have a cell phone but I don't know what kind it is. It was passed down to me when Joe got a new phone. It's a Verizon and has LG on the front.

 

[mommytotwo]

I had gotten a Samsung SGH-A877 touch phone. And it has all kinds of different icons on it. I will eventually figure this thing out, but it will take me awhile.

Susan, congrats to the band.

 

[mommytotwo]

Congratulations to the band on winning.

Since today is Earth Day, here are questions related to it.

*Are you doing anything special today to celebrate Earth Day?

*How do you help the earth? Ex. Do you recycle, reuse, bring your own shopping bags instead of using what the store offers....?

Cute dog .

Thank you. He is called Ryan and is a Gudie Dog for the Blind puppy. He was one on Sunday and we are dreading the phone call from our supervisor to give us the date that he has to leave us for the training centre.

As for mobile phones, I have a Nokia 6111 which I loved at the time but I am hankering after something else now. My DD is going phone shopping this week. If anyone watches 90210 she loves the Sidekick but it is not available here so I have found the LG KS360 which also has the full keyboard - ideal for texting teens.

Earth Day? Nothing special here. We recycle as much as we can. Our council provides kerbside collection for a lot of things and we have a great recycling depot.

 

[Pooh67_68]

No

Yes to above, plus we use the engery saver light blubs. Also don't let the water run much, IE: turn it off while brushing teeth, short showers, ect.

 

[Meriweather]

recycle, use reusable bags (when I remember to bring them into the store with me).

Not doing anything special.....just staying home alone

 

[Kirby]

Thanks!

I'm not doing anything special today except wait for the appliance repair man. Our refridgerator is not cooling.

I do recycle, sometimes not as well as I should but our recycle bin that is picked up each week is usually full. And I take my own grocery bags to the store when I remember to do so. If I don't, I just keep the plastic ones to use around here or take them back to the stores recycle bin. I also ask to have my groceries bagged in paper bags sometimes. I use those around the house too with my recycling.

 

[Missy1961]

We recycle everything that we can! I've also started to use Rubbermaid plastic water bottles, so I can refill & reuse them instead of buying water in bottles. It's cheaper too! We don't run the water when brushing teeth, etc. I'm also a nut about turning lights off when I leave the room. I wash as many loads of laundry in cold water as I can, and even when I use hot water to wash, I rinse in cold. I only run the dishwasher when it's full.

Hoped to not turn on the air today but had to. It's up in the 90's. I love having my windows open but it is just too warm at the moment. I'm hoping that it cools down in the next day or too. I really shouldn't have to turn on the air until June.

Good job to all of you who are helping the earth.

I had printed out some Earth Day coloring pages for my kids to color. We started off with planting seeds yesterday, and today we will plant a yellow gardenia plant as a family. I will also have my kids make tin can herb pots.

At our house, we recycle our cans, bottles, and plastic bottles, and try to reuse packages, and such. We try not to turn on the fans, and we are luck that we usually do not have to use the fans until it gets close to summertime.

What lovely ideas - have fun.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I only have a light on a short while in the morning, then open all my mini blinds until the sun goes down. Also I hardly ever use my A/C (even though its better for my asthma and allergies then opening the windows and doors).

I wash all clothes in cold water.
