My BIL had a house fire two years ago caused by the same thing. A bad power point. He wasn't home and luckily someone driving by saw the fire early before it got hold of the whole house. Fortunately only one room suffered significant damage. Was still horrible though.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902931991446033427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-20996111975105893132014-01-21T20:10:36.679-08:002014-01-21T20:10:36.679-08:00So I'll be interested to know if you settle on...So I'll be interested to know if you settle on a word... and whether you find it difficult to stick to. I like the Origami Owl tags, but the company doesn't make any of the words I'm looking for. Had to go to Etsy to get custom-made ones. Sure like your friend's dinner table setting. I need to cut loose with color like that, rather than sticking with "home decorator safe." How many You Are Here mugs do you have!? I've got only three, but they each have special significance. I sure do like the size and feel of them. Funny about the ammonia bottle you punctured. You probably wouldn't have done so well if you'd actually aimed for it!

I wanted to comment because you mentioned you wanted to learn how to use the settings on your manual camera. I've recently really enjoyed Brian Petersen's Understanding Exposure (I may have misspelled his last name). He's written a couple of great books on photography. My word for the year is "curate," and so far it is going quite well.

I often have to force myself to finish something, or set aside time to get a project or task done. <br /><br />I'm always working on sorting and organizing my digital photos. There's just so many. I learned a tip from a customer at the Apple store who said he burned each year's worth of photos to a DVD for backup, which also freed up space on his hard drive.<br /><br />Your mug collection is fun! Do you use them? I used to collect mugs as souvenirs when we traveled. But now I'm thinking about simplifying and just getting as set of plain white or clear mugs.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266164637268671793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-91097959531671508622014-01-16T05:29:53.047-08:002014-01-16T05:29:53.047-08:00Ah yes using manual on my camera and using Photosh...Ah yes using manual on my camera and using Photoshop a little better wpuld be wonderful wouldn't it?! :) <br /><br />In response to the electrical outlets in your house, isn't it frustrating sometimes when things pop up out of nowhere just when you think you are on top of it and ahead a a few dollars or so?? ugh......I have that going on right now with a couple thing sprouting up out of nowhere. i.e. getting my backflow tested on my house that is a necessity once a year, getting my hubby's like new Dodge Challenger in for a look over to make sure everything is good, getting my car key fixed because it fell just hard enough to break the shell part...blah,blah,blah<br /><br />Spermatozoa made me giggle and so did your son checking on his "Fabric" order:):)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06247447650956604911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-53680655588271120952014-01-16T05:04:59.089-08:002014-01-16T05:04:59.089-08:00Love that meme. :) Glad to hear the electrical is ...Love that meme. :) Glad to hear the electrical is getting sorted out before something more serious happened.
