Probably at work :(
Wasn't Oscarsmommy....doesn't even live in Chicago......oops; don't know where I found that she did
???????


I've sent a PM to person #2 (with a little help from MoochNNoodles
) with no response. I (by I, I mean me and MoochNNoodles
) think its possibly OllyExtra05.

I want to once again thank my SS... SIMS2FAN!!! for the extremely cool computerized dry food feeder. She also PMd me that there are a few things on the way that aren't from amazon.com, LOL, and they should be here today.

And I want to apologize profusely that my camera isn't compatible with my new computer, and I can't upload even camera photos with my new computer, but I'll figure something out. Maybe my kids will do it for me!

You may have her. I have a couple people that want her, but you would be one of the first choices for her.
Friday some one came and got my favorite male, a seal named Kodiak, he was so soft and fluffy and the sweetest thing I miss him
They called me the next day and asked if they could buy Icey when I retired her, they loved her and had been wanting a blue point. They were so nice and only have the boy kitten, I think she would do well there too.
Here's my Smudge ornament!

This year my recipient was a total doll! I got the satisfaction of seeing pictures posted!
Last year mine was in such a rush and not on much and nothing got posted either.... !!!

I hope it doesn't happen again this year due to the darn thing not getting there! I sent it with more and than plenty of time!!!

Kim, I'm assuming that you have a memory card (probably either CF or SD) in your camera, since the internal memory doesn't hold many images at all on most cameras. If you have a card reader for that card (to be had for about $20 or less), it becomes a "removable drive" on your computer, and you can move the image files from the card to wherever you want on your computer, just like moving any other files from one drive/folder to another. No transfer software needed. You'll still need image editing software to do whatever editing you want to do, but that doesn't need to be what came with the camera.

Awesome ornament! I must say I'm grateful my lot have never succumbed to that temptation, though.

Woo Hoo! Guess what! I got a new digital camera for Christmas. So my hubby can have the old camera. (that I loved...
) and I can take pics of the kitties! (Although I wish I'd thought of that. Probably less expensive than a new camera)

She did! And I loved every last one of them!


There's no such thing as too many pictures!

New cameras are always good!
Congratulations! I wish I could justify the expense. My current one is just fine, but I do covet a more uptodate one.


You can still use that transfer method anyway, and another thing about it is that if you take pictures while you are away from your own computer, you can view them on whatever computer is available to you, as long as it has a USB port and image software -- what computer doesn't these days.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. My secret santa had a snooper pm me last Saturday saying it would go out on the 24th by priority, but it still hasn't arrived yet.

Same for me. She didn't say anything till i pmd her, she is busy too but i'd really like pictures to be posted. No doubt certain toys are chewed through now and not photogenic

Anyone else feeling lonely?
I'm sad because mine hasn't gotten hers yet.
I sent December 11 Priority Mail!
