LOL, um, no.  Dress to impress day at WH, that's all.  Can you or anyone else make it?  Orias said she was wanting wings a couple days ago.

wait who are you dressing to impress at WH?  I don't want wing sauce on my ties. They were like $14 (I don't take my Hugo and Boss ones out of the packaging). Sorry I've got a hot date with my a project I'm on.  Next time perhaps.

Well, after the ten cans o' sausages, and a six pack o' YooHoos, he did plenty o' poopin'  .  .  .  a gas mask may have been more appropriate  .  .  .

ok so after lots of mental anguish and internal conflict..... i went for the d5200 instead of the d7000

the 7000 i now unquestionably feel is better for photography after reading hundreds fo articles everywhere

However as 80% of what i shoot is video,  i needed to side with my business model and get the d5200 which has superior video capabilities

I shall buy a personal play toy for my birthday in april and stick to good investments in the meantime

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL THE HELP....  Tres Appreciee

Hmmmmmm, cameras aside, tell "us" more about the "personal play toy"  .  .  .

I suspect these dogs know the difference   Kind of cool seeing them in action tho. All business and wham right to two bags. The 3 were together but the one gal was pulled put first. The couple with her didnt say a word. Just kept on moving ahead in the line. Then the guy with the dog came back and wham the other twos bags were smiffed and the dog put his paw on the bag and sat down. The customs guy asked the two if they were traveling with the one lone chick and they then said yeah. Dont rhink it was an Italian feast rhe dog was spotting
