Scanning them into a flickr account is an awesome idea. They don't take up the space. The whole family can access them, and they're not as easily lost.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Not having a scanner makes that tricky, but maybe I can borrow on.

Challenge #128 (cup of coffee and a piece of pie) is now closed.
Challenge #129 is desert island. (Remember -- this is non-fandom, so no LOST drabbles, please! Unless you can make more goddamn sense than J. J. Abrams is....)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Making more sense than J.J. Abrams isn't much of a challenge ....

Hey, connie, I've got a spare scanner. I'm not all that sure on how well it's working, but if I can get it up and running in the next month or two, it's yours if you want it.
Scanning the photos is a great idea. During my last visit to Hawaii, we looked through lots of old family photos, and they were really valuable to me. I'd hate for you to lose something that may matter to you down the road if you run into a relative with the info.

One slice of real New York cheesecake -plain. No strawberries, no chocolate, no syrups. Cream cheese as dense as the plate it rests on. Sugar adds sweetness, but doesn't drown out the savory flavor. Real cheesecake - yellow, not white. Maybe even a hint of blue.
Crust is flour, sugar, egg, butter, vanilla - lemon peel if you must. Again, not too sweet. Or graham cracker will do.
At the first forkful, Continents, seas , oceans separate me from everyone else. The world goes away as taste buds explode in a giant foodgasm. All alone - on a desert island.

Liese, that would be wonderfully generous. If you get it to the point of working, let me know how much it would cost to ship it.

Hey, all. I suppose the ethics of my response to this challenge are iffy since the "desert island" trope came up in a discussion I had elsewhere this week. But only some of these are quotes.
Overheard among the fannish
“Ooh, how about just me and him on a desert island?”
“Oh, you and your desert island...why can’t you people ever lust for anyone somewhere that doesn’t make me think of getting sand up my ass?!”
“Gee, that’s romantic.”
“I’ve heard his IQ is crazy high...do you think he could build a radio out of a coconut?”
”I think if it were me, we’d have other things to think about.
”
”My sister!1!”
”Do you think you used enough emoticons on that post? Seriously, people.”
“Lighten up.”
“How about a weekend at the Ritz?”
”I didn’t know you thought of me that way.”
”No, for you and him, silly :P”
“No...he wouldn’t go. It’s baseball season.”
“Oh, yeah, that’s why he wouldn’t go.”
“You don’t have to be such a buzzkill.”
