I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's the SLR Digital Rebel with a zoom lens.

You can get a Digital Rebel body for $600-650 since it's now discontinued. Good or bad zoom lens?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I edited my previous post to include a link. It's the 18-55mm lens.

If you're willing to risk the small camera companies on EBay, you can have it for $600-700 with the 18-55.

The Rebel XT is better, though. They fixed the problems with the original digital Rebel. Problem is the body alone is $800; with the lens it's $900.

I love my Rebel XT, though. It's worth saving your money for.

Hm. Thanks, Dylan. I'll consider some more.

Our (only) phone has been breaking down (five years old and broke -- WTF?). So I went to Fry's this past weekend and bought a new cordless phone. $80! With 10,000 features WE DON'T NEED! Because that's ALL YOU CAN GET!

Anyway, this isn't the point of the post. Susan suggested I give Annabel the old phone. She's been walking around with it, holding it up to her ear, going "YAH-BLAH-BLA!"

Heh.

Awwww, cutie-pie Annabel! Perhaps, now she will have incentive to actually start using more words. ;)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hee. I just heard on the radio, Away In A Manger to the tune of Smooth Criminal. "The little lord Jesus, no sound he makes. Jesus are you ok? Are you ok? Are you ok, Jesus?"

"YAH-BLAH-BLA!"

That sounds like a perfectly cromulent phone conversation.

I have an old $10 slimline phone as a backup to the cordless. The low-tech phone will still work if the power goes out.

Perfectly normal.

the parents and parents' friends of a little baby punky gothlette have all ganged up on her to demand that she go from Punk Queen to Trendy Teen.

Oh, jeez, I saw that one. The stepdad (?) claimed that it ruined family gatherings because everyone would start fighting with her about it. I wanted to beat him. "So, really, the fact that you all are constantly picking on her ruins these gatherings. Stop doing that, and the problem is solved. Ass."
