But ... you take awesome pictures!
(I have no idea what an f-stop is. I had a good 35 mm that I never figured out to use except for on auto.)

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

Yay for GC and her DF!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
But ... you take awesome pictures!
I just go Ooooh, pretty! and point the camera at it. I have no idea what I'm doing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't know much about photography. There was just a long thread in BuffistaTech where people tried to explain to me what an f-stop was. I'm just going to nod and say, “What Jessica said.”
Yeah, but you've got a much better instinctive eye for composition than I do. Whatever you do or don't know about the mechanics behind it, you take really good pictures.
Amy, if you don't have any photo editing software on your desktop, I've heard good things about Photoshop Express.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In that case, Tom, you have a seriously good eye for the "ooooh, pretty".

Our wings are not tired.
I don't know much about photgraphy.
You have the eye. What they call a natural talent. All that tech stuff you can read in a book.
Loved the what are you wearing conversation I missed out on earlier.

Because books.
Thank, Jess. That looks perfect for me.
Tom, totally what they said. Really. Your doorway pictures are fabulous.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh GC, what wonderful news! Congrats!
Erin, trust me--you would be a fabulous creative writing teacher. You know how to ignite the imagination of students, and you know how to give supportive, critical feedback. You're also mad motivated and creative yourself, and I have a feeling you'd put together a great class lit mag. Also, I have taught CW a number of years and have a ton of assignments/grading formats etc. that you would be more than welcome to. Also, also? Being a writer and being a teacher are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. Students don't need Pulitzer winners--they need someone who can help them find their voice. A lot of writers have no idea how to teach writing because writing is just intuitive for them. Writing teachers have to be able to help kids get into the nitty gritty and then let them blossom from there. I have no doubt you could do that. I also happen to think that being a writer is not contingent upon publication, and you are both writer AND teacher. Okay, pep talk done now. Getting off soapbox.
vw, it sounds like one dose isn't going to be a problem. I would call your regular vet during office hours tomorrow just to find out for sure, but I think Toto will be just fine.
Tom, you may not know what you're doing, but you have a helluva eye for photos.

GC, very delighted to read your news. This is a wonderful time of life for you and DF. You have had such a roller coaster of emotions in recent days/months/years. The best part of being partnered is that the good stuff is better when shared and the tough stuff is easier when shared. You are both so very lucky. Mazal Tov!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Yay, GC!
As others have said, Tom, you have a great eye and that's the part that can't be taught.
I'm sorry Toto is giving you such a scare, vw.
