Yep - I got big smiles from Liam is he opened and played with STUFFFF. The funniest was when he tore off the wrapping, opened the box, threw out the clothes inside then started playing with the box bottom :D - that was cool....

After the new Toshiba was delivered the first thing I did was pop in Mike Laptew's "Striper Magic". Don't you know I was about twelve minutes into the tape when the wife walked in the house. She lets out this big sigh of disgust walking through the door when she saw what was playing. It was great. I had to set the tone right away. You see I'm the boss in my house................................NOT. Ever since then the only program on the new tube has been Discovery Womans Health channel and the Food Network. :mad:
Has anyone went to buy a new TV recently. One needs a course in tv-ology to understand all the bull. I mean whats the difference between a 4:3 screen compared to a 16:9. Is it high definition upgradable or is it ready for it as it sits?:confused:
Anyway I'm a pretty lucky fellow to have a new flat screen TV. Actually I'm pretty lucky all the way around. No joke. Peace in the new year everyone and God Bless.

It is better to have fished and lost than never to have fished at all. "me"

bloo, wife picked up a HP. smart woman said she didn't want to spend too much on it, knowing where this camera was going to spend most of it's life. definately need to get nicad batts for it though.

Red - some digitals are not too friendly with rechargeable batteries. I have a Kodak that considers my fully charged rechargeables dead after very little use. Even fully charged, they read 50% depleted on the camera's battery meter :rolleyes: :mad: . What I've really needed to do was to pick up the bulk packs of AAA at BJs for short money and use the rechargeables for my neck light ;) :D

Speaking of neck lights, I probably could have used a Petzel for X-Mas...

Swimmer, I'm sorry to hear that you are unable to properly use your new TV. In order to ensure proper utilization of said system and to make sure that your hard earned dollars spent on said system are well represented, I'm more than happy to take your TV, VCR, & Fish_Eye's movies to my house. I will guarantee that they are properly used... :p

Hey hon, I didn't get any socks or underwear...

Hey guys, your supposed to get HER the underwear. Now that's your real gift! :D

Oops....that's Valentines day...;)

Me, I got various plugs and line, jeans, (socks and underwear:rolleyes: ), and a new turntable. Yeah, a turntable, so I'm in the eightenth century. Can't just throw out all those LP's when the turntable dies, ya know...........
