Good luck to you.

I'd like to amend my answer to go along these lines.

I'd like for my Town to accept my application as a police officer and allow me to work until the academy classes start up.
Or else I have to wait until next September, stuck with a 174 mile commute every day.

I'm kind of content in my existence right now, as far as stuff goes.  The only thing I can think of is a low-light lens, like the 50mm f/1.8, but I'd hate for anyone to spend the cash on it just for me.

So what does she do to bug you?  

(If only you were a professional writer so you would have thought to phrase that in a way that I couldn't be a smart-butt about it.)

Why?  You're Canadian . . . the government would just take all the money in taxes and censor your iPad content to the point where it wasn't enjoyable anyway.  


I want people to continue making comments on the forum that allow me to continue responding in a manner that allows me to show how amusing I think I am.

. . . . oh wait . . . wish granted.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

As someone who has a nice set of pins in my back I can tell you from experience that this type of surgery isn't nearly as scary as it used to be.  If they had a praying smiley I'd put it here to show that I'm wishing her a quick recovery.

we sold our nikon d60 and ordered a Pentax k30 with 18-135mm lens for our Christmas.  We were going to buy a go pro for kayaking pics and vids, the  k30 is waterproof, takes videos and is dust and cold proof as well.  I also like the fact that the body of the K30 has the ant-vibration and autofocus motor rather than the lens's like most dslr's.

While I'm definitely a Canuck, I've recently started terking yer jerbs in America, so I can enjoy better prices and streaming content. Freedom.

Yeah! Get it right and get a brain moran!

Non-Christmas related, but kinda... The wife and I are going to put her parents on our family talk plan from AT&T and get new phones this Friday. Probably going Galaxy S3 for me and the wife and iPhone 4 for the 'rents. Only problem the wife and I face is that most of our music is itunes. So we'll have to convert everything to .mp3 for the S3 from what I've understood.
