    Class of 2024!!!

    I actually rented a 70-200 2.8 zoom for my oldest son's high school graduation. It was great of course, but bigger and heavier than I preferred. For the 5 graduations we've had since then, I've just taken my 70-200 f/4. It's much lighter and smaller and worked great. I shoot RAW at the highest...

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    I think the industry has had some massive shifts pretty recently because of the big change in interest rates. Things will remain in flux as long as rates are high. Who wants to give up a 3% mortgage to buy something new with a 7% rate?

    Who Pays? A Going Out To Dinner Question….

    I live in Missouri. I have never once seen a separate price for cash at a restaurant.

    Which is best second week in May or last week in September?

    I think early September is better for crowds than May. But I don't think late September is. By then, people are willing to take kids out of school and crowds are building for Halloween. Definitely May when kids are closing out the school year and parents are less likely to take them out.

    Can you mourn a tree?

    I can tell it was a valued member of the family. So to speak.

    I agree. And it's a pretty critical element.

    Disneyland annual passholder fights 1-year ban for selling tickets on eBay

    Well if you're listing it as an auction then you intend for it to go above face value. I'm talking about selling buy it now at face value.

    Disneyland annual passholder fights 1-year ban for selling tickets on eBay

    I don't even know how you would sell a ticket on Ebay above face value if you listed it for exactly face value. Ebay would certainly take issue with that as well.

    Can you mourn a tree?

    Great memory of the 200 year old tree. Our neighbor across the street lost a 200 year old tree a few years back. Took out her garage but thankfully again, nobody hurt. Maple trees are the worst to lose. They bring so much color every fall. And the shade is definitely hard to replace. It's...

    Disneyland annual passholder fights 1-year ban for selling tickets on eBay

    There's a big difference between selling them for face value and selling them for a profit. If Disney is tracking this on Ebay, it doesn't seem complicated at all to see if they sold for face value or something more.

    Can you mourn a tree?

    I'm so sad. We've lived here for 35 years and by far my favorite time of the year is fall, when our neighbor's 2 massive maple trees turn our entire yard orange. Last night one of these massive 100 year old beauties fell over. Just fell over. I heard a cracking sound mid-day but didn't notice...

    Disneyland annual passholder fights 1-year ban for selling tickets on eBay

    If tickets aren't refundable, I think it's pretty crappy that you can't resell them for face value. Sometimes things happen.

    Shingles Vaccine (Shingrix)

    And I'm the exact opposite. Don't care one whit about how it feels going in. But I care an awful lot about what follows. Some of my covid shots I couldn't even feel when they went in. But they caused so much havoc for a couple days after.

    Malware on this site?

    I have Adblock+ on my computer, but I still get pop up warnings from my antivirus program pretty regularly since this all started a few weeks back. Correct. Throughout all of this, that has not happened on any other website. Thankfully it seems to be much better right now, although hasn't...

    I was getting it constantly. I'm getting it less often, but still pretty regularly.

    OJ Simpson Died

    I had an identical experience. Must have been lots of people gathered around lots of conference rooms that day.

    At What Age Do You Not Replace a Dog?

    I would put out feelers in the community to see if you can take in a dog some other senior leaves behind when they pass.
