GillisGolf I too always said I would never have a digital. Bought myself a great SLR with extra lenses and did some travel. The camera was great and I loved it but then disaster, the whole package was stolen. I became despondent and ignored photography for a while. But...

GillisGolf No you certainly are not wrong for feeling angry. Have your permit on show all the time, it might save you some grief and stress. I know what you are saying about 'age' it is assumed that to be disabled you have to be old. Sadly that is not true at all. In my...

Do you read all the answers in a discussion?

manodogs @manodogs (415) • United States 21 Jan 07

I used to and I still do on some of them, but I generally just read a page or two from those that have lots of pages of responses. But my problem is that so many of them are so poorly written that I just don't want to read them!...

This is one of the things that I don't like about myself. Laziness. Right now I'm experiencing it and I don't know what to do to counter it. When I feel lazy I didn't want to move or do anything. I just want to spend my day laying...

GillisGolf I agree with you BUT why I wonder is this program still allowed to be made? The novelty factor has worn off I think. I live in Australia and here I dont think BB goes free to air anymore. Wonder if that means the ratings got so bad? It is a real shame that...
