Hopeless A**holes who enjoy breaking things, sleeping where they don't belong, stealing food, and knocking over glasses just for the hell of it?

Fwiw, if your dr approves of it, elderberry has proven excellent at virus protection in my household. Elderberry syrup in a cup of hot water before bedtime has kept me cold and flu free for quite a few years. Do you know if it's pregnancy safe? I just got over stomach virus #2 and am coming down wi...

If they want a photo album get me their photos and I'll be happy to design it for them, and if they want to purchase through me I'll sell it at cost.

So very sorry for your family, Sue.

I put 'my' cat down in April, there are still nights I stand on the porch in tears knowing she won't meet me at the door.

Multi meter, single service buildings have different rules. And, if it's a single apartment over a commercial building, it may be a use that is not allowed and it may not be grandfathered in - if your tenants really got ugly and got their local tenants rights people involved.

I'd probably ask an attorney before I pursued criminal charges. It's been against code in all the states I've lived in because it's a fire hazard.

I am very sorry for the loss of your grand old man, but hey - 23 years is a pretty darn good run for a cat! A testament to your good care. He lived a charmed life with people who loved him always, a roof over his head, a warm bed to lay his head, and a full tummy. The 2nd in command kitty has been ...

I thought that the breaker box had to be accessible to the tenants at all times? Isn't that a fire/safety code?

We lost Ash yesterday. 5 days shy of his 23rd birthday. My vet suspects organ failure, and at his age he crashed quicker than a healthier, younger cat would have. He was fine Monday morning, week Monday night, and decline rapidly from 6am when I got up until we got to the vet at 8:15. We sedated him...

What the heck is pimento cheese? Sorry, I spelled it wrong earlier. It's *pimiento* cheese. And yes, it includes small diced sweet red (pimiento) peppers!

I'm sensitive to triptans (and pregnant), so my only options right now are Benadryl and Tylenol. I'd go see a neurologist and try Relpax or Imitrex, they are lifesavers for many migraine peeps.

WMW - manual, if you're shooting into the sun then most cameras will underexpose the subjects because it'll expose for the background. The D750 is harder to get pretty soft hazy flares with. My D700 gives me those hazy flares so easily. I never use shutter priority, I rarely actually care what my sh...

I love lens flare! As long as it doesn't cover faces I deliver images with flare a lot. WMW, up arrow twice will show you the histogram or you can turn your view to show (I think) details and it will show a thumbnail with all the metadata and the histogram. That's what I keep my view set to since I ...

Neither telescopes nor cameras are cheap hobbies. Unless you compare them to a horse, then yes, they're very cheap.

Melt is freaking amazing! My mom makes the best grilled cheese - she roasts garlic, mashes that into a paste on the bread and uses whatever cheeses she has on hand. Since good cheese is a food group in her house, it's wide open what's around. Usually it's sharp cheddar, parmesan, swiss, for a while ...

Borrow lens has the 50 1.4, 85 1.4, and the 35 1.4. The 58 is supposed to be amazing, but I have the 50 and have used the 85 enough to know they're great lenses. I don't really like the 85 length, it's not for me, but it's still a solid lens.

The 58 1.4 is on borrow lenses? That baby is compared to Ziess glass all the time! I want one! I've never used borrowlenses, I always rent local.

Indirectly from RTR's post... best to, if in doubt, underexpose rather than overexpose. The detail is there is the underexposed shots and can be brought out in post-processing. Much harder to "darken" an over exposed photo. This statement is true for digital (and counterintuitive for the ...
