Re: What camera are you using?

If you’re not taking good pics with your phone camera, you probably won’t manage anything better with a dedicated camera. The camera built into the iPhone 15 is excellent. Before buying a new camera, read up on how to get the best out of your phone camera and how to make good images. Lighting and fo...

Is renting a feasible option in the US ?

Re: Life Update

Drew - I'll be watching for what you do on an upcoming HGTV episode I hope ? :lol: It’s funny you mention this. Our realtor was contacted by the producers of House Hunters. They’ll be shooting in Frederick and asked if she had any clients with an interesting back story! “As a matter of fact, I do!”...

Life Update

Hi all, I’ve been pretty inactive, as of late, so I thought I’d give a brief life update to explain. I won’t even mention school, as I’ve covered that pretty succinctly with my last Curmudgeon’s Corner post. #dumpsterfire #trainwreck #sh*tstorm #endsinsight With retirement looming in June, I will fi...

I really cannot work this out!
Work out what I mean by my question or work out what we’re seeing with the lume?

From the article that was shared, it sounds like the lume is actually blue, not simply glowing blue.

Re: I need some positive energy

I need some positive energy

Hi all. I’m struggling today and just need some good vibes. Almost reached a breaking point at school. I thought I was going to lose it and have to call someone down to my room. I swear, I don’t know if I’ll make it until the end of the year. Some days it feels like I’m losing my mind. It’s just awf...
