Ya, not doable right now. There's a ton of things on my list that have to be done before luxuries can be considered.

Right now it's just getting healthy, getting back on track financially and then I'm getting another job. I'm really considering going back to underwriting. We'll see though.

This won't be until after the summer at the earliest so I have some time to decide what I want to be when I grow up. :)

We were using AVG before Avast. I don't remember what happened that made hubby change to Avast.

I'd ask but he's at work, with my car, leaving me stranded here with no way to go buy chocolate.

He better fix his car soon. ;)

Thanks M. I'll give it a try. :)

Wow, when I told you all it started with an "A" that wasn't helpful at all, was it?

Avast
AVG
Avira

Ad nauseam. :rolleyes:

Oops, the iMac runs $1200, too. The mac mini, which is basically just a desktop tower, starts at $600. Keep in mind, this is in american dollars.

Mac mini - Apple Store (U.S.)

Ukk, I hate car troubles. :(

I got a new couch today!

Our doallr is at par!

Hubby would want the best that money can buy. He's one of those guys. ;)

Car troubles suck. It's not even my car that's having trouble but I'm still stuck. :(

Darn man letting the fuel tank go completely empty and breaking the fuel pump. It's been like this for around 7 weeks now. It's getting old. :(

Couch! I love getting new furniture. What color, material, size, where are you putting it. In other words, details, I want them. :)

Well, the mac is the best, at least as far as I'm concerned. Then again, I'm biased. I've owned exactly one computer, and it's my mac. When it finally dies, I'll get a new mac. This one should have several years left in it, though.

I would like a Mac too.

The couch is dark brown micro fiber and leather, it's 6ft, and I am putting it up against my yellow wall. Brb, I'll go take a pic! New camera too!

Somebody turned around and shouted, "PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC, WHITE BOY!"

Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die , oh till you die.

Lol, actually the light does not do the paint justice in the picture. It is yellow, but it's not that harsh, or orange-y looking in real life.

Try adjusting the white balance in your camera's settings. Set it for indoor, or something similar. Take the same picture with different settings to see which works best for you.

When you said new, I figured you hadn't played with any of the settings yet.

What type is it? How many pixels?

Wow. That is a camera with all the bells and whistles.

I have a little canon powershot. It's three years old, and has been acting up for more than a year. I really want to get a new one, I even have one picked out. I just don't have the money.

Optio W90 Black - Official PENTAX Imaging Web Site

It's $330, but it's a wet-dream for someone like me.

This is my camera , looooove the 12 x Zoom :)

NEW DMC-TZ7-K - 12X Optical Zoom, 10.1MP, 25mm, 3.0" LCD [DMC-TZ7-K] - Panasonic Australia

Pentax are awesome. I really don't need all the bells and whistles. But I'm starting to really get into photography. I've always liked it, but I am spending more time doing it now. I just got some great prints back! I think I may exchange mine for a pentax.

Ooooh, fancy.

This is what I have right now. I wouldn't have a problem with it if it hadn't started having power issues more than a year ago. It no longer works with rechargeable batteries, and it goes through regular batteries faster than it should. The flash takes FOREVER to warm up, and you can't take any pictures until it does, even if you're not using the flash. Most recently, it started needing to warm up the flash between each picture, so I can no longer taken quick snap shots.

If you do that, I may turn permanently green.
