Sorry your dad died while you were just a kid. That had to have created a life long hurt. Plus the A$$hole stepD only made things worse. You sure didn't have a great role modle for you growing up did you? That had to help to your M problems.
Hey, I have a Canon 30D except i don't care for it. Now hold on, reason i don't like it is my hands are very small and it doesn;t fit them. Also weighs to much for type work I like to do. XH talked me into the camera, I knew I should return it but didn't. Several times I have almost given it to H. I am planning to purch Canon Rebel. Will be loosing 2FS in power shooting but, hey thats life. the 35mm i have just love. Has an external motor drive (gift from H)for up to 5 FS, lol you can go through s roll of film real fast if you are not careful. All manual focus and with age, my eyes can no longer focus correctly. Bye Bye manual focus. How often do you shot your lense set @ 17mm? WOW, 70-300 zoom that is one hell of a lense. You can only shoot that on tri, yes? Good luck with A tomorrow. Funny I was thinking the other day, if H and I D we together will spend $3-5000. Now that sort of money would pay for a lot of MC wouldn't it??? Instead of sending it to an attorney who makes money off your emotions as well as the law.!!! I had H sign over all rights to my dogs the first day I saw his face after he left. He nearly cried when he signed off. Ask me other day if i really transfered all the dogs. HA! BTW, who owns your dog????? We have one attorney in town who in D settlements uses the pets worse than kids as a bargaining chip. Take it slow.
-Love of dogs, every time I loose a dog to the bridge,part of my heart goes too. Ever time a puppy/dog comes into my life,he gives me a part of his heart. If live my life long enough, in time I'll have the heart of a puppy. -unknown (w/character limit)
