Hiya Re: Insomnia Thread...

All it was...I forgot to give him his peanut and he was freaking out to let me know I'd forgot. The nerve of me!


Omg, check these out tonight...





So purple and pretty. I hope the Fillius Blue are as nice as these ones.

That's strange, just when we were talking about peanut butter LOL. I just love the peppers on that plant.

Hiya Re: Insomnia Thread...

Well my camera is officially gone!!!


UPS just came to pick it up a few minutes ago!


Not to worry, I'll have a new one before the end of the day!


I've changed my mind and can't live without one for 2 weeks! I called wal-mart and they have a Kodak camera for 65 bucks, so this could be my 2nd camera for when the other one isn't available. Then I will be able to be patient and not care when the giftcard arrives.


My mom thinks it's a waste of money though and says it'll just sit un-used once I get my other one back. She's right, but I still want one now! It's only been gone a half hour and I'm already going into a panic!


Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.


Oh and Trina, I got all your seeds packaged up and I will mail them off today when I go out.

Hi Gang! Hubby surprised me with a mini vacation for Mother's Day, but we are back now. It was a no phone, no laptop, get away from everything trip. Sorry to have worried anyone! I have a lot of catching up to do.

Lots of changes in 4 days with the AeroGarden. Need to take some new shots this morning.

Sherry, I am not surprised you are already having camera withdrawals! I would be lost without mine - I actually have 5 working digitals because I try to upgrade every couple of years. Just get one with a good macro feature so you can take good close ups of your plants!

All this peanut butter talk, I think I will have some peanut butter toast for breakfast this morning!

I'll be back here a little later. Need to take some pictures!

Joy Re: Insomnia Thread...

Too late John...I just got back from Wal-mart where I purchased a Kodak digital camera.


So much for 65 bucks though...I ended up putting out a bill on a much nicer one that has even more megapixels than my Sony!


My Sony has 12.1 MP's but this one has 14!!! Here's my very first test shot...





Kind of blurry but not bad for a first, eh? I'll get better at it, as I use it more. I just feel so much better having a replacement. It was a very good idea you had though John, and I hadn't considered it. Someone like me who takes a lot of pictures could use a 2nd camera really, so I don't feel like it's a waste of money at all.


What do you guys think of the shot? I know I need practice with this one but not bad, eh?


I bet JaNan's glad she won't have to go through 'Hollyberry picture withdrawal'!!!


Oh and Trina...


Your seeds are in the mail. I dropped them off when I went to get the camera!

I think it is a great shot for a first try! I can even make out the Daylily package with their purple flowers in the background! And the colors are very vibrant!

Hiya Re: Insomnia Thread...

Hey thanks, you guys!


It's not my Sony, but it'll do for a decent 2nd camera. It has a three year warranty too. I'm just really glad that I don't have to be without a camera. I have a decent webcam but it's built into my laptop, that weighs 30 pounds!


Could you just see me going around my apartment carrying a big-ass laptop to snap pictures?!


There's things I still gotta learn about though, to get my shots just right. I tried to do some rose close-ups today but they all came out blurry and I gave up out of frustration. I did try a few different settings but none of them were right. I'm just impatient and want them to be perfect instantly.


I'm still reading the instruction booklet to figure stuff out...

Wonder who will get there first...the seeds or you!


Good luck with everything, Trina. Hope everything goes smoothly for you guys.


I was just loading some more shots. I really am enjoying this new camera. It takes a pretty decent pic I think...

That is a super shot!!!! Dare I say I think the pictures are BETTER than your Sony! You know I am very partial to the pictures with the water droplets on them. That is another picture that would make a nice computer wallpaper. The colors are just so crisp!

I agree and think the shots are just fantastic with this new camera. I'm pretty impressed with it. The pics are very bright and clear.


Yes, I love those water droplets on the plants too. I know they look pretty cool, so that's why I like to take shots of them. So glad you like them too.


Honestly though, that plant would look good if the pictures were taken by the cheapest most crapiest camera in the world! Just look at it! Boy that aero-garden grows terrific peppers. Can't wait to see yours, JaNan. I bet you're excited and looking forward to those bright purple fruits.


Did you see my post in this thread from yesterday? Check out what I just got...


What New Seeds Did You Get ??? - Bananas.org


I've already sown some of the seeds! I'm just totally ecstatic to have them.

Hiya Re: Insomnia Thread...

Has anyone ever heard of 'photo diarrhea'?!


Too funny.


On another note though...


Oh JaNan, this is just too cool....I could kiss you!


Seriously though, give me time to load the shot and look for something very very cool in the hot pepper-a-holics thread. I can't believe this. I am too thrilled to speak yet...
