for starters, I think I am doing alright :)

<p>But what's your question?</p>

[graham_thompson1]

<p>Ummmmm.<br />Got some wine today. 3 for 2 offer.<br />Sugar<br />Tea Bags (Yorkshire Gold)<br />Bread. Strawberry cheesecake,Cherry Muffins<br />A ready cooked bacon shank (Just a British thing I think)<br />A bag of salad, a bag of watercress,a cucumber and some really nice baby plum tomatoes.<br />Nearly forgot. Some baby onions to pickle myself in vinegar with a couple of dried chillies.<br />Anybody else bought anything?</p>

[jpo3136b]

<p>". . . STILL NEED about 4 sand bags . . ."</p>

<p>Any Private in the United States Army can help you with this problem.</p>

<p>I offer instructional and informational classes with hand-on practical exercises that'll teach you everything you ever wanted to know about sandbag filling, for a modest consultation fee. I promise, you'll be a sandbag expert by the time it's over.</p>

<p>Thanks for the chuckle. Enjoy your equipment.</p>

<p>Graham, I think you will smell rather unpleasant afterward. Mud baths are much more traditional. JR</p>

<p>One 40 watt screw in flash ... <em>Photo Lighting Master Slave Strobe Flash Light - S40</em><br>

and a Sunpak 422 are the studio lighting?<em><br /> </em></p>

[gia_hillenbrand]

<p>Jim -<br>

No, there are 4 strobes listed, and 2 hot shoe flashes-</p>

<p>Everyone else-<br>

Your a bunch of rude people. Thsi is casual photo conversations - I dont need to pose a question to any of you. Although if you read it clearly, you would see I had asked about a developer - so STEVE - learn english.<br>

Jeremy - John -<br>

Listen to your elders and if you have nothing good to say - then shut your trap!</p>

<p>You will have something in the near future you are excited about, but it will go to pieces - I will make sure of it. (wicca)</p>

<p>Have a wonderful day-</p>

<p>(ps - I dont know why it posted with all that space---)</p>

[steve_levine]

<p>I apologize if my question regarding your lack of a question offended you. Just shoot some pics with you new gear and post them and we'll forget the whole thing. Cheers.</p>

[hal_b]

<p>Gia: Your first response to people commenting is to call them rude, tell them to shut their trap, and curse them? I'll have to remember to never comment on one of YOUR posts.</p>

<p>....eh....Have a wonderful day.</p>

[gia_hillenbrand]

<p>Likewise Hal-</p>

<p>and when I am responded to in a negative tone - I give it back in 2xs full.</p>

<p>and I will have a wonderful day - thanks :)</p>

[Mike Howard]

<p>She turned me into a newt.</p>

<p>I got better.</p>

<p>Seriously, isn't there a clause somewhere in the TOU about banning witches? Or are they allowed around Halloween? If this thread gets deleted, does that erase the hex?</p>

[daverhaas]

<p>Gia -</p>

<p>Sounds like a good / full shopping list. Enjoy the purchases. </p>

<p>MPIX has always done okay by me. They're really fast; decent quality and no hassle shipping. Same with Vista Print... If you become a preferred customer with them, you can get the "premium" business cards for "free" - you pay s/h... but they don't have the annoying Vistaprint logo on the back... you just have to "wait for the offer". Never had a problem with them shipping printed (paper) material much faster than they promise. So don't get sucked into the "Fast" shipping trap.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

[graham_thompson1]

<p>Indeed.</p><div></div>

[charlesheckel]

<p>Hey, Gia's carrying on. She's got it half right.<br>

Dang, I'm a newt.</p>

[mark_chartrand]

<p>Gia,</p>

<p>Blessed Be...</p>

[tholte]

<p>I know I am getting old and senile when I fail to comprehend what a thread is all about. I admit I don't quite get this one.</p>

[mpblaze]

<p>Gia... A soft answer turns away wrath, I dont think that giving it back at then 2x helps any. It was all in fun. Come on! its the interwebz! LOL</p>

[gia_hillenbrand]

<p>It's my party and i'll do want to...do what I want to..."</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>your all weak</p>

[Ray House]

<p>Gia, I can sense your excitement and thanks for sharing it. Enjoy your new equipment and the learning that comes with experimentation with the lights...its all about the light, and you've got a great start! Best to you.</p>

[sd_woods]

<p>I've yet to leave the house today, I'll update you all later :)</p>

[laura2]

<p>I like newts. I even have some tender, sweet moments with newts in my portfolio. I kid you not. /shameless advertising</p>

<p>Slightly o/t but how do you like your cowboystudio products? Just ordered some stuff from this guy because he's so close to where I live -- he's in Dallas, and I'm in Waco, same day service, woowoo.</p>

[sd_woods]

<p>Just put on some socks, toasty toes now :)</p>

[cabbiinc]

<p>What do you plan on shooting with this kit? 1 person portraits? 2 person portraits? Just head shots?</p>

[clark_yerrington]

<p><em>you're</em>, don't you mean?<br />you're all weak.</p>

[gia_hillenbrand]

<p>ohhh you caught a typo --- i am so scared Mr. English Teacher....</p>

<p>give it up.</p>

<p>If I could remove this thread I would, but I dont have the time to figure out how -</p>

<p>so go ahead and waste your time by entertaining me :)</p>
