<p>Reading this story/event/nightmare reminds me of a saying I learned is true.</p>

<p>"If you loan a friend $20 and you never see them again.....it was worth it."</p>

<p>Look to peoples actions to determine their character. You now know their character. Let them fester in their own world and move on. Let it all go and if they do threaten you again, press charges against them.</p>

<p>They are not worthy of your time or company. Sorry friend, at least you know now.</p>

<p>I have tried to photograph jewelry for my wife before. I was having a very difficult time with it, when a friend suggested I lay the pieces on a flatbed color scanner and cover them with a piece of fabric for a background. When I tried it, I was stunned at the images the scanner produced. I am not saying it is a solution for you, but it may help someone else out in the future as it did me.</p>

<p>Now that is a great thought, the Owls Head Transportation Museum might be a great place to get some photos!</p>

<p>Hi, a good friend recommended I join. After looking around I am very impressed with the skill of everyone here. I hope to learn a great deal. I love landscapes and astrophotography and cooking. I am co-owner of www.theamericansurvivalguide.com where we like to discuss living in America. I am currently trapped in Time; ever struggling in the daily grind. Any hints on escape are always appreciated, understood, and promptly laughed at! <br>

<br />I have a Nikon D3000 with only the kit lens at this time. I built my own telescope for fun and have a degree in CNC Machining but drive a truck to make money. <br>

Have a great day and try to think POSITIVE!</p>
