Dear So and So

[Eden]

Eek! I've pretty much always used B&H for camera stuff. Thanks for letting us know!

Yeah - I get stuff from B&H too, never any problems ordering from them - unfortunately they don't have any of the smaller drive ones.... they do have the 120GB at the same price Amazon does, so maybe I'll just go with them.

It's not that I don't know that there are a lot of less than reputable electronics/camera goods dealers in Brooklyn....but really, I figured this thing would be relatively safe... it wasn't actually a smoking deal or anything as far as value for the money the new ones are probably actually a bit better, but even the smallest one now has so much more hard drive space that they automatically start at a higher price... it's not an item that you can really up-sell, there aren't (as far I as I know) gray market versions of it... geeze... how wrong can you be...

Sigh.... I didn't really want to to spend $300 on this, when the 40GB drive would do just fine.... I could just chuck it all and buy some more CF cards. One of the reasons that I was going with the drive was that it worked out to be about the same amount of $$ GB per GB as buying (cheap) CF cards and I could use it to show photographs. I do need something though. I'm going away for a whole month and I'm not taking a computer...

MY DH had a horrible problem with a camera place online a few years ago and I am wondering if this is the same place. It was in NY. He put out some horrible reviews online, somewhere, and received a call from the place to PLEASE stop and they would fix the situation. Maybe you should do this, if you don't get satisfaction.

Oh indeed - I've been searching down every review site I can find and I'll keep doing it....

I've come up with a solution. I found a used 1st gen 64gb Ipad at a local and reputable dealer. I'll get the camera connection kit and then I'll have my storage and a very, very nice display... It was a bit more expensive than a stand alone store/viewer, but not much... and it will be useful for other things too.

Dear Knee,
Would you stop hurting?! I didn't do that much to you today, why the grief? Little bit of twisting to load luggage, then a stroll in the city park. Stop! Enough! I see 800 mg of motrin in my future.

Very cool! Someday I'd like an ipad, it would make flying so much more entertaining.


Dear contact solution makers:

4 ounces has not been an acceptable travel size for FIVE YEARS. Do you realize how much money you're missing out on? And how frustrated you make all of us contact lens wearers? You pick the ONE thing that I can't just buy in bulk and repackage, and still can't make it right. aowiejfa;iwj;awijefa;oija;oegh.

It is....if you go through the hassle of declaring it

Check with your eye doctor. They often get 2-oz. sample bottles. I was able to get a travel bottle of RepleniSH this way. Thankfully my solution of choice, Clear Care, is available in 3 oz. bottles.

Dear line at coffee shop:
I realize the fact that I didn't eat breakfast this morning was my fault, but could you leave or dissipate or something? I'm hungry!

Dear gyno,

You can be a good doctor and understand women's health very well, but do you have to do be so harsh about it? I tried explaining what a rough last year and half have been, my struggle to drop the weight regained and you just tell me I need more exercising and better eating. And not very kindly. Didn't you hear the part about how I understand all of that, it's the getting back into the routines and not feeling so darned tired all the time. I'm mostly used to your ways and have learned to not dwell on them. So....

Dear allergist,

Thank you for being so warm and kind, listening to my health struggles and interested in working to find a solution. AND you were genuinely happy for me that I started biking regularly again and encouraged me to keep it. You were also happy for me that I'm dropping weight again. When I complained of the glacier pace, you said it said as long as it's going down and am exercising I am moving in the right direction. You were awesome to focus on what's right. Thanks, I didn't realize what a lift I needed and you did it.

And the Costco box has been re-done, and now includes 2 large bottles and a 3 oz bottle. Hooray!!

I was so happy to discover that! Not only is it (a lot) cheaper at the warehouse store, but it's now more convenient
