Cameras are pretty notorious battery-eaters. -sm

In Reply to: Got new digital camera, resistent at first and now those darn batteries - Newcomer to this electronic world
The more-expensive batteries said to be made for electronics usually have a longer life. Still, it never fails - my camera will scream, 'Low Batteries!' right about the time the PERFECT shot is in front of me, and I end up missing it.
(Grrrrrr)
Since I use AA's for lots of things around the house, I buy large quantities of the generic brands when they're on sale, and when I'm out taking photos, or on vacation, I make sure I have plenty of spares on hand.
Another battery-saving thing you can do is turn off the digital display. I rarely use it anyway, except to look at and weed out photos later, and I prefer to use the viewfinder. That can save on power.
I love my digital camera, and have saved so much money on film and developing, that it has more than paid for the camera, let alone the batteries it eats.

Cameras anywhere?
There was a case here in my town where rings were stolen from a lady in the ER that was dying! The person finally caught. You might check and see if any cameras around that might have caught the person in the act. If the charges are that high for care, there should be something in force to verify the person doing this. Check it out.
Considering there are cameras everywhere in Vegas -sm
if it was him it is sure to be on tape at the hotel. Hopefully the man is not that s*t*u*p*i*d to do such a thing, but who knows, who cares really. It would be quite ironic if he got locked up on a burglery charge though.
RE: Digital Cameras - has anyone ever had a problem with your (sm)
digital camera and the LCD not displaying? Is there a fuse or something that possibly burns out??
Must be tricky for picky eaters!
No child has ever turned this down. My cousin's son would not eat anything except four or five foods and she bet me he wouldn't eat it. You have to give them five bucks to "try it" and they keep eating it (at first they say it is just "okay", but will eat it anyway. I don't know why, it seems like it could be something yucky to some of them because it does have broccoli in it. They ate that too after having it served a few times.
Denise's Casserole
One large can of white chicken or two small cans drained.
Two boxes of Noodles Romanoff or similar from Noodle Roni - Prepared.
A bunch of broccoli and use only the "little trees" - wash, rinse and put in glass dish 13 x 9 or so and add a half cup of water. Steam in microwave about 3 minutes. Drain.
One small box Velveeta "grated" (it is soft, so that term is used loosely)
Mix noodles and chicken with a wooden spoon. Salt and pepper a little.
Move broccoli to the side and then Pam spray the 13 x 9 casserole dish and space out broccoli evenly in the bottom of the pan. Spread prepared noodles mixed with the canned white chicken over the broccoli. Cover it up!
Place Velveeta over all and bake in a 325-350 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes until bubbly.
Tell them at first that they only have to eat one tree. Next time, two. It worked with all my kids, with all my relatives' kids, and others. They start to like it and I let them help bake it. If they make it they are proud, so they will taste it. Branch out into other stuff slowly. My husband and I got tired of them wanting this three times a week, but it worked.

Another thing, if they like spaghetti you can grate vegetables and put them in the sauce. Start out small.
You can also add grated potato and carrot to ground round with maybe some rice and grated onion (if you grate it they can't see it as well), eggs, etc. to make meatballs. Use cream sauce if they don't like tomato based sauce, like the jarred Alfredo sauce, or make your own with cream and parmesan.
Good luck.
You make sure you have a good battery.
A battery up here in Michigan lasts about 3 years, then you're gambling on whether or not it'll start. I carry jumper cables in the trunk just in case. It's not that bad.
LOL, hubby and I had a car that would not start if the temperature was less than 10, even with a new battery. It would start if it was 11 or 12 even, but if it was 10 or less, no way.
My cousin's dog died because of one. The battery went dead and the dog got hit by a car. Very s

A 'Panic Mouse' battery-operated toy is great - sm
for young, frisky cats. Mine has kept 2 consecutive cats occupied, but currently it's set aside with a wire that came loose inside the it doesn't run. (Have to get my brother to take a look at it.) I also have a cat-video, but kitty has to be in just the right mood to watch it. She also enjoys GOLF!
Try rotating cat-toys. If they lose interest in some of them, hide them for a while, and when you bring them out a couple weeks later, it's like they're brand-new to the kitties sometimes! I also made a toy that hangs in a doorway. I sewed a mini-mouse to the end of a long shoestring, attached to a stretchy ponytail holder and then to another shoestring (the ponytail holder gives it some fun rebound when the pull on the mouse and then let go). It's hung from the middle of the doorway by a small nail. That, too, sometimes has to be set aside, but when it's kitty's toy of choice for the morning, it sure has her jumping high!
Finally, I feed the birds, squirrels and hummingbirds outside my bedroom window, and the cats like to sit on a tall dresser next to the window and watch them.
Back when I used to work away from home all day, I used to hide cat-treats in various places throughout the house for my cat to hunt for during the day. My first cat could find them ANYWHERE... her nose was like radar. My second cat, however, had to have them always hidden in the exact same places, or he couldn't find them. Still, it was a nice diversionary tactic I used just before I headed out the door each morning.
At other times I put odds and ends on my kitchen table intentionally for a bored cat to come along and knock off the edge. (Plastic spoons, an eraser, pens or pencils, hair clips, cat toys, hair scrunchies, etc.)
If they're those teeny tiny ants, those are the sugar eaters. Got anything

I think Consumer Reports mentions cameras in the gift issue. See if

Brown rice w/roasted veggies and feta, pork chops for the meat eaters. nm

that is a pretty big
generalization... you can't know everyone's story and how they ended up with bad credit. There are people out there who are irresponsible and do earn it and sadly many people are also taking advantage of the bankruptcy laws in the same manner, making it harder on those with true misfortunes or catastrophes. But don't stereotype everyone into one group, it isn't fair to do that.
I like that name that's pretty
Have others over, pretty soon will not have
to worry about that with the parents of the other child calling? She said parents almost did not let them come over again. If I were the other parents probably would not think visiting this child would be a good idea on second thought if the husband acting up. I might opt for entertainment for the children somewhere besides where he would be unless he could keep that trap shut.
Pretty much....
The thing is, it's not guaranteed either. It "may" prevent you from getting HPV. The thing is, with regular paps, you can prevent/detect/treat just the same. I just don't feel they have done enough research on this vaccine to have released it and a lot of the severe side effects that have been experienced are really troubling. I know there are side effects with everything but there seems to be an abundance of really severe side effects and some girls have died from it. Also, from what I ready, it is only good for 5 years. They are now saying young women (ages 24 to something, can't remember if it was 35 or 36) should also look into taking it. I would just prefer to stick to my yearly paps as I know they are not going to cause any side effects. Also, as another person stated, we don't know what kind of effects these will produce down the road. It's just scary that they will come up with something, only test it for 6 months, release it and expect it to be made mandatory for girls of certain ages, and without really knowing if there are any long-term effects. Anyway, sorry for rambling. :)
Pretty dog! nm

Fox is so pretty!!! sm
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I think it's wonderful that you posted this information for others to read. I had never heard of dogs tracheas collapsing, so this was new info I learned. Thank you for sharing.
Pretty cat! (sm)
The Christmas packages without bows reminded me of my cat, Flannel, who had a bow fetish. I could never leave wrapped presents around once bows were on because Flannel would sneak in and pierce every bow with her teeth. I saw her do it the first couple of times and she'd close her eyes and chomp with a look of ecstacy. She was a freak. 
Pretty?!?
..She looks like a he-she - she looks manish with a strong jaw. I really don't see where people are calling her pretty.
It's sad, so sad that women will sell their bodies to attain a lifestyle of comfort. It's sad that a man in Gov. Spitzer's position of great power, influence, and celebrity, would buy sex. These characters are examples of the lower base human beings. I don't feel sorry for the girl. I don't feel sorry for the gov. Theirs is a gross and base existence. No souls inside of them. There are plenty of people who rise from abuse, terrible pain and injustice, and became decent human beings and exceptional ones at that. What these two did, anyone can do, common, but most human beings rise above the animal in them. What they did any animal can do. The girl will go on to pose in a nudie magazine, cry about how misunderstood she is, boo-hoo,and make millions. He'll get some type of so-called rehabilitation and all will be forgotten until the next sex scandal. There is a fine line that divides humans and animals. We know what side they were on.
Yep, that's pretty much what I think, too.
We have our little spats but things are pretty good and I wouldn't trade him for anybody else (obviously). 
I'm pretty sure....
the Total Pay card is not affiliated with a bank. It used to be affiliated with US Bank, get 2 free tell withdrawals a month and 2 free ATM withdrawals a month, but they no longer are affiliated with them that I know of. You could probably Google it and find out. I know my friend had one and she could actually put money on it, despite her pay being direct deposited on it. I could never put money on mine, except for the direct deposit of my pay.
Pretty name : )
Thanks for the stats. It is always fun to hear. Not matter which way her hair color goes, I'm sure she will at least have some red highlights. Very pretty!
Another thing I told my daughter is to not take her baby too seriously when he gets into a crying fit. He has a bit of her emotional personality. He will get wound up and then need to scream it out even when he has gotten what he needs. Lol Sometimes it can feel like they are yelling at you or something and gets upsetting (especially when tyring so hard to be a good mother). I told her just realize he has emotions bursting out and just let it happen.
I will say that looking back at when my kids were babies, you can really see their personality right from the start. :)
Ooooh pretty!
Yeah, it is pretty bad, when you
pull out your Stedman's and there's a dust bunny on it larger than the cat! lol
Googling, googling, googling....... away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
It was pretty bad, at one point she was trying
way too hard, did you see her body jerking? It was bizarre. And she still couldn't get it out nearly as good as either one of the other two girls. She's never been a great singer, it's been said often. Just another one that's more show and not so much talent pushed into the biz by her parents. I never really followed her music and have to say I was very surprised she was that bad.
all of those plants are pretty well known -
but how many flower arrangements have lillies - and I had never heard about that. So - no cut flowers either. Nope, he had never had any wet food in his entire life. The vet is still perplexed - we have done renal ultrasounds and blood work. His BUN and creatinines were off the charts. I frankly don't know how he is still alive at this point.
Well said!!! Pretty much sums it up.
I wish more people in the world thought like you. It would be a much better place. =)
Maks is pretty hot too - at least he's
still around.
Feel pretty much the same way
I don't get why people just believe the whole god/bible thing. People tell me it's faith, which is great for them. However, I'm more of a science based, believe it when I see it type of person. The bible to me is just a big book full of fictional stories without fact that people have been brain washed for years into believing. I'm not one to just believe things blindly without questioning, and that's my big problem with religion/faith/god/whatever. In my opinion, it's quite silly to just believe it because someone told you to. People don't normally do that with anything else, but for some reason they will do that when it comes to god. Don't get me wrong, I don't think they are bad for it, I just really don't get it. 
I think Kaitlin is pretty. NM

Fox's is getting pretty ragged
I got him the lavender one. Only one of the squeakers works now, there is a rip in the seam, and it is just generally raggedy-looking. But it's his Bobo! 
Pretty sure he's done that too - no proof (sm)
He admitted it once but then took it back immediately and denied it from then on. So are you still with your husband?
Now THAT's pretty funny--

It is pretty individual sm
I had the same August 29 of last year. I was working on my second day home (not a full shift, but a couple of hours), taking all my vitamins, water and food with no problems since day one and following all of my doctor's orders. I had minor pain, but mostly relieved with Tylenol after three days or so.
Then I see people who said they couldn't work for six weeks, even at a desk job, couldn't eat a thing and went to the hospital after four days for dehydration because they couldn't stomach more than five ounces of water a day.
Good luck and speedy recovery.
Pretty calico!
She looks like a queen to me ... if she wants to march across the counter tops, what are you gonna do?? hehehehe
Admit it...pretty!

That's a pretty dog and I'm sorry you got bashed
I know there's zillions of folks that think all dogs and kids should run free doing whatever they darn please 24/7, and they all seemed to have jumped all over you. But I say, thank you for not being one of those people and training your dog - and loving him too!
No...actually he was pretty neglected...
and we were young when we met. He had never recalled being hugged by his mother, no story times... He didn't even know his ABCs and he was 14...The woman left these kids, ages 8 and 4 to live ALONE, while she lived across the street with her boyfriend...Neighbors would drop off food on the doorstep, but no one called social services back then. This woman is a class act. I loved my ex deeply and nurtured him even as a teen and he treated me like a mother figure at times...He still keeps in touch with me and we are close, as we did bond young in life and he had a horrible life.
What a pretty baby....sm
Glad Buck got to spend time with you, even for a little while...He was a real beaut. Cat
No, but Heather is a pretty name. NM

Pretty in Pink
Iona: Does he have strong lips?
Andie: How can you tell?
Iona: Did you feel it in your knees?
Andie: I felt it everywhere.
Iona: Strong lips.
Just goes to show even pretty
people can be insecure. She definitely didn't need any work. I really don't think people age right after plastic surgery, which is why they go back for more.
i'm pretty sure it was a garmin my
daughter just said her boyfriend got -- that it will TELL you which way and when to turn, so you don't have to take your eyes off the road. Sounds pretty good!
Thanks you! I wanted to say that you are a very pretty
doggie mom! (If that was you in the picture). They are soooooo lucky to have you! Have a great weekend and kiss those babies for me!!!! 
Pretty scary, isn't it?
I just don't know how much worse this nation must get before it is worse that Sodom and Gommorah. Those cities must have been wicked beyond compare. Part of me says "Wait just a little longer, Lord" but another, ever increasing part of me says "Come even so Lord Jesus."
Yep. I actually did pretty good with (sm)
selling stuff. It was just the part where I had to get the shakes to the cars that was the problem. I had that job for over 1-1/2 years, and to this date I still can't skate. ROFL.
The first one is pretty manly looking...sm
so you could probably wear that one, Tech. But, forget the high heels and wear muck boots instead.
That's pretty cool! My cat already has a
bed set up on my desk, but she still insists on standing right in front of my monitor. So, I have these little 'barriers' of odds and ends and other assorted stuff on either side: Kleenex boxes, cups, a vase, a camera, a pair of binoculars, stuffed animals, and MT books - to keep my working space clear, but now my desk always looks like a tornado hit it!
