I want to do the Eurostar when it starts from its new station St Pancras in a few weeks time.

Think we might wait a while to allow it to bed in. It was dead easy for us when it left Waterloo, but St Pancras is a bit more of a pain as it doesn't involve a train direct from Reading!

I think it will bed in quickly in fact it will be far better on new tracks than the old ropy ones in south London.

Happy Birthday Lauren!

Happy birthday
(Sorry if this is a double post, but I think the first time I tried it I lost it!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Sorry the photos are so big! They looked fine on the 'puter and Photobucket, I thought they would have been scaled to fit the DIS page. Guess I have some more learning to do.

I edit mine down while they're still in my Photobucket account.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN!!!

Ah well what a week for English and British sport, Football lost in Russia, so most likely out of European tournament in 2008, we can second in the Rugby final to South Africa, and Lewis couldn't make it to be F1, World Champion, ( well not this year anyway).

Seriously....

This is the sort of thing I had looked at before, the Uwa-Marine U-APX 100 ($285 at B&H Photo) - in part because I have lost a body to water damage once. And when I get around to picking up the next camera body (the 40D) then I'll probably want one of these eventually... but not until after I pick up these zoom lenses....

That is the enclosure they are using at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. I talked to the photographer about it and they like them.

I think it was $375.

If you got it at shutters, I'm sure it can be had cheaper elsewhere...

Are the ski resorts open yet?

Did some impulse shopping today. Ok, not too much of an impulse, but I decided this morning and purchased this afternoon. I have been wanting a dslr for some time now and all the talk of the Nikon got me going. Also, I loved the Olympus underwater to 35 feet! So.....

I got both!!

I got a Nikon D40x and the Olympus Stylus 770 today. The prices at Circuit City (which were matched at Best Buy - they had them both in stock) were $699.99 for the D40x with the 15-55 mm lens and $329.99 for the Olympus.

Guarenteed. Best Buy has it for $350.

Well let me be the first to say I HATE YOU!!!! (kidding )

Congrats!

I think my bar bill will eat up those OBC's.

Lorri, I think ours will dwindle the same way!

everybody - just ducking in to say hi and wondering if I can ask for some help from all you lovable and creative people out there. Turns out I will be hosting a Baby Shower on the 27th. Its kinda late minute. Anyway, we decided to turn it into a baby shower/costume party/poker night.

Laura, I'm just not creative when it comes to stuff like that. But it sounds like it will be quite the original get together

Totally missed the scavenger hunt yesterday. I was watching my children being tortured for almost 2 hours instead

Laurie, sounds like the kids had quite the workout! Congratulations to both of them on getting their black belts! That is a great accomplishment and they should be very proud.

I bought myself a Christmas present. I pre-ordered this DVD about Disneyland. I have the one that came out a few years ago, and thought this would be good to add to the collection.

Make sure you spill any of the good stuff in there to us

I guess that's why we have digital cameras and lots of memory (sort of a make up ....)

I can't complain, my DW got me the Canon 30D for Christmas...

Enjoy that one Tom!

OMG, Debi those are great!

They've done some "re-adjusting" on the boards. Notice on mine, Harley's feet are gone.

If you go in and edit your signatue and take out the extra line under your names and bouncies, Harley's legs should come back

Hey I have another question for the experts out there. If I want to add a small custome picture to my sign line - will that knock out my custom tags that the TF has given me?

I'd hate to try and add something and knock them off. BTW, has she made any appearances on here lately?

Laura, I don't think the avitar has anything to do with the tags, you could ask on the tech. board

Great pictures Andy! Your pictures make me want to do the snorkel trip at Castaway Cay next year! And look at that camera. I have two Pentax underwater cameras that I got the first one on the ship. No housing required and they take incredible pictures too, but not as deep as the Olympus.

Stace and I have that Pentax too! I really like it, I don't remember how far down you can go, but I know not 33 feet.

Ok, that's funny. In my 'swan song' editorial as editor of the student newspaper in college, I wrote about all things I had learned in college, including that the integral of 1/x dx = ln(x)+C. I then wrote that I had learned no one was ever going to come up to me and ask me the integral of 1/x dx.

25 years later, no one has.

I have no idea why I took five terms of calculus (well, really eight, since I took three courses twice).

J.R that makes you a real math geek!
I loved math, but NOT that much.
