What's a dentist pharmacy? (i guess that's a no by the way)
- SteVe C
I had no idea there even was such a thing as a "dental pharmacy". I've only ever seen "pharmacies", where they dole out all the drugs, no matter what kind of doctor prescribed them. Although, I've only ever lived in the DC area, so that may be why
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
I was joking. I call my pharmacy ==> way the dentist pharmacy cuz its across the street from the dentist.

"My own long-term goal is to publish at least 1,000,000 photographs before I die." Good long term goal. My husband is a subway photographer and has nearly 18,000 photos of trains only on his website as accumulated over the last few years. I wonder if he'll get even close to 100k!
- Tamar Weinberg
My only photography goal is to start taking pictures again. I stopped for some reason as I started getting distracted by my other interests. :(
- James (@willia4)
Just to get better. I hope I'll have more time taking shots too.
- Chris Nixon
GET a real camera without my husband freaking out about the price tag!, learn how to use it, post fabulous photos on Flickr! which dump over here

My two photography goals for 2009 are 1) Actually learn the non-auto functions of my camera besides manual focus and "No! Don't Flash at distant things" and 2) Get better at low light and lunar photography.
- Daniel Cornwall
To be better than I was a year before, to hopefully have a proper dSLR, and to have made some spending money from my photos. And to have fun.
- Grant Bierman
To have a camera I could shoot a gnat from 100 yards with. and to take some classes so that I can use it. Ok, 50 yards...
- InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
take 4x the photos I took in 2008 and publish once a week to flickr
- Mark Interrante
To take enough photos in 2009 that I fill all the hard drives of my new Drobo.
- Bob Gannon
I have a new camera, so first learn how to use it properly. After that, remember to use it regularly and not just grab my iPhone.
- Rochelle
I want to shoot more with Thomas Hawk. I also want to edit more of my photos.
- Robert Scoble
Get geared up with my 5D, learn some good lighting skills and start taking my food pics to build my portfolio.
- Derrick
Build a Macro Studio and take better food photos for blog. Meet with the local photographer photo-walks. Play with my new UV filter.
- Heidi Jeffers Thibodeau
Getting a quality camera and developing my skill is one of my retirerment plans; a don't think that will happen in 2009.
- Robert Hafer
To meet more photographers in real life and go on adventures with them.
- Trey Ratcliff
I want to continue to get better with my camera. I've only been shooting really for a little over a year so I'm still learning. I also want to shoot some studio sessions as that is something very new and challenging for me.
- C.C. Chapman
Thanks to this thread, I took out my Canon Powershot S1 manual (three years old) and figured out how to 1) Take pictures in sepia, 2) Successfuly work the delay time to take a photo of myself and 3) Use the successive photo feature. I used the last on my cat, but I couldn't get him to move, so not worthwhile to see. I look forward to trying a few different things a month and seeing what happens. Thanks for starting this thread!

Sorry, Bran. I'll cook some non-gluteny stuff next week or the week after. Promise!
- Heather Solos
Eh, it's not the gluten this time. It's actually that I don't like sausage gravy. Thus the "belonging here" part. How very non-southern is that?
- Bran Mydwynter
Ah, then check out the post, skip the gravy and add more cheese
- Heather Solos
Well I *still* can't actually eat them. :)
- Bran Mydwynter
Sorry, I guess I shouldn't have said anything. It's just...I keep getting thwacked in the head recently but signs that I really don't belong here. I hate boiled peanuts, and sausage gravy, and ham. ...anyway. Nevermind.
- Bran Mydwynter

OK, so Apple messed up their security, they charged the wrong man, and shipped the increadibly valuable giftcards for content licensing. However, PayPal has to pay the bill for Apple's mess. And this would cost PayPal some real USD 450, while Appla would have lost the some licensing income it was not entitled to in the first place. This is not to say that PayPal should not be a LOT more prepared to protect their customers. However, Apple is much more to blame. Hey Apple, give that man his money back!
- Andrey Andreev

I have a 2 posts about PayPal difficulties that I experienced lately and I get overwhelmed with negative reactions from Dutch PayPal users. Accounts are frosen and the users can't do a thing about and little reaction from Paypal.
- Erno Hannink
Yeah, reading this it's really hard to see how PayPal is the villain. If they were responsible for the $450, it would give "preauthorized" Web site owners little incentive to beef up their security or audit their systems. After all, PayPal would be on the hook for any problems that arose. I'd think differently if PayPal's system had been compromised, resulting in a loss.
- mrshl
This post seems off target to me. Apple is the company that currently has $450 of his money. Why would PayPal be responsible for paying him back?
- Dan T
PayPal sucks. Heard HORROR stories from my business friends. A lot of top people at PayPal have gone on to great business positions, but they've always sacrificed customer service (from what I heard). (1) I leave as little money as possible in my PayPal accounts (2) Do NOT connect PayPal to any bank accounts with serious money in them. Open a new bank account just for PayPal. PayPal has been known to suck $5-10K back from a bank account. They are not a bank, and not subject to the usual regs!
- Mitchell Tsai
A real CC/Bank gives you an EXTRA layer of protection & added clout when negotiating with a seller. Not only will I take you to court, my bank will reverse the charge. You forfeit that with PayPal (something to consider with all these business ideas for internet money-handling) and with Debit Cards. I've had a bad credit-reversal argument with Washington Mutual concerning my Debit Card (only $99, but it's the principle). Now I use disposable $25 debit cards for internet nonsense (& hotel reservations).
- Mitchell Tsai
Maybe if enough people raise hell about this, they will snap out of their pipedream and realize that a potential exodus of millions of customers and dollars would not produce a net gain, and that their petty fretting over pittances could cost them a real fortune.
- david beckwith
That is why I keep my PayPal account "Un-Verified", use a card with VISA on it for member protection and only when I go into a selling streak do I verify to an bank account specifically for that use, with minimum funds in it. Say $20. PayPal can do things to me as they wish. When they have, I called VISA, told them what happened and they handled the situation within a few hours as matter of fact.
- Nope Not Listed Here
There is a great saying I once heard "You may agree to waive anything you please, but that does not change the rule of law". The quote was from the California Department of Labor, in reference to System Administrators being subject to overtime as opposed to what their employment agreements state. So PayPal can say what they wish, fraud is fraud.

I once had a huge problem with eBay and it was semi-combined with Paypal. Paypal came to bat, for me, and offered to pay eBay, on their own, to resolve the situation. Ironic considering they really are one-in-the-same, but my eBay seller account needed immediate action and only Paypal had a customer service telephone option. I've decided to limit my connections with them.. to limit my own personal liability.. because of what I've read.. for many years, now.

"Do you worry about having a big butt or those unsightly “thunder thighs”? Researchers state that having a little extra weight in the butt and hips may protect you against type 2 diabetes.

I'm sorry, too. I remember being in a support group for depressed/bipolar folks one year, and we bemoaned the complete absence of cards that say, "Happy Mother's Day to the mom who beat me up every day" or "Dear Dad, you raped me when I was a child, but I have a happy marriage now, so eff you this Father's Day." It was bizarrely fun to "write" all the cards that the folks in the support group wanted to give.
- Ordinarybug Heather
For several years, in a row, I sent my father different cards with the exact same wording. "Fatherhood is full of many challenges." "Happy Father's Day from One of them!" I was just his memory of a bad marriage, when he was married to my mom, for five minutes.

What would you do? Just had an interesting exchange with a co-worker. She and I are working on a project & the people who've been on the project previously are out today, so neither of us truly knows what's going on. I asked her if she told the client that, she said she'd rather just fake her way through it. I have the exact opposite reaction.
I would admit immediately that I'll try my best, but I have no history with the project so any of my fumblings or misunderstandings are explained. And then I'd try to knock it out of the park!!!

Serious question for the Americans.... When someone in the media say's "thats Un-American..." it hit's nerves with most of you, so what I ask is.... what does being "American" mean to YOU.?
When they say that it makes me mad just because I think its stupid to say that someone is unamerican just because they do something that you don't agree with.
- Mathew™ aka Youngblood
So is THAT how those who say it mean it?
- Rob Sellen :o)
It obviously means many things to each individual. What it means to me is the spirit of Freedom and Democracy, to be part of the group who designed the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution. To identify with the thought that our civilization could be Governed by an elected body to represent Justice. For me, I'm part of a connected world where we offer hope to "The Tired, The Poor and The Huddled Masses of the World." We are still but adolescents only some 233 Years old.
- michael sean wright
So...when someone said "un-american"...how does tha equate to your meaning? why did it bother you? What do those who say it really mean when they say it?...For those who say, these people say it simply due to you not agreeing...it can't be simply not agreeing? that makes little sense.
- Rob Sellen :o)
I get the feeling they say it BECAUSE it riles people....
- Rob Sellen :o)
For me, the frustration is that when most people say something is un-American the person they're speaking about is actually doing something that is *decidedly* American: exercising their right to free speech. And when an action is called un-American the person making the accusation typically means the action doesn't meet the expectations of how things have always been done. Just because something's always been done one way doesn't make it *the* American way.
- FFing Enigma
Being "Un-American" (to me) is one who stands in opposition to the Bill of Rights. In my Opie Griffin world, being Un-American is any attempt to suppress, control or manipulate Free Ideas and marketplaces through corruption.
- michael sean wright
I have no idea what "American" means. I think it may be a kind of cheese.
- Seth Gottlieb
it's also the mantra of nationalists that see any critism of their home country as an act of sedition rather than the obvious - a grievance with how the place they call home is being run. People need to drop this "un-american" phrase because it itself is "un-american".
- alphaxion
I think that I feel something "Un-American" is against tradition... Being the melting pot makes it difficult to specify what is "American".. But, there are traditions that make any country.. sports.. foods.. holidays.. history.. experience..
- Heidi Jeffers Thibodeau
The phrase "unAmerican" to me conjures up thoughts of the 1950s McCarthy-era Communist witchhunts, which ties in with alphaxion's definition. In that sense, "unAmerican" means leftist, radical, anti-conservative. Nice Fice Films' definition is more what I think is actually American.
- Jandy
Cecily, what u describe is definitely NOT american, at least how your "democratically elected" gov has conducted itself since the genocide of the indigenous people on this continent and then exported around the world - nothing new, ditto for other imperialist nations, including kanada.

You have to be here to understand it Rob, What does it mean to be British?
- orionstarr
As I asked.. what does it mean to be AMERICAN.... not what does being Un-American mean... From some of your answers I still can't see WHY that word would offend you? . If someone in the media had said I was being UnBritish.... I wouldn't give a toss... WHY? Cos they dont have a damn CLUE about me! ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
@Rob: IMO, "unamerican" is really just a code word. folks all have their own imagination about what terrible things make up "unamerican." if you can toss this one at someone, the hope is folks use their wild imagination and assume the worst. i doublt many folks see "unamerican" as 'the opposite of american' - they just see is as an epithet.
- MikeAmundsen
hhm... interesing view... I can see it like that, it's a code word to use to piss Americans off...and ONLY used for that reason...
- Rob Sellen :o)
So that word means bugger all then....NEXT time you hear someone on the media say it...ignore it.. ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
Greg...ALL people? I don't think so.... why should we live to your standards?
- Rob Sellen :o)
Who's standards then? The American standards?
- Rob Sellen :o)

- Rob Sellen :o)
It simply means having American citizenship to me. The rest is about being human or inhuman.

Martha...so when they say YOU are being UnAmerican.... how does that translate? how are you being UnAmerican?
- Rob Sellen :o)
I say that they can say whatever the heck they want. Don't chap me none. To thine own self be true. I never use the label to describe anyone else and my answer is merely what the label means to me. Can you tell I am not particularly fond of the label?

Martha.... "to thine own self be true" .... thats is the best line in the whole thread. :o)

David....100% wrong, I am just trying to understand why that word angers so many of you...it makes very little sense at all.... to me it's a strange respeonse to a word that means bugger all.... I mean, they say it JUST because you disagree with what they say..... how the hell is that making you UnAmerican??? baffling to me that is.... if it was said over here... ie, someone said "you are being UnBritish".. we would say "wtf has that gotta do with being british?"... making THEM look silly... :o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
