Hi Hap,

->  HN> If I'm shooting flowers it doesn't matter,
->  HN> the don't seem to mind conversation!

-> I don't think they would, as long as they know you're harmless. Just be
-> careful around the Venus fly trap so you don't end up as its dinner tho.

 HN> Somewhere among my  negatives, I have a really
 HN> good series on the venus fly trap! I even had
 HN> captured flies for the session!!

Catching flies to feed the fly trap for some photos--now that's really
getting in deep to get pictures! Do the plants prefer live or dead
flies?

->  HN> Yep...amazing how people will wear
->  HN> designer sunglasses and no hat.

-> And wonder why the unprotected areas look lobster red a few hours later.

 HN> Never confuses me that way!!

Same here. Out in the sun, a big floppy hat & sunscreen, with a water
bottle. I'll take off the hat in the shade but keep working on the
bottle till it's empty, then go for a refill.

->  HN> I try to avoid the sweeter ones, unless
->  HN> I make them myself with sugar substitutes.

-> Only sugar sub Steve likes is the Stevia type. We don't use white sugar
-> but do use brown & tubinado plus liquids like honey and molasses.

 HN> We use the stevia aslo, and splenda which
 HN> you can use in cooking as well. I like
 HN> molasses (Anne does not) but we use honey
 HN> and lately she's been liking the agave
 HN> syrup.

We've not yet tried the agave syrup. Did get some sorgum at the farmer's
market a couple of years ago, never replenished after the first pint or
so was used up. Didn't need another sweetener on hand.

->  HN> Not much (yet)very little eye contact
->  HN> and uber shy.

-> If they're serious, he'll get over it, although you may have to wait a
-> while.

 HN> Yep, important thing to me is that Amanda
 HN> is happy and it seems that she is. Anne and
 HN> I will be as patient as needs be. If it takes
 HN> time, it takes time.

Yes, but she will want to make sure mom & dad approve of him.

->  HN> One would have thought they'd have been
->  HN> a bit further apart...but it seems like
->  HN> they area is all clustered around Phoenix
->  HN> "proper".

-> Got to be close to where the action is; it costs money to drive in from
-> too far out in the sticks. Could be too, developers had the "east coast
-> cram everything together" mentality. (G)

 HN> May not have been the original intention,
 HN> but it sure has gotten that way!

Yes, but sometimes the long drive to/from a place makes you appreciate
it more. When we were at Fort Huachuca, we went out maybe a half hour or
more's drive a couple of times for our anniversary. Sierra Vista had a
limited number of nice places so we'd go a bit afield to try something
different. Same with HI--not much around Schofield so we'd go down to
Honolulu or up to the north shore, here we've gone to Raleigh. Went to a
German place in Durham for my birthday last year. At the price of gas
tho, we will probably stay more local this year for eating out.
