Bonjour Ruth!

-> ->  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?
->
Don't know what their preferences are, I just 
caught the flies and put them in the refrigerator
(in a jar) until they were cold and torpid enough
to place where I wanted...in the fly traps...when
they started to move they hit the trigger hairs
in the plant and Voila...there's my shot!!
 
-> ->  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.
-> 
Water is good!

-> ->  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.
->
Oh I love sorgum! Benton County Tennessee sorgum, 
made by the mennonites the old fashioned way and
totally organic. It's an acquired taste and I
have it in spades! I love the dark strong stuff
even better! 
  
-> ->  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.
->
I expect that to be partially so, she knows
that it's more important for her to find
her happiness on her own terms and not 
always on ours (though hopefully those
two will coincide).
 
-> ->  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.
-> 
Here a half hour drive is hardly much
of a drive at all. And of course we have
lots of choices within that radius!
chat with you soon!
