You know those threads where people are asking the sex of their bird and it's clearly a boy and you wonder how blind the OP is.... I really want one to be a girl.

I think most of those threads are purely created out of denial.

Might be an East coast thing.

Apparently there are 12 Checkers in Houston. TWELVE. LOL

23 in all of Texas.

No Rally’s. They’re the same company, merged in the 90s, but some areas they brand them as Checkers some Rally’s lol think it depends on the region with some overlap ha but yeah...

How did you not know you have TWELVE in Houston!? Lol

We eat out way too much around here. I get spurts of where I don't like to cook (and I am the only one that cooks). And I am not an adventurous cook when it comes to flavors. Sometimes nothing sounds good to me. I am so finicky. I think that is why I keep trying to garden. Am hoping that having an appreciation of something that you grew yourself, maybe we will try to use those ingredients more often. Some of my strawberries are starting to turn red. That makes me excited.

Who knew a silly strawberry plants could make someone so happy? LOL!

What would you consider a comparable model within the Olympus series? The only nice camera I've ever used was my sister's, and it was a Nikon.

There is nothing wrong with a Nikon or a Canon. Olympus no longer makes a DSLR with an optical view finder. They abandoned this line of cameras in favor of a micro line up that has an electronic viewfinder. The E-5 was their flagship model at the time so their supposed equivalent flagship model at this time appears to be the OM-D E-M1X. These are interchangeable lens cameras which can cause a person to spend a small fortune between the lenses and the camera body.

For a really nice point and shoot camera that will do both macro and telephoto, you can get the Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ80 (the latest version of the camera @BantyChooks uses) for under $300. It has an optical zoom range of 60X.
