***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[muesky]

Not just Doctor T's but the chemical symbol for chocolate too!!!!!

I know right!!! They have some very funny shirts and the price is cheap!!! I think I am going to do the 10 for $50.. Heck that is cheaper then Wally-World...

Great photography is not about a fancy camera, it is about the "eye" of the one behind the camera. It is about knowing how to compose and what your camera can do and using it to it's fullest. I have taken many pics w/ Gary's $100 point and shoot camera that people have gushed all over about. You can give someone a $1000 camera w/ all the latest settings and lenses and get expensive crappy pics.

When people see a beautiful painting they don't say "oh how pretty what brand of paint did you use, and did you use "xyz" brushes???" but 9 times out of 10 that is exactly what is said about a photo. Okay I'll get off my soap box now


Please don't read that in an angry tone, it wasnt' typed in an angry tone.

You are so right about that Kassaundra.. An ex-boyfriend of mine was all into photography, spent lots of money on special lens, lighting set-ups, etc. and his pictures were crap and that is not just because he is my ex either.. He was not happy that I took better pictures on my phone then he did with his $2000 set-up..

Welp, I lost my Dorcus tonight, and I'm just heartbroken beyond words. I'm very thankful Dusti was here when it happened. How in the world we can go and get so attached to a chicken is beyond me, but I sure did love that bird.

I am so sorry for your loss.. It is difficult when we loose our favorites..

I agree. I never take your advice as angry, just loving

I didn't mean to sound like such a spoiled brat. I just can't understand how others can take something that doesn't belong to them. I feel blessed always.

I'm so sorry. I know how unbearable the hurt can be. As far as loving a chicken, I remember Bardies telling me "we love whom we love" when Little Britches died. It's easy to understand. Hugs and love for you

I'm very sorry. I most certainly understand loving a chicken, you're not alone.

Anyone here ever go to the Stilwell auction? Is it any good or worth the hour and half drive?

Quote: I agree. And a very good comparison that allowed for a kind of mental picture.

I didn't think you sounded likea "spoiled brat" at all, theives are maddening, you work hard to get something really special for them to callously take it. I hope you are able to get a good camera soon.

Kyz, I'm so sorry you lost Dorcus. I've been in your shoes many times as we all have. If anyone can understand the heartbreak of losing a favorite bird it's the folks on this board

Thank you guys. I know you all understand a chicken that isn't a chicken, but is closer to being a dog. I could hold Dorcus on my lap and he would climb up my shirt to preen my hair and nestle his head against my neck. If I stood still he would walk up and lean himself against my leg. He would follow me around and wanted to be right next to me whenever possible. With most chickens you know their "affections" are food-driven, but there's that rare one who truly seems to bond with a human, and Dorcus was that one.

Now I have to get one of the EEs back from Cathie Sue as a companion for Zima, my little Isbar. Zima and Dorcus were hatchmates, and were inseparable. When Dorcus started to get sick and I brought him inside, Zima started to go downhill, too. I brought her inside and put her back with Dorcus and she perked right back up, as if she hadn't been sick at all. If she gets sick because he's gone, it will be too sad.

The only one I would be more devastated at losing would be Bumpers. If anything ever happens to her I'm going to need a bottle of blackberry wine and a whole box of tissues.
