My Sunday, June 21st

I did something I don't do very often. I went to bingo on Sunday at the Moose Lodge. I had a wonderful time with my friends. Took some pictures and, won two bingo's! I won an "Early Bird" all to myself for $62, and 1/5 of the "$250 Grand Prize Blackout" for $50. I even won a side game; the hardway during the "blackout" for $7.50 It was very exciting.
I didn't forget to thank the Lord for his wonderful blessings in my life. He has been very gracious to me. When it looks like I'll run out of money to play bingo with my christian friends, I'll win enough to keep playing. I always say, "I play to win, and I win to play". I don't use my income for bingo money. So the Lord is truly gracious, loving, and understanding.

New pictures

I have been taking some nice pictures with my new camera. Some are of my friends and neighbors, and some are of my dogs. I even took a really amazing picture of the clouds one night on my way home from church.
I am trying to get pictures of all my friends and family to post on my flickr site. Friends are fairly easy. I see them all the time. Family is the difficult part. They either live 200 miles away, or out of state. I will have to work on those ones.
I have been told that the new pictures of my dogs are really good.
So, please, if you would, visit my flickr site by clicking on the "My pictures" link. God bless you all.

I bought a digital camera

I bought my very first digital camera. I've been looking for 2 years for one that has a picture card AND downloads to a computer. It is an Olympus FE-370. It has a lot of features. It has 8 mega pixels, 5x optical zoom, 2.7" LCD monitor, image stabilization, face detection, smile shot detection, perfect shot preview [4 choices of each shot], perfect fix [auto correction], and movie and sound capabilities. It came with a picture card, a memory card and a case. It cost me $99.99 at Costco, with an instant manufacturers rebate.
I think I made a good choice. This camera will last me a very long time. I love to take pictures, and even have a flickr site to share them. I have been using my cellphone to take pictures for my computer and sharing. Now, I have a camera that can take better and larger pictures.
I'm looking forward to learning how to use it. I will have lots of fun.

Laptop Connect

Laptop Connect did not work. I live too far from the "data" signal. It was slower than dial up, and many things didn't work at all. I am back to bluetooth connectivity through my cellphone. It works, because it uses the phone signal.
I bought a new charger for my cellphone at WalMart. It works better than the one that came with it. It kept letting my phone battery discharge while I was online, even though it was plugged in. So, I would lose my Internet connection. It doesn't do that anymore with the new charger. I'm glad that I figured out this problem. I thought it was over-heating my phone. It all is working great now. I have 115K, and that is fast enough for me.

I am going highspeed!

I am going to get my "Laptop Connect" USB connecter tommorrow! I will go from 115K to 3G. This will make my internet time more productive. I will have more time for other things, and not be online so much. This will save my cellphone from overuse by not having to use it to get my laptop online [via bluetooth connectivity]. This will save me money on cellphone replacements, cellphone battery replacements, and bluetooth connector replacements. I will take the internet access off of my cellphone and just keep the texting option. That will be $20 less each month. I figure I will break even on the internet charges versus, cellphone and bluetooth costs.
Yeah, I'm going highspeed!
