You haven't even asked me how the wife is doing. She's fine, thanks. Last Sunday she developed severe chest pains, so I rushed her to the ER. They admitted her and ran some tests. She was fine; then they kept her overnight to give a stress test (Put something in the blood and watch it go through the heart, walk a treadmill). She did fine, but, they held her another night, waiting on the results. Do you know how much money all this comes to? Now you see why I've got to win the lottery.

Yeah, but how much do you get in one payment, and how much goes in taxes?

In Canada, all lotteries are paid out in one big payment.....and, all lotteries are tax free! :wink:

I'm sorry to hear that your wife is unwell. I don't recall you mentioning it to me before, but if you have, I apologize for not following up.

My wife is one that has high blood pressure, and has a family history of heart problems in her family line. I'm always worried.

I hope your wife will come out of this event okay. I can truly understand how you must feel.

Also, although our medical system is different than yours, I can feel your anxiety about being able to cope with these bills that are mounting.

Although money doesn't buy happiness, it certainly does create additional options and opportunities that one did not have before.

Let me know how it all works out, Edgar.

So, I finally went out and bought a digital camera today. Had to rethink how much money I wanted to end up spending for all the bits and pieces and decided to buy down a bit. Still happy with my choice though.

This is it:

Canon S2 IS

http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/S2IS/ZS2ISA.JPG

This camera takes 4 AA batteries, so bought rechargeables, of course.

Upgraded to a 512 MB SanDisk Secure Digital disk.

Got a nice tripod, too.

What do you think of my choice?

Ooooh! Nice one Reyn Cool


Hope you have extra CD's to burn the pics on...too many pictures takes up a lot of hard drive space.

Edgar, waiting to hear if your wife is okay too.

If you don't have health insurance, those hospital bills can be outrageous.

Yeah, we've got CDs, etc, but most of the family type stuff will be printed out and deleted I'm sure.

A lot of my own work will probably never get printed out and saved. I'm going to start a thread here with some of my best stuff I think.

I missed the last posts by you and colorbook. Turned out it was stress and not eating properly. She's home safely.

I only print a small amount. All my digital camera pictures and videos are on about 50 cd's.


I found that I can fix my photos (resize, sharpen, frame, recolor, etc) then put them back on my camera's memory card, take them to a store that has a photo machine and have them printed there.

About seven years ago, the same thing happend to me. I was having chest pains and my husband rushed me to the hospital. After a series of tests, they found nothing. The doctors ruled stress as the cause. No problems for me since then.


Edgar, glad to hear all is well Smile

Yeh, the people at her job were giving her unnecessary stress and she had took to eating just sporadically. She left that job a few days ago, and her health improved dramatically.

One the one hand, I'm glad she wasn't having a heart attack. Not that excess stress is any picnic. Believe me, my wife stresses about too much stuff.

On the other hand, I hope after this event, the twits at her work location will cut her some slack and take what's just happened into account. Not to look for trouble, but who knows next time, right?

All the best for us to your wife.

Hey, and you look after yourself, too, okay?

Yeah, we plan to use an online service that the store where we bought the camera offers.

We have valuable old photos on CDs that just can't be lost.

Sorry to hear of your health problems, too. Stay well, eh?

I look after myself by constantly looking for better ways to eat. I get plenty of exercise at work. I avoid docters as much as possible, as I do not trust them since they started pushing designer drugs instead of trying to cure people.

As you know, I work as a meter reader. Well, I get lots of excercise. I've already got it planned for next year when I'm not doing that anymore.

We bought ourselves a handy dandy excercise bike. You know, for when the weather gets so lousy outside and you don't feel like going for a walk, etc.

Fortunately, I've never had a weight issue, but understand others that do. Tough to stay on an even keel.

We used to have an exercise bike. I found that it didn't get me anywhere. We gave it away.

I work as hard as I ever did and will at least about three more years. Just this evening, I had to go to an apartment that was flooded and move furniture and take out the pad under the carpet. Then had to use a shop vac to rmove as much water as possible. The toughness of the job was compounded by the fact the woman living there has become increasingly sick and can't clean up or take care of herself. The source of the flooding was her ice maker. In all my years on the job I've never seen an ice maker make that big a mess.
