Then, there is still a chance of my forgetting how to do it if I haven't done it in a while!! My husband is a technology guy. He's my gadget guru and he's good at it. I do exactly what you described...hand it all to him and walk away! God I never realized that before until I read about you doing it! Arggg@! One time I was taking photos outside with my new camera after a rain. I started taking closeups of drops of rain on a pine bow. I used every setting on the camera and took photos. Two turned out to be quite good...actually pretty amazing. The problem?....I had no clue which setting caused that and still don't!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324773183766269250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-86380901477923826332010-05-16T23:01:30.379-04:002010-05-16T23:01:30.379-04:00Funny post---but not too funny to you I'll bet...Funny post---but not too funny to you I'll bet. I hate to read directions also--especially when they are 1000000000 pages... Thank Goodness that my hubby likes to read all of that stuff. He reads and teaches me. That's the only way I could ever have learned to work my new camera. Hope you learned yours and got some Florida pictures...<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-10432566385399073722010-05-15T07:39:20.440-04:002010-05-15T07:39:20.440-04:00Ginkgo bilwhatta?

When I got my first VCR, I felt like I should have gone to college so I would know how to porgram it to record TV shows. Then it was the computer, the DVD player. Then there was the cell phone. I remember asking my 17 year old niece, "How do I shut this off?" It dosen't get any easier...you should have seen the chaos when I got my new digital camera. Not a pretty sight.<br /><br />Hugs, KathleenKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805905403535867038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-37122333239518258292010-05-14T09:40:01.384-04:002010-05-14T09:40:01.384-04:00Technology needs to be less complicated!Technology needs to be less complicated!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803472040500529682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-44089085257459017292010-05-14T09:14:11.934-04:002010-05-14T09:14:11.934-04:00And the moral of the story is: Never take a new c...And the moral of the story is: Never take a new camera on vacation unless you have to?

I suspect in a few weeks you will no longer be walking away from this new camera. Either that or Mr. Longlegs will be walking away with it and leaving you with HIS old camera.

And I live by that theory. I want things to be intuitive and work because I expect them to. A while back I needed to make buttonholes with my new sewing machine - easy, right. WRONG. I had to read four pages of the manual and practice several times before I got a recongnizable buttonhole - and the machine has several buttonhole stitches to choose from. Once I got them made I put the manual away and will have to get it out again to make buttonholes (if I ever want to again) because it has been so long since I made the first ones. I want my old singer back that just whirred along and made the buttonholes with one touch.<br /><br />Can't wait to see the photos you took. And I've missed you, glad you are back.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.com
