I've never really considered going private myself, but I know the frustration that comes along with censoring your blog. I found out a few months ago that my GRANDMOTHERS and my really conservative aunts read my blog. I'm surprised they haven't had an intervention yet because I *gasp* drink wine. I can basically only say I have A glass on occasion and will never post about the nights where I have more. Dang... b/c those would be some interesting posts too.<BR/><BR/>Lucky what you don't have to worry about is people googling your name. I wasn't thinking when I created my blog and I put my freaking FIRST AND LAST name as my web address. Now if anybody were to google my name (aka: future employers) they would immediately be brought to my blog (or the blog of somebody who has me as their link). So.... I am considering changing my address and asking people to take my full name off their site too. BUT until I start job searching, that isn't an issue.<BR/><BR/>Now... on the subject of cameras. I'm a Nikon girl... so the Rebel thing is lost on me. I LOVE my D80... and I believe there is a new D60 that is just a bit less. However if you're wanting a full sensor camera, go Canon 50D b/c of the price. Can't be beat for full sensor. Just can't.<BR/><BR/>Happy DSLR shopping! You've got a bunch of people out there who can help with any question you might have. :-)See Sherm Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17240327259956616217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663265962597445841.post-63072425520534975002008-06-13T19:18:00.000-07:002008-06-13T19:18:00.000-07:00So great seeing all those pics of your family! Ho...So great seeing all those pics of your family! How your sisters have grown! And your parents are still both adorable.<BR/><BR/>I realized that extended in-laws (grandmas, cousins, aunts) were reading my blog and it kind of freaked me out. I realized if I want to blog in the near future it needs to be business related, which is a bummer because I am not doing anything of the sort. But I am more private like that (ie, I really don't want super conservative distant in-laws reading really personal posts).<BR/><BR/>I would still follow your blog even if it went private. You are a really gifted writer, and your stories always crack me up.<BR/><BR/>I miss you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663265962597445841.post-18239395966438640022008-06-12T21:58:00.000-07:002008-06-12T21:58:00.000-07:00hey sid! we can sit next to eachother!!!hey sid! we can sit next to eachother!!!always sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434422119257304918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663265962597445841.post-86160065890362643052008-06-12T20:39:00.000-07:002008-06-12T20:39:00.000-07:00I had another blog that my parents had strong diff...I had another blog that my parents had strong differing opinions about. It was a travel blog... I went to Amsterdam... you do the math. They thought it was a cry for help for my drug and alcohol problem. I don't think they even read the one I have now just in case I slip and say a bad word like "boobie" or "Malibu". Oh crap, I've already used both those terms. And now we can add "crap" to the list too.

If it weren't for the possibility of crazies finding my blog and hunting down my children I'd probably stay public. Also I read a few articles on photo theft and stealing kids pictures from blogs is rampant and I don't want my kiddos out there being exposed in ways I would not choose.IndianaJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02197596501737545856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663265962597445841.post-10599756412385234032008-06-12T12:36:00.000-07:002008-06-12T12:36:00.000-07:00Thanks for all the input guys, all valid answers w...Thanks for all the input guys, all valid answers with helpful analysis of my options. I'm going to stay public and just let you see me dressed as a pirate from time to time and that's that. I think it will still frustrate me to have some "off limits topics," but I'll deal. Blogging has become a diary for me and a record of sorts which I would like to not hold back on, but I have to. You can't talk about your family shit or work chaos to the full extent, but do I NEED TO... no. Hey, who knows... maybe I'll realize I can just call someone and hash it out over the phone. Novel idea. <BR/><BR/>Here's to keeping it simple! <BR/><BR/>*flashes boobs with reckless abandon*Home2K9 Pack Leaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932226643327127996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4663265962597445841.post-9950106909241324562008-06-12T09:11:00.000-07:002008-06-12T09:11:00.000-07:00I'm a lurker, I admit it.

I have a post that I need to get out there but some of you haven't registered yet and I haven't quite figured out how to notify y'all about the private post. <BR/><BR/>I figure it's easier to keep people around if they only need to log-in every once in a while, instead of all the time, but I don't know how it shows with a feed reader (if at all).<BR/><BR/>I have a Canon Rebel XT. I also have 3 lenses to go with it as I didn't purchase it with a "kit" lens. I have a Tamron f2.8 17-50mm Di II LD, Canon f1.4 50 mm and Canon f3.4-5.6 28-80mm lenses. I am about to purchase my next lens which will be a zoom and it's going to be a Tamron because I can't afford Canon. <BR/><BR/>I would love to have a full frame 5d like Ashley or Emily but as I am not doing this as a business yet, I just can't justify the expense without a job. I love my XT and it has done me well so far. I will continue to round out my lenses until such time as I can upgrade my camera body and then all my lenses will just transfer to the new one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
