Yeah.  That isn't in the plan here but I am still hopefull.  I am not sure
about 'rich' though, or what that might mean.

Minus the regular printer, that has been my methodology too.  The batch I
took (or my daughter) with that camera was overkill with repect to
resolution, etc. but this way if I ever get around to having them printed
they will be able to stand blowing up to larger sizes and still look sharp,
or so my theory goes.  For viewing on the computer they could stamd some
trimming byte-wise without suffering.

Weird.  I had to start from scratch, except for one who was (is) still
married.  His wife was nervous at first but eventually realized that I was
problably the safest guy for him to hang out with since I am not prone to
sharing or matching up women to my friends ... or even the reverse now that
I think about it.  I don't like to be responsible for other's
relationships, bad or good.  They should be able to take care of their own
in those circumstances.  I know I preferred that for myself so it made
perfect sense to me, and still does, that others can handle this aspect of
life.  If they can't then I certainly can't for them.

That seems to be the case, except they have nothing to worry about there. 
In fact if they realized the truth then they'd rather their husbands hang
out with me since I tend to be suspicious of strange women's motivations
and always advise on the side of caution, if NOT advise to the married ones
to forget about it and keep their peckers in their pants and their hands to
themselves.  ;-)

 SC> Hey, maybe they will allow us on the ark together. ;-)

Perhaps.  I haven't asked, have you?  Maybe we should build our own
stinkin' ark?  Perhaps Carol will come up with that crabby boat yet.  Heh,
heh.

Seems highly likely but only an observation here.  I wouldn't really know
from experience but there does appear to be a corelation.

 MK>> I hear you.  That really sucks.  I feel for you.

There you go!  Glad to hear it.

That was the biggie with us.  Our lives went completely different
directions somewhere along the line.

Same here.  Doesn't really bother me though for whatever reason.  As long
as the few are good and true, and I the same to them, then I am relatively
happy with that particular issue.
