LOL! Really you should inform your family that $350 on camera stuff is a miniscule dollar amount and is considered to be bargain pricing in some circles.

I wish they would just ship the damn 5D Mark II's already. This $2700 I have is burning a hole in my pocket.

hahaaa I have!! They think I should find a less expensive hobby. heeheehee!

I'm wavering -- the 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 would also do for the main purpose...but I would be minus portrait lens :(

Anyways enough of that -- am sending a few PM's but...college. Yes.

ah darn! i had that lens but sold it a month ago. i would have loved to have given it to you. sorry!

haha it's all good :) The 85mm f/1.8 would do better anyways, the gym I shoot in is really low light and I need a good portraiture lens.

Of course it is =) I actually collect the character sheets and comforters. Though my wife makes me share with my nephews whenever they come over... I have never been without a character comforter on my bed and I am 28 years old =)

Has no one else noticed that this year's winning Presidential campaign slogan was swiped from the Bob The Builder theme song?

No Christmas presents here (not that I mind much though). In my country, Christmas is not a reason to give presents (although some are adopting the American way of live with great enthousiasm). It is a reason to eat and drink way too much though ;)

Don't have kids, so I stick more to Disney animation films, lol.
AND...because I have no children and no nieces or nephews...and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Christmas...keep those wish lists going. I'm about to start sending out PMs. Ho HO HO! (I'd make a wondfully broke rich person!!) :P

Haha as I experience the first day of really wintery weather, I have discovered my dire need for a hat/scarf!

There were SNOWMEN outside my dorm this morning!! They were only about two feet tall, and a Sammy* boy kicked one of them over, but they were there!!! (We discussed the possibility of kicking Sammy down, but we decided we might need Chuck Norris to accomplish this.)

*Sammy refers to Samuel Morris, the gigantic guys' dorm across the street from my leetul tiny dorm, Swallow-Robin.

Silly question here...if you decide to send someone a prezzy...how do we prevent from doubling up? :) Do we need to post if we'd contacted someone or how does that part work? :)

Usually, some have just removed if they received something or strike it out. That's how its worked in the past.
