Tom. Your story about your new telly amused me. Congratulations BTW. Telly makes the world go round ;-)
So you do contribute to the list. I hang her to learn about photography, but I also hang here for the joy of the ride. And this joy is in telly buying stories like yours, pictures of Shel's old shoes, Godders car, and Ann's scrabble tournaments. It is about life. What am I trying to say? I'm not sure, but I believe it is something like this: Not having a DSRL is no excuse to stay away from the list. Once you have subscribed there is no going back ;-) Yes Tom. For many Christmas is a tough time. And before Christmas we tend to run in circles buying gifts, some making gifts, baking, and buying food. All in the name of Christmas spirit. When it finally arrives we are exhausted. On top of exhaustion, all the family events, and all the expectations. For many it ends in disappointments. Here comes the Christmas blues. Money is what makes this go round. And those who do not have much money feel inferior. That's a shame. I'm afraid it just the same here. Because of the blessings from the oil most Norwegians are rich in money, but poor in their souls. Personally I'm not very rich in money, and I don't know about my soul ;-) Anyway. What I enjoy at PDML is much about photography. But it is also a lot about the list life. Meeting people. Virtual meetings like you and I talking to each other now, and meeting people in person.

(Time to do something withthe listahmosphere?) But nobody forces us read that thread! I don't know, I have been here awhile, but it seems worse than ever before to me. Of course there is no way I can afford a DSLR, so that is not too interesting to me. Mostly, I no longer feel I have much to contribute to the list. And then it is the holidays. Many folks have real problems with the fact life is not like you are supposed to pretend it is right now. Also, the commercialism over here is enough to drive one crazy. Be merry and spend, spend, spend! Is it like that over there? Tim Øsleby wrote: > I totally agree. > But there is always somebody responding, keeping the flames alive.
