Re: OT - Flipper and the Feline

That was interesting. From my experience with cats, it seemed more affectionate than hungry. The dolphins were curious, but they are very intelligent so that's not surprising. I suspect they don't get too much chance to see cats. On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 4:52 AM, Brian Walters wrote: > Cuteness

I'd love to have some deep philosophical attitude toward Facebook, but mostly I just can't be bothered looking that often. I have a minimum sort of a page because I go there sometimes, but it just doesn't float my boat in general. On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 6:04 PM, Peter Zalabai wrote: > Pentaxforu

I agree with Dan. The same bokeh works fine in the photo of the woman eating because their is a an element of clarity (the face) to center the shot. JMHO, of course. On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 9:16 AM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > I really don't care for it, Sasha.  It seems to be more a portrait of

Re: peso - me

I really don't care for it, Sasha. It seems to be more a portrait of the bokeh than a silhouette portrait of you. The portrait of the young lady eating is a very fine image, however, and more to my taste. Dan On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 12:17 AM, Sasha Sobol wrote: > http://www.flickr.com/photos/s

Actually, it appears that the dolphins are playing with the cat, rather than the other way around. The cat looks like it is interested in lunch. Dan On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 4:52 AM, Brian Walters wrote: > Cuteness alert! > > http://www.slothster.com/2352-Cat-On-Boat-Plays-With-Dolphins.html > >

In the US it is possible to enter you phone numbers into a "no call" database. That eliminates most of the calls, although charities and political organizations to whom you have contributed and merchants with whom you have transacted business can still call you. https://www.donotcall.gov/ I gues
