Peculiar

sometimes i think getting older is a brain tease. maybe when i was younger i was just too much in a hurry to notice some of the weird-ass things that are out there. this is stuff one just can not make up, and when i see it, literally in black and white, it makes me wonder all that much harder.

i bought a camera. a little pocket camera. its really nice. just like a's that she got after w dropped her's in the bay up in alaska a few years ago. i got a real good price on it, probably because it is being phased out, but what the heck, as long as i can get batteries for it..... it did, however, come without a memory chip. that kind of makes me mad that the manufacturer will sell only the camera and force you to buy a "got to have it" item just for it to work. that is not right. but the deal came with a free chip, which i didn't "purchase" at the time i bought the camera, and when i told the co. about it, they cut me a deal and will be sending me the "free" chip. of course i have to pay for the chip and they will refund my payment. now that is peculiar. doesn't that tug your brain? but this will ping ya hard.....this little camera has video capabilities. they dont get very good reviews on it and i didnt buy it for moving pictures, so it is no big deal, but this is peculiar. Check this out, it is from the manual. from the caution section. "Playing back for a long time may cause feelings of discomfort." Did you read that? what on God's green earth does that mean??????

honestly, i have been scratching my head for two days on this one. and i do not get it.

Seems to me if you play back a video of something comforting to you, it could make you feel uncomfortable about now being without it. So, try taking a video of something you really disliked, then you will feel better when you play it back because you no longer have it.
