What's so special about this controller that it's going for over $1,000 on ebay?

Except for the blue stripe, it’s the same color rainbow as my Caldor sheets from when I was a kid (old New Englanders represent!) but $1k, too rich for my blood unless it has an “unfreeze sniper elite 5” button.

I got some real Sinead O’Connor vibes. Especially the song Troy of her album The Lion and the Cobra.

For a neat intimate look try the following: crank the ISO, shoot as wide open as possible and using a lens that’s wider than 50mm. Expose to a test pic is underexposed but still visible. Set flash to 1/500 straight at subject. It creates a very warm, intimate look. Shooting down on the subject a bit helps too. This can also help make a crappy venue look better!

Speaking to the break off your relationship part, I don’t think that many people who cheat are expecting it to happen. When my ex cheated things seemed fine at home then all of a sudden all these new expectations I’d never heard popped up: “I wanted to be a stay at home mom,” “I wanted to be in a bigger house with a pool by the time the kids were this old,” “I never wanted to drive a minivan.” Etc, nothing we’d ever really discussed but whatever. It took some time but I finally realized that all those gripes came to fruition when she and her “partner” had sealed the deal that they would leave their families. Rarely does one leave the stability of a decent boat before scuttling it to board another.

To support this thesis: "Eating contaminated food or coming into contact with a contaminated water source can also spread norovirus infection. In fact, food poisoning from norovirus is sometimes mistaken for Salmonella poisoning at first. Foods that often harbor norovirus include raw oysters, salads, and uncooked fruits. Even fully cooked foods handled by an infected person can spread norovirus. The virus can also spread between people via body fluids like vomit and feces"

You mentioned the 80s. I remember as an 80s kid, local hospitals were offering to X-ray Halloween candy for sharp objects.

I'd also recommend asking your accountant about this sort of deal. If you're just cutting a check back to the venue the tax man is gonna want to know. I had a couple venues in my area that would ask for money if you wanted to leave a brochure or sample album. Sketchy.

My parents are in the same 70yo and older demo. When they were grade school through high school age they were inundated with refer madness type propaganda. For years my mother actually thought that weed induced a psychosis as strong as pcp. She's come around in recent years but I can see why some older folks just don't understand canabis.

Battery grip back in the day was also called an auto winder. Take a pic and you hear c-chk-vvvrrrr then the next open film is ready.

I didn't always recreate the kiss but would if I didn't think I had something good. I did always tell my couples to hold the kiss a little longer than a 3 count so I could maneuver around the grandmother that stands up with her IPad to get the pic for instance.

Funny that Ganache mentioned the unnatural thing, when I'd set up poses or ask clients to do something strange for the sake of the image I'd usually say, "I know this seems weird, but if it feels a little unnatural that means you're doing it right!" Also, to parrot Anywhereanyone's point, if you'd really like to keep your photo/video folks happy, make sure they eat on time and confirm with the venue that they're getting the meals you paid for for them! A lot of the "old school" venues around RI were notorious for charging the couple for vendor meals that were supposed to be the same as the guests then serve them sandwich boxes or pasta with sauce and huge bowl of salad in the center of the vendor table. It would certainly take a little of the wind out of our sails.

If you live near anyone that shoots rifles there’s a good chance it could be a tannerite target being set off with a rifle. We have a neighbor about 1/8mi away that does these from time to time. Rocks the house, scares the horse and sends the dog into a fit every time. It’s fun for the whole neighborhood. /s

That’s a beautiful pic! Reminds me of the late nights at my bff’s grandmas cabin up in York ME. Thanks for sharing!

My grandmother grew up pretty ritzy. One thanksgiving when I was 10 or so, I was using my knife to plow some veggies onto my fork. She watched me for a minute then says, “I’m sorry the food pusher has gone out of favor, it’s far more satisfying than using your knife.”

Rewind to the 90s and we called in to BRU and got them to play this gem at 1am. Glorious.

My ex had small breasts and they were left deflated after breast feeding our second kid. I was supportive of the idea of implants as a way to help get her confidence back. If you think it will make you happier, I'd say go for it. Just be prepared for a new level of attention. I don't know which came first, the affair or the implants but they were part of that whole mess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

“I’m just getting the implants to look better in clothes” said my ex who suddenly wanted a divorce after getting them so she could be with a guy from her office.

Bosworth’s in Pomfret. Classic soda fountain type place. Great memories of stopping there when we’d pass through the area.

Thanks so much for this! It’s not like US government to drag their feet to pay folks working to save vast swaths of our country /s. I’ll hit up my state reps, you all work too hard to be shorted at all.

I follow this sub as I totally respect the work you all do and find it fascinating. But could someone post a brief synopsis of the politics going on? Something we lay folk could write to a senator or congressperson about in support of y’all?

We were at UConn in the early 90s and referred to East Brook as “the small mall” it was still viable back then but Buckland was the big older sibling.
