BTW, with my new computer and camera I am going to really learn Photoshop. Oh, I also ordered Photoshop CS4. I have a class starting in January that meets 6 hours a week for 16 weeks. This time I should have success. I've tried twice before but never had the program to play with and had to go use the college computer lab. The teachers were no help. I am determined to get it this time.

Not really, though had the price not gone down, I'd take it under advisement.

We bought oil today too., 96.5 gallons, hope they don't charge me that $25.00 fee for under 100 gallons. $2.06/gallon, BTW.

What was the price/gallon the last time you bought it, Lainey?

The highest we ever paid, $3.78/gallon, and it went higher than that for a while. I spent $500.00 for 1/2 tank last time compared to just under $200 for this delivery.

A huge relief for those heating with oil, especially those on fixed incomes. Winter seems to have arrived a bit early as far as temperatures. We've been running the heat for a while now.

Similar to you:



Home Depot had them $100 off, and a lifetime service warranty. I couldn't resist.

Also:
New Bluetooth Mouse for the laptop
Assorted DVDs

Me either

Bought myself a 32" HD flat/wide screen for the new apartment.

I have barely had time to watch it though!

I bought myself a new Dell computer. It was supposed to come Friday but they tried to deliver it today while I was getting my S's oil changed. My son made me do it. He was here on Thanksgiving and told me what I needed and didn't need.

I'm also going to buy a Canon 40D camera and two lenses as soon as I find the best deal with a reputable company.
you know where to send that crummy old camera right?

HD yes, not that good of a deal, I think it was $49.99 on black Friday. I would have paid a lot more to make the pain in my wrist go away...

I've had those for several years; long enough that one battery crapped out. I'm sold, because Home Depot had replacement batteries. Additionally, if you want to spend the money on batteries and charger, the Ryobi Lithium Ion batteries fit those tools.

I didn't think much of the flashlight when I bought the set, but I find it surprisingly useful. I also like the hand-held vacuum ("Tough Sucker") that uses that battery.
I looked at the Lithium Ion upgrade, nice option to consider. I think what sold me was the variety of stuff that could be added.
