If you're a beginner, starting with Adobe PS Elements may be better. It's like Photoshop, Jr. It's usually under $100 even available at Walmart some times. I have dabbled with trial versions of LR, but I still feel more comfortable tweaking with my old copy of PS CS4. LR really shines for pro's processing a ton of photos in a hurry. One friend used to work with PS CS5 exclusively, but now he post-processes a few hundred photos in an hour or so with LR and only uses PS for more intensive work on a select few photos. If you plan to get more and more involved, you can pay more now for LR and consider it investing in your future.

[quote name='Seabeejason' timestamp='1352213195' post='839973']I have to fly to Chicago tomorrow afternoon. I told my boss I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to be sending me to Obama's back yard the day after he loses the election. Seriously, I'm not too happy about it. I won't have my side arm or even a damn pocket knife. Nope, not happy at all.........[/quote] I sidestepped a trip to Detroit this week. I can relate a little.

[quote name='TMF' timestamp='1352176164' post='839852']I'll be leading a group of high schoolers-turned guerrilla fighters against Marxists government troops on selective ambushes to undermine the efforts of a massive assault on free Americans. Oh, and I'll be nailing Leah Thompson, circa 1984.[/quote] Don't forget the UN poll-watchers. And Christie Brinkley, circa 1984, wants me to tell you she says hi to Leah.

I'll be calling the White House asking them to tell their boss that losing an election (or having one stolen) is not equal to being crucified. Let me be clear, the messiah gig is over.

I have G30 envy. If I ever get a Glock, that's what it'll be.

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1352166662' post='839735'] An earlier excuse was something about an airplane crash that contained the ballots. I'm really thinking this was contrived to suppress votes. Not blacks, but soldiers. He despises the military and I guess he wants them out of the vote. [/quote] Ron Brown... Ohhhh. That was low. I'll play nicer in my next post.

Morris' latest video still stands by a 300-325 electoral vote win for Romney and predicting the losers will cite the polls as proof that somehow the black vote was suppressed, and the UN dorks will stand there and nod in agreement.

This is probably the most infuriating aspect of this whole circus.

[quote name='gjohnsoniv' timestamp='1352142093' post='839450']Maybe the Obamaphones are a way to track potential threats .[/quote] We could at least count the number of times each phone went to the polls to vote!!!

[quote name='TripleDigitRide' timestamp='1352131337' post='839371']Moral of the story; don't drive your new vehicle for the first week of ownership. [/quote] My first new car got rear ended in the first hour I owned it. I saw it coming and eased up a foot or two giving the prick a little more room. That saved it. The only damage was hairline cracks in the bumper cover. For the Memphis Peeps, it was a spoiled brat rich kid from CBHS in his paid-for-by-daddy Jeep Wrangler. He had been changing lanes back and forth. When he jumped behind me for the 2nd or 3rd time, I had to come to a complete stop. Someone was parking using the right lane of the major street. That was a ticketable offense so I was told. The cop was pissed that I waved him away from his radar trap a block away to come see my wreck. Then the jerk determined the damage had to be under $400, so he refused to write a ticket on the kid. New cover and paint was $780. The prick's parents cut me a check. I would have rather see it go on their insurance. That kid was a total nuisance the way he was driving.

[quote name='TMF' timestamp='1352043657' post='838852'] Joking??? I'm in my bunker right now! The past few months the interwebz has told me that this week will see the end of free elections, nationwide martial law, gun confiscation, widespread rioting and the total breakdown of our system of government. This is end times!!! God for forbid the Obamapocalypse doesn't happen... we'll have egg ALL over our faces.[/quote] I read on the Interwebz that the election has been postponed to 12-12-12!!! LOL

[quote name='K191145' timestamp='1351991328' post='838582'] It all depends if you want to join the crips or bloods, I think crips wear blue bandana,s and bloods wear red bandana's. Wear a confederate flag bandana and you can shoot both crips and bloods. [/quote] I laughed so hard that my dog gave me her go-to-hell stare!

Crap. Does this mean I need to go to the range and practice shooting my pistols horizontally like a gangster? What color bandana am I supposed to wear?

Now Morris is sending out alert emails stating things are tightening up in a few states suspecting Obama is getting a boost from looking so kind and lovey in the aftermath of Sandy. One poll had his favorability rise from 48% to 50%. Whatever.

Not to mention the non union help would run circles around the union workers. They don't want to be shown up on their home turf... LOL Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I agree. How many movies have portrayed a war-mongering president not caring about troops they put in harms way or situations similar to Benghazi? Here we have Hollywood's prince of a president doing the very thing Hollywood stereotypes upon right-leaning administrations. It just makes me furious.

When Kalifornia quits being stupid. Never. Hehe.

I'll add this. Even Clint Eastwood's speech was about firing Obama over the economy. If the media would report the news with zero bias, I would have some hope that Freedom loving candidate would defeat a socialist candidate even with a good economy. I think too many Undecided Voter types are too easily swayed by the media. If they weren't brainwashed, maybe we'd have a chance regardless of economic conditions.

I want to agree with your every word so bad (Mr. Limbaugh tells me to, the eternal optimist he is), but I can't. If the economy was doing okay-to-fine, we would be guaranteed four more years of Operation Freedom Strip. The only reason Romney is going to win is everyone wants him to fix their wallets. They don't care or understand how, they just want rid of what is not working.

I'm kinda partial to my SW99. Pretty close.

I don't recall what the issue at hand was, but I recall reading some of his comments on something that opposed the presumed conservative position. It was more libertarian. He seems to grasp the Constitution quite well rather than just following one party's platform.

Yep. He told Pootin' he'd be more flexible in his second term.
