As many of you know, my dinosaur of a digital camera takes lousy pics. Well, Lori (sitnwrap) traded one of her gorgeous wraps for a digital camera and sent it to me as a gift! Heck, just telling me she that she was going to do it brought tears to my eyes, but when it came in the mail and I opened it, well, there went the waterworks LOL.
This camera was really such a thoughtful gift, and actually trading one of her wraps for it was ... *lost for words* ... such an unselfish act. Lori didn't know me from Adam. Sure, we've both been here on the forum for a long time, but we had never like became close friends or anything on here. This was really an incredible "random act of kindness", and I'll never forget it. What a truly beautiful person, through and through.
Lori, thank you so much, for the camera, but more-so for the kindness that you showed me at a time in my life when things have been pretty bad. I don't think you can possibly know just how much this has meant to me.
(((BIG HUG)))
Michael

Hugs back atchya . Only too happy to help. Heck, my friend needed a new wrap from me anyway and with all the beautiful cabs that I have received from members here, it made the swap easy; plus she has tons of electronic stuff. I'm glad you got it and hope it helps. Thank you for the acknowledgement Michaeljohn. Looking forward to your pics. ;D

This is what makes this board such a great place to hang out. This kind of stuff makes me proud to be a member here. I have seen Lori's wraps and whoever traded a camera for one of her wraps got a killer deal, it is probably worth alot more than the camera!!
Now we will be expecting a whole lota pics now!!

I sent Lori a GFI, so she would stop shocking herself And she wrapped a cab that Tony sent her for me in real gold, I was blown away, it is the only wrap I have in gold, and I love it. Michael, I hope the new camera helps you sell your rocks. I certainly appreciated the little goodies you included in my order. What goes around comes around, and it is always better to give than receive. I try to live by that motto! Amber

Steve, you hit the nail on the head ... just "angel" doesn't cut it, she's a SPECIAL angel!
And thank you all for your well-wishes. I actually FEEL like things are going to come around now, not in such despair. I feel like there's reason to be hopeful, motivated, and ambitious. I feel like tackling that desert location again! Oh, wait, I wanted to do that anyway LOL.

Well, I beefed-up the camera's memory from 16Mb to 2Gb and bought the special USB cable to connect it to my puter. Here are the first results, taking pics at my kitchen table of a piece of agate from my desert expedition last week ... I'd say that's a pretty massive improvement from my old camera! And that's just the first few shots! Again, Thank You SO Much, Lori!!!

WAY To Go Michael! I don't know what is better, seeing you take good pics or that sweet box you sent me. Thanks tons!
Roxy, I think people are still looking for cameras for me as I haven't called anyone yet to tell them I found one (oops)so if someone else comes up with one, you get it.

I've seen many generous gestures here on the board, but Lori you brought it to a new level! WTG isn't enough said! You must be a one of a kind person!
And, looking at Michael's pictures, it seems to be a good camera!
