There use to be a "Donate" button a few updates back. It's been missing for a while. However, I'm sure Bob can figure out a way for you to help pay for the upgrade. 

Please bring the button back! Would it work with international transfers ..Pay Pal etc ????

Me too. I see that the "Rank" under your username in your posts says "Resurrected One." I hope that doesn't mean what I think it means. (Did you really....?) 

Yeah! 

What lens? 

Got Sigma 18-35 Art 1.8  

Well done! 

I think its in one of his interviews on youtube that he tells us about the extra footage but I can't remember which one, as some of the interviews were not my cuppa tea, but I can't remember which onesl

Did you see it on YouTube? Can you send me the link via PM?

gemstone.. no, I saw it on Netflix

Do you have Netflix?

Congrats!!!

Any possibility there could be some pics of the completed project

you'd be willing to share?

Yes... in September (When attending RC) as I am not there now. 

Our Assembly Hall is more then 50km from where I live.

G'day Greg. Hows Melbourne winter & your family?

Howd'y Miss Bea.

Surprisingly sunny ..bit cold though.. worked wearing a short sleeve today ..

Greetings as well

Yesh!!! Nice when it warms up.

The funny thing is that the parents "commanded" daughters to attend meetings as they want them to grow up as decent human beings ... (this a long story.. very long... very long lol)

It's a weird world.... Happy it's going right for them now.  We do stand as different from the rest of our worldly families.  Jehovah's way is the right way in this fickle and hardened world.  And sometimes they have to admit it.

I'm so happy to hear that. Good work!

Fair dinkum mate. Thanks.

I realised that it was publicly visible so decided to go with an alter-ego.... still a doctor though!

Does "The Bill" still have a big following over there in Oz? I really miss that series. I do follow the actor who played Danny Glaze from CID in the series as he's from my old home town. The episode where Don Beech feigned his death was filmed in your neck of the woods.

Ah but I digress!

The Doctor is just as fine, even though 5 is not my favorite. 

Very noticeable when the Turtle is missing.

Hope we hear from him soon.

Interesting. He took the picture I posted above and is using it as his avatar now.

Looks like our beloved tortoise has gone into 'lurk' mode.

Use Start full screen - OFF. it was ON before and I did not like it at all.

Now I have additional column next to the icons with actual words. Nice.

Windows 10 grows on me as we speak ..its not bad...

Looks like that now.

Thank you.  I have dragged the other laptop out of the cupboard and had a play around last night.  It is a Samsung Notebook that belonged to my daughter and is actually almost new although 6 years old.  She had it about 10 months and it was on the floor next to her bed and she trod on it and broke the screen. She used an external screen with it for a while but she ended up buying herslf a cheapie as I refused to buy her another one. I have decided to get the screen fixed and have already put WT Library on it so I can use it for study and also for doing my genealogy on. This old Vaio of mine is more like a PC as it never leaves my desk. The little Notebook will be perfect for using in different rooms and will help me get used to Win 10.  

Without wanting to be dogmatic, from what I have come to know, it is outstanding, it is not given very often, if a man becomes named before the age of 25, supported by the guidelines of the organization, minimum must have served 3 years As a ministerial servant and having demonstrated that he fulfills the requirements of the Bible, his brother's life must be such that the brother should see him as such in the congregation or in the field where he serves, for example, in the area of Bethel, the last word is the GB

Maybe he broke his arm or hand and is in a cast.  He can only type with one finger in his non-dominant hand.  This would make typing very difficult. (Just trying to think of reasons.  This happened to me recently...I could read but not type much.)  

I also miss his well-researched, well-balanced comments.  Very encouraging to me personally.  I hope he's OK.

@Gregexplore Do you have his number?

I'm glad you mention the brother, I missed his well thought out research too, I hope all is well.

Lucy thanks for your input... the problem is - we want "traffic" for people to  see our carts.. 

It looks like local Councils are bit "overzealous" in their application of law and order.

Yes, totally agree.  We are limited in our territory, unfortunately.  A bit of a backwater.  But Jehovah can direct interest anywhere, I guess.

I am still sad and disappointed because we had such a sweet spot for our Cart...  not any longer ...followed by 100 sad faces.

I hear Bali calling you ... 

If you call Bali "untouched", then think about rural territory with majority of Muslim... 

Indeed, we need more workers here! 

In the English congregation in Coín (Málaga Province) the brothers have more than 600km² of territory to cover. Here on the Costa del Sol is a great place to live and the more relaxed way of life is conducive to a more enjoyable ministry (even in our Spanish cong). I know they have a special day to work new territory every month so if you feel like serving where the need is great, step over into Macedonia Spain!

Side note: Here in Spain we call a mixed fruit yogurt "Macedonia". Factoid of the day!

Yep ... I am in Bali just dropped my Canon 7 D into the swimming pool ... stopped working .. LOL  

Oh no.  That is not good, Greg.  Do you think it might be okay when it dries out or is it RIP Canon and while I'm here I'll see if I can get another, hopefully real, one duty free. 

PS the 'like' is not like as in 'like' .. just acknowledgement.  xo

Rip Canon. I have insurance and already made a claim 

going to upgrade to full frame after return to Aussie land .. in the meantime I use my Sony compact back up camera and phone LOL

Thanks Lance 

I am doing further reaserch although I want something with "art" sigma lenses. 

G.A.S very serious condition.... very expensive to cure...

Gear Acquisition Syndrome...

I have have had a few bouts of that over the years .... good glass is ohhhhhh so nice  

GAS is a nightmare but I really need good glass (many reasons)

Apparently Sigma 18-35mm is a PRO glass for crop cameras.

No IS on Sigma should I be concerned? hmmm

The Valley of Decisions plus GAS LOL

Yes I know but she is not from Bali

She is my friend on Instagram.

Ahem...

Bouncy girl is back!

Oh no, the earthlings have found our stash! 

I know many people that would like to move there. 

Whoa start building a really looooooong straw and siphon it back to earth 

Beautiful calculations thanks 

I told you I'm not good at math. LOL  I worked it out as 2017 - 1984 = 33.  2017 is this year. 33CE is when Jesus died. Difference is 1984. 

I don't know that this is the right way to work it out, though.  How did you reach your calculation, Alexa?

@Gregexplore  where are you going?  

173 at mine, which was the early one.  My daughter and I went to the later one because of her work.  Not sure how many but not more than 70 - 80 though there were a couple of new interest/RV's which was nice. No partakers.

I'm yet to watch it, so I'll keep this in mind, thanks

I loved it!

I didn't understand anything

Intercore.... Pacific Area had live stream including governing body representative giving a talk plus experiences etc ... 

Amm, now I understand. Our talk will at the end of the May.

*will be

There's a lot of different stuff on TV about Russia, today ... or maybe I'm just noticing it more. 

You would not like it here, bro! 

Light note:

Person: What happens when one writes a letter to President Putin?

Expert: The letter would get filed and copies would be sent to other bureaucratic entities like secret police agency FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) and the espionage agency SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service) to ensure that you are not a known spy. If you're not, they will add your name to their list of "future possibles". That way if you decide to travel to Russia in the future, they will know you're coming and may meet you at the airport.

Imagine Postal workers sorting out letters .. Russia ..Russia .. Russia again ..

What a witness.  For all involved.  I've written my letter, and a sister and I are walking to the post office today to get a stamp and envelope.  I hope to ensure it is received by April 5. 

Imagine receiving about 8 million letters. Blows my mind.  All thanks to Jah.
