I've been a member of a lot of communities and during the past couple of years also in some photo communities. Now...since I'm nosey I'd like to know if this is just an impression that I have or if this really is the case...but if you compare male and female photographers, wouldn't you agree that the guys tend to go for the new gadgets a lot sooner than what we gals do? And also discuss them a lot more. C - da one what wants to know

How can I not agree :)

That reminds me...did I tell you about my new CKX1000 supersonic laser lens? It is so cool it can take pictures without a camera. :-)

ROFL!!!

I'm toyly challenged

Have you ever seen guys with thier cars...and guys who fish. We like stuff like that.Least I do.But only have wha i know I will use. Bet if we have a look in your drawers we find things you spend money on that a guy never would...like 20 bottles of nailpolish and cotton balls.Women like having fancy flatware and little trinkets all over the place.I don't know of any guy who would buy those little decorative rings that go around the stem of a wine glass.

hehehe Actually...you would be surprised how clean my drawers are from "things" in general :p And decorative rings around the steam of a wine glass? Hm...is there any purpose for something like that or is it just a...gadget? Or women and their handbags....rolleyes Meesa doesn't have one of those either :p

My number one superhero is no other than.....Inspector Gadget, LOL. The only thing standing in my way from getting the latest of everything...is indeed a female so i wont argue with you. Oh...and im also quite cheap, lol.

I agree with Doug...LOL @ those winestem charms,but some of them are really cute and they DO have a purpose.It's so when you're at a party you know which glass is yours...alot classier to use wineglasses than plastic cups wouldn't you say? Oh and about cars...well I guess I'm like a guy then.And I couldn't care less about handbags...ugh! Doug,didn't you once post something about the differences between men and women?It was really funny...

Well Andreas, you would love my wife in that respect...she encourages to buy 'toys' 'cos she knows its my passion ;)

You're right Marlene I did post something once... I rememeber now... Going to have to find it in my files somewhere. "winestem charms" See I never even knew the name of them. LOL

LOL I don't even know if that's what you call them!But I do hope you find that post,it cracked me up! :^D

Ladies - Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.
Real Women - Leftover wine?? Hello!!

Ladies - Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
Real Women - Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink. You might still have the headache, but who the hell cares!

Ladies - Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
Real Women - Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake. You are probably lying on your ass on the couch, with your feet up anyway.

Ladies - To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
Real Women - Buy boxed mashed potato mix and you don't have to worry about the potatoes growing arms and legs.

Ladies - When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white powdery mess on the bottom of the cake.
Real Women - Go to the bakery - they'll even decorate the sonofabitch for you.

Ladies - Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
Real Women - Sara Lee frozen freakin pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over shit, so don't do it.

Ladies - If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non slip grip that makes opening jars easy.
Real Women - Go ask the very HOT neighbour guy to do it.

More toys? hUmmm...MY toys do functional things, as I remember from the last time I used some of them. Then again, there is a closet of mine and the entire top shelf area is full of shoes..the wife had need of more room for shoes. Ever been there when the right pair of shoes could not be found? Speaking of toys... Well, we do define things differently, the boys and the girs. Where Brian stands on this, well, suspect shoes and toys. I don't know and cannot and should not speculate. My mitre saw is wonderful when I actually use it.
