I have to admit it; i really don't have plans to purchase a Hummer or a mattress.

The truth is, I got tired of reading bad news in my newspapers so I cut them up last Sunday and took this photo.

I do, though, like to shop. Especially for camera gear. -Bert

i highly recommend this mattress though:

it is kind of like the tempurpedic but has a pillowtop

Thanks for the sage advice about the mattress. That leaves leaves me with more credit for the Canon Mark II, which is shown in the ad with the fireman.

As you can see from the photo, I should have added studio lights to the list. I am worried that 5 cards may not be enough to meet my needs. Hopefully another card will arrive in the mail soon.


Best Regards,

Bert

Nice shot! Oh, as for your urge - stay away from the Temperpedic mattress! I had one. It's great if you don't put any sheets on it. Once you do it greatly cuts down on its ability to let you sink in; I think maybe because the sheets don't stretch. Anyway, hubby and I were having tons of back pain. I was waking every day in agony. I could barely get out of bed in the morning and I had to literally crawl out and gently, and quite painfully stretch (wasn't much of a strectch either b/c I was in so much pain)unstiffen before I could even start walking around. We realized just a few days before the return period was up (45 days, 90 days?) that it was the mattress causing the pain. We sent it back and got a new regular type mattress and have been pain-free ever since.

So there - one less thing you have to drool over! LOL! Feel better? ;) ~ Lonnit

Clever and very much on topic. But, no photo gear in your plans? :) - Jing He
