Let’s Get Stoned! Pshaw Not What You Are Thinking!



Polished stones are a treasure for many folks, particularly those of diminutive statue.   No, I’m not talking about dwarves and their love of stone, I’m referring to kids.   Kids like cool things they can carry around.  They particularly like cool things that don’t break easily and can go through the wash and not be destroyed.   Oddly enough, stones fit the bill.  

I was shopping for stones for a diminutive family member and was surprised the local toy store did not have any.   I turned to the web and found a wealth of choices on eBay and Amazon.   I finally settled on Redwood Treasures.  If you read my blog at all, you know I am very fond of patronizing small businesses.   I had two and know the trials of being a small business owner.   I had questions on the stones and was able to get the owner on the phone and get my questions answered.   If you read how they describe themselves, I think you too will see they have the “right stuff” to be put in your favored places to buy book.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
