Lulu was a prostitute, but she didn't want her grandma to know.
One day, the police raided the brothel and took all the girls outside and made them line up.
Suddenly, Lulu's grandma came by and Grandma asked, "Why are you standing in line here, dear?"
Not willing to let her grandma know the truth, Lulu told her that the police were passing out free oranges and she was just lining up for some.
"Why, that's awfully nice of them. I think I'll get some for myself," Grandma said, and she proceeded to the back of the line.
A policeman was going down the line asking for information from all the prostitutes. When he got to grandma, he was bewildered and exclaimed, "Wow, still going at it at your age? How do you do it old girl?"
Grandma replied, "Oh, it's easy, dear. I just take my dentures out,
rip the skin back and suck em' dry."
The policeman fainted.

I do  not wish to intrude on Praktica's thread as I can in no way match his extensive camera range nor his expertise.  Neither is this a true collector's thread as I do not still possess all these cameras I have had in the past.  
I shall therefore start this separate thread and endeavour to list and describe the cameras I have had in the past.

My very first camera was one I inherited from my father.   It was an Eastman Kodak 116 Box Brownie.  These were manufactured by Eastman Kodak in USA from 1917 in various models through until the 1930's  My father must have acquired this in the early 1920's and I inherited it in the early 1940's.    It had a problem that it let in the light badly so you were never sure how much if any of a photo you were going to capture.
It was similar to this

Hi
I made an offer subject to LIM, builder's report, finance and sale of my existing houses.
So while I was making calls arranging other things on my lunch breaks I put LIM application on the back burner. Now that a week has passed and I get around to the LIM I see it takes 10 working days for them to process the information. But I had to fulfill that condition withing 15 days.

So how important is a LIM? Just to make sure the building(s) on site match the LIM? Or are there other things I should be looking for?

Just to make things more stressful, when the agent was signing me up for the sale of my properties she said I should check with my accountant to make sure I won't have to pay tax on the sale of the rental. I've owned the house I live in for 20 years. I've owned the rental since about Sep 2016. I'm not gst registered. I have not heard from my accountant and could not get through to IRD. (Who could get through to IRD on a half hour break?)

You've mixed up the ingredients and chucked your baking in the oven.

Who here gets out the scraper or spoon and helps themselves whatever is left in the mixing bowl? I'm sure some don't (eww, uncooked things!), but quite often it tastes better than whatever disaster you'll eventually pull out of the oven.

As a kid (and even now), I was always hanging around the kitchen when Mum was doing some baking. Good times.

I'm getting tons of text messages because NZ Android users have been caught out by the FluBot. 

Has anyone got a successful way of dealing with these?

Here's what I'm trying...

I noticed that the same phone numbers were sending me messages so I created a contacted called "SMS Spam" and I've blocked that contact. 

Every time I get a new sender I send them a link to https://news.vodafone.co.nz/flubot and then add their number to the SMS contact - as if a person had a huge number of numbers. 


 

Does anyone have any experience with using the Trademe API?

I want some custom functionality that might be easier with writing my own interface but once the pile of boxes beside me are listed and sold that will be the end of this flurry of trademe activity. 

If they're slow to approve then I might as well just slog on with their current interface. So... if you've done it, were they quick to approve?

I am really pleased that we now have this board, to be able to ask questions about TM related issues. Hopefully, there will be people who can help in answering any TM related questions, and any opinions/thoughts/ideas are always greatly received.

I am an 'in trade' seller of crafts, and I have learned loads over the years, although I have to say, that there are many more traders who will know much more than I do, but we will all do our best to impart our knowledge.

We all hope that you enjoy it here. We are growing every day, with more members, and we are expecting that once the TM messageboards implode, that the numbers will increase, which is good for all of us. The more the merrier.


Please do read the "welcome new members' board, and check out the rules, so that you are familiar with them.

So again, a very warm welcome to you all, and I hope that you enjoy being here, and chatting to lots of lovely people. There is no better time to connect with others, with the restrictions that we have to get out and about.

I'm selling a bunch of stuff. Most of it is pick up only but some of it I'm kinda-happy to ship. (Pro tip, don't use Aramex) What I'd love is to be able to get more info on the items I'm selling, like an icon for pickup, and for shipping. 



Has anyone found a userscript that can add that info to the page?

Or is there a better page to view current listings?

I hope you have a beautiful day, doing whatever makes you happy.  

I have made your favourite birthday cake this morning and I'm cookin' up an all day breakfast, and there is a keg or two of bubbles and beer.

The music is cranked up, and it's time to PARTAAAAYYYYYYYYYY.

Happy birthday auntie hunni, you old witch. You're a bloody legend...

Could someone add some pretty pictures and things please????? I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

What's the best (free) Open Source(?) program for sending my family videos through Chromecast to my TV from my computer? I'm running Windows 10 - any suggestions and help appreciated.
