Re: Craigslist (was Placing the Sproutgarden INSIDE refrigerator on HOT days!!!)

[Guest guest]

Melody,

I know your post was for Patty but just wanted to say if I lived in

Brooklyn, I'd probably be super cautious too. However, here in NC, in the

city I live, I've used CL for both selling and buying and also use Freecycle

for receiving and giving. I love both resources and have (thank God) never

had any issue with anyone in any of my dealings. Still, I think it's good

to be cautious, regardless. Funny story, I was going to do a CL purchase

just a few months ago and the seller wanted to meet me away from my house!

I was downright hurt and indignant that she would think I was less than an

upright individual, LOL. But I understood her desire to be careful. That

situation actually never panned out for other reasons, which was just as

well (or I would have ended up with four more guinea pigs in addition to the

two I already have - Oy Vey!!!).

Anyway, I still haven't gotten my sproutgarden but will be doing that soon.

Meanwhile, think I'll browse CL for some accoutrements for healthy living!

BTW, I also have a Flip camera - actually got it for my husband a few years

ago after seeing it on Oprah (fave things show, of course!). He never uses

it so it's still virtually brand new. I need to get it, read the manual and

start using it myself!! But I won't be competition for your sprouting vids,

that's for sure. Not sure what I'll do yet.

Hi Patty:

Here in Brooklyn, NY, one never meets ANYONE that one doesn't know. I wish I

lived in PA or in Vermont or in some other state that had a better

reputation than good old Brooklyn, NY.

But you are right, I shouldn't have come down so hard on CraigsList.

I do apologize

Girl, you go and get the Flip out of whatever drawer you have it stashed. I

never read the manual. You plug it into the computer, it loads up the software

(Oh, I did have to set the date and time, but just follow instructions).

And as far as ease of use??? You press the red button to record and you press

the red button to stop.

It was MADE for me!!!!

lol

You will LOVE it!!

I haven't stopped since I got it.

LOL, Well then, it was definitely made for me too since I'm not much of a

technogeek!! Not sure how new yours is, but I'm hoping mine is as easy to

use since it's possibly a few years older.

Now to try and remember exactly where it is stashed!!

My Flip is not HD, it has a 2 hour recording time and I just adore it.

I have never owned any kind of camcorder because 1. too pricey, and 2. I never

knew how to use them, you had to put the cartridge in, they had different size

cassettes, they were so big you had to hoist them over your shoulder. I never

had one.

Then.....this little baby came into my life.

OMG. I record EVERYTHING.

Yesterday my little neighbor came walking by, and we got to chatting and I had

my Flip. His mother said " He's 5 today " . I said " YOU'RE 5 YEARS OLD TODAY??? I

must make a video. So I did, and posted it on the mom's facebook page. They

loved it.

Melody

P.S. I'm dangerous aren't I??? rofl.

Your flip sounds like the one I have - I know it's not HD either, but I

think it only has a one hour recording time. It's also battery operated

which I suspect yours is?

I think that's great that you're such a videophile!! One day perhaps one of

your vids will go viral on YouTube and you'll be featured on GMA or the

Ellen show or Regis and - you never know!! You need to find a really

cute dog doing really cute things or a baby/toddler doing something

incredible, like laughing like there's no tomorrow over bubbles in the air

or paper being torn, LOL!!

You're an inspiration to all the rest of us sprouters and videomaker

wannabes!!!

Just found my Flip and just need to replace the batteries. Then on to

finding a good recording subject, LOL!!

I think the only difference between our Flips is that mine has 2 hour recording.

I cannot imagine recording ANYTHING for hours. I just do little clips and bring

up my Flip sofware and edit the video clips and then string them together to

make MOVIES.

I taught myself how to do this and the good thing is once you learn, YOU

LEARN!!!

I can also shorten the videos. This thing is so neat.

Oh, this will make you laugh. My husband is usually a good sport about being in

my videos.

Last night I tried out a new product called cool collars. It keeps you cool in

the warm weather. I tried it out and you are supposed to wear it like a collar.

It works.

So I wanted to put it on Alan, only I wanted to put it on his head like the way

people wore headbands in the 80's. I had it on my head all afternoon and it

cooled me beautifully.

So I approached him, I put it on his head, he goes " oh, this is nice " I then

said " I'm putting you in my video " .

Well, one might have thought I wanted to give him limburger cheese because he

says " Get that thing away from me, I'm not going to be seen in this thing " . I

never laughed so hard.

Someday!!!!!!!!!

lol
