    A few days ago I learned that the capacitors inside a CRT monitor can retain their charge for weeks. I was planning on taking apart my monitor and painting the casing, but after learning of the fatal risks involved, I'm having second thoughts.

    Today I learned that I probably spend way more time here on the forum than what would be considered healthy.

    I also learned today that I should not partake in the viewing of this forum while under the influence of alcohol as I seem to have lost my common sense! Sorry Bud

    But everything seems so right when you are under the influence. It's like you can do no wrong lol. But in the aftermath you realize that most of the times you are.

    Today i relearned that walking in the rain when the temperature is unstable is very bad for your health... But it feels so good. I hope i never learn that it is possible to be struck by lightning when walking in the rain.

    Today I learned that pictures of flowers in the springtime practically take themselves. They're easy to take, they almost always look great ... in short, there's no challenge at all to it.

    It's sort of unfulfilling, to be honest. I took like 90 pictures today, and like 80 of them were somewhere between decent and good. With other subject matter, it's hard to hit a 30% ratio of good pictures to pictures taken ... with flowers, it's like automatic 70-80% or more. All you need is decent sunlight and the ability to use "macro" mode on your camera.

    I need to find more challenging, but still interesting subject matter.

    count yourself luck, it could have been alot worst. As for getting your rating up, put out quality post and following the rules help. But generally it mean you have to stop being lazy. For one you have to start posting in the right section. Learn to do a basic search before creating a thread. Read the damn rules, and follow them (that helps a whole lot). Just be yourself and well if people see what they like........

    Welcome to the forums. I have read all your post so far. You seem ok, just alittle too damn lazy, change that and you will be ok.. Enjoy Gotwoot and be kind to those mods. cause they hold your fate in there hands, unless they are being pricks which seldom to never happens.
