Cameras

I have two cameras, the smaller one for which the battery compartment door doesn't always stay closed, and another one that I can't get to work at all.   Neither of them is that old!   An extensive search online and in the stores makes me wonder if I can buy a point & shoot camera with a viewfinder.  The viewfinder is a requirement, and I find absolutely no cameras that have them any more.   If I hold the viewfinder up to my eye, it is possible that I can see what I'm photographing and get it fairly straight, whereas holding the camera at arms' length and trying to see what I'm taking just doesn't work.  I may end up going to a camera fix-it place and see if I can have one or both of them repaired.  It's discouraging because I still like to take pictures, even if I can't take good ones these days.  For the record I didn't even look closely at expensive cameras to see if they are missing the viewfinder as well.

I stopped taking the eye supplements (the expensive ones touted by the guy on HSN) - yesterday morning was the last one I took, and today I can say there has been no additional bruising.  I received the supplements I ordered from Costco containing lutein and the name I can't pronounce (zeaxan....).  I took the first one this afternoon, only one a day being called for.  I hope I can see an improvement, or at least no more visual problems or loss over the 140 days of capsules in the bottle.

A search online didn't say much about the diuretic effect on macular degeneration and one doctor even wrote that it didn't have an effect at all.  He may be weighing a medically prescribed diuretic rather than one that just happens to occur in a vitamin supplement.   I had a scary incident driving to Jeannie's yesterday which I'm attributing to the effects of those pills; I didn't drive much today but had no problem when I did, but I'm calling at least a temporary break on driving children in my car.

I went to Walmart to see if I could find the tape for hanging pictures on the wall.  I looked around at other things and was totally amazed at how many items I stopped at that had no price shown whatsoever!  Of course they don't usually tag the item individually these days, but the shelves were mostly missing price tags for many things I was interested in.  I know, I could carry an item to the nearest scanner placed on posts around the store, but I shouldn't have to.  If it had been just one item I might consider it, but this was multiple items and I could see nearby shelves were missing prices from random items. 

 I managed to get myself to the gym to walk before going anywhere else this morning.  Sometimes I look forward to it and other times I dread it.  I usually feel so good for going that I wonder why I fought the idea to begin with.

I bought parchment paper yesterday and made some cookies this morning.  What a difference the paper makes and I wonder why I've never tried it before!   The cookies come up from the pan very easily and there is no clean-up, which is perfect for a lazy person like me!
