camera news

Well, I listened to everyone's advice and contacted Kodak even though the camera was no longer under warranty. Imagine my surprise when I received notice that repair was under warranty! So I've sent the camera in to be fixed. I hope this time it works for good!

Other than that there's not much going on here. The leg rest on my wheelchair is broken and I can't keep my legs elevated when I'm in the chair so I end up spending a lot of time in the recliner watching TV. I'll be so glad when the wheelchair is fixed! I just end up in too much pain when I can't keep my legs up, so there goes all my scrapbooking fun :(

Here's hoping you're all getting lots of pages scrapped!

digital camera

I'm so bummed...i got a Kodak digital camera for my birthday last August (2007) and had it about six months when it quit working. Because I don't take a lot of pictures, and in this case was procrastinating, I didn't do anything about it until it was almost too late. I had been bought at Wal-Mart so I took it in there to ask them for help as to what I should do. They told me to contact Kodak directly. So I did.

Thankfully had filled out the warranty card and mailed it in when I got the camera so they knew when I had received it. By the time I got hold of them I only had 3 weeks left on the one-year warranty. They had me send the camera to them, and later let me know it was a power issue. I received the camera back and it worked like a charm...for about 2 weeks. Now the warranty has expired and I have no recourse. I am kicking myself for procrastinating in the first place.

I still have my 35mm and that works okay for most things, but what I am really frustrated about is that I no longer have a camera that's good for taking pictures of my layouts to post. My scanner doesn't work well when it comes to this particular task, and I really depended on my camera for that.

Just need to vent some frustration...

coming out on the other side

We got some hurricane force winds and lots of rain here, but are fine. We flooded during Katrina and I was a nervous wreck the whole time. Now we are in a mandatory evacuation area because of flooding, but we had no place to go so we sat it out at home. I was so nervous for days that I literally made myself sick, but we had no real problems...just some rain and lost electric for a few hours.
