Hope's shout trail with gimli - Help.com

Hi Nate :) Things are going well, thanks! I’ll be sending you an email soon. How have you been?

Hi Hope!

I’m on my way out and noticed you were in, so I thought I’d pop in and say hi. Hope things are fabulous!

That’s awesome! :D Yeah I know how that goes, I’m always the one to take pictures for anything I go to, so it’s hard when I’m the one actually doing something.

lol, yeah, we got a lot of people who filed at the last minute.

hmm. not sure if I have anything that you’d want, but I can look around and let you know :)

I’m doing OK! I just ordered a new Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens for my Nikon, so I’m excited. I’m going to be at a wedding in Seattle in a couple of weeks, so that’s my justification for getting the lens. The sucky part is that I’m IN the wedding, so I won’t be able to take pictures during the ceremony…

No hurry on the Sony. I wasn’t able to pay my taxes, but…no, just kidding. Take your time! I’d also be interested in trading for something interesting, if you’ve got anything!

Hi Gimli!

Yeah, it’s been a while. I work at a Tax office and we are finally finished with our busiest season :D

I was able to use the camera a little bit over Easter, but have been too busy since then. I should be able to take some more soon, though.

How have you been?

Hi Hope!

It’s been a while, eh? How has life been treating you?

Hi Gimli! It’s ok, I understand. Whenever you can, is good for me :)

Hi Hope!

I’ve been a slacker, I confess. I’m hoping to get it in the mail today or tomorrow…

Hope all is well!

Hi! Okay, I’ll check it now!! Thanks :)

Hi Hope!

I just sent you an email re: cameras…nothing too exciting!

Cool, I’ll check my e-mail right now. It’s only about 10 pm here, lol. But I’ll probaly be staying up late tonight myself. So who’s winning/won?

I actually just sent you the email…I couldn’t resist–even though it’s nearly one in the morning…I had to stay up to watch the Red Sox!

That’s so exciting!! Be sure to take a camera and get lots of pictures :D And that sounds interesting, I’ll definitely be looking for the e-mail! I’ve still been really busy with school/work lately, not much else that’s new here :)

Hi Hope! I’m doing quite well…I’m excited because I’m expecting to go on a short term missions trip to Brazil next January! Speaking of which, check for an email from me in the next couple of days (and no, I’m not trying to solicit funds from you. I’ve got a sort of business proposition!)

Hello! I haven’t talked to you for a while, how’ve you been?

That’s good to hear! :)

Thanks for thinking of me! And yes, if you come across something, feel free to e-mail me. I would prefer to buy something new, but I know that may not be possible right now. I actually looked on eBay for cameras, and there seemed to be a good selection. I might buy one from there, and I will let you know if I do :)

I’m doing pretty well, thanks!

I has a chance to buy a used Fuji S5000 the other day, so I thought of you! (I would have sent you an email asking if you wanted it, but I don’t think you want something that old…

If I come across anything spectacular, I’ll let you know.

Hello :) How are you doing?

Hello Nate!

Yeah, it has been a long time…I was just thinking about sending you a shout myself, only you beat me to it…lol :D

I’ve been great! It’s been busy at work lately and I just haven’t had time to come online.

How are you doing? What have you been up to?

I actually start school again on Monday (tomorrow)! And I am really excited about it…lol…I actually have about 3 years left for school. I took a semester off after high school and then some of the classes I took don’t really work for the degree I am getting, so I am staying an extra semester at the community college before I transfer :] I was actually thinking of getting a Master’s degree, but I’ve pretty much decided not to b/c that would make it 5 more years of school! And while I love school, I don’t think I could do that…haha (sorry, that was kind of a long explanation…lol)

Hi FHR!

It’s almost been forever! Where have you been hiding?

I hope things are going really well for you!

How much school do you have left?

Thanks, Hope. I will!

That is awesome! Wish her a happy birthday for me! Yeah, birthdays are a lot of fun, but sometimes a lot of work too :D My younger sister just turned 18 and we celebrated it on Independence Day…lots of fun!

It’s gone well…It’s my wife’s birthday today, so I’ve been busy!

Hello Nate! Yeah, my day has been good! How about yours?

Hi Hope!

Trust you are having a smashing day!

:]

Ossem.

They actually have a cool new feature on this website if people want to exchange e-mail addresses.

If you go to your friends list in the account admin, there are 4 little pictures right next to the avatars. Click on the button that is furthest to the right of the avatar of the person who you want to be able to see your e-mail address.

When they go to your profile, they will be able to e-mail you. It opens up in Outlook, but you can just copy the e-mail address from there :]

Wow, I hope that wasn’t too confusing! I will allow you to e-mail me.

No worries…you are allowed to be human!

What’s the proper protocol for exchanging email addresses?

Sorry…didn’t mean to send that twice! I didn’t think it went through the first time :]

Yeah! I LOVE the beach! I am thinking of moving down there if I can (probably several years away, but a possibility!)

It is a REAL whale, from the Shamu show at Sea World…but yeah, it does look fake…lol

The pictures of the beach are from South Carolina, I also went to a beach near Jacksonville, FL that had almost no people there :]

hehe…yeah the last pic is of me :D I will have to put up the color pick too, now…lol

Thanks, it is nice to be back, and it is really nice to see you around too!

Ahhhh…the beach!

*heaves big sigh of contentment*

Although, there are FAR too many people in your pictures….and where did you get the plastic whale thingy? :)

Anyway, nice to see you about. If the last pic is really you, I can tell you virtually live on fish!

Hello Nate,
I haven’t been spending too much time on here lately either, just off and on when I can. I am doing good :)
No, I didn’t get the camera yet. I actually had to buy a car b/c my old one had a lot of things wrong with it and so I haven’t been able to buy the camera yet. That is okay, I can still use my dad’s camera to take pictures.
I actually just got back from Georgia/Florida. I took a lot of pictures while I was there!! Mostly of the beach or pictures of when we went to Sea World. I had a lot of fun and was able to see several family members that I hadn’t seen in several years. I will try to pick some of the better pictures and put them on here ~ either as my avatar, on my profile, or else I will send you a link to a website where I will post them.
Did you see JoJo’s newest posts? She probably had so many e-mail’s after she got home that she is probably still going through them…lol…I know I sent her a few as well :)
It was really good to hear from you! I hope you have a good day whenever you read this, I will talk to you soon :]
~ Hope

Hi FHR!

I’m doing pretty well, I guess. I don’t spend a whole lot of time here anymore…life is keeping me pretty busy at the moment. It’s a good kind of busy, so I’m not complaining, but all the same it’s kept me out of the help.com loop.

How are you? Have you purchased your camera yet? If I remember correctly, you were on the cusp of buying a Fuji S9000. I hope you got it and have some fantastic pictures to show off!

I haven’t kept in touch with JoJo either, I’m afraid. I sent her an email a while ago, but she never responded. I should send another to let her know that I’m still praying for her!

Take Care,
Nate

Hello, how have you been doing? I haven’t been on here for a while, but I just wanted to stop by and say hello :]

No - we haven’t heard anything from her since a week from Monday. I will definitly let you know if I hear anything from her though.

Hi,

Thanks for the info…assuming that JoAnn opened a door and walked through it, I’m happy for her!

Can you confirm that she’s OK?

Yeah, I feel the same way. Here are a couple of posts you may want to check out. They should give you more info.

http://help.com/post/51475-still-no-jojo

And you may want to check out her 2nd to last post and her last few replies. Let me know if you have any questions.

I know nothing. It was like someone flipped a switch…

Or, actually, how much do you know about what has happened to her?

How much do you know about JoJo?

Hi,

Do you know the latest scoop on JoJo?

No, I haven’t heard from him. I don’t think he has been on for over 3 weeks. How long has it been since you heard from him?

Have you heard from Kadoo?

Me too…

That is cool - I love playing puzzle games - on my computer mostly. I also like to work on other puzzles too.

Okay - I need to get going too, lol…thanks for talking to me - it was fun.
Have fun at church - let me know how it goes. Talk to you later.

It’s midnight here, and I need to go to bed so I won’t fall asleep in church tomorrow…that would be especially bad since I’m having part of the service!

I’m not a huge video game person, but I like playing some real time strategy games on PC.

As for the DS, I like the little puzzle games and things.

Thanks :) I think it would be an awesome camera to have - will buy it when I get the money. I like almost everything about it. The MP, zoom, options it has - just about everything I want in a camera! I know that by the time I get around to buying it there will probably be a new model out, but I think it would be a nice camera to have :)

Cool - I used to play the Nintendo (64 I think) but my brothers are really into video games :) What kind of games do you play?

Other hobbies? I’m a little astonished by the fact that playing the Nintendo DS has taken a fair amount of my time recently!
