bartus:
You put into words what I think many have been thinking a little while. (I know I have).
(crap when writing this I knocked down a cobra blueshirt with a maurader ak and lost the magazine in the mess on my floor.... alright back to my post...)
Its funny that most of the people posting here have girls (or more girls then boys) - reminds me of something said in a series called The Unit - its a special forces thing
I don't have any kids, but I have 2 nieces, and the oldest (5) is getting quite curious at uncle Tommy's dolls. Heck uncle Tommy has kidnapped her dolls house for a few days now because its perfect 1:18 scale
I really enjoy posts like these, were people just vent a little on their day to day problems, but still puts it in the perspective of the hobby we have all come to enjoy. Personally I have bouts of Insomnia, so I usually do my best work at 3 or 4 in the morning (right before actual work...). So I find setting up my joes at that time to relax me and finally put me to bed when I've worked out all the kinks of taking a new picture or two.
One thing I feel has to be mentioned (it can't be mentioned enough) is the atmosphere we get here at joedios. Its fantastic, unlike any I have known on any online forum. Sure there are those that constantly gripe about the 25th (Yeah I'm getting pretty tired over it... But I'll hold my tounge least I explode in some rant that will take 5 pages
) and probably some in house "feuds", but at least people are mostly respectful and don't resort to really bad language and manners (and flame wars).
Kudos to all of you who read this and contribute in your own way, and to the maker of joedios - thank you for making a place for me to go and get away from it all AND let my creative juices flow freely!
I guess that's all I wanted to say.
Oh one other thing - you don't really have to find a public park to go to for pictures. Some tree line off the road is perfect for it as well, if you find the right spot you probably won't be bothered as much.
Keep on truckin' guys (or posting in this case
)
