Holy what the sh*t! Holga!! [More:]I know who you are and in this moment, I can't thank you enough. You, and MeCha as a whole, helped to soften a very difficult week.

I'm feeling a little teary, a lot warm and fuzzy and full of so much gratitude. Bunnies, you really know how to make a Girl feel 10 kinds of special.
/wipes tear away.
That's pretty amazing.

This should make the dinner get-together extra-fun. Sorry it's been such a rough time, Fris.

cool! from Randall, our secret sugar daddy?
posted by amberglow 08 March | 19:52
Oh that's awesome, Fris!!!

And those things are so much fun!

Oh I had no idea this was going on in your life. Many condolences to you and your family. And thank Randall that you have a bit of happiness during this week.

Gaaah. Sorry to hear about the stuff with your Mom, FG. I dread even having such a convo with my folks especially with the drama going on with them as it is. Yeesh. And yay for new cameras!

Hey, I wish you every strength. What a tough time. You're enduring gracefully and admirably. Enjoy the camera, use it well and happily!

My thoughts are with you & your family, Fris.

On the other hand, you can now say "We have cameras".

Cool. In the toy camera department, I've got a Lomo. I know lomography is associated with irritating hipsters, but that thing takes some seriously great pictures.

Ah fris, I'm so sorry that you're going through this. Love & hugs to you.

Also, fabulous camera!

Aw, Fris, I had no idea. You're made of tough stuff, though. That I do know.

If I ever meet this Randall, I shall plant a big one on 'em for being so generous and making my electronic friends so happy.

Thanks everyone. It is rough, I won't downplay that, but she has worked so hard to reach a point where she can act responsibly and with love that I want to make every effort I can to honor her process. Painful as it may be. Part of the last several weeks has been scanning and uploading hundreds of family photos, so my usual outlets of both writing and photography have been channelled elsewhere, namely, her. It's been valuable, but draining emotionally.

On the brighter side, I have wanted one of these cameras for years, but it's always been one of those things I could just never justify. I'm really REALLY looking forward to trying it out this Sunday at the dinner. SO. EXCITED. SOEXCITED. Did I mention that I'm excited?

Finally, I have no idea who Randall is and this didn't come from a Randall, but I do know who my benefactor is and Randall does indeed rock, whoever that person happens to be. Though it may seem like such a frivolous gift, the thoughtfulness and timing was suberb and has truly moved me. Thank you all, again.

On preview: bmarkey, how did I ever miss that thread titling opportunity??

Fris, I didn't know about your mom's troubles either... so sorry to hear that. :P

The camera ROCKS. One of my Flickr pals is someone I go to know JUST because he takes amazing Holga pics of his post-industrial town in Poland, and I always ooh and ahh over them.

And that Sam Brown pic hanging over your computer just reaffirms your place as one of my favorite MeChazens!

I'm sorry to hear about your mother, Frisbee. My thoughts are with you and her.

Is there a thread to get in on the randall gift exchange? I have some really cute stickers to send.
posted by By the Grace of God 09 March | 05:33
I am so loopless in this thread. So I will just send warm thoughts to those who need them.
posted by chewatadistance 09 March | 08:01
BTGOG, It's the Amazon Wishlists page on the Mecha Wiki. But I'm sure you can email the profile emails of the people you want to send stickers to and ask them if they would share their mailing addresses.
