I feel like everyone decided to go somewhere else and forgot to tell me.

I will! I haven't been going very often, but it's been nice when it was warm out.

It's a mystery to me. The only thing I can think of is that I dropped it outside, or left it on the porch, and either someone took it or a stray dog carried it off.

I tried accusing the dog, but I can't find wrapper, crumbs or anything. I don't think such a little dog could eat a whole loaf of french bread anyway. He's only 12 lbs.

Oh now that would be serious. I hope you find it!

Thank you! There are some third party apps called Camera Bag and Toy Camera that help apply these effects to the photo. If you do get an iPhone, be sure and check out irovr.com, which is a social networking site built for iPhone/iPod Touch users.

Oh me too! I've been going there at least once a day, 5-6 days a week since it opened 15 years ago. I know of the others, and have been there, but this one is almost a community to me. I've taken so many photos here!

Thanks. Just ones I took with the iPhone. I'm always surprised what a good little camera it is.

LOL Thanks! iBear on irovr.com posted a zombie challenge. All done on my iPhone - took the photo, changed to a b/w camera effect in CameraBag, added the thought bubble with Comic Touch, and uploaded it.

According to the vet, he is a chihuahua/toy fox terrier hybrid. They call them Taco Terriers.

Let's see, I guess you could start with Thich Nhat Hanh's Peace is Every Step. That particular book's strong foundation in mindfulness and day to day practice will provide a good introduction to Buddhism as a living tradition. If you wanted to get into some (slightly) heavier theological stuff, Bhante Henepola Gunaratana's Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness is probably the best primer on the Noble Eightfold Path that I've ever read. Gunaratana's masterful Mindfulness in Plain English is also a great read. After that, maybe you could try Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner Mind or Phillip Kapleau's Three Pillars of Zen. And, of course, no list of Buddhist books would be complete without the Dalai Lama's Art of Happiness. Hope this helps!!!

Thank you for your thoughts, it's very instructive. I am a complete newbie in the area of Buddhism, and the statement which was posted was an excerpt from a podcast called Bad Buddhist Radio, not my own words. If you have any favorite reading material you have found helpful for a beginner, I would appreciate it if you let me know.

I can understand how the tone of the message could be interpreted that way. For my part, I don't feel I have any views that are superior to anyone else's. It was the aspect of living in the moment, right now, that spoke to me - for me, living in the past (or the future) is something I struggle with. Thank you for your comment!
