Not really, I just have a mid-range Canon Power Shot, though I tend to snap a few shots at the entrance whenever I go😁
I'm hoping they won't...🤷
Hey everyone, I have a bit of a silly question to ask. I wasn't able to make it out last year, and the year before that, I ended up going without any actual photos because my phone camera was pretty much useless... I suppose I'm wondering if they allow you to bring in more substantial, high-quality cameras, or if they just confiscate them right at the entrance?
Those of us living in the "major metros" tend to head across state lines quite frequently to pick up bits and pieces—whether we're crossing over into neighboring states or just browsing through various online marketplaces.
I’m currently wearing a size 14, standing about 5'8", and weighing roughly 165 pounds.
I suppose I don’t quite see myself as being overly overweight, nor do I find much difficulty when it comes to shopping for clothes. It isn't as if I have to hunt through XXL sections at the mall, because I can usually find my size just fine in standard stores. Most of my weight tends to settle in my midsection, which I guess is a bit bothersome, though I do have a lovely bust and decent legs, which provides some small comfort. My partner tells me I’m the sexiest woman he knows, so... I suppose I trust his judgment enough.😂
A size 14 fits me quite comfortably; I mostly shop at Target, Kohl's, or H&M, where I can easily find my number, and occasionally I'll find pieces at Tommy Hilfiger, Lacoste, or Guess. Sometimes I might peek into Promod, Roxy, or Urban Outfitters, or simply order things online. If I happen to be traveling, I might even head over to a nice outlet mall, though I usually end up exhausting myself and my budget in the process.😁 I have a bit of an obsession with shoes, handbags, and jewelry, as I feel they elevate any ensemble. I certainly don't shy away from wearing skirts, low necklines, or those other little flourishes that people seem to reserve exclusively for the "thin" crowd—provided, of course, one maintains a sense of taste.
Whenever I mention to someone that I "really ought to go on a diet," the most common response I get is something along the lines of, "Oh, please, what are you talking about?"
I honestly suspect that this supposed "clothing problem" exists mostly in people's heads. There seems to be this assumption that if you are slightly larger, you must inevitably look "frumpy," "country," or just plain "tacky." I can't help but wonder why that has to be the case.

Wait, I actually have a JPMorgan Chase Maestro, and I couldn't get it to work at all.
I tried using it on eBay, but it keeps demanding a Maestro or Visa card. It claims debit cards are accepted, but I suppose I'm just being a bit slow on the uptake. 😳
I would appreciate some help if anyone has a moment. 😕
Spending these past two days as a pilgrim at Central Park has led me to several realizations:
a) I am officially ready for retirement.😁
-My back is absolutely killing me, likely from just standing there passively observing the stage performance.
-I’ve gone deaf, I suppose; the acoustics were simply brutal.
-I’m becoming senile, perhaps, given that I actually forgot where I parked my car on the second day.
-I seem to be suffering from moderate to severe neuroses; things like people spilling beer, constant shouting, the flicking of cigarette ash, throwing random objects, or people trying to flag down their friends from across the field really grate on my nerves.
-I can't even manage a single day at work now, purely because I fell asleep around 1:30 PM—which feels like a definitive sign of progressive aging.
b) On the other hand, I have realized I possess some rather incredible abilities:
-I can identify the members of FF just by looking at their sneakers.😂
c) I might actually have a sexual deviation:
-I found myself strangely attracted to the men carrying cameras.😁😳
