DoodleKisses.com Side Effects

[Donna K & Quincy]

Many of us are not ashamed to stand up and say" My Name is ________ and I'm a doodle addict, however there are some side effects of being addicted to doodles and DK. Some are good, some not so much. I'll start with the good ones first.

I learn tons of stuff that is necessary to be a good doodle mom

I get to meet and chat with lots of new friends.

I get to share and feel good about all the doodles in need that find their forever families because of DK.

I get lots of good laughs and occassionally a good cry.

I learn many useful things unrelated to doodles. (Thanks Photography Group)

My typing has gotten a whole lot faster.

I hug and kiss my doodle a lot.

Not so good side effects:

I haven't finished reading any of the 5 books I've started.

My house is not as clean as it should be.

I stay up later than I should.

I miss my favorite shows on TV.

I sometimes am late starting dinner.

I lose track of time when I'm on DK.

The doodle is getting a little spoiled.

Being a true doodle addict. I wouldn't change a thing.

And it is obvious that you have been listening in that photography group too. Wow, what a wonderful picture of Quincy.

This is the best addiction ever! Even the cons aren't really that bad. I just hired a cleaning person, since I never seem to want to clean, so I'm helping the economy. So, now, because of DK, I have a cleaner house, and more cash is finding it's way into the economy. It's win - win. And I agree that this photo should be a calendar submission. It's just beautiful!!

This is why Auto usually does it for me. As you know if I can find the camera and myself it's a major accomplishment. Then if the memory card is in the camera and not the computer my world is OK.

Why thank you F. I am really trying but it is just so hard to keep it all filed neatly away in my brain. I need to know how to "Just Do It" in the moment!!! Things are slowly sinking in though :)

[F, Calla & Luca]

We're waiting..... You are certainly the most dedicated among us, Nancie, in terms of classes and your work shows it.

Donna, again, another perfect photo!!! I have such trouble with sunsets. What I see is NOT what I get. You don't have a ton of time to be messing around with your settings and experimenting either. I have a class tomorrow morning on general stuff but I am going to ask the photographer if he can give me a general starting point for a setting. I took another night photography class last Wed. Got the moon and of course the usual city lights. I'll post later in the Photography Group!!!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Another stunning photo. How lucky to be able to see sunsets like this from your step.

[Joe R.]

That sunset is amazing. I remember some like that when I was stationed in Alaska many years ago.

[Anna and Achilles]

Ditto, my kids are looking for clean laundry.

Thanks Nancie, just another of my lucky shots. I'm sure I was shooting on auto as this was taken a year ago. F5.6, ss 1/500, ISO 100, Tamron Tele-Macro 70-300mm. This is one of our favorite places to go and Quincy just loves sitting on a walking along this wall. We just back from there a few minutes ago, I didn't take any pictures but at least 3 other people did. There are pictures of this doodle from Newfoundland to Holland. I did just take this picture of the sunset from my front step.
