Welcome all I have missed and also the ones from SHS who have migrated here as well ,they are a great bunch and
now I should have kept my older login name but never mind I am a new person here any way so fresh start to a
nice friendly forum.. love the pictures each have put on.. I`ll have to learn how to post pictures one of these
days.. enjoy your day or evening everyone..
 
Basefare, hope you did miss all the tornadoes out there this spring. We had some bad ones here in Alabama a couple of years ago, and it really devastated the area for a long time.

I have an iPad also, and I totally love it ! It does take a while to get the hang of using one, but then you will wonder how you managed before you had it. I hardly ever even turn my old desktop on anymore, unless there is something that I have to use it for that the iPad can't do. I call it my Zombie Dinosaur, since it is so old and slow compared to the iPad.

I think that you might still have your iTunes songs, if they are saved in the cloud. Even if not, I think my daughter told me that iTunes knows which songs you bought, and you can download them again free. It is at least worth checking out. I listen to my iTunes on my computer, my iPad, iPhone, and on the Apple TV , so they are everywhere.
Soon they will have the new iTunes Radio, which will be on the order of Pandora, but much better, since it will use the iTunes Genius to customize your stations.

I still have a few family photos and a cancelled check, in a ziplock bag, from one of those tornadoes that I picked up in my pasture. When I did MapQuest, the check had traveled close to 90 miles to land in my pasture, so I figure the pictures did too.

I guess that you could say that they arrived by Airmail then....
 
I live on the Mid North Coast of NSW Australia, a bit further South of Jillaroo and Diwundrin, North of Warrigal, but inland just a bit.
 
Hi all, I'm somewhat new and haven't leaned all the tools the forum affords.
TWHRider, I was four miles from the tornado and was watching it closely. I didn't go to Toby's concert but my son who teaches at the university, lives close enough to hear it all, and I did see some of it on the tele. Mickey Raphael, Willie Nelson's harmonica player, offered me tickets but I didn't accept. I didn't feel like fighting the crowd.

HAPPYflowerlady, I have seen some of your Alabama tornados. They don't have to be big to be bad. About the iPad, I got 126 songs synced before the hard drive quit on an iMac. I elected not to fix it because it was eight years old. Ca you down load a camera to your iPad. I'm trying to learn the ins and outs.

Pcainvegas: I know where Albany is. I used to visit Thomasville occasionally when I was working. And I've been to Columbus and I've been to Columbus and Ft Bennington as a young man and a soldier.
 
Hi there, Mela,

:D:D:D:D:D

I'm giggling because a few people might be looking for Jillaroo, Diwundrin and Warrigal on a map of Australia. They may find Warrigul but that won't help them very much.

:D:D:D:D:D
 
Basefare, your iPad should have a built in camera. There is an app that I think is on the iPad that is called Camera+ , so if you don't have that, you should be able to download it. Mine has one of those cameras that work both ways. It is not as good a camera as the iPhone has, but it is easy to work. I use it sometimes for pictures, and for FaceTime or Skype to visit with my family.
There are also some good photo editing programs on the apps page.
One that I like, and use a lot is called Aviary, and another one that has some really neat backgrounds is Photolab.

If you listen to scanners, there are some great police/emergency scanner apps, too. My favorite is called Police Scanner+, and I am pretty sure it was free.
If you cant tell, I LOVE MY IPAD !

It seems to me, that even if your Mac quit, you should be able to get the songs on the iPad. Do you have iTunes Match ? It syncs all your iTunes songs in the cloud, and costs about $25 for a year . However, once you have it, you should always have all of your music, movies, and whatever else you have from iTunes . Also, they are coming out with iTunes Radio, and when you have iTunes Match, you automatically get the premium version of iRadio as well.
Feel free to pm me if there is anything I can help you with, about the iPad, I will be glad to share everything I know about it.

Talking about Spiders, there is an Australian pub
in London, (quite a few actually), but one is called
The Red Back, or The Red Backed Spider, I can't
remember exactly, but it is named after one of
your "Bad Spiders" I believe.

I have been living in funnelweb country for many years and have never come across one, we did dig up some relatives that looked the same but aren't as deadly in Howlong NSW, must admit i am careful when digging, when i lived further down south i had a lot of trouble with White Tail spiders they were rampant where i lived and would come inside, they can cause a lot of problems as they kill Deadly long legs plus they have bacteria on their fangs and depending where they have been is what happens to you, a lot of people have an occurance of the bite each year with skin peeling and ulcerating etc, i have found these on my bed and they love getting into clothes on the floor, i won't put the pics on here you can look at the links supplied as it will scare you haha

I have lived in Australia for nearly 69 years and never seen funnel web spider. But I live south and I believe they like the warmer climate.
I have seen Red Back spiders on a couple of occasions. They love making their home in piles of wood and rubbish.
 
Yep i am scared of them too Moggy, the house i lived in each night before bed i always checked the cornices that's where they always seemed to appear, i have had some biggie 40mm and more, i have never been bitten thankfully. After being bitten did it come back the following year like a lot of people have reported? :hair:
 
Yeah Moggy......I don't like white tails either......we've had a few in our place and I never leave clothes or anything else lying on the floor......they do love it if you do :eek1:......as for redbacks.....yes we've seen a few but they're sneaky, they're in our garage but don't come out of hiding much .....as long as they stay outside I'm OK.... :coolthumb:
