I'll find you the model number. I love my Nikon too (me and A have the same one). But, to get the really cool lens that shoots the best indoors/children, etc. you have to spend a lot. The Canon version is only $100. You could buy the Canon/kit lens and then ask for the other one in a year or so when you learn to use the camera settings. It's a great beginner camera. Check Sam's or Costco for probably the best deal.Ashley Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621160848819871470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081860502287267026.post-19324648502022595712011-09-15T14:36:45.922-04:002011-09-15T14:36:45.922-04:00LB - we have the same smell issue and it's bad...LB - we have the same smell issue and it's bad. It has gotten better now that I can open the windows but I've tried baking soda and wiping down the walls. One thing that does help a little are these things from Bed, Bath and Beyond called FRESH WAVE crystals. It doesn't eliminate the odor but does make it bearable without adding a scent to the air - it doesn't really smell once its in the house but soaks up the odor. I put some in the closets and near the vents. With the coupon and a deal they had a few weeks ago it was about $12 for two of them. Hope this helps - I know your frustration - for me it just makes my house feel gross and yucky and I think I smell like it when I'm away. Have to remind myself of the truth - I did bathe and we're doing the best we can and just keep laughing - these are good times! A new adventure every day!Redheaded Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08405203420744725401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081860502287267026.post-56450542461057940862011-09-15T13:47:35.869-04:002011-09-15T13:47:35.869-04:00We had a smell..it was indeed a dead animal under ...We had a smell..it was indeed a dead animal under our house. It was so awful. I know exactly what you are describing. And I embrace jeans too {and black yoga pants probably a little too much} but no need to go dressier for me unless its for church, so it works! The house sounds wonderful! Glad its turned into such a blessing for ya'll!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910610033048139618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081860502287267026.post-16819009981751306832011-09-15T13:38:49.637-04:002011-09-15T13:38:49.637-04:00Amanda--I told Scott that the smell was a little t...Amanda--I told Scott that the smell was a little too familiar. In fact, it smells just like the stair well in the White House smelled from time-to-time. Ahh...the memories;) <br /><br />Did you have a reason for choosing Nikon over Canon? I have looked at the comparisons, but really everything is foreign to me, and I want to make the right decision (I am probably overanalyzing)LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643896920237472344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081860502287267026.post-69803419887240091902011-09-15T13:26:09.847-04:002011-09-15T13:26:09.847-04:00LB-you lived in the WH for 2 years.
