  81. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell
    and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell
    to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off

  439. I’ve come across that these days, more and more people are now being attracted to cameras and the field of pictures. However, being photographer, you have to first invest so much time frame deciding the model of dslr camera to buy and moving from store to store just so you could buy the cheapest camera of the trademark you have decided to pick out. But it will not end generally there. You also have to consider whether you should obtain a digital digital camera extended warranty. Thanks for the good guidelines I acquired from your website.
