Thank you everybody! It's very annoying that my flipping camera can't zoom in properly :-(

Moti, hope you can find yours, I think they still exist somewhere (hidden maybe?) but they are so small that it's difficult to find...

You won't guess what I found in my garage this afternoon - a whole bag of these that I bought and forgot about!

Princess Y, the camera isn't old, I bought it last summer! I should have been more generous and bought a better one!!!!!!!!! Too bad!

Meanie, how dare you, lol!! I bet the bulbs are still all right, fingers crossed!!

Ohhh Sticki, I knew nothing about the story "Rip van Winkle," so I had to go to the Wikipedia. It says he slept for 20 years :-) There is a similar Japanese folklore called "Urashima Taro" in which a fisherman experiences 300-year time trip :o)

oh sorry ~ its one of those things ~ i tend to think if i know about it everyone will!! didnt know the japanese story tho
stories fascinate me.
there was a story about a fisherman and his wife ~ that made unwise wishes ~ do you remember that one?
