The Coffee House

[Original katomi]

Square Peg
I know what you mean, taking photo of kids or youngsters is a real risk.
I saw a post that a member was invited to photograph kids and staff somewhere.
My first though was to make sure that all the permissions were in place
I like to do street photography and saw a kid come out of a cake shop, and was looking in the bag with a big grin and delight on their face.
Without thinking I snapped the shot, then thought,
An older man photographing kids.....
I quickly went up to the adults with the child after finding that they were parents I showed them the image
And asked did they want me to delete it
I was allowed to keep it for the cost of sending them an e copy and never, ever putting the image on the web
I kept it for a short time, then decided that I would delete it so it could never be uploaded even in error.

Good on you, you have the eye for a good image

So what the heck do you do all day?

I kid the Bear, I kid! You all are doing amazing work up there for your community. Hats off to you. Huge job, getting all this coordinated. Wow!
Sorry the neuropathy is getting the best of you today. I know the feeling; tho it's back pain on my end. Hope it gets better soon!

I make some maps, edit some tables, have a meeting now and then, and pet the kitty when she's laying on the desk (the most important task).

Thanks; some nights are worse than others.

Was out walking the pup at lunch and saw a couple of teenaged boys wearing shorts. I almost took a pic for you all but realized a middle aged mom snapping their pic would be creepy and the explanation that I was going to make a meme for the coffee house thread would not have been understood.

I've heard about you ...

It's just so awful we have to think this way when taking a kids picture! Geez..
Been off the Forum a while. Life got in the way.
Thankfully, no Covid or sickness, just stuff.

I think I missed a lot!

Just fluff and nonsense.
MLW has had both of her vaccines, the second made her sick - pain, nausea, lack of energy; her sister hardly had any pain with the second dose. I'm on the waiting list in two Counties (work & home) - we'll see which one gets to me first.

Six identical posts one after the other all with the same ad links? Dodgy imo.

Thank you both for being very diligent spam reporters!

Just so you know what goes on "behind the curtain", when someone reports a spam bot and we mark the user as spam, all their messages are deleted, so if you see more messages by the same user, it's not necessary to report them all. They will get automatically deleted from that first spam report.

What's really helpful is to leave a simple message in the thread - like the ones that SpaceFace and Sparky leave - that the message was reported, even if you reported a different message from that same user.

We seem to have gotten a huge uptick in spam lately, so again, thanks to all of you who are helping us keep on top of it!
