Sounds like the hopes of an ebay bidder.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Does it work?

Cedar works to repel moths and it smells a million times better than paradichlorobenzene (mothballs).

I agree - it works.

A few years ago (before we moved into this house) I lined all the closets in cedar siding. Every spring, we wash down the cedar with plain water and the resulting evaporation refreshes the whole house with cedar scent. I love it!

my house smells all of cedar now*.  it's gorgeous.

*apart from my kitchen, which smells of the organic smoked paprika i've been cooking with for the last two days - got a tin from my organic shop the other day, for only £1.55, and it's utterly fabulous.  :drool:

Got a new lens for the camera, image stabilization built in and gives good picture quality. :zoinks:

Image stabilization built into the lens? What kind of lens is that, and what's the camera?

I must be getting old--my idea of a good SLR is still a Nikon F1.

Cameras have actually improved since the era of the Nikon F1, unlike audio reproduction.

Canon EF-S 17-85mm IS US, the camera is the trusty 400d. Does the job quite well.

I'd say. You're a really good photographer.
