Yea that's acceptable Those are razors and meals, sharing ideas with others of a similar interest.

You know the rules around here: If you don't have a pic of someone using a selfie stick, then it didn't happen.

Almost identical to what I saw that fateful day.

I have never seen one of those. Wonder if they could double as a putter?

The best selfie I have seen was a friend of mine that took one with a pinhole camera. He was about 20 yards from the camera by a water falls.

You never want to.

I am not a fan of selfies, but I will admit to watching video collections on YouTube of bad selfies from time to time, you the ones taken in a bathroom with the toilet lid up and someone forgot to flush, or the person's kid in the bachground while they're posing. I laugh and weep at the same time.

I was at a Patriot's game and had a girl come up to me and ask me if she could take a picture with me. I had Patriot's earrings on and she
said she liked them and wanted to get a pic with them. Out comes this contraption known as a selfie stick. The rest is history.

I think it is sort of goofy to see people continually taking pix of themselves, posting them on FB, or other 'social media.' OTOH, when I was a kid, and into my twenties, there were photo booths where one or two people could sit down, pull a curtain, and for half a buck get a string of 5 photos taken. These were usually in what were called "dime stores." Woolworth's, Kresge's place that were a bit classier than today's dollar store.

In the generation that preceded mine they were called 'five and ten cent stores', five and dimes. By the time I was grown up the five was gone and they were dime stores. Now they are 'dollar stores', and not too far from now they'll probably be five and ten dollar stores ......... only no photo booths. Like so many things ...... obsolete.
