I think I saw this episode of daytime soap opera. Oh wait, no I didn't. I don't watch that crap. I get all my weird TV-like drama from the news. http://abc7news.com/news/email-sent-by-alleged-kidnappers-of-vallejo-woman-threatens-police/597834/

What the hell does that mean? I have the Google Photos menu, I guess, and then it asks me if I want to create a folder? Isn't that what's already there?

None of them are special. They're practically on par with mobile phone quality.

Last night I get what can only be described as drunk texts from my sister asking where the pictures are of her boyfriend's kid who happened to be with them that day. I'd already explained to her that I only took a handful of pictures and was sending her the better ones.  And let's face it, this is the longest relationship she's been in.
