Hello. Thanks for the well wishes. I am feeling OK but am very, very sore. it hurts to yawn, smile, laugh…. and not very easy to eat. I will go back in about 2 weeks. Fun stuff (not!).

Just a note to all past, present, and future Photo Hunters. I am posting early because I am holding a “meeting” (aka this post). The Photo Hunt started almost one whole year ago, on March 21 and I just want to touch on a few topics.
Please folks, double check things for yourself before emailing me, if possible. I’d really appreciate it. Here is why… over the past year I’ve had an overwhelming amount of emails regarding the following:
It isn’t a problem that you require assistance – it’s just bothersome when I take out time to do something that isn’t needed. The above are the main issues I see/read on a regular basis.
Feel free to email ANY time you need help or need something – just please – make sure you double check things first. You all have the right to send complaints or praise at any time… I just want you all to know how time consuming this can be when people don’t read or don’t follow instructions. I like to help and don’t mind, at all – just be patient and be appreciative of my time. As a fun test to see how many actually read this post-type the word “Gotcha” in my comments when you comment. =)
I try my best to keep this great for all – I haven’t had to play ‘PhotoHunt Police’ (to tell folks they aren’t following the rules) and I really don’t want to. So, since the year anniversary is approaching do me a favor:
If you don’t follow the above “rules” you may be subject to removal during my blogroll cleaning.
Last but certainly not least, know that this is The Original Photo Hunt – yes folks, we have imposter’s. Someone totally copied this PhotoHunt (in January, I think) when they were FULLY aware of this Photo Hunt and could not even give it an original name. How lame to totally copy me… so know this is the place to be, the Original Photo Hunters ROCK!
Gotcha? Gotcha!
My Photo: How’d you guess? Dr. Pepper. Not original but when you drink it like water and you can’t have any and have been 2.5 days without it… well… you want it. Can you see my hand shaking in the photo? LOL (I took the photo myself, just before I posted this)

I suppose I should have actually used the word Gotcha instead of saying I would keep it in mind. *smile*
March 16th, 2007 at 8:00 pm
Mine is up Too. I love love love dr. pepper.
Thanks for the rest of the post. I will keep in mind.

Who took the photo? Is it ever good. I’m taking part this week too. I love photo hunt.

I used to be a Dr. Pepper addict. But when I had to go all decaf, the decaf version of it just didn’t taste as well to me, so I switched to decaf Pepsi after trying it at a church fellowship. I know what you mean about craving it when you can’t have it!
Oh, and, gotcha.
Thanks again for hosting this. I enjoy it so much. I can’t fathom somebody just copying this — I haven’t seen the copycat list, but what’s sad is that many of the people who join that list won’t realize it’s a ripoff.

I don’t know why, but I could never get the taste of Dr. Pepper. It is one drink I will not have.
My photos are up.
March 16th, 2007 at 7:33 pm
I’m taking part, but I’m up early as I have to work tomorrow.
I’m not a big fan of Dr, Pepper, but cool pic.
March 16th, 2007 at 7:01 pm
I had a bottle of Dr Pepper the other day first time in ages … Only because they didn’t have a can of coka cola though.
Mines up

Maybe it’s just me but it seems that the taste of Dr. Pepper has changed since I was a kid. It used to have more of a ‘kick’ to it but that was back in the early 60’s and it could just be that I have a faulty memory!
As for Mr. Linky, I like it because it’s easier to link back to other posts using it but that’s just me and is a personal preference. I can’t complain, I’ve gotten a lot of good comments every week that I’ve been doing this but I can tell people one thing – you’ve got to leave comments to get comments!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I LOVE DR. PEPPER!! We are lucky and can get Dublin Dr. Pepper here. It’s even better than what you are holding and it’s hard to top a Dr. Pepper.
I appreciate you and your great taste in drinks!
BTW – Gotcha
March 16th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
Gotcha! And thank you.
And I’m afraid I have never had Dr. Pepper! Gotta try it!
My thoughts are with you and I hope your recovery is speedy and complete!
March 16th, 2007 at 6:35 pm
Mine’s up this week too!
I do have a suggestion about the lack of comments though.. a lot of people use “mr.linky” and then want you to add a comment. Entering the same information in both for each site is a pain. I wish people would stop using ‘mr.linky’ if they have the ability to get comments. Also, those who only allow Blogger users to comment, I can’t comment because I don’t have or want to get a Blogger account, so at least allow other users to comment.
Thanks, have a great weekend!
March 16th, 2007 at 6:32 pm
Oh, I love Dr. Pepper, I don’t have any in the house right now, so sad….
I’m glad that everything went well and that you are recovering.
Our photo is up as well – have a great weekend!
March 16th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
I’m glad everything went well and you can get back to your fave drink!
Mine’s up!
March 16th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
So sorry to hear that your ill! May the luck of the Irish speed up your recovery!
Also sorry that you have had complaints and evil impostors!
I love doctor pepper if it is chilled.
Mine is up now and its Saturday here!
March 16th, 2007 at 6:21 pm
Totally “Gotcha” – I promise never to have photos from the web posted on my posts. I do have to protect them though with my ’signature’ now, because I have found some of my pictures on other websites – not photo hunters though…
I knew you would post a Dr. Pepper for today’s theme, but I was expecting an entire case
I am glad that you have your dental work behind you. The appointment in 2 weeks is just a follow-up, right?
Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend, my friend.
March 16th, 2007 at 5:46 pm
I hope you feel better soon! I love me a Dr. Pepper
And Gothcha. Thanks for hosting. I know it’s a sometimes “thankless” job. I do appreciate you doing it though. It’s fun to photo hunt. And difficult this year. I’m having the hardest time digging up pictures. This weeks is a stretch. Happy St. Pat’s Day too 
March 16th, 2007 at 5:45 pm
Oh and, due to my medication and the German time (1 a.m.) I forgot to say: “Gotcha!”
Take care, TNChick =)
March 16th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
Aaaaaah, Dr Pepper! I love love LOVE it – but I haven´t had one for ages. I guess being 2.5 days without Dr. Peppers is for you like being 2.5 days without coffee =)
Well, actually I am, because I´m not allowed to drink coffee while my CD flare-up… so my Hunt is not about caffeine, but Caipirinha (which I can´t have either *LOL*) and Cyber Cruise.
I hope you´ll be fine again soon!
xoxoxo,
and Happy Hunting everyone,
Sanni

Hope you’ll feel better soon. Wishing you the best.
I just posted mine. Take care!
March 16th, 2007 at 5:12 pm
Well, since you’ve posted early, I will too. It’s just gone midnight here so it’s technically Saturday anyway.
I don’t believe I’ve ever had a Dr Pepper but perhaps it goes by a different name here.
Gotcha! I’ll read anything!
