The Dreamie: It's Like A Snuggie That You Sleep In

Anna, are you hinting to us that you want a snuggie and a dreamie for christmas presents?

I'm slightly tempted. I HATE sleeping in hotel sheets. IF I could, I would bring a complete set of sheets and my own pillows, but since you have to pay for every piece of luggage now I just have to suck it up and sleep in gross hotel sheets and use their pillows.

Did anyone else read the story about Walmart and the funeral pics that was on the Dreamie page?
Sheesh.

I worked in a WalMart photo lab to put myself through college and it was WalMart's policy that even if a picture appeared to be professional we were not to copy it. There are copyright laws and the worker was just doing her job. I got screamed at, spit at, and things thrown at me because I wouldn't let someone make copies of their child's school photo. The parent had paid $15 for a couple of pictures and figured they would just make more copes at WalMart for 20 cents a piece. Suck it up and buy the pictures from the photographer, that is how they make a living and there are laws to protect the photographer. People got ticked at me, but I wasn't willing to risk my job by breaking the law because they were cheap.

We did have some of those funeral situations, and I did feel bad for the person, but at the same time, I was not going to risk my job. There was another place in town that did copy them, so I would help the customer with the pictures I could copy and they would usually thank me and go to the other place to get their professional pictures copied. The only people that were really nasty about it were people that were being cheap.

Fast forward ten years and now I am the professional photographer. I do not make prints (don't want to deal with the printing companies) so I am able to charge a bit more than other photographers charge for a photoshoot but unlike the other places, which only include proofs of the shoot in the price and not the copyright, my clients get a burned CD of all of their images and a copyright release, which I give them in paper and put a file on the CD. This way the client can print however many pictures they want, whenever they want, and they don't have to deal with the whole copyright issue and I'd like to think that I save some poor WalMart employee the hassle of dealing with yet ANOTHER copyright issue.

On the original topic, I would love a Snuggie, but a Dreamie doesn't really look like something I am interested.

I do not have a "Dreamie" BUT I do have something simliar that I got at Bed Bath and Beyond. It is called a sleep sack (?) and it is intended to bring with you when you travel. (I used the BBB coupons and paid less than $10 each) It is soft cotton but it does not open as far as the Dreamie does. I use to carry 2 sets of sheets with us when we would travel but now I just roll up these sacks and off we go.

I hate to hijack Anna's post, but in answer to your question - yes, I read it and almost exactly two years ago, was in the same position. My mother died and my husband and I took photos to Walmart to have prints made for her memory board. Suffice it to say that once my photos were printed, the lady wouldn't let me pay for or keep them. My emotions were far too raw for me to have behaved as I should have, and I said some things I've never said in public before. Right before I sank to my knees and truly broke down.

Once hubby got me to the car, he drove to Target and bought a photo printer for my laptop.

I understand the copyright issue. Do I agree? Unfair question - the memories are still very raw for me and I am very, very biased.

They sell snuggies absolutely everywhere now. This is the first I've heard of a 'Dreamie'...cool post!

Love the Dreamie idea. I absolutely cringe every time I have to sleep under hotel sheets. It just grosses me out. This would be a nice thing to have if you have to sleep in hotels a lot.
