missyphoebe @missyphoebe (289) • Philippines 12 May 11

What's the difference between a point and shoot cam to a DSLR? they are just the same for me but DSLR prints are really more detailed than the point and shoot camera. I would like to have a DSLR but It's more expensive than the...

Avetre DSLR shots are not inherently better than a shot taken by a point and shoot of similar quality. What makes them better is the skill of the photographer; DSLRs are meant to be used by professionals and skilled hobbyists who know how to adjust all of the various...

Cold hands and feet

Cargoleta @Cargoleta (723) • Spain 4 Dec 10

Hi myLotters! I checked if there were any discussions about this but they were all quite old, so I though I'd start a new topic :) My hands and feet are almost always really cold, especially in winter (of course). I've heard...

Avetre Coldness in the extremities has lots- and lots and lots- of potential causes, including diabetes, food allergies, being overweight, and anemia. Exercise encourages your body to send more blood to your extremities, and try cut down on caffeine if you consume it...

What's the worst thing a parent could say to his/her child/children?

totallyundecided @totallyundecided (3190) • Philippines 4 Dec 10

Yesterday, while I was busy cleaning in our place. I can hear our neighbor scolding his 14 year old kid. Of course, anyone who gets scolded by their parents in front of many people is a little embarrassing, too. Then this...

Avetre Oh, my. Call Child Protective Services on him, if you haven't already! There is a fine line between "bad parent" and "abusive", and he has clearly long since crossed it. This kid's father is setting her up for either repeatedly taking abusive partners or...

Is Atheism Just Anti-Christianity

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 22 Feb 10

Atheism is suppose to be the non belief in deities, so all deities would be included. So why do Atheist always seem, at lest to me to be trying to debunk Christianity? If you go onto YouTube you can find countless videos of...

Avetre First off, atheist/atheism is not capitalized except at the beginning of a sentence. It is not a religion, but a philosophy based on the idea that there are no Gods. Just as the vast majority of theists (people who believe in God(s)) are nice, respectful...

What you think about this game

luckylooyay @luckylooyay (13) • Canada 17 Nov 10

Hey all. This world of warcraft is one of the most popular game in the world if its not THE most. In my opinion I think its crazy to pay 20$ per month to play a game and I think that too many person get away from the real life...

Avetre Actually, the game is $15 a month. This may seem steep to some people, but it's cheaper than lunch and a matinée where I live. Lunch and a movie takes two to three hours. I play WoW for an hour or two a day on average, and I have more fun playing it than...

What gives?

rosegardens @rosegardens (3032) • United States 3 Dec 10

Hello fellow mylotters. I have a bit of a drama going on. I have a steam boiler, and had someone take it apart in the summer to re-pipe it because it was done wrong. The guy did finally remove the pipes, but never did finish the...

Avetre Assuming that you had a contract written out for the job you can easily take the contractor to small claims court, and he can be forced to finish the job or pay for someone else to. Technically you can still bring a verbal contract to court, but the burden is...

Avetre You should not be worried unless he starts hiding things from you. He may simply get along better with women then men in general. No one should have to give up any friends when they get married- male or female- unless the friendship is not healthy to begin...

How do I detect unwanted or strangers connecting to our wifi?

hippiemomdiaries @hippiemomdiaries (815) • Philippines 3 Dec 10

We have a wifi router at home. It is open most of the time because a lot of household members use computers almost all at the same time. We have installed a password on it. Though, there are times when I think our wifi connection...

Avetre If you have a sufficiently strong password, the slowdown is unlikely to be the fault of unauthorized connections. First, check what your other household members are doing. Streaming music and shows or playing online video games can lag other users on the same...

Do you have a digital camera?

firecracker @sacmom (14192) • United States 6 Sep 09

And if so, how long have you had it for? I've had my current digital camera for the past 3 and a half years and by the looks of it, it went out on me (died). I thought that maybe it was just the batteries that needed charging, but...

Avetre Good thing it was just the batteries. One way to check if a battery is truly dead is to lick your fingertip and press one end of the battery to your tongue and the other to your finger. If the battery still has a charge, you will feel a little tingle that...
