when responding to a post do you?

violann @violann (436) • United States 10 Sep 12

When responding to a post do you say what you actually think about the matter at hand or do you say what you think the person wants to hear. I read a post tonight that I responded harshly to because it really got under my skin...

fineartist Since you prefer honesty, as I do, I do not post a lot on Mylot. If a thread does not interest me, I do not post a reply. I do not post what the person who starts a discussion wants to hear, unless I agree with that person. Have a good day.

Text Messaging short cuts & using spell check.

violann @violann (436) • United States 17 Aug 12

I don't know about the rest of you, I find it annoying when I try to read someones post and it is full of text messaging short cuts or abbreviations. When I see a post that is text messaged I stop reading it and move on to the...

fineartist I do find it annoying to read posts that contain abbreviations that I do not know the meaning of. Misspelled words are annoying to read. However, there are people who post here on Mylot, for whom English is not their first language. And, it is for this...

When moving do you clean.

violann @violann (436) • United States 16 Aug 12

When you move from one place to another do you make sure the place you're moving from is a clean or cleaner than the day you moved in? I do, I make sure it's as clean if not cleaner than the day I moved in for two reasons: 1st...

fineartist I, too, like to be sure that the place I am moving from is very clean. It doesn't have to be spotless, but definitely has to be very clean. I agree with what you have stated, completely! Have a great day!

fineartist Yes, "use it or lose it" definitely applies to me. This is true for me, in regard to remembering passwords for particular websites that I don't frequent on a regular basis. Enjoy Mylotting again and have a good day.

fineartist I think it's really nice that you have a virtual friend, here on MyLot, that you feel very good about. I do not have special friends or acquaintances here on Mylot, and the reason is because I do not spend enough time here.

More megapixels or More zoom? Which would you get?

vivasuzi @vivasuzi (4127) • United States 5 Jun 12

I'm deciding between two Canon point and shoot cameras. They are about the same price so that isn't the issue. One has 16.1 megapixels and 5x optical zoom. The other has 10.1 megapixels and 12x optical zoom. Which is better? More...

fineartist I agree with connierebel, in that the camera you choose needs to depend on what you plan to photograph. Good luck in your decision-making.

fineartist I can't agree more with you about how scammers stop at nothing! Your email is a very weird one. I have gotten very strange email messages, too. Almost always, the subject lines alert me to the scam contained within the email message. I think there...

fineartist Living with a young baby is difficult. Their needs are great and very time-consuming. Do you have family who could care for your baby for a few hours per week? It sounds as though you may be involved in too many projects. What do you think? [b]Making...
