Youngsters on mylot?

mummymo @mummymo (23706) 18 Jun 07

volschenkh I am in two minds about this. Firstly, I think many of the spammers on this site has been of the younger age group, and secondly like Wolfie said at least they are kept of the street by keeping them busy in a safe community. So to me its a little bit...

wiccania @wiccania (3360) • United States 17 Jun 07

I took this picture last week while it was raining. It was light out and overcast, so I used a flash. I kind of like the way it turned out. Any thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

volschenkh Interesting effect of the rain drops on the rose and in the background. I think perhaps you need a little more light/fill-in flash. The foggyness just above the main rose is a little disturbing; did you take the pic through a window? Second background rose is...

volschenkh Hi maybe in the USA, but like many people have indicated it does not make mathematical sense, because many pin numbers are palindromes, which means it would be the same forward or reversed. Be limiting the pin numbers to non- palindromic option only, will...
