Can you see the deer in this photo?

Pat Z Anthony @PatZAnthony (14749) • Charlotte, North Carolina 21 Feb 16

We have deer visiting us on a daily basis. Usually they hide well enough that grabbing a camera or cell phone to snap a photo won't work. Although we know the deer is standing on the other side of some trees, we can't spot it at...

Working for yourself .....good idea or too risky ?

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (1784) • United Kingdom 21 Feb 16

I have had an offer from a friend to go into business. Actually it would just be making more official what we do now. For several years we have been knitting items to sell. We have sold online but as we have been working during...

In The Misty Moonlight

DW Davis @DWDavis (25805) • United States 20 Feb 16

Tonight when I went to feed the front door cats I noticed the almost full moon shining through a haze of stratus clouds and thought it might make a good picture. I don't really have the lens I need to get the shot I'd really like,...

Bill Kasman I have tried taking photos of the moon and I can tell you it isn't easy to get a decent image! How the professionals do it is beyond me but I suppose they can afford top-of-the-range fancy cameras which work out all the parameters for them.

It's A Dangerous World

suziecat7 @suziecat7 (3350) • Asheville, North Carolina 21 Feb 16

I've been working on a series of travel Kindle books and I make it a habit to check with both U.S. and U.K. current government travel warnings. What I'm finding out is the world is an increasingly dangerous place. ISIS has long...

Bill Kasman Nowadays the only travelling my wife and I do is around our native Scotland. Our eldest son went to Vietnam for a month a couple of years ago and had a great time - friendly people and not a hint of trouble anywhere. I guess we have to be choosy now.

What would you do, if you're in my shoes?

Wendy789 @Drosophila (16571) • Ireland 21 Feb 16

I have a bit of a real dilemma and I really could do with some opinions other than my own. I am great friends with this guy. We talk a lot and hang out a fair bit. I do like him a lot. Short version, I found out he's got a...

Bill Kasman A tricky situation. Probably best to keep your distance - at least while he has a girlfriend. If that relationship ends then he's fair game!

Can I give you my myLot two cents worth?

AbbyGreenhill @AbbyGreenhill (45494) • United States 21 Feb 16

Seriously, that's what is in my bank for today so far, two cents. That's sorta sad isn't it? I guess I wasn't on here as much as my fingers say I was! But I have noticed, as many of you have I am sure, that when you stay at the...

Have You Ever Been On A Train?

Jabo @jaboUK (64354) • United Kingdom 21 Feb 16

Some time ago I wrote about riding on a steam train in my childhood, and what struck me about the reaction to that post was the number of Americans who said that they had never been on a train, steam or otherwise I remember with...

Live and Don't Learn

paigea @paigea (36318) • Canada 20 Feb 16

Yesterday was a sloppy day outside so I put on this old uncomfortable pair of shoes. I wasn't going to be walking much just from the car into each errand and into two gas stations for mystery shops. So I didn't think it would...

Bill Kasman No, you're not! I still have lots of things I acquired many years ago. Some of them are not very pretty looking now but as long as they still work that's OK by me.

Never give up

Karen Waterson @rosekiss (30414) • Eugene, Oregon 1 Feb 16

When things don't go the way they should, we all have a tendency to give up and say the heck with it and never try again. Quitting never gets you anywhere. It seems the easiest thing to do is to give up, but that is the cowards...

Bill Kasman Oh I dunno - I've given up plenty of things. Smoking, drinking, eating junk food, etc The trick, of course, is to give up those things which are bad for you and not those things which require a little perseverance to fulfill - relationships,...

There is a singing monkey in my bed.

Happy Lady and Freya the Catblog Cat @Jackalyn (7558) • Oxford, England 31 Jan 16

I have not slept. The monkey arrived and demanded to get on the sofa with me. It just would not move. Now, early in the morning it is still here awake and singing. My grandson in a monkey suit. I am looking after him....

A Tin Bath In Front Of The Fire.

Jabo @jaboUK (64354) • United Kingdom 30 Jan 16

When I was a little girl in the 1940s, we were only able to have a bath once a week. We lived in a two-up, two-down house, with a kitchen at the back. There was no bathroom, no hot water on tap, and daily washing took place...

Bill Kasman I also used to get bathed in a tin bath. When we moved to a new tenement flat in Glasgow my mother used to bath me in one of the twin sinks in the kitchen - right in front of the window!

Most Old Posts of Mine Aren't Recyclable, but Where to Put the Ones That Are?

Marsha @MarshaMusselman (38867) • Midland, Michigan 22 Jan 16

I've still been able to retrieve a few older posts from Bubblews, but most of them aren't recyclable as they are either tutorials about bubblews itself, or about various things going on at that time like the weather or general...

Bill Kasman I have done few on Persona Paper which could be used elsewhere with some editing - tutorials on Pixabay, Flickr, copyright of images, and a couple of others. Not the sort of stuff which would do well on myLot though.

What are your thoughts about the imminent shutdown of Persona Paper?

Paul Kuehn @pauliek (287) • Udon Thani, Thailand 30 Jan 16

After logging on to Persona Paper this morning, I learned from the owner of the site that Persona Paper will be closing due to lack of ad revenue to pay its writers. I have been blogging on Persona Paper for just over a year and...

Bill Kasman Persona Paper was one of the most versatile sites around, allowing both short, ''how ya doing?'' type posts and longer, more complicated articles. It started off great but then Google banned the site from Adsense (unfairly in many people's opinion) which...
