What is your favorite thing to photograph?

SilentRose19 @SilentRose19 (1733) • United States 23 Apr 07

I love taking pictures of people and flowers, scenery is great with a sky in the background. What do you like taking pictures of? Do you like to use a certain type of camera? What is better digital or regular cameras? Do you like...

SouthernRain I like taking pictures of people and scenery. My favorite of all is capturing the essence of a moment. I don't enjoy doing weddings but it's part of my job, you know. My favorite camera on a day to day basis is my Nikon d200. If I were out just taking pictures...

I'll Take That Back

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 24 Apr 07

Have you ever bought your partner an expensive present, like a computer, car or jewellery and then soon afterwards he/she has left you? Whether it's a month or two months later for example. Would you want the present or the...

SouthernRain I had this guy that I broke up with not too long before Christmas. We had been dating a long time and he knew that I had a very expensive gift on hold for him that he had been wanting forever. A few weeks after we broke up, he had the audacity to ask if we...

I find this very disturbing, Girls, do you really want to look like a skeleton?

recycledgoth @recycledgoth (9894) 29 Mar 07

I read a rather worrying article this morning that said, based on a survey of 5000 women. '97% of women think that size 12 is fat' and that '58% think that men find size zero attractive' This is very disturbing and serious issue...

SouthernRain I don't think that weight is a big issue with most people. If it was, there wouldn't be such a high percentage of obese people in the US right now. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with being a size zero. Jessica Alba is a size zero and she's hot for...

Caila611 @Caila611 (992) • United States 14 Mar 07

My daughter is ten and is a slob. I asked her yesterday to clean her room at 4pm and that she could not play until it was done. So the boys and I are playing outside and she comes out and plays and swears up and down she cleaned...

SouthernRain I have an eleven year old boy and I have been through some of the same problems. One thing that does work is the going into the room (after a warning of such) and removing anything that is out of place. Eventually, she will get the picture. I did this with...

New dog has to go

jchampany @jchampany (1130) • United States 13 Mar 07

I have to take the new dog we got about 3 weeks ago back to the animal shelter. She is just destroying my house and terrorizing my kids. She's a sweet dog. When I say terrorizing I mean she wants to play with them but knocks them...

SouthernRain Please don't be down on yourself for not being ready for the dog. Maybe instead of the animal shelter, you could find an adoption only place or find someone who wants a dog. Vets are excellent places to post a picture. For clarification, you have got to...

SouthernRain A great site to start with is www.bhphotovideo.com. I have found that when buying new equipment, they are the most reasonable. You can compare their prices to other places and see that the better deal is there. They sell kits that come with the body, a lens...

Do childless couples downgrade you for having kids?

madtownsweety @madtownsweety (418) • United States 28 Feb 07

I have a couple friends that dont have any children. They will always make comments on how nice it is that they don't have kids. That they can go out and do whatever whenever. That there is no need for them to get a babysitter or...

SouthernRain The simply do not know what they are missing. They also probably want kids but thus far, have not come far enough in their life plan to be blessed with children. It sounds like they are really selfish and I would guess that's why they don't have any kids. Of...

Scott @callarse1 (4783) • United States 28 Feb 07

Okay, let me give you some background to this. There is this website where people can "confess" (in Spanish) about their lives. One person wrote that he loved this 12 year old girl, but they had twenty-years difference, so that...

SouthernRain I would say she needs more than one instance on a staticky phone to be convinced he's cheating. It might not have been him, only someone who sounded like him, unless of course the caller id was working properly. She should be able to tell when he comes home...

SouthernRain My son did this at about the same age. It is something that you just have to answer the best you can and let it go. I always said that if my child is old enough to ask, then he's old enough to get the truth from me. My son fretted over this from time to time...

Isn't it nice, to do the things you want to, without hurting your budget?

ljcapps @ljcapps (1925) • United States 25 Feb 07

SouthernRain Being happy is absolutely a CHOICE. Every day when you wake up, you choose whether you will be happy, in a good mood, lazy, productive, etc. No matter the circumstances, you can always choose to not be pessimistic about it. It's a long haul to turn your...
