I Took a Chance on This Photo

Karen Hellier @Kouponkaren (5503) • United States 30 Jan 22

I had no idea what this picture was when I chose it. It was a mystery photo to me because the thumbnails of my photos on my computer were so small. But I wanted to use a photo in this post because I haven't been adding photos to...

Julian Might head back to my hometown to spend time with family a bit over the weekend, but I fully intend on relaxing on Memorial Day. My semester of grad school just got out a week ago, and I'm ready to just slow down for the summer!

Is having trust issues okay?

Jerene @Jerene (112) • Tanzania 24 May 19

I can’t even tell my closest friends some secrets, I feel like once we can’t work some things out, my sectets will be out there!

Julian I think this depends completely on the sensitivity of the secrets you have. If they're really sensitive, I could understand not wanting to tell even your closest friends about them. I have things I wouldn't tell my close friends but I would tell my family, for...

do you like Recent Discussions more than you like other sections on Mylot?

Simone @Janet357 (75646) 23 May 19

Julian I'm still pretty new to mylot, trying to become a regular. I've found that I look through the "recent discussions" section more than any other currently. I feel like the conversations found there are the freshest and most likely to be active!

Julian Oh absolutely! I like to have music going whenever I have the chance. I have a number of Spotify and YouTube playlists that feature music without vocals, so that I don't get distracted by any singing. Instrumental music allows me to focus on my work while...

All said and done I prefer dogs to cats as pets

Always smiling @allknowing (137590) • India 22 May 19

We have had many dogs as pets and the last one was Preiti who more than proved that dogs are better pets. I can write a book on Preiti with the happy role she played in keeping me merrily on my toes taking care of her and at...

Julian I like both cats and dogs equally! I think as animals they offer different perks to the household. My cat is very independent, and while she is lovable, she only wants to be loved on her terms. Any time else, she wants to be left alone. My dog, however, always...

Julian This is an incredible resource, thanks for sharing! I host some of my photography on a stock footage site to make a little cash on the side, so I'm not used to seeing sources where photos are available for free use.

Its A Religious Holiday, You`re Not Religious, What Do You Do?

Angie @andriaperry (117133) • Anniston, Alabama 21 Apr 19

I thought about this while I was out today riding through town, all the people. A lot going into restaurants and fast food places. I often wondered what people who are not religious do on these holidays? On another...

Julian I'm not religious, my girlfriend's family is, so I ended up having brunch with them. I don't go to church service or actively celebrate Easter. If my family and family-by-extensions weren't religious either, then I would treat today like any other Sunday most...

Ahhhh i just love puppies!! I have a miniature Australian Sheppard, and I absolutely love this breed. They are full of so much energy and extremely smart dogs.

Julian Hands down, my favorite breed of dog is the Siberian Husky. They're so full of personality and energy, and I think they make great companions! Sure, they a little on the hairy side, but if you can handle the shedding, they're really a great (and gorgeous)...

Writing the news

Joanie @Freelanzer (10743) • Canada 28 Aug 17

Writing for an online news site can be exciting and rewarding but very demanding. This post just gives my overview of one particular site, but won't mention the name here. You write the news but it must be your original...

Julian That's very interesting that there are freelancing opportunities for reporting like this. I interned with a local news station during college and I had also had the opportunity to write some stories for the web. I only rehashed what CNN and other sites already...

Fast Food Choices

Jazon @holdoors (2517) • Malaysia 5 Sep 17

I like fast food, to be honest. However, I try to minimize eating fast food if possible. I usually head to Mcdonalds for an upsized set meal if I have to go to a fast food outlet. What are your faves when it comes to fast food?

Julian I gave up drinking pop in February of this year, and I've since been trying to refrain from going to fast food places as well. If I have to go out to eat or grab something after work, my go-to place is also McDonald's. I do love their fries as well as their...

Do you post a new discussion every day?

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17597) 5 Sep 17

I always like to post something new here every day, even on days when I'm not very inspired I try to think of something nice to say... But there are days that because of lack of time I can't post anything new. How about you?

Julian I've been here for less than a week, but I do try and post on a daily basis. I feel as if I get into that routine, it'll be easier for me to keep it up in the long run!

Public officials have to be able to be deal with all public opinions in a professional manner!

flpoolbum @flpoolbum (2978) • United States 5 Sep 17

Digital Cameras

Jazon @holdoors (2517) • Malaysia 4 Sep 17

With the advent of smartphones equipped with a good camera, we can say that most of us use our phone to take pictures and videos. Do you still use digital cameras at all?

Julian Absolutely I still use a digital camera! My DSLR allows me to manually adjust aperture, Fstop, and shutter speed to get the desired image for whatever it is I may be shooting. Not to mention with a camera, you have the ability to change lenses, which is...

Julian That's incredible! His eyes do have an oddly mesmerizing effect to them. It's slightly unnerving too, which is a good thing! What do you do with your artwork? Like, do you display them somewhere in galleries or such?
