maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 15 Feb 09

What kind of camera do you use to take your pictures? Where and when did you buy your camera, and for how much? What are the best qualities of your camera? Mine is a Canon Powershot (SD1000) 7.1 Mega Pixels. I LOVE the digital...

Flight84 I LOVE photography. I have a Canon Powershot also, but mine is the A2200 series (I think). It's a 14MP and I love it. I was torn between the Canon and the Nikon, but I'm so glad I went with the Canon. I love the toy camera features and the macro. I also use...

Do you do anything special for the fall season?

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 29 Sep 11

I've been at work all day (doing another 12 hour shift!) and it finally slowed down enough for me to slack off and come on MyLot for a bit. Anyway, all day today it's been windy as heck but GORGEOUS as ever outside - so we've had...

Flight84 Fall is my absolute favorite time of year! My husband and I have always carved pumpkins together and we let our 16 month old son fingerpaint his. We'll probably go on a hay ride through an apple orchard and go to a pumpkin patch. I do photography as a hobby so...

Flight84 I love photography and do it as a hobby. I also only have a point and shoot and 2 film cameras. I've been wanting a better camera though. Everyone always says it's between Nikon and Canon for those. I have a Canon point and shoot that I love. I will probably...

Flight84 I'm scared to drive also. I'm not scared to be in vehicles, but my mom is and I know how scared she gets sometimes. I hate having to depend on people all the time, but I can't get past my fear. I never had anyone with lots of patience to give me lessons...

Flight84 First off, let me say I am an Atheist. I'm not loud, rude, or ever in anyone's face about it either. I'm very respectful to any and all religions as long as I get the same respect in return. Feeling like gifts don't have to be given doesn't make you an...

Flight84 I have a one year old son and I've been a preschool teacher of all ages for almost 7 years. I don't know any one year old that has the attention span to sit still for even 10 minutes to watch something. I feel like it would probably be easier for you or for...

Flight84 My periods are very regular, so I knew based off my period. I actually only waited for one missed day of my period before I took the test, but I knew I was. My breasts had stayed tender well past what they normally would before my period, so that was a sign...

Do You Know You Are Or Do You Believe You Are An Atheist?

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 7 Mar 10

Maybe the better way to ask this question is do you know that there is no God or do you just believe that there is no God. My view is not that simple because I have not figured out what my position is on the whole God question....

Flight84 Hello gewcew, I don't like pointing fingers, but I have found that it tends to be theists asserting that they know God exists. I am an atheist. I don't stop at the agnostic level of saying there is a possibility in God's existence. I need strong evidence to...

Why is it that it's only OK for Christians to convert people, and not atheists?

Joker25 @Joker25 (30) 10 Jul 10

Flight84 Hello Joker25, I agree with you completely! It isn't fair, and we atheists must have incredible patience for not lashing out over this. I suppose we can enjoy our quiet bit of arrogance at knowing we seem substantially saner not pounding down people's doors...

Atheists are the best people?

esuturtingas @esuturtingas (15) • Lithuania 9 Jun 11

I saw one interesting thing: many atheists or agnostics do these things: the are non smokers and complete abstinents, they are vegetarians or vegans and sometimes anarchists. But i think atheist or gnostics really understands laws...

Flight84 Well I can't say I agree with the non-smoking, abstinent thing, but studies have shown that atheists make up an extremely small portion of the prison population. I believe it is somewhere around 0.2%, whereas Christians (Catholics included), make up around...

Are there really Aliens out there like Stephen Hawling thinks?

Sourceseeker @Sourceseeker (1197) • United States 1 May 10

Are there really Aliens out there like Stephen Hawking thinks? Stephen Hawking the noted Phyicist and Astrologer believes there are Aliens in the universe and that we may come in contact with them soon. Do you believe him?

Flight84 Hi Sourceseeker, A few decades ago, you'd have a hard time finding a noted scientist who believed in extraterrestrials. Now you would have a hard time finding one who believed we aren't alone in the universe! Some scientists only lean towards us finding...
