kiran1978 @kiran1978 (4134) • Australia 1 May 08

I am fascinated with learning the guitar at the moment. My partner last night showed me how to play a few chords. I actually managed to play a couple of chords, beginners luck. I am a bit impatient though I want to learn how to...

gaylordfocker615 Hey, good luck with that! I tried to learn to play about a decade ago. Did some lessons, bought a couple of picks and playbooks and "how to" cd's. Unfortunately, that didn't work out for me. Don't get me wrong, I practiced and practiced but I think my fingers...

If you could be given another talent or ability, what would you want it to be?

kiran1978 @kiran1978 (4134) • Australia 22 Apr 08

If I could be gifted with any talent, I would love to have an awesome voice, that when people hear me sing they would be in amazement (he he). I love singing and I can sing okay I have...

gaylordfocker615 I have asked myself over and over before, do I have a talent? Talent would be something you are very good at with minimal effort...it's something innate. I don't have anything like that, I think. I'm still in the process of discovering it, if indeed it exists....

gaylordfocker615 I've seen and heard too many terrible news about home invasions and such that I definitely would not have some stranger come in to use my toilet or my phone or give them a glass of water. There's just no way. I consider myself a very reasonable man and even a...

when you can live forever, what will you live for?

mskzalameda @mskzalameda (4023) • Philippines 21 Apr 08

Forever is quite impossible unless someone already discovered the fountain of youth but let's just say that we can live forever, what will you live for? I got the idea from TWILIGHT, a best selling novel about vampires. I...

gaylordfocker615 I do want to have a long fruitful life, but I don't want to be immortal because sooner or later, I would probably get tired of life. Besides, not dying is very unnatural. hehehe. We have to abide by the circle of life, hehe. This discussion reminds me of the...

gaylordfocker615 Hey, thanks for the link, I'll surely have fun with the game. I don't spend too much time on my computer to play because I only have Chess and some Skate board game. Back in the day when I had a PC though, I spent countless hours (that translated into days,...

Do you think your childhood formed you tremendously?

wnbwnbwnb @wnbwnbwnb (426) • China 17 Apr 08

I just watched this documentary,and it said that one's childhood shaped one tremendously. If you were raised by a single mom,then you may want to marry someone just like your father; If your family was happy and positive,then...

gaylordfocker615 I think it was Freud who said that "child is father of the man" indicating that however you were molded as a child, whether in a good or bad way, you are who you are because of your childhood. I'm sure that this isn't always applicable but I think it's...

Do you prefer a Pocket PC or a Smartphone?

gaylordfocker615 @gaylordfocker615 (389) • Philippines 16 Apr 08

I currently own a T-Mobile Dash otherwise known as the HTC Excalibur S620. It's a nice enough phone since it fits snugly inside my side pockets whether I wear jeans or loose pants. I used to own a Treo 600 and it was a pain to...

gaylordfocker615 Hmmmm...I never thought of replacing my laptop for a pocket pc since they are two different devices meant to do different things. I do have both, although my ppc isn't one of those ppc/phone hybrids. Thanks!

worldwise1 @worldwise1 (14885) • United States 15 Apr 08

It came to my attention a few days ago that Microsoft has decided to retire the Windows xp version. I have become very fond of xp, and evidently so have many others because they have been persuaded to extend the deadline before...

Google Adsense....

jarves @jarves (814) • Philippines 13 Apr 08

Hi, I now all of you have already heard of google's adsense. I have even read and heard of testimonials from other people. I really want to know if Adsense is true. Is true that they will pay you from the clicks that you earn from...

gaylordfocker615 Well, since Google is a big company then there is no question whether they can pay up or not. The big G can definitely cough up some serious bucks. Now, the problem is that if your blog or website doesn't get as much hits or visitors as let's say aol.com or...

Do you respond to stupid topics just to get more money on myLot?

arjun999 @arjun999 (1004) • India 10 Apr 08

Discussions are funny things. You never know how many responses you will get. Some times your smartest discussions wont get many responses and some of our mediocre discussions get many responses. This leaves us a question. Do you...

gaylordfocker615 No, this is not a stupid "discussion" as I find it relevant for the MyLot community. I don't know what you consider stupid discussions but I'll equate stupid with simple for the sake of my specific response for this discussion. I do respond to simple...

gaylordfocker615 1000 posts! Wow! If I didn't know how difficult it is to respond and make discussions I wouldn't be impressed. That's quite a feat, something I wish can accomplish before I turn year 2 in MyLot. I know what I'll do when I get to the 999 threshold, I'll make a...
