myLot image FAQ

ljcrowefamily @ljcrowefamily (323) • United States 29 Oct 06

I have a few so I thought I would start a thread. 1. Must the poster own copyright to the image? (I see a lot of copyright infringement on this feature so far) 2. What size images are preferred or required for upload? Any...

ljcrowefamily Didi anyone ever come up with any answers on this? I can't seem to find a myLot FAQ regarding the images and infringement and protection issues.

What features do you use on your cell phone?

ljcrowefamily @ljcrowefamily (323) • United States 13 Nov 06

I just use mine for calling. No photos, texting, messages, email or internet.

ljcrowefamily What is SMS? In this age of everything having letter anagrams for words I tend to get lost at times.

ljcrowefamily I have a digital camera, and most of the camera phones I've seen only offer up to 2 megapixels if you're lucky - which doesn't get me the print resolution I want. I'd just as soon carry my camera around - it's lightweight.

Favorite toy for parakeets and where to get it

ljcrowefamily @ljcrowefamily (323) • United States 27 Oct 06

We recently added two parakeets to our family and I am looking for help from current parakeet owners on the best toys for them, and where to get them - including both online sources and traditional brick and mortar stores....

ljcrowefamily Hi Melanie. Our birds love the cuttlebone, as well as mirrors and I have found they also really love to ding bells. Yes, they do sing a wonderful song when happy. Silent birds mean either sleeping or unhappy birds. We love our parakeets. We have some natural...

Farting in Public Places

ljcrowefamily @ljcrowefamily (323) • United States 14 Nov 06

How do you handle it? Do you just pass gas and ignore it? Do you say excuse me? Do you pass it off on someone else? What do you think about farts?

ljcrowefamily I won't tell anyone if YOU don't. LOL! My son doesn't like the taste of lactaid milk. We use rice milk and pretty much avoid cow products all together. Not beef eaters either. You can get the generic lactase very inexpensively at Target and CVS. Walmart tends...

What do you think about spanking kids?

ljcrowefamily @ljcrowefamily (323) • United States 14 Nov 06

I have done it, but only on rare occassions. I find that hitting your kids to teach them something isn't especially effective. However, when they are too small to understand talking it out or time outs I've used spanking. Like...

3 responses

ljcrowefamily I agree wtih getting a negative feedback from the child for spanking. As I said, I've done it but it was typically in situations where they were in danger and I wanted to get a firm point across. I don't spank my kids now - they are too old and can be reasoned...

ljcrowefamily I had a relative (my ex's mom) who would not stay the night at any family member's home because she was afraid she would fart in her sleep. That's a bit extreme to me. She also insisted that women don't fart. She said they only pass wind, and that it smells...

ljcrowefamily I agree. Farting is completely natural, and is your bodies way of expelling excess gas. It helps if you eat a diet that doesn't cause farting. My son has awful troubles with dairy and when he consumes dairy his farts could knock down a grown man. However, he...

ljcrowefamily But, aren't you just calling attention to yourself by remarking on the fart in the first place, and placing blame on someone else? I always thik those who make a big deal of it are the ones who did it (unless I know it was me).

ljcrowefamily Ouch. I don't go out of my way to embarrass people in public and view farting as just a natural body function. I say excuse me if I do pass gas, but try to do it in a location that isn't going to stand up and take notice. I don't fart a lot, but my son does. I...

ljcrowefamily Is this listed in a FAQ somewhere? If so, could you provide a link. I haven't really been actively referring people to myLot, but plan to now that I see what a fun community it is. Any opportunity to earn extra money and share my thoughts is a good one and I...

Kissing Your Children

ljcrowefamily @ljcrowefamily (323) • United States 13 Nov 06

Do you kiss them on the lips? I don't. Do you think it's appropriate? If so, what age do you stop?

8 responses

ljcrowefamily I love your of course. To you, kissing your kids on the lips must just be a given, but perhaps that's the experience of your family. It wasn't in mine, so it feels wrong to me. I like that you are firm in your convictions. I am too.

ljcrowefamily Thanks for sharing your perspective. I think it's great that you show your kids love and don't force them to kiss on the lips. With my relatives who did it always felt like being forced. I mean, who wants to kiss someone you don't see often or much like...

ljcrowefamily I agree with you on that. Just curious, what would you tell your kids if they wanted to kiss you on the lips. Why would you tell them it's inappropriate? Do you think that no one should kiss their kids on the lips, or its just not for you personally? Thanks...

ljcrowefamily School definitely adds an element to the mix. that's why I was wondering what age people think is too old. The whole peer pressure issue of being seen given affection to your mom is an interesting topic in and of itself.

ljcrowefamily I agree with you sbeauty. Parents seem to be dropping the ball and passing the buck. I've often advocated for parenting classes before you get pregnant. We have to have a license to drive in America, but we can reproduce at will with no training. Seems skewed...

ljcrowefamily No problem, sbeauty. I know how easily wordsa can get misinterpreted on these forums. I've posted a few things that enflamed people and had them taking offense because they interpreted something wrong. I didn't mean to be a task master.

ljcrowefamily I'm wondering what you mean by this. Are you saying that you are interested in kissing your nephew? I guess that would open up a whole different topic here on myLot now wouldn't it. Thanks for responding to the discussion though.
