Last night, my mother went to her school reunion without telling anybody in my family including my father. Then, she came back at 1.07 A.M.. After she took her bath, my father ask politely where did she went to and why she don't...

silvatungfox The first thing I "suggest" you do, is not take sides in this. My own opinion is that if your Mother has to "ask permission" to do anything, the relationship is not one I would wish on anyone. It is not surprising to me that this type of environment would...

So here is a question: Does it matter how expensive your camera is if you are trying to get noticed for the photos you take with it? I own two digital cameras, and each of them cost under $150. I own a Samsung Digimax 360 and a...

silvatungfox A good photographer can work with pretty much any equipment to create good pictures. Granted there are limitations to the lower end cameras, but if you know these limitations, and know about lighting and focus, you can still create some good shots with what...

What was the last book you read that you just couldn't put down? That you either read in one sitting or put it down because you had to but then finished it as soon as you could the next time you grabbed it? I'm asking because I...

silvatungfox Stone Cold by David Baldacci. Most Baldacci books are hard to put down for me, but then I like a good detective/mystery story. I think my favorite by Baldacci is "The Winner".

Capturing images and making them immortal is one of the reasons as to why we should thank photography. Earth is vast and wonderful, everything in it is worth to be cherished no matter how nice or not so nice it is. People find...

silvatungfox It is a combination of the two. You can learn the basics but usually if you are a truly gifted photographer, you have an instinct, an eye for composition/ light/ form. A technically perfect photo can lack the emotion or "feel" that a less than perfect photo...

silvatungfox I write on hub pages regularly. Sometimes I choose a subject that is current and give my perspective other times I go to the requests and see if anything someone is asking for a hub to be written on strikes a chord with me. Either way, there is plenty to write...

A few years ago, my daughter was lying on her belly on the floor when our momma kitty walked by her. Emie decided to be funny and "talk" to Momma - in cat. The sound she made really did sound like a cat - a sort of a little...

silvatungfox Since cats (and dogs for that matter) think in pictures rather than in words, it would really depend on what your daughter was thinking of just before, during and after she spoke kitty. Animals language is more complex owing to the thought energies involved....

silvatungfox My first suggestion is that you start spell checking everything you write everywhere. For instance: "One of the comments English teachers dread to see on their evaluations is 'The professor really helped me improve my writting.' When "-ing" is added to a word...

I've always thought that the point of the womens movement was for equal gender rights. The basis being that a woman can be strong willed, run a business, raise a family and basically do what ever she sets her mind to do. Why do...

silvatungfox Obama is just less dangerous a choice than Palin and McCain. I doubt there will ever be a "perfect" candidate in anyone's view. The "bigger issue" as you call it it comes down to Obama being the lesser of the evils.

silvatungfox As with any label you will find a variety of sematics and even more definitions as to what that label implies. One issue feminists may lay claim to the label based upon their support of equal pay for equal work. I would not argue with them over this, since...

silvatungfox In the 60's and 70's the feminist movement worked to change social and medical values to give women the status of full person rather than uterine vessel for babies. Palin and other "feminists for life" miss the mark since they show little interest in...

silvatungfox Sarah Palin is about as far from a feminist "ideal" as any woman can be. My own objections to her include but are not limited to her condoning and approving of aerial killing of wolves in Alaska. This included machine gun "hunts" and running packs of...

I can't figure it out, Obama has less than a one year experience as a JR. Senator. He is a horrible public speaker, unless it is written down for him, He is known for disliking America, just as his wife does, he is pro-abortion,...

silvatungfox If in fact you are serious, lets clear up a couple of things you have wrong. The first is that Obama is not pro-abortion, he is pro-choice, which any sane woman will tell you that it is ethically wrong to insist on laws controlling her body. Many women would...

silvatungfox I don't actually think it is worth the energy to bristle, there are folks of all types here. I usually will call things as I see them, which sometimes has been taken as my being rude or harsh. I have also had some rather lengthy going back and forth with...
