What Do You Do When You Feel Burned Out?

icjackson @icjackson (186) • United States 22 Jan 07

I had a really hard time this weekend - I was completely burned out. God helped me through it, but I had to put down everything and just take some time to rest. I felt bad at first, like I was shirking my responsibilities...that's...

solstice_imaging I do just as you did, though on a different level. Photography really relaxes me, and though it is part of my business, I do it for my own pleasure as well. As a matter of fact, I've done some of my best work when I take a trip out just to let go after a long...

why does she do this??

jesi06 @jesi06 (279) • United States 20 Jan 07

There is a SERIOUS issue that I would like to know more about. It is called "cutting". There is a female who I love very much that "cuts" or self mutilates her body at times when she gets into a depression mode. I would like to...

solstice_imaging I have heard, that cutting brings about a mental difference in those who do it. It alleviates emotional pain by putting focus on the physical. Also, most who do this have very low self-esteem, and it is a way for them to "punish" themselves for however they...

Soul Mates

Raevyn1972 @Raevyn1972 (275) • Canada 20 Jan 07

Do you believe in the concept of soul mates? That there is one, possibly more than one person in this world who thinks, acts, walks, talks, believes like you do and that it's only a matter of time before you're together (either...

solstice_imaging I totally believe in soul mates. Many might think it depressing that there is only one person in this entire world who is meant for you, and you for them. How are we supposed to find that one person, among the billions and billions of people out there? Well, I...

solstice_imaging I definitely feel like photography is an art! Even though many feel that anyone can pick up a camera and snap a photo, I guarantee you that a skilled photographer with a trained eye can produce so much more with the simplest of subjects! Why do you think it is...

The Qur'an (Koran) in Congress?

FinalNemesis @FinalNemesis (23) • United States 20 Jan 07

"Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, will use a Koran once owned by Thomas Jefferson, during his ceremonial swearing-in" How does everyone feel about using the Qur'an for swearing in a public official? Should...

solstice_imaging Honestly speaking, I am a very tolerant person. But I think this country has lost sight of a major element that was set in place to protect and maintain the running of this country, and that is the "separation of church and state." Remember that one, from way...

Have you taken time to customize your profile?

icjackson @icjackson (186) • United States 19 Jan 07

I have noticed that many myLotters aren't customizing their profiles. However, as in all things, when you take the time and effort to present yourself in a professional and/or original way, people respond. I have seen some of...

solstice_imaging I actually haven't. I left mine as it is because I thought it would look better that me trying to add a bunch of bright colors. I think the original settings for the profile look professional, even if they aren't unique or personal. To me, it doesn't make a...

solstice_imaging The thing that has worked for me is finding something that you really care about that will motivate you to stick to it. My boyfriend and I now have to do long distance, and it's hard. But we are celebrating our 1 year anniversary, and I'm going to visit him...

What's your favourite photo editing program?

solstice_imaging My use is both professional and personal, and my program of choice is Paint Shop Pro Photo XI from Corel. I also have the Corel Draw Graphics suite. Both are, to me, way easier to understand than Photoshop or Illustrator, and both can produce very...

Any suggestions?

jojopuff @jojopuff (520) • United States 18 Jan 07

My husband and I are trying to figure out something to do on a date night so that we can reconnect after a long work week. We don't have any extra money so it can't be anything that you have to pay for. We just need something...

Who should pay for the wedding?

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 18 Jan 07

I was reading a topic about parents paying for college and I was wondering how people felt about paying for the daughter's wedding? I know that traditionally, the parents of the bride are supposed to foot the bill, and the...

solstice_imaging I believe that both sets of parents should contribute, as well as the children getting married. After all, it is traditionally the man who proposes, so why should only the woman's parents be responsible for paying? And if all parents involved want their...
