littlefranciscan @littlefranciscan (18327) • United States 31 Oct 07

What is it about mylot that keeps you coming back? I know it can't be just the money.. I like the number of people I have come to know. I have learned so many things about people of different countries that I didnt know...

vanbuchanan Well, the "paid to post" concept is what got me here. After I realized that really wasn't what it's about, it's the opportunity to mingle and communicate with people all over the world about everyday things and thoughts and such. In this way I find mylot...

braveheart07 @braveheart07 (2601) • Philippines 31 Oct 07

Do you drink beer? If so, how often? Do you know that drinking beer is also good to your health? Yes, it has been proven already that beer has some advantages to our body; however, it should be in a moderate manner. As we all...

vanbuchanan My favorite style is probably a porter--preferably Real Ale Coffee Porter from Real Ale brewery out of Blanco, Texas. I also enjoy the trappist ales that were mentioned--my favorite is Orval. In the summertime a good pilsner is nice--I like the Czech...

vanbuchanan Wow...this is cool. I also am a Gemini. We tend to talk a lot or so I'm told but I don't know where anyone could get an idea like that...I mean we just say about as much as anyone else would have to say concerning all the facets of a particular subject...

Would you respond to a discussion that had nothing to do with you???

reinydawn @reinydawn (11643) • United States 28 Oct 07

I mean, just to put your two cents in? I have done that on occasion and usually it turns out ok. But recently I responded to a discussion that really didn't affect me, but I thought the person posting might like to know why. So I...

vanbuchanan Actually, I think responding to any or all (if that were possible) is the idea here. I mean, it's not like this is a private area or anything like that. If someone wants to communicate in private they can PM or email or "get a room". Plus it's kinda fun...

JoyceP2007 @JoyceP2007 (230) • United States 27 Oct 07

Auditions

internetmama @internetmama (11) 27 Oct 07

Tomorrow afternoon I have another audition. I hate 'em. It's just plain nerve wracking. It's hard to go sing without an audience. And you've got to fit in with musicians who're like family. Sometimes it's a stone wall. Other times...

vanbuchanan That sounds pretty cool...good luck and all. Be sure to post on here and tell us how it went. I think the hangin' out and letting the auditionee get comfortable is a great approach. Actually, if a band doesn't do it like that you have to wonder about...

vanbuchanan Gosh. I actually don't recall finding this horrid thing. As long as I can remember it's been around. It seems to change through the years also. I'm thinking about photoshopping it too--that may make it a little easier on the eyes.

Do we want Robots as slaves?

swaroop_sv2003 @swaroop_sv2003 (531) • India 26 Oct 07

I have seen many movies where the future is controlled by technologies. Humans got Robots as a slave to do their work and at the end robots will turn back and attack them (remember the movie irobot?). Well that was just a fiction....

vanbuchanan 10k just doesn't "look" right. 14k is borderline so 18k or higher is the way to go. Of course if you're prospecting, you take whatever you find--which will usually be between 18k and 22k anyway plus it's a lot more fun than shopping in a jewelry store.
