Autumnrose2008 @Autumnrose2008 (1478) • United States 3 Dec 08

Have you ever dreamed of quiting your real job for an online job. One that don't require you work 40+ hours every week just to get a decent pay check. I have but unfortunatly I am at this time not able to. If you have been able to...

8ctavarium If I ever did have a steady and good online job, then I would quit my day job any day. It's just that online jobs usually require a lot of work and effort to start off with, which unfortunately means that returns won't be so good at the start. And if things...

Do you delete your private messages here in myLot?

richiem @richiem (3644) • Philippines 11 Jul 08

I have been thinking about this since the time I discovered that the responses are tied to the original message. It got me thinking, if I delete a message, would it also be deleted in the messages page of the one who...

8ctavarium No I don't delete them. I hardly have any in the first place, but if I did have a lot, I would probably delete. It's not a section that I view a lot to be honest.

How long have you been a member of mylot? What are your thoughts about it?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 5 Jun 08

My profile says I have been a member for one year but I think that's wrong! Of course I could be wrong too but oh well. I have to say that it's one of my favorite sites and even though I haven't been online...

8ctavarium I've been for over a year now, and whilst my participation has gone down a bit, I have made some handy spare cash from just posting every now and then. $20 in total for little work each as well as something to do to help pass time or get my mind of study...

Can't Fight The Urge...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 15 May 08

There are thousands of candy bars out there in the stores just waiting to be bought and eaten. Snickers, Twix, Hershey’s, Baby Ruth, and Three Musketeers just to name a few. They come in all different mixtures, some with caramel,...

8ctavarium I love chocolate but I can fight the urge. Usually the motivation is that my wallet is a little too close to being empty, and so I don't buy unless I'm hungry or need something small to fill me up.

lucky_witch @lucky_witch (2707) • Philippines 19 Aug 07

What do you do when you see a cockroach? Do you just leave it alone and pretend that you dont see it? Do you get some spray and spray it directly? Do you step unto it? Play with it? Or you immediately leave the room?...

8ctavarium I'm not a fan of dancing in general and so I haven't really watched any. But I have seen Honey, which I was outvoted by friends in choosing a movie to watch. It wasn't too bad, but in general, I'm more into music (instruments) and sport rather than dancing.

Are You Ready to Die?

weng_08 @weng_08 (282) • Philippines 16 May 08

I wish I could be one of those who aren't scared of death. I believe it takes much faith to be able to fully understand it. Though I try, I still find it difficult to simply accept that I would one day lose the ones I truly care...

8ctavarium Nope, not yet. I'm still young and still have a lot to live for (well a lot of things to do still). So I am no way ready to die. Although I do fear losing loved ones, just couldn't image life without them for the time being.

8ctavarium This is the first time I've heard this also. In fact, the only thing I've ever hear of is that you should drink lots of water. How much though is another question.

8ctavarium And people still do it even though there are serious fines in Australia. In fact I think more people are even texting and driving these days. It's absurd.

Online Banking is great. Do you use it?

cheongyc @cheongyc (5072) • Malaysia 3 Apr 08

15 years back, we couldn't imagine what online bank is like. Nowadays, it's getting so common and had benefited us with the convenience and transparency it brings along. There is one local bank in our country, MayBank Berhad, is...

8ctavarium It's great, it's fast and very convenient, but there is nothing better than paying in cash when you have the time and amount ready. It just feels so much secure doing it that way. But technology is good enough to trust these days as long as you take...

8ctavarium You have 64bit version of windows installed so it shouldn't be a problem. I personally haven't heard of Soltek as a motherboard manufacturer but perhaps it is a problem with either the board or the chipset on the board is limiting it. Some chipsets are just...

Do you read out loud or silently???

luvingmygirls @luvingmygirls (493) • United States 27 Mar 08

I have noticed that when I am reading to myself I end up reading the words out loud. I don't know why but I do. I always tell my daughter to read to herself and then I feel like a hipocritical when I catch myself doing it. Do...

Do you use lotion?

mycharm88 @mycharm88 (2288) • Philippines 4 Feb 08

Oh well guys, just a question if you're using lotion everyday after washing or bathing? I do, and i think i can't be without it. I hate the feeling of dryness on my skin. Honestly i do have very dry skin so i have to apply lotion...

8ctavarium Yes I do. I too hate the feeling of dryness on the skin. And I find that it does help in the long run to reduce this dryness, but sometimes there isn't much you can do, because thats just the way your skin is. I too envy those with perfect skin.
