I really like indian food! I'm an extremly picky eater, so that's a big compliment, coming from me! BTW, this isn't trying to lure or suck up to all the indian myLot users here in hopes of getting many replies and good ratings...

96vidalias Thanks for your comment. I have not been active on Mylot for a long time now, but they did let me know you had commented. It's funny how people get so used to the way that they like their food, they don't even think that other people won't want it. It's not...

96vidalias The person above is not responding at all, but is a notorious cut-and-paster. You notice there is no personal content, no real answer to the question- Do You Like Indian Food? The information is all copied, probably not even read, and he didn't bother to...

If you found poison ivy growing on the outside of one of your windows, how would you remove it? The only relative who isn't allergic to it lives very far away.

96vidalias I didn't know what it looked like for years and I hate to think how many times I must have pulled it up with other weeds. The runners look like a dead brown stem and then they will send out leaves and roots. It's an especially sneaky weed.

Every time I log on, I see that at least two people have looked at my profile that day, I'm sure some of you have many more. However, they are not reading my discussions, and I think I have a little something for every taste- lots...

96vidalias Thanks for your response. If you have several active discussions it would be hard to tell that people are viewing your profile and not commenting, but that's when I notice it. (When I don't have any new comments.) I just wonder how they get to the profile...

Romantically, I mean. There was a person I had a crush on at work. A lot of eye contact and laughing together and even breaking into dance (you had to be there to understand that one) but nothing ever spoken. Then one day, I...

96vidalias Yes, that last sentence really says it all! A friend pointed out that going into each new relationship you have a longer list of things you aren't going to put up with, because X did that.

96vidalias If I were over reacting, I would have made a citizen's arrest! To me, it did show his attitude- the world is his garbage can. I think that small thing made me notice other things I didn't like about him. Hasn't that ever happened to you?

96vidalias I have a tip I didn't see mentioned yet. After putting on the long sleeves, etc., I put plastic bags over my gloves and some masking tape to hold them in place. That keeps the gloves from being contaminated. Everything else except the shoes can go in the wash....

96vidalias Advertising is a world of its own. I remember the discussions years ago about "Winston takes good like a cigarette should" and "Us Taryton smokers would rather fight than switch." I wonder if I am the only person who cringes when an ad says, "It works as good...

96vidalias I can't throw you any business, but I enjoyed your example from the German menu. If you are not already familiar with it, I know that you would enjoy the site engrish.com It was originally just from Japanese but then people sent in things they have seen from...

96vidalias My brother and I are not close. It isn't that we don't like each other, but he lives in a different state and is busy with work. Our mother was the glue that held the family together, and since she died (six years ago) we just don't talk much.

96vidalias A friend of mine says that she likes to start a load of laundry going, and then it runs by itself and she can think about what she needs to do, but she is already getting something done. Ever since then, I like to think of it that way too.

96vidalias Yes, once I am doing something I can keep on with it, but the hard part is getting started. At the end of the day I try to take stock of what I have done, and some days I am struggling to have something to put on my mental checklist. And I know what you...

96vidalias We didn't have a rule like that but it sounds like a good way to handle it. After the difficult teen years, I didn't start being affectionate with my parents again until I was thirty or so. Then I started thinking, each time could be the last time I will ever...

I know what photo I will NOT be using as my avatar. Today I went to get my driver's license renewed with a new photo. My old ID photo didn't look like me and I didn't like it. The new one is worse- it does look like me. At...

96vidalias I accepted as soon as I saw it, it just takes me awhile! While I am waiting for my page to show me what I just posted, you have already read it and written a reply and posted it. Maybe the DMV just likes to do things for you because you are so cute. Oh,...

96vidalias It wasn't just the Jetsons. If you ever catch old films on TCM where they are showing what the houses of the future will be, some of it looks silly now but other things you wonder what happened to that? The one thing they didn't predict was anything like the...

When I go into someone else's bathroom, I never look in their medicine cabinet or snoop through their stuff. I'm afraid I will find out things that I don't want to know. But some people say they figure anything in there is fair...

96vidalias Thank you very much! I have been discouraged with Mylot lately, because people are not reading my discussions and the majority don't seem to check back and answer replies. It's hard to get a real discussion going. Also my computer is very slow and sometimes it...
