Know it all.

Bhem @JustBhem (70555) • Davao, Philippines 15 Jul 18

I'm not smart and I'm not even the brightest. And I know for sure I'm not perfect. I ask if there are things that confuse me and I'm not trying to be smart. Whatever my understanding is, I stand for it. But there are people...

ActiveMind You make a great point. I would like to point out a perspective that may not be overly cheerful, but I do feel applies. Unfortunately, this is the internet. Everywhere you go there will be someone who has something negative or hurtful to say. Personally, I...

Should mental health facilities be held responsible for any deaths occurring at the facility?

Starmaiden @Starmaiden (9311) • Canada 15 Jul 18

My daughter called me today. She is grieving the loss of a friend. My daughter lives in a group home about 600 kms from me and the girl who passed on lived in a mental rehab facility in the same city as my daughter. They knew each...

ActiveMind Wow. This is growing problem in Canada (I’ve had issues myself with these types of “professionals”). It seems we’re unable to hold our healthcare professionals responsible for anything. This disgusts me because by no means should anyone be working there as...

Good Morning! Now What to Have for Breakfast?

L. Jenkinson @MarymargII (12422) • Toronto, Ontario 4 Jul 18

I didn't go out in the high, humid temps for two days and so I wasn't able to pick up more cereal. I also discovered the bread I liked for breakfast was all gone. Help! It was way too hot for oatmeal and I was even out of honey...

ActiveMind Growing up I would make two slices of toast, then put a slice of cheese between them and stick it in the microwave for 15 seconds. I wasn’t allowed to use the stove, so it was my version of grilled cheese for breakfast . If you do get more cereal, something...

Kelli M @spiderdust (14760) • San Jose, California 14 Jul 18

maxen07 @maxen07 (882) • Philippines 28 Apr 16

My latest sketch

shaloo walia @swalia (1386) • India 14 Apr 17

Last night I made a sketch of Lord Shiva. It was after a couple of days that I made a sketch. I think it came up really well. Sketching is my latest passion and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

ActiveMind I am not familiar with Lord Shiva so I looked him up on Google. The picture that came up looked very similar, though the one on Google could probably use a healthier diet, as this one definitely looks more attractive to the ladies. I like the technique you...

ActiveMind It's really good. How old is she? Her attention to detail in her work is very prominent. I was never very good at drawing, and did not draw with this level of calculated detail until I was about 12.

Samantha Owen @Samanthaowen1991 (57) • United Kingdom 13 Apr 17

ActiveMind Good information. I feel like starting discussions about removed discussions could wind up starting a ruckus, and perhaps heated arguments with Myloter members who try to explain to someone why something wasn't allowed.
