The internet was broken

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 15 Sep 12

at my house anyway. I was offline for over four days before the cable guy came and fixed it. I learned that I really enjoy reading when the house is quiet and my pets asleep by my side. I learned that TV is really horrible...

I hate scare tactics in campaigns

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 15 Sep 12

I received an email that was a recording of a telephone conversation between a supposed neurosurgeon and a radio DJ. This caller tells the DJ that Obama's new health care bill will not allow him to operate on patients over 70 with...

Sometimes you just want sympathy, not an answer!

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 7 Sep 12

Is this a man thing? OK, anybody - tell me I'm wrong. Here's the scenario - Friends of mine are getting together an unofficial high school reunion and are going out one Friday evening. That evening I'm all kinds of stuffed up...

Ever wonder if you're doomed to be a worrier?

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 7 Sep 12

I got it good right now, I know that. I'm healthy, we don't have real money worries. But I'm stressing anyway!?! I had a full time job I hated. Last fall my Dad passed away and I paid off our mortgage with my inheritance, so I...

Am I getting older or is print just keep getting smaller?

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 1 Sep 12

I'm in my 50s thank you. It seems to me that print is just impossible to read anymore. I mean print on everything, aspirin bottles, prepared food packages, anything where you have to read instructions! I went to an eye doctor...

Ever have a visitor who hates your pets?

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 30 Aug 12

My brother is staying with us for the week to help me clean out some of the stuff I'm keeping from my parents house that I cleaned and sold this Spring. He's hardly taking anything and didn't help at all to get rid of anything but...

Your favorite dance music - 60's, 70's on up

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 29 Aug 12

My husband plays in a band and he doesn't listen to me, or the rest of the band doesn't. I'm not sure but I suggest songs that I really think will get the party going and they just smile and ignore me from what I can see. Some of...

Remember the Talking Heads or Tom Tom Club

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 29 Aug 12

Ah, the 80's. I'm wearing my Tom Tom Club T-shirt and remembering the days. If you don't remember the Tom Tom Club - they were a girl band (?) started by a woman that was in the Talking Heads. I'd go search now for her name but...

Did somebody crank up the time machine?

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 18 Aug 12

I was watching TV just now while on my treadmill and I saw this ad for Lay's potato chips with Eva Longoria in it?!? Now I really don't care about her life but wasn't she like a hot celebrity just a short time ago? Another...

Elmer Fudd hunting squirrel

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 17 Aug 12

Here's the story - we get chipmunks in our yard and my husband says they cause damage. My father, who recently passed away, fought this war with his chipmunks by making traps. The traps don't kill they just cage them. My father...

I wanna use emoticons

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 16 Aug 12

Ever feel that a comment you posted may not come across as you meant it? I wonder myself. Sometimes I could be laughing away typing, submit then reading it later I think if someone took it the wrong way. I can't wait to use...

Survey sites and "pending" earnings

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 14 Aug 12

Ever notice with some of these survey sites that you seem to have earnings pending a long time especially when you're just a few cents away from the minimum redemption amount? I've been within a dime of getting my money from two...

Did anybody else notice how warm the Atlantic is?

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 14 Aug 12

I know that there's the theory about global warming, and I also know there's a theory that global warming is a conspiracy theory. But this year when I was on vacation on the Jersey shore (Sandy Hook) and I dipped my toes in, it...

Did I get carried away with "interests"??

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 13 Aug 12

When I first signed on, and I don't remember exactly which place I read this on myLot but it advised to put in lots of interests. So I browse interests and I kept clicking away. I would see repeats, just a different photo, so I'd...

Rating comments

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 12 Aug 12

Do you guys rate comments? I read in the FAQs I think about rating comments and I always make an effort to do that. Now, I know I'm not dreaming but I'll go back into the same discussion after I rated comments and there is still a...

I need a foolproof kitchen garbage can to keep my dog away

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 12 Aug 12

I have this dog that goes into the garbage. I bet no one's ever had a dog who wouldn't do that but how do you stop it?!! He knows it's wrong, once he's done it he goes and cowers in his kennel. But he just won't stop. We're...

How do you get a dog to stop eating out of the cat box

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 10 Aug 12

Gross, right? Well that's dogs for you. I can't imagine why but I have two dogs and the big one gets his tootsie roll out of the litter box and if he drops it on the rug, the little dog and him fight over it. It really disgusts me...

Requesting a friend

Christine637 @Christine637 (358) • United States 8 Aug 12

OK I'm new, so be gentle... but I'm not sure of the actual protocol on requesting someone by my friend. I read the FAQs which pretty much just tell me how to request a friend, but not really why I would. I don't mean to sound...
