A female teacher separates a part of her salary to spend for the school needs of her less fortunate students. She buys them notebooks, pens and other necessary materials in school for them to cope up with learning. Her co-teacher...

Essie119 If I had the money to help out the students then I would do all that I could. Of course what she is doing will help the students. Even a child knows if everyone else has pencils and paper and they don't. Sometimes parents are just not able to meet these needs....

Posts that are Considered to be Mature Content

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 10 Oct 08

I recently posted a discussion about "Army of Women", which is about finding a cure for Bre@st Cancer. One of the tags included not by me was "mature content." The word bre@st shouldn't be considered mature content. It is a part...

Essie119 They should be considered a normal part of life - after all every mammel in the world has these glands. Unfortunately they are considered here (and in general to be honest) to be mainly for turning men on. Every discussion site I'm on has been discussing this...

Essie119 I always make my own cards. Scrapbooking materials work wonderfully. I use cardstock - the 8 1/2 x 11 can be cut in half to make two nice sized cards. I get a lot of ideas out of magazines, but there are a lot of websites. Someone else here on mylot gave me...

Simple Christmas Project for the Kids

thebohemianheart @thebohemianheart (8827) • United States 30 Sep 08

Young mothers, and all those who are in charge of young children, are you always looking for ways to keep those little cuties busy? When my kids were around 2 and 4, I made some salt dough and shaped some Christmas ornaments and...

Essie119 This sounds like a really fun thing to do with my kids. They LOVE to paint and playdough is their favorite thing. I know their grandparents (and their Mommy) would be so proud to hang their efforts on the Christmas tree. I let them help with some of my crafts,...

Essie119 I've got a question for you. How do you adhere the little metal embellishments. I have some really cute ones,but they are so little that I have no idea how to use them. I want to put them on cards as they aren't suited to the style of pages that I tend to...

Dad's home, we're in trouble now!

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 30 Sep 08

Is this what happens in your house? It usually does in mine. My husband gets home right around bedtime everynight. And usually as he's coming in, I'm completely exasperated and fed up with the kids playing around when they should...

Essie119 My kids are really young, so we don't have any issues like this. They sometimes drive me crazy, but I figure that that's just life with small children. I never want my children to fear their father (respect, yes - fear, no) so I hope I never tell them "Wait...

trisha_nava82 @trisha_nava82 (1379) • United States 30 Sep 08

Where if your significant other or spouse wanted to be with someone outside of the relationship, but still be with you. Would you be ok with that. Honestly, I would never be open to that. Because first of all I don't like to...

Essie119 This is something that would destroy my realtionship. Jealousy aside, for the sake of my health and my emotional wellbeing I couldn't allow this. I also believe that it is morally reprehensible. I know someone who is in an open marriage, and I now find it kind...

greenline @greenline (14838) • Canada 30 Sep 08

People have games that they like most and dislike most. The game I dislike most is "ice hockey". To me , that's not a game at all , people pushing and fighting all the time, nothing enjoyable. How about you ? Which is the game you...

Essie119 Well, I really like ice hockey. I think it's a requirement if you live in Canada. The game that I don't enjoy watching is Rugby. I think that the problem is that I don't understand the whole thing, but it just seems like extreme violence. My...

Essie119 I haven't lived at home for many, many years, but I am still really close to my parents. I talk to them at least once each week, and they are on my friends list on Facebook! They live 2.5 hours away so we don't see as much of each other as we would like, but...

Essie119 There are two reality shows that I like to watch - Survivor (first few episodes before everyone starts to annoy me) and Amazing Race. I wouldn't last on Survivor because there are too many lazy people on the teams who would annoy me and I'd have to say...

Essie119 Every once in a while I find an error in a book, but it's pretty rare. Usually it's a case of one word having a couple of spellings so it goes through the spell check without being flagged. For example - there; their; they're. I just roll my eyes at the error...

Essie119 I'm a tea drinker. I usually go through a whole pot all by myself every day. When it gets too cold I just throw it in the microwave. I really don't like coffee. I used to drink it to be polite, but I really don't like the taste and no one seems to be offended...

Essie119 I think that a sense of humour is essencial when you have kids. I don't usually get too angry with them, but they do try my patience a lot! The older two are almost 17 months apart on age and they get into a lot of mischief together. I get together with my...

When you moved out, did your parents change your room?

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 24 Sep 08

When I moved out of my parents house, they didn't touch my room. When I cam home - even years after I moved out - I cam home to a room that was exactly how I left it the time before. This still amazes my husband to this day (we...

Essie119 While I was in College the room stayed the same because I came home a lot. After I finished my education and moved away, the room became fair game. I think my sister claimed it next, and then after everyone moved, Dad turned it into a study. Now, my parents...
