foursox212 @foursox212 (282) • United States 23 Jun 09

For those that hate the direction this country has been going, who would you like to see run for office against Obama??

Jangalajim I'd say, let's wait and see what happens in the next two years. Let's wait and see what transpires from now to then. President Obama seems to be a thoughtful type person who is trying to get people to work together and iron out differences. The country and the...

Who's the Bigger Threat, Iran or North Korea?

sierras236 @sierras236 (2739) • United States 19 Jun 09

Who do you think is the bigger threat at the moment? Does anyone else think its scary that Biden's one prediction has actually come true? I think it is North Korea at the moment since Iran is busy with all the protests. I...

Jangalajim I'm not so sure either is a real threat. When was the last time the US was attacked in a full scale invasion? War of 1812, I believe was the last time a full scale invasion of the US from another country occured. I've noticed that democratic governments...

Jangalajim Have you ever heard of the term sword rattler. Well, he's either trying to gain the attention of other countries or else he's trying to make himself look good for the people in the No. Korean government that keep him in power. So, I just consider him a sword...

Am I speaking to the REAL you?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 28 Jun 08

I don't like to share too much personal information when I'm talking on the net. I don't tell fibs, but sometimes I avoid going into too much detail. How about you? Is the person I'm reading about here on myLot or elsewhere...

Jangalajim I've heard it remarked and It appears true that just what "the real you" is, it will never be known. That is because we are all the sum total of our experiences. Attitudes and ways of handling people in life tend as you gain more experience. Or, from another...

If jokes are off-limits on MyLot, then why is there a humor section?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 26 Jun 08

I was just browsing the various categories and found the Humor interest forum on MyLot. Funny thing. I thought that posting jokes was against TOS. I guess the two things are different. What do you think about this? If...

Jangalajim I suppose some jokes can be offensive and it's hard to determine if a joke would offend someone. Only the person hearing the joke can determine if it's offensive. So, what do you do, decide what's offensive or just stay away from joke telling totally.

I hate bananas, they are very displeasing to eat. Many people enjoy this sweet fruit, me on the other hand hates them. I cant stand the smell , the texture, seeing my family put it in their cereal, or peanut butter sandwhichs. If...

Jangalajim I sometimes like bananas, especially on a hot day. But, here's a strange one. A man from Jamaica told me that bananas are not people food in Jamaica. Anybody form Jamaica care to tell me if this is true.

Do you eat the apple peel? Do you always peel fruit before eating?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 25 Jun 08

I love to eat apples. Most times, I wash the apple or pear thoroughly and then cut into pieces. I eat the fruit slice, peel and all. I've heard that the most nutritious part of an apple is the peel. So I never pass up the...

Jangalajim Generally, I eat the whole thing and sometimes I'm tempted to eat the core and seeds which you would do if you mixed it in a blender. I'm too lazy to peel the skin off.

Procrastination is KILLING me!

shewolf52002 @shewolf52002 (1214) • United States 26 Jun 08

Not really but some days it seems that way. This is a bad habit that plagued me for years, what are some innovative ideas for breaking this nasty habit? "Hi, my name is Brenda and I am a procrastinator"

3 responses

Jangalajim Well, I found the best way to end procrasination is to put off handling it until you handle everything else. Funny, but I've done that and it works. You get a lot of things done but then you won't have time to deal with the procrastination if you get real...

Legs or Arms?

lexridley @lexridley (231) • Tokelau 2 Oct 07

Which would you rather lose if you had to - your legs or your arms?

Jangalajim well, without legs you can't walk anywhere unless you learn to walk on you hands with your head pointed downward. But, of course, you could always be in a wheel chair and make the wheels do you walking. But, if no arms i would be hard to use the internet. Hope...

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 25 Jun 08

Jangalajim Well, the way I see it, no matter one's religion, that religion has a wide arrary of personalities. In every way of life, there are extremists, and the main body of believers don't even like to associate with the extrmists because they won't listen to your...

Why do you think more kids are turning to crime?

tanniebabe78 @tanniebabe78 (2934) • United States 19 Jun 08

I know this is so controversial but I just sit here and wonder all the time about that. How is it that kids have gotten to this point? They never used to be like this. Even though they got regular strappings and beatings for minor...

Jangalajim Well, I suppose the best way of thanking someone who helped you or gave you good advice would be to use what you've learned from that experience down the road sometime with someone else. Most people, are thanked by the look in the eyes of the person being...

Jangalajim I have seen people say I'm sorry for things that was not their fault. Accidents do happen. If someone steps on my foot, I don't even give it a second thought. There are often distractions and stuff like that. Sometimes, however, just a surprised look on your...

Did you notice at the store: Same price, less in package?

jonesy123 @jonesy123 (3948) • United States 22 Jun 08

I heard a report a couple of days ago on the Today show where they showed that manufacturers keep product prices the same by putting less in the package. Some packages are still the same size, some are a miniscule amount smaller....

Jangalajim I haven't really been noticing but I've been wondering if that would be done. Because of the gas price going up, everybody else has to charge more for their services. It's just a fact of life. Maybe a tiny reduction in the amount in a box would be good for...

What product that require petroleum are you ceasing to use?

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 22 Jun 08

In this time of rising fuel costs folks are attempting to conserve gas. However there are lots of products that have petroleum as an ingredient. Seems we should try to cease use of these products as well! Some examples of products...

What is the LOWEST price you can remember for Gas?

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 22 Jun 08

With all the recent discussions about the high gas prices, it got me to thinking about the lowest I've ever paid for gas. 79 cents a gallons comes to mind from about 10-12 years ago. Surely it was even cheaper than that 25-30...

Jangalajim In 1967 when I got out of high school it was about 20 cents a gallon. Boy have things chanced. Everything was cheaper then. In fact just about anyone could, if they wanted to, fix their own cars in their back yard. But, no more. Cars are just too complicated...

newtondak @newtondak (3946) • United States 20 Jun 08

I drove into town to pick up some groceries and noticed that gas is down to $3.81 today. It has previously been $3.89 and above. Has anyone else noticed any drop in gas prices in their areas?

Jangalajim Well, good news. I just checked one of the web sites where commuters leave daily gas station prices around town. It is down a bit. It should be going down for the rest of the summer. This is the time of year prices ususally fall at a slow pace. The oil...
