Maybe I am wrong to be offended, but the more I think about it, the more it bothers me. I may be reading a little more in to this but I really can't help it. I know that my daughter's b/f is young and I try to remind myself of...

Jane Lane That's most unfortunate. You do tend to go right to the raising but I guess it's not really a fair assumption since as you said, the parents were quite polite. I guess all you can do now is try to educate your daughter about the type of partner she deserves...

Hello Mylotters, I am a USA citizen currently studying in the UK under a tier 4 student visa. Upon completion of my masters degree, I would like to stay in the UK and work. I know I will need another visa to do so once my...

Jane Lane Thank you for your response. My university is actually quite informed at placing International students so I think I should utilize their services. I was just curious if I went about it myself-how difficult it might be and what my options were as I was...

Hi you guys..=] I have something that I need to improve, my self esteem.. I'm not feeling confident at all and one of my friends told me that she sense that I don't have confidence in myself and I need to work on it and improve...

Jane Lane You don't have to necessarily pay for a class. You could learn a language for example for free online or you could take a free class--many community centers off them. Or, you could join a book club or a discussion group. Meeting new people and expanding your...

My partner and I just spend this past Christmas in Zurich, Switzerland. It was breathtaking but we were shocked to find out how expensive it was! We actually found out it is currently the most expensive city in the world! We...

Jane Lane Access to a kitchen was definitely something my partner and I were missing and craving on our trip! We had to get creative-- sandwiches, putting cereal in the ice containers from the hotel, etc. But having a kitchen is a great way to save money as it's easy...

Hello myLotters! Me and my partner of 7 months just spent a week with my mother as we returned from our Christmas trip to Switzerland. This is my first really significant relationship (as I've not considered myself mature...

Jane Lane If your mother has her own personal problems effecting her mood and life, it's justified and maybe your partner just isn't aware of them or how they effect her and so your partner takes them personally. If they both don't dislike one another than I'm sure it...

My partner and I are pretty big movie buffs in general and within that, we host an appreciation for horror flicks. Tonight, we watched Case 39 which was a film starring a young, adorable ten year old girl who happened to be...

Jane Lane Thank you for your response but I was actually asking why children are so scary for adults in horror films since they are otherwise cute. I didn't mean for the question to be confusing. I apologize if it didn't make sense!

Jane Lane It's all about balance, really. I always say: 'There is always someone worse off and better off than you'. It's almost a guarantee. So you should spend less time focusing on other people and more time focusing on yourself, your relationships, your work,...

I read a discussion just now that triggered the idea of my own discussion. Some people really have a very bad time going to a large party where he or she does not know anyone.I know this for myself as I freeze up at a large...

Jane Lane I agree with bagarad. Neither preference is bad or better than the other. It's just that- a preference. But I agree that despite how understanding we are, if something is intrinsic to our personality, such as the extrovertive quality of wanting or needing to...

I am a huge horror fan (of the more thriller/suspense/horror variety not Gore) but I think it's really difficult to come across truly terrifying films. Often they are lame and predictable or gratuitously violent. So come on fellow...

Jane Lane I agree with you that the psychological aspect of combining horror and reality makes it all the more scary. And I'm familiar with IMDB and agree it is a great resource. Thanks!

Jane Lane I've heard of couchsurfing but was always skeptical because I didn't know about the validity of the site and the caliber of people you'd be staying with. Seems like a good way to walk into a bad situation. But as you say, there are responses on the site about...

Jane Lane I think that's a great tip! Social media has bridged the gap for overseas contact. I too have met many people on various social media websites and if I were ever to travel to their countries- they would be an excellent resource as people who live there are the...

Jane Lane Yeah, she is so wicked and I am pretty happy she died but I don't think it made for the most solid ending. I thought maybe the audience was meant to think she was dead but then really she lived... and maybe ended up as case 40 on Renee Zelwegger's desk but I...

Jane Lane I actually really agree. I think it's about the unexpected. But more than that, children pretty much universally represent innocence, beauty, hope and so to have them be possessed or evil in opposition is truly terrifying. I also read that an adults worst fear...

Jane Lane Wow, what a great response chalk full of tips! Youth hostels are always a great alternative to hotels! I agree that the exchange rate at the airport is outrageous and it's ideal to find an alternative to that. I never thought of borrowing a tour...

Jane Lane Yes I find the best tactic is trying to maintain a clean home instead of letting things pile up whether it be dishes, laundry etc. Obviously with other responsibilities, this is not always the easiest tactic to execute but striving definitely helps maintain a...
