How do you feel about the writer's strike

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 14 Jan 08

The writers strike has been going on for a few months now, and we are seeing the effects - from repeats of our favorite shows to the cancelation of the Golden Globes telecast to an influx of reality tv. I support the writer's...

Have you ever worked with someone who was not ashamed to pass gas?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 14 Jan 08

I've always worked in an office with all kinds of characters. I guess you could call me a "cube dweller." Everyone has their own ways of thinking about things, but I had thought most people were on the same page when it came to...

What would you do if....

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 6 Jan 08

Normally I'm a very generous person. If someone is in need and I can help, I will. So here's the situation. At my local Walgreens, there has been a man hanging out in the parking lot asking patrons for money. Every time a car...

What is the difference between a right and a privilege?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 5 Jan 08

OK, here I go again, openning up a messy can of worms. Every since a certain post a few days ago concerning topless women, I've been thinking about the difference between a right and a privilege. There's a blurry line between...

What are some things you should never do at work?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 4 Jan 08

There are a lot of things that it would be best if we didn't do at work, but what are some things we should never do? There are the obvious things like punching someone or cussing someone out, and I would add blaming someone else...

Have you every speed dated?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 4 Jan 08

I've seen several shows that depict speed dating and wonder if it is real. I'm pretty sure there are not speed dating services in my town. I don't know if I would do it even if it was offered. Have you ever speed dated or would...

Did you or someone you know meet your spouse/significant other online?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 4 Jan 08

I have two friends that met their current spouses online on message boards? I know that match.com and eharmony are popular, so I would like to eliminate them. Do you know anyone who found love from being a member of a message...

Is it rude to talk on a cell phone in a public place?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 3 Jan 08

I think it is. I was in the grocery store looking through the frozen food dinners when I suddenly heard a male voice behind me yell, "hey!" I almost jumped out of my shoes thinking the guy was talking to me. I turned and he was...

Will you be going to a Supernatural convention in 2008?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 3 Jan 08

I was not able to attend any of the conventions in 2007 and am so jealous of those who were able to go. I'm going to try my hardest to make it to the Creation Con in November. Hopefully, both Jensen and Jerad will both be there.

Do you think this season of Supernatural is as good as the first two?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 3 Jan 08

I love the show, but this season does not seem to be as good as the first two. The writing is sloppy and lazy. Dean is not as likable because he is so uncaring about the fact he's going to hell. What do you think?

If an 18 yrs old can fight a war, why can't he drink alcohol?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 3 Jan 08

In the U.S. the legal age for drinking alcohol is 21, yet at 18 years old a person is considered an adult and therefor can join the army and possibly get killed in Iraq. That doesn't make sense to me. If they are old enough to...

Who's responsible for a child's obesity?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 3 Jan 08

I have a feeling this might be a touchy subject, but here goes any way. If a child, say 16 years or younger is overweight, who is responsible for that? I chose 16 years, because generally in the U.S. people under 16 are not...

What makes a discussion a "top discussion"?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 31 Dec 07

How does a discussion qualify as part of "today's top discussions?" I've noticed that sometimes there are discussions there that only have one response so it can't be the number of people who respond. Does any one know what the...

When did you get your first MP3 Player?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 31 Dec 07

I'm ashamed to admit that I got my very first MP3 player for Christmas. It's an iPod shuffle and I LOVE it! Now, those of you under 20 probably won't understand what took me so long or why I'm excited, but that's ok. I have a...

How do you keep up with all of the posts and responses?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 30 Dec 07

I'm afraid I'm appearing rude by not responding to every response I get for a discussion I post. I don't want to be rude, and I truly read every response and am greatful for every response, but sometimes a discussion will get so...

The First Step in Recovery is admitting...I'm an Internet JUNKIE!

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 30 Dec 07

I just responded to another post saying that I am on the internet an average of 12 hours a day. When I thought about it, that freaked me out! I obviously don't have a life. But, I didn't differentiate between week days and...

MyLot RSS Feeds

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 29 Dec 07

I don't realy understand how RSS feeds work and whether I would want to use them. If I'm not mistaken, RSS would make my posts available to other websites? Is anyone using the RSS feed and what is the benefit? Thanks!

Would anyone like to have an actual discussion/conversation?

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 29 Dec 07

I'm new to MyLot and I understand the reasons for the infinite number of "what's your favorite color" posts and "I like chicken, what do you think" posts, but I would like to find people who want to pick a topic and have an actual...

Looking Forward to 2008, Part 2

JoyceRenee @JoyceRenee (89) • United States 29 Dec 07

So, I've gotten the whole "dieting" thing in hand in my last post (right), but what about the rest? Quitting smoking is going to be tough because I really like to smoke. I hate the smell and the fact that it causes health...
