Walmart has taken over the world!

KatieS @KatieS (503) • United States 11 Sep 07

A few days ago we watched a documentary on Walmart. It was so sad. When the supercenter's came in, they shut down a lot of family businesses and they treat their employees really bad. Bad wages, bad health insurance coverage, bad...

KatieS I could be off for one or two days and not mind going back. But I've been off for 6 months and even though I'm looking for a job, I dread going back to work. I've enjoyed being at home and keeping my house in order. Now it scares me to think of how...

Have you ever locked your keys in your car?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 23 Aug 07

If yes, how many times had it happened to you? What were the circumstances. Did people tease you about it afterwards? I think I've done it 3 or 4 times in my life. Most recently, it was about a year ago at a softball...

KatieS I've done it so many times, it's pathetic. But the last time was many years ago. A few years ago my husband left his keys in the car at work, someone took his car and dumped it in a mine shaft, 28 feet deep. Since then, I have this habit of getting out of the...

KatieS My mom used to make us breakfast before school every morning, also saying it was most important. Now, I don't eat breakfast much, seems to make me hungrier throughout the day. I usually have a small lunch and eat a good dinner.

KatieS Yeah, it's real confusing here. Just when I think I'm doing real good, I'm not. I've been avoiding myLot a little lately because of a few dissapointments, the post count and monetary incentives being the biggest.

My son just got a hand-me-down Furby from my nephew. I can't get the darn Furby to do anything, but my son was getting it to sign and say all sorts of things. (And he's only 14 months old! LOL) Anyway, I was under the impression...

KatieS With my family, they come to town and we try to pay, since they've come a long way to visit. However, sometimes we don't get to and it's OK with me. But when we go out to eat with my in-laws, it's usually the one who suggests the outing that pays the tab.
