Big Gifts

Amber @AmbiePam (92865) • United States 2 Aug 10

What is the biggest gift you've ever gotten? More along the lines of how much it costs, than the actual size, although I think that would be interesting too. So what is the most expensive gift you've ever gotten, but also the...

LadySam52 Over the 20 years of my marriage, my biggest gifts have come from my husband. When I agreed to marry him, he gave me a 1.38ct fancy diamond set in an 18k ring with another 1.30ct diamonds. Since then, he has given me a 2.87ct diamond and several Cadillacs...

LadySam52 I've certainly seen people like this at the nursing home where I worked for more than a year. I responded with empathy. That's about all you can do. You're not going to change her or her mind about what and how she wants everything. In my experience, other...

LadySam52 I'll never forget what my school-teacher Daddy told me a kiss was when I was a little girl: A kiss is an upper persuasion to a lower invasion. Most of the boys in his high school Ag classes remember it, too. :-)

Do you look your age?

bluemoonpavilion @bluemoonpavilion (4658) • Singapore 7 Jul 10

This is not a trick to lure you into telling me your age! I have a friend who looks very young for his age. He's actually the same age as me but we always said jokingly, 10 years ago, we look like classmates, now...

LadySam52 Hi Bluemoon. I guess I would have to say that I look at least a little younger than I am. When I am with my daughters, they are asked (by people who don't know me) if I am their sister. When I went to a club with my husband of, now, 20 years (a few years...

Mourning the loss of a child

DatRastaMan71 @DatRastaMan71 (9) • Canada 18 Jun 10

LadySam52 Hi RastaMan. I am so sorry for your loss. I know things are really hard for you and your wife right now, but, as my sister always tells me: when things are bad turn TO each other, not ON each other. Maybe I can help put this in perspective for you. When a...

LadySam52 Welcome to myLot, Bhabes. I'm a fan of Bejeweled Blitz. Most of my friends and some family members play it to, so we challenge each other to make the highest score. Sometimes, it's hard to get to the top in just a minute. Then, sometimes, the minute is up and...

Fondest Memories

dorannmwin @dorannmwin (36392) • United States 18 Jun 10

With Father's Day being this weekend, I find that I am thinking more about my father than I usually do. I lost my father when I was nearly fifteen years old. So, I'm unable to give my father a father's day present. Instead, I...

LadySam52 dorannmwin I could write a book about all the fond memories I have of my father. He passed away on 10/18/1987 and not many days go by without me either thinking about him or talking with someone about him. He was a school teacher and I attended the school...

Would someone not saying "hi" back to you ruin your day?

swetashah @swetashah (345) • United States 17 Jun 10

A colleague of mine from work definitely easily get upset if someone not saying "hi" back to him. Everyday morning at work, he might go to the break room and get his coffee. Along his way back to our department, he might bump into...

LadySam52 Whether or not someone responds when one speaks is a matter of personal choice. I was reared by a father who taught my sisters and me that unless you slept in the same bed with anyone, you should always speak the first time you see them on any given day. I've...

Do you believe in disciplining your kids?

takie23 @takie23 (142) 18 Jun 10

Do you believe in disciplining your kids, or you'd rather prefer they have free will in most thing they do? If you do believe in discipline, what is your method of disciplining?

LadySam52 Takie, like a previous poster, I am now a grandmother. I did believe in discipline when my children were little and when my grandchildren are with me, they, too, will be disciplined. Sometimes, with my own children, the discipline could be time outs, getting...

LadySam52 I have lots of those snails at my house, too. I've never thought of eating them. I just wanted them gone. I have read (in a gardening book) that a little beer in a jar lid will entice them and they cannot escape from the lid. Just this spring, one of my...

zsarhea @zsarhea (302) • Austria 7 Jun 10

when u forgive is that mean that u forget what they did?does it really work?

zsarhea @zsarhea (302) • Austria 7 Jun 10

When someone tell us to forgive them we usually do but we never forget what they did specially if its too painful right?Express how you feel towards this topic guys.

LadySam52 In my opinion, forgiving is an act of faith. You have to believe that you no longer hold the offense against the object of the forgiveness. Sometimes, it takes a while for it to be real and forgetting may not ever happen. Forgiveness does not, necessarily,...

What's the Story Behind Your Name?

blindmoongoddess @blindmoongoddess (426) • Philippines 3 Jun 10

My given names are "Diane" and "Cecilia." I was named after the moon goddess Diana, because I was born on a Monday, the moon's day. I was also named after St. Cecilia, the patroness of musicians, because my mother and my father...
