Eternal Reefs

Sharon @simone10 (54187) • Louisville, Kentucky 2 Dec 15

A couple of years ago, I was watching a special on TV. It was about how the ocean reefs were dying and how two friends came up with a unique way to save the reefs and also give people a final resting place. The reefs are made...

MoonHowler17 For someone who wants to be cremated, the reef sounds a lovely idea - much better than being in a dusty urn on the mantle piece. I want to be buried so my previous beloved dog, who is in an urn, can be buried with me. My little sister was buried. When I am in...

Sharon @simone10 (54187) • Louisville, Kentucky 4 Dec 15

I have often wondered what the different time zones are for mylotters. I know that for some people, it is morning here and it is evening where they are. I thought it would be interesting for everyone to tell what the current...

I Did It Again

Four Walls @FourWalls (68884) • United States 26 Nov 15

Every now and then I make a mistake, for which I later pay dearly. Today I did it again. I didn't have any caffeine. I'm not a caffeine junkie, per se. Still, if I avoid it for more than 24 hours I get a nasty "caffeine...

Do Manners Really Matter?

ashuli @ashuli (1196) • India 11 Oct 15

I think so! manners or say good manners are really very important but nowadays we see less of them. Being courteous or saying things like "Thank You", "Please", "Sorry" etc are sometimes considered unimportant by...

MoonHowler17 I totally agree. Rather than being the fault of the current "younger generation", I think the lack of manners is because they haven't been taught by THEIR parents. It shows in adults who allow their kids to occupy a seat on trains, buses etc with the "I paid...

Please, if you're going to flood me with 'suggestions', make them REALLY special

Boingboing @boiboing (13153) • Northampton, England 19 Oct 15

I don't like the way that the 'suggestions' function is used here. It's one of the few things at Bubblews that was better than at Mylot. I didn't mind people suggesting other people's posts that they thought were really good but I...

House or Apartment?

buddha3 @buddha3 (1026) • India 7 Oct 15

My parents and I have always preferred to live in a house. Even when we didn't have our own house, we used to rent independent houses. We have never liked the concept of apartments where neither the roof is yours nor the floor!...

Glass bridge in China

Roui Ruiz @Ragnarok8 (196) • Davao, Philippines 3 Oct 15

Another fascinating tourist destination that can be found in China with 980 feet long, 600 feet high! terrifying, isn't it? The idea of walking across glass that very high up in the air is certainly terrifying. Although the...

bonnie @bunnybon7 (50973) • Holiday, Florida 6 Oct 15

Should Male Staff Inspect Ladies’ Lavatories?

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44998) • Preston, England 25 Sep 15

I was at Manchester Central Library recently when security staff decided to do a ‘routine’ inspection of the ladies’ lavatories. I was using a computer located close to the lavatories. A male security guard pounded on the door to...

MoonHowler17 I don't object to male cleaners cleaning ladies facilities since women use cubicles. However, I agree with @Rollo1. Some manners and asking how many are inside before entering is more acceptable behaviour.

MoonHowler17 I am no scientific genius but my first thought is that planets would not be able to stay in their orbit if they were not round. Although, they are not perfectly so. Space rocks and meteorites that fall to Earth possibly do so because of their shape. Perhaps...

Do you think age difference is important when dating?

Flippish @flippish2014 (870) • Quezon City, Philippines 19 Sep 15

I think age doesn't matter in relationship. The important thing they can understand and love each other truthfully. Relationship is more than age, race, etc.

MoonHowler17 Race certainly doesn't matter as long as you respect each others beliefs. Whether age matters or not, I think comes down to whether you have things in common. After the heady days of early romance, there has to be something beyond that that bonds and binds two...
