Rehydration: Is this normal?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 2 Jun 12

As I endless berate myself about not drinking enough water during the day, I have decided to try and do something about it. I have decided to try and drink a glass of water each time I remember, and to jog my memory I have placed...

NoWayRo I drink like a camel , 3-4 liters every day. One of my co-workers said that half of my day is wasted at the water cooler and the other half at the toilet (which is not fair, because I only go to the water cooler twice, to fill an entire bottle......

Marrying Again

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 23 May 12

A friend of mine has just become engaged to be married. When he and his girlfriend go ahead he will become her FIFTH husband. What do you think of this serial marrying? It's not a case that her previous partners have died or...

NoWayRo If this is less traumatic for her than to be single, or stay in a relationship without being married, I'd say she's doing the right thing. I know a man who's been married 6 times - AND had a child with each of the wives. You'd think it's a messed up family -...

Another microwave disaster !

topffer @topffer (42156) • France 23 May 12

I wanted to put some lemon curd on my bread for breakfast and I tried a microwave recipe, advertised as "it can't be any more simple". Maybe, but at the end it was not lemon curd but a sort of omelet just good to go to the garbage...

NoWayRo Cooked mobile gadgets are absolutely awesome. You know how it goes, don't try it at home and so on - but really, it's better than recycling them. Sorry to hear about your breakfast. I love my microwave, but I never use it to cook anything - only to heat...

Why Can't Soccer Players Have The Same Dedication As Tennis Stars?

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 20 Feb 12

Tonight was a case in point. Settled down to watch Carlisle United play Brentford away (on telly) and my team Carlisle lost 4-0. To say it was an embarrassing, lack-lustre display is an understatement. Now, one...

NoWayRo I think we hear more talking of "raw talent" in soccer than in other sport. They rely too much on it, instead of training and practicing their skills. We have a saying over here, it became a cliche regarding young (and old) players: "he's an eternal hope" (was...

End of BTJunkie!

damned_dle @damned_dle (3942) • Philippines 9 Feb 12

I just checked their site and found this: 2005 - 2012 This is the end of the line my friends. The decision does not come easy, but we've decided to voluntarily shut down. We've been fighting for years for your right to...

NoWayRo It was a good site, and I will surely miss it. I expect to see more and more similar sites going down in the next months. There's not much we can do. I've been to every protest organized in my town, and I've signed every petition I could find, but I don't...

Donkey work only...

Abhijit Bangal @abhi_bangal (5518) • Ahmednagar, India 5 Feb 12

I think, I am not working smart, but there's a lot of donkey work involved here. I know I am improving as an online writer after being two years here. When I look back at articles two years old, even I don't wish to read them, let...

NoWayRo I think you should give iwriter a chance. There have been a lot of discussions about it recently, and you can see that many people are pleased with it. I've done a little work there - not much, haven't had a lot of time in the recent months. I can say it's a...

Dancing With The Devil?

Do you believe that heavy metal music is connected to Satanism?

4 responses

NoWayRo There is a superficial connection, mostly at the level of image and lyrics. Many of the older heavy metal bands used to have lyrics with satanic themes, same as many rappers sang about money and guns. It was mostly for the show and for selling more records, I...

Chicken Killers

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 6 Feb 12

Our neighbour, for some unfathomable reason, decided to let his chickens free range with no supervision by the side of the road leading to our house the other day. One of our dogs, who was walking with friends of ours, grabbed a...

NoWayRo I don't think it was the dog's fault (or yours). As you said, the dog was just doing its job. Then again, if it was me in this situation, I would have probably paid for the chicken, if the neighbor wanted me to. I hate having conflicts with neighbors, and I...

Bidding site users: read this

SpikeTheLobster @SpikeTheLobster (6403) 22 Nov 11

I know I've said it before but I'm going to say it again because it's so important: READ the job description. I posted another job on Elance this week because my book cover designer's too busy to do the job (shame, though it's...

NoWayRo I think I've wasted a few years of my life telling this to all my friends who want to start on bidding sites - as, just like you, I've been on both sides, and I know how much it matters - to both sides. I must admit that I use a few templates - but this comes...

Beaujolais Nouveau is green this year. Have you ever tasted a new wine ?

topffer @topffer (42156) • France 17 Nov 11

I had several wine growers in my family, and I know what is a new wine -- a wine just made -- : an acid beverage, just good to purge yourself if you have the audacity to drink more than two glasses. A wine...

NoWayRo New wine is relatively common here; then again, we tend to drink any type of alcohol or almost alcohol as soon as it's ready, no point in letting it age - who knows what's going to happen tomorrow? Maybe aliens invade and destroy mankind, and all that alcohol...

Rabid marketing idiocy

SpikeTheLobster @SpikeTheLobster (6403) 14 Nov 11

I thought I'd share something with you that made me chuckle almost as much as it made me shake my head in disbelief. How many of you do marketing? A lot, I'll bet. A huge number of people here on myLot are trying to earn extra...

NoWayRo Marketers and advertisers have always fascinated me. It seems incredibly time consuming, without actually producing anything; but, I guess that's their job, and maybe some of them even know what they're doing. A few years back I was hoping Internet would kill...

NoWayRo Sorry to hear about your friend's passing, and about you finding out like that. Seems he was a wonderful man - and Prague is the best city to honor a puppeteer, I'd say. I don't recall having met somebody that interesting by accident, but my friends are all...

A policewoman killed by a teacher with a Japanese saber in France.

topffer @topffer (42156) • France 14 Oct 11

This morning in Bourges, a city in the center of France, a man -- a teacher -- came to the prefecture to declare the possession of a Japanese saber and to ask a permit to carry it. As the permit was refused, he began to threaten...

NoWayRo Guess that man wanted to prove he had a point when he asked for a permit - it wasn't safe to allow him with a saber. It would be funny, if it weren't sad. I have a saber at home. Wanted to sell it a while back, but now, when I think of it, maybe I should...

Do you feel like it's shaking

stuckonu @stuckonu (726) • Philippines 14 Oct 11

I have an earthquake phobia so every time that I feel like it's shaking, I immediately check if my mug is really shaking or if the water is moving. However, most of the times, it is not really shaking although I've felt like it...

NoWayRo I don't think it's a medical condition, but it's probably stress related. At least that's how it is with me. I get this feeling all the time - but in particular when I'm tired, or when I've had a lot of coffee. The worst part is when I'm right, and there is...

NoWayRo Well, my writing style hasn't changed much since high school - in fact, I just threw away some papers from back then, and I noticed I was using words I've forgotten in the meantime, so it's probably gotten worse. Also, I wish I had the same enthusiasm when...

Not-So-Worthwhile Clients

Graceekwenx @Graceekwenx (3160) • Philippines 22 Sep 11

Is there such a thing as not so worthwhile clients? What i mean is that is it really worth serving demanding clients when they pay your fees at a delayed fashion? There are times that the administrative work and even expense to...

2 responses

NoWayRo I have to admit this happens to me all the time. I have to keep my hourly rates at a reasonable level, there are only 24 hours in a day, so if I don't make enough per hour, it's not worth it, in the end. It happens because the clients have very small orders,...

NoWayRo It's been a weird night indeed for some major clubs. But, what can we do? It's a choice we made for life, we'll stick with our clubs forever. I stood by mine when it was relegated to the second division, I still stand by it now when it doesn't play any...
