RieRie It has pros and cons, if you have decent stuff that people want and can advertise well then it's good, but the insertion fees can mount up especially if an item doesn't sell. It tells you the estimated postage prices in the listing form, but the buyer pays...

Is There Such Thing as Soul Mates?

Mercedes @mercedes2053 (136) • Davao, Philippines 15 Dec 11

I've often heard people commenting on broken relationships of couples they know...that the reason of their break-up is simply they are not really meant for each other. And added to that is this notion that there is always a...

RieRie I believe I found my soulmate but some relationships work even if people don't consider themselves soulmates, i think certain people just fit better together than others for example I would say my friends ex was more suited to her than her current partner.

Whether u have experience at this or not I am curious to hear how you all feel about long distance relationships. If you have learned from direct experience or not, please share.

RieRie Long distance relationships can only last if both people are 100% committed but it can be hard because you really miss them when you can't see them for a while and I think it's best if you can spend as much time as possible together, I was in a long distance...

Thoughtful or Offensive?

pumpkinjam @pumpkinjam (8770) • United Kingdom 15 Dec 11

Today, my child had some Christmas presents from school. This, in itself, of course, is not a problem. They were, however, presented in a black bin bag in front of other children and parents and were from the Salvation Army. If...

RieRie He shouldn't have been given it in front of everyone and if they're giving something to one child other parents might be offended that their children didn't get anything. And a bin bag (or refuse sack) isn't the right thing to put it in, even just a carrier...

hi there people, i use ebay about once in a month, but i go on it several times in a week, because when i've to buy something i would like to know how much does it cost on ebay, so if the price is lower on ebay i buy it there and...

RieRie I know a couple of other sites like ebay but not sure on buying rules, as I haven't purchased anything, just researched. I used ebay this year for Christmas presents and was only disappointed by one seller out of about 30, so that was good. Sometimes I...

Stevensitu @Stevensitu (217) • United States 22 Dec 09

RieRie I'm not religious at all but it's Merry Christmas, or if you're not sure whether people celebrate Christmas, you can use Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays to me means someone is going on a holiday and you're hoping it's happy, like saying Bon Voyage.

It looks like mylot is being dominated by the women members

vijayanths @vijayanths (7877) • India 22 Dec 09

What could be the reason for this? May be women are having more time for part time work? may be women stay at home for longer periods than men in a day. Women find mylot as a good platform for making a few bucks and also...

RieRie I may get attacked by women for saying this, but it maybe because women are more opinionated than men, so like to let people know what they think. Or maybe men think they know all the answers, so don't need to ask any questions.

Have you ever slipped and fell on the ice?

Sheri @tuckersheri (1327) • United States 22 Dec 09

I have slipped and fell on the ice. This is not fun and it hurts. One day I was out walking to school and it was so slick and there was alot of snow. I was in a hurry and was walking as fast as I could that day. I ended up walking...

RieRie Yes and broke my leg as a consequence, make sure you tread carefully and don't hurry, I never expected I'd break my leg at 27 years old, as I've always been careful.

Do you share or suffer in silence?

Amber @AmbiePam (93740) • United States 21 Dec 09

On another site I was reading about how a couple of members were nominated for some prizes because they had fallen on hard times. People couldn't nominate themselves of course. I wasn't aware of it, but of the few I know who won,...

RieRie I suffer in silence unless I get absolutely desperate (not happened quite yet)I know the people I could share my problems with will only tell me about there problems which are WAY more important, so I listen to them and keep quiet.

Where did all the H1N1 go?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 21 Dec 09

I meant the virus and the talk about H1N1. After the big urgency about the H1N1 virus a couple of months ago, and the importance of getting everyone vaccinated, I wondered why now it seems it's not so important. Today, at work I...

RieRie I wouldn't, I'd only get vaccinated for things like errm well all the ones you have as a baby, so I'm done. Or if someone close to me has some kind of infectious thing that could kill you, I'd get vaccinated against that, but I've survived a few epidemics and...

What would you think if a 30 something year old man dated an 18 year old woman

4 responses •

1 person

RieRie I normally would think how old the woman was when the man was 18 and decide it was disgusting. Because that's 12 years difference, so when the man was 18, the woman was only 6. But if the man was 60 and the woman was 72 it doesn't look as bad, even though the...

The company inolved is CABOT FINANCIAL, helpful responses only please.

dorypanda @dorypanda (1601) 7 Nov 09

I have several questions actually to do with this company, I shall put them in list order: 1. Can a company BUY a debt from somewhere else and legally reclaim any money allegedly owed? 2. If I have asked them NOT to ring me,...

RieRie If a company buys a debt, then that debt becomes unenforceable, however if the company goes bankrupt and someone takes over then the debt passes on to the people who have taken over. I had to look this up because I had a couple of letters from Lowell...

Spells and Counter Spells

pumpkinjam @pumpkinjam (8770) • United Kingdom 3 Nov 09

Firslty, I would like to say that this is not a discussion on whether spells work, etc. but let's say, for the sake of this discussion, that they do. What if, say, someone put a "curse" or "hex" or something on someone but that...

Demands for Debt Payment

pumpkinjam @pumpkinjam (8770) • United Kingdom 25 Oct 09

I recently had a threatening letter demanding payment of a debt (you know, the kind where they tell you that if you don't pay, you'll have to pay more). There was no option to call the company in case of dispute, it seems it had...

2 responses

RieRie I think they can send whatever they like, but if you dispute it, they have to check it's accuracy and they can't make you pay anything unless it's sorted out. If you have enough to pay it, pay it and then try and get your money back, if not don't worry, just...

RieRie I doubt it would be legal, what about bank sites? If someone gets your password and knows enough about you they can probably steal from you too.

Tax on land lines.

nannacroc @nannacroc (4049) 24 Sep 09

According to a programme on the radio this morning, from March next year the English government is going to impose a 50p a month tax on anyone with a land line. They say this is to make our internet access as good as they have in...

RieRie What about the people who don't use the internet, I'm sure there are still some people who have a landline but no internet. I'll pay the 50p but only if they increase the amount of money people need to live on to a live-on-able amount.

Income tax change

dorypanda @dorypanda (1601) 24 Sep 09

My partner has just informed me his tax code has suddenly changed, they haven't given him a reason for this change, our circumstances haven't changed, so I have no idea why that's happened. He is now paying around £100 MORE in...

3 responses

RieRie Well my Mum says it could be to do with children, I know you've got one and he's 16 now, so maybe it's because they assume he's working, it might just be that you have to let the tax people know that he's still in full-time education.

RieRie Just tick the remember me buttons if there are any on the sites you visit. If you're using Google in incognito mode though if won't save passwords, that's when there's a little man with a aht and sunglasses in the top left hand corner.
