Wow, what a change

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160879) • United States 2 May 13

I am lost like everyone else, but I did find that you start a post by clicking on the box to the right of the search bar. It has a pencil in it and that is where you click to get a page to post on. I have not found how to find my...

Stiletto Oh I don't like it! Not that I can really complain too much as I had become a fairly infrequent Mylotter in recent years, but I miss the old site already! I just liked being able to check in from time to time and see what everyone was doing. It had a...

Stiletto Oh I've encountered loads of online scammers. I used to make my living selling stuff online and trust me they are everywhere. It was a big part of why I stopped selling on Ebay and other sites - dealing with them and trying to keep a step ahead just got to be...

I wonder if Twitter is worth joining..

stary1 @stary1 (6612) • United States 27 Feb 13

I have heard so many quote things that were posted on Twitter so I wonder if it is worth joining or is it a waste of time. I opened a facebook account but ony 'friended' my immediate family. I could just join Twitter and leave...

Stiletto I do have a Twitter account but rarely do much with it. I have the app on my phone so am more inclined to look at it if I'm waiting around or on a bus/train and need something to occupy my time. I follow lots of famous and not so famous people on it and now...

It's Never Our Fault Is It When An Animal Attacks Humans?

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 11 Feb 13

Recently, there has been a well-publicized case of a 6 week old baby being attacked by a fox in a London home. The baby lost a finger as the fox would not let go of his hand (until the mother came along to free her baby) but the...

Stiletto Yes I agree that people need to take responsiblity for their own actions. The fox is following it's instincts, it's not setting out to hunt human babies! Urban foxes are not a huge problem - contrary to Boris describing them as a "growing menace", it's very...

Scammers suck

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 10 Feb 13

One of my friends had several of her e-mail accounts hacked. And then this morning somebody set up an account that looked just like my Aunt Rita's, sent friend requests to everybody and started hitting people up for money. I just...

Stiletto It's tough when we have to stand by and keep quiet when we think someone we care about is making a mistake but you're right to keep out of it. Of course you have your opinion but it's probably best to stay quiet. Remember relationships are complicated things -...

High Heeled Footwear

sukumar794 @sukumar794 (5040) • Thiruvananthapuram, India 8 Jun 12

The concept of beauty among present day women is closely connected to wearing high heeled footwear. The world fashion scene demands it fully and supports it. But modern findings point to the drawbacks and possible ill effects of...

Stiletto I admit I've put my feet through a fair amount of punishment over the years. Massive platforms in the 70's, skyscraper heels in the 80's and 90's .... I've calmed down a bit and wear flats more often now, especially for work, but I still do like my heels for...

Stiletto I probably wouldn't struggle all the way through the entire book I'm afraid. I would write an honest review saying that I had to give up reading the book because of the reasons you have given above. I wouldn't worry too much about offending the author. As long...

How Eclectic Are You?

Muzicmaster7 @Muzicmaster7 (45) • Philippines 25 Aug 11

Stiletto My music collection is fairly eclectic I think. There's all kinds of genres in there, pop, rock, metal, punk, jazz, opera, rap, classical, a bit of bhangra and so on. The only thing I don't think you would find is any Country - I'm just not keen on it I'm...

Stiletto I am on Facebook but I hardly use it. To be honest a lot of things about the site really irritate me, and I also think it's a bit of a lazy way to keep in touch with people. I have been contacted by some people I went to school with, and I haven't seen them in...

Stiletto I don't think you're too picky. I've probably rejected more friends requests than I've accepted over the years I've been a member on here. Mostly I reject them for the same sort of reasons you have mentioned. I'm not interested in being spammed and I don't see...

Paranormal Romance: Do you like it?

patgalca @patgalca (18390) • Orangeville, Ontario 4 Sep 10

I have to say I am pretty picky about genres. I won't read history or war stories. I have no interest in sci-fi or fantasy. Romance novels I could take 'em or leave 'em. I like general fiction, biographies, non-fiction, women's...

Stiletto I will have a go at reading most genres although I tend to stick mainly to history or thriller/mystery stories. I'm not a big fan of fantasy/sci-fi stuff and I'm afraid the word "romance" in the blurb on the book cover is enough to make me put the book back on...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 3 Jan 10

Stiletto I think it's wrong to make fun of someone because of their appearance whether it's about their weight or whatever, so I don't do it. As for what I think when I see someone who is overweight, I guess it depends on how overweight they are. If we're talking about...
