As regular readers of this column (lol) will know, my lucrative hobby is betting on greyhounds, and I came across a bunch of dogs yesterday that tickled my fancy, and I thought I'd share them with you. There are a number with...

The Pits - how low can they get?

Media, particularly the radio style talk-back hate hosts, have a lot to anser for. We have one mongrel here in Australia who has taken the art to its extreme. He gave a speech at a Liberal (Conservative) Party student meeting...

Tam1204 Unfortunately, the type of things you are talking about sell. The make money for the radio stations, television, newspapers, etc. It is "accepted" bullying, which has become a hot topic lately. I dont think they should be allowed to spew the vile things that...

Fat anchor woman talks back

winterose @winterose (39887) • Canada 3 Oct 12

Tam1204 O applaud her for her response. Everything she said is true. Parents condone bullying by their own actions. This was a basic act of bullying. I personally think she is an excellent role model, simply for her attitude and grace.

What do you think about age difference in relationships?

phoenix1344 @phoenix1344 (698) • United States 3 Oct 12

I have to say, before meeting my fiance I wasn't quite sure how I felt about it. I always thought 'to each their own' for those that dated someone significantly older or younger, but I had personally always dated people within...

Tam1204 My partner and I are 9 years apart. We are older. I am 42 and she is 51. I think that an age difference is more accepted by society in older couples than in younger ones. I think it is easier to overcome when people get older also. A lot of times younger...

Tam1204 Diet wine is a marketing ploy that is designed to appeal to our self-esteem issues. It probably isnt significantly less calories than other wine, but because it is marketed as "Diet", the cost will be more and people will buy it. I am a label reader,...

Tam1204 from what I have noticed, the earnings are pretty good for what you do. I am rather new here, but no more than I have posted, I have some in the account. It isnt a lot, but since I post on discussion boards all the time, why not earn a bit for it. I have...

What is your reaction when somebody stares at you?

Winky @msfrancisco9369 (10002) • Boston, Massachusetts 25 Sep 12

Hi Mylot Friends, When I first came to the United States, I was informed that staring somebody is not good whether you're just showing your appreciation about the person, or your annoyed, amazed and whatever is the reason,...

Tam1204 I either smile and wave at the person or just ignore them. It depends on my mood. I am not a self conscious person so it doesn't bother me. I do know a lot of people that are bothered by it.

Tam1204 I considered myself as middle class until a couple of weeks ago. I saw a story on the news that was actually talking about classes and how they have been redefined by income levels. I now fall in the lower class instead of middle class. My income has not...

Tam1204 I look at price first, then the camera, after that I look at other features. I usually go for the cheapest one that has a good camera. Anything after that is just a bonus.

Tam1204 I have taught in both public schools and private schools. Public schools are by far the best. They prepare children better for the reality of adulthood. Privates schools have definite positives, like smaller classes, less disruptions, better facilities, and...

How do I leave my family without damaging our relationship?

Akaimiko @Akaimiko (15) • United States 24 Sep 12

First of all, let me stress this: I love my family. As crazy as things have gotten in the past, I love my mom and my dad, my twin sister, and my two younger sisters. We're all adults. The youngest girl is 20 years old. We are also...

Tam1204 Your biggest issue is the way the family unit is considered. I assume that your family is very traditional. Middle Eastern culture is more focused on family than American culture. I have realized this recently because I have been renting from a middle eastern...

Tam1204 I could only stomach about 5 minutes of it. It is horribly made, horribly acted, horribly dubbed. I dont know what the purpose of it was. Maybe it was meant to inflame people. Maybe it was meant as a joke/parody. Either way, it is disgusting.
