Awaken friends and find yourself. Do not swallow blindly what you have not experienced personally.

I'm shocked/depressed

Luvandpower @luvandpower (2048) • United States 21 Mar 14

So I started a new job last year and I have been enjoying it greatly. I went to the doctor today and I have apparently gained about 32-33 pounds in the past year... While I can understand how/why (actually had money for normal...

Jewels New beginnings perhaps? You have a new job so restart your health regime. Don't worry about the weight. Get healthy instead. The better you feel about yourself the more weight drops off. I get a bit concerned about all these diet companies - there is a...

Sparks @sparkofinsanity (20471) • Regina, Saskatchewan 10 Jul 09

Recently there has been a rash of users here who are using this site to flame and insult those of us who have been here for some time, as well as newbies. These users just don't get it. Sadly for them, they are missing the...

Did you know that 2009 marks the beginning of the "Ignore a troll" decade?

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 10 Jul 09

I'm amazed that there hasn't been more fanfare about this momentous occasion actually! It's an extremely important decade for humanity because what it means is that we collectively get to report trolls behind the scenes but never,...

Jewels Trolls! Bless there little psychotic cotton socks! We have a few of those over at Hubpages - they need a couch and therapist. I totally agree on the humanitarian impulse though. Can you feel it in the air James? I just watched 1 Giant Leap a few days ago....

Unwelcomed mylot absences..... Does it bother you as much as it does me?

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 30 Jan 09

Let's admit it! This site draws us in whether we expected it to or not and becomes an integral part of our lives. We make countless friends that we have never even physically met in most cases, but they are people that we end up...

Jewels I used to but I weaned myself off myLot. It's became quite slow and ridden with advertising and most discussions were repetitive and quite boring. Nice to speak again James. I'm obviously very bored cause I'm here. LOL Hope your 2009 is a good one. I've...

Do U Allow Your Pets On Your Bed?

Chevee @Chevee (5905) • United States 4 Feb 09

I don't have any pets, but I was wondering how do the people here at MyLot feel about pets, cats, dogs, on your bed? And if you allow your pet to sleep or lay in the same bed with the humans in the house. If I had a pet I...

no pets on the bed

Jewels No way. I wouldn't allow pets anywhere near where I am sleeping. And I personally don't like animals in the house. This will go against what allot of people here at myLot think, particularly the animal lovers. But it's my preference to have my own space clean...

arlerambabu @arlerambabu (1079) • India 20 Oct 08

Jewels I rarely use pills for anything, well I'm rarely ill anyway. And I don't get many headaches, so I'm perhaps lucky. Or is it that I'm already using my body to resist them. Headaches are caused by many things, but the most common is an excess of chatter in and...

Ever had to deal with "Selective Response Syndrome" on myLot?

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 13 Oct 08

I am sure we have all suffered the effects of this on mylot every once in a while. You know, the instances when you respond to someone's discussion and when you check back to the post you see that the owner of the discussion has...

Jewels Fairly miffed actually James. I don't like it at all. Makes my mind go a bit ape, wondering whether they don't like me, or had a reaction to my comment in some way. As you know my responses bare little venom so that shouldn't be the case. So I'm stumped....

1 response

Jewels This is a really good point. I can't even remember my mobile number, let along someone else's. When I was younger (see now I have the age excuse) I could remember about 20 phone numbers, all the zip codes/post codes in a 100 mile radius of where I lived plus...

is "I"the most selfish word??????????

taurus21 @taurus21 (18) • Pakistan 13 Oct 08

generally this word creates problems.for those who live for themselves cannot remain human,and soon show their selfishness.and when asked they reply," I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS"

selfishness

1 response

Jewels Depends on your standpoint on this. Certain phases of your life means using I as a means to being seen in the world. Nothing wrong with this. It's when it is used excessively that problems exist. If you have been oppressed then finding the I is very necessary,...

Do you have a good singing voice? Honestly?

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 29 Sep 08
