A Christmas wish list

sofs @sofssu (23662) 10 Dec 15

I don't have a wish list . I do want a dog, but I am okay if I don't get one this Christmas. I wouldn't really want anyone to give me a wish list, sometimes this can get beyond my budget. I prefer to give people something that...

TexanTornado Actually truth be told, I think a 'wish list' is a bit rude. I was always one who believed in it's the thought that mattered. To have someone give you a wish list is like dictating what they want you to get them.

TexanTornado Well, I missed the day entirely. I am not one who frets on the bank, nor do I feel the need to make payout each month. If I make it great, if I don't no biggie either. I tended to real life yesterday, for to me that is more important. I won't be...

Is yours big?

MysD @mysdianait (66009) • Italy 27 Nov 15

If yours is big, do you tell people about it? Or do you prefer to keep quiet and keep it to yourself? Do you try making it bigger or just let it happen? Are you disappointed if...

Why I Don't Post Family Photos Online

Deborah-Diane @DeborahDiane (40316) • Laguna Woods, California 26 Nov 15

Over the seven or eight years that I have been writing online, I have only rarely posted a photo of any member of my family. When I have done so, I have intentionally used either low quality, slightly blurred photos or ones in...

TexanTornado I don't post family photos online, cause it would be breaking the others in the photos privacy. To me it's just wrong.

Had to Un-Follow a Person Today

Ann LeFlore @poehere (15123) • French Polynesia 26 Nov 15

I am so sad that I had to un-follow a person today. This is the first time I ever had to do this. But this person left me no other choice. I was sure that everyone who had wanted to follow me kept tabs on what I had written and...

TexanTornado I myself tend to click 'people' and then 'discussions' now if one person would take over the whole page, I would have to do the same thing and unfollow them. I wouldn't have any qualms about it either.

Have You Altered Your Thanksgiving Travel Plans Due to Terrorism Threats?

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (121656) • Gainesville, Florida 25 Nov 15

The US Government has issued a worldwide travel alert due to the threat of terrorists actions over the Thanksgiving holiday. With round-the-clock news of bombings, shootings and other negative news, you would think that many...

TexanTornado I never have been one to travel around the holidays. Things just seem to crazy for me. So the alert didn't really phase me, cause I have no plans/never did of going anywhere.

Narrow Streets and Cobblestones

Judy Evans @JudyEv (341692) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Nov 15

By early July the weather was really hot. In Moulins, France, we visited the Église du Sacré-Cœur and the Cathedral. It is difficult to pinpoint where specific photos were taken so they're all in together. The Église du...

TexanTornado That was a wonderful slide show. I absolutely love the Cathedral. Every time, I visit New Orleans I have to visit the St. Louis Cathedral there. I never been to France, and probably never will, but it looked to be very beautiful.

Kids These Days - Not All Bad

koopharper @koopharper (7601) • Canada 24 Nov 15

They party too loud and hard sometimes. They leave a mess that I often get to clean up in the restaurant (I've had to get a ladder and clean ketchup off the ceiling). They can come off less than respectful and foul mouthed at...

TexanTornado What a great read. Yes, kids can be unruly at times, I think we were too to some degree when we were kids, but there is good in them too. I am glad that you were able to show that side of them.

TexanTornado Hello and welcome to mylot. The main difference between the two is 'interaction'. Here there is true interaction. Well, there is also another one, but I will refrain from any negativity. Simply enjoy yourself and have fun.
