Don't you think having spell check on MyLot would be a good idea

CaroleeKaufold @CaroleeKaufold (1853) • United States 24 Mar 07

I have sent so many discussions out with mispelled words, I could blush

spell check

TrappedGaijin Why? Adding a spell checker is only going to increase people's inability to spell correctly. Instead of worrying about whether a site should have something to check spelling, perhaps we should be more worried about the level of education given. Instead of...

Would u date outside your race?

kynni204 @kynni204 (2031) • United States 27 Apr 07

Is this prohibited in your culture. Would you be sentenced to death. Have you ever been attracted to someone outside your race. What would your parents say? Would your family disown you, never speak to you again? Would you respect...

TrappedGaijin I'm really amazed that it actually does matter still. I've always believed that race should never be a prerequisite to dating, marrying, or any type of relationship. There are so many other disqualifying factors when you add in religious beliefs and other...

I understand everyone is trying to make some money here, but I've seen a lot of...well...boring topics. Granted I'm not some genius that can magically write wonderful topics, but I'm also not pasting jokes just to increase my...

TrappedGaijin I have to agree with you completely. It seems like even when people are trying to have intelligent discussions actual opinions are not welcome, only the same Christian drivel that's been spit out since the The First Council of Nicaea sat down with their wine...

Metallica is dead to me...

djarkangel420 @djarkangel420 (50) • United States 27 Apr 07

Everyone has probably heard of them at some point in their lives, others probably still listen to them. Me, I'm starting to REALLY sick of them. At one point in my life I liked their music, mainly their early 80's stuff. The...

TrappedGaijin Metallica should be banned from the radio till they get their heads out of their anal orifice. They should also be made fun of constantly for being the biggest sellout in musical history *are you reading this, lars?* Metallica is the band that every other...

Ladies: Silver or Gold???

racheld @racheld (840) • United States 10 Apr 07

I love silver jewelry! I think it looks absolutely gorgeous with my skin color. Growing up, I wore a lot of gold jewelry, but after high school hit, it was all silver. I'm not even sure why I switched. I think it was because I...

TrappedGaijin I feel that both have their place in my wardrobe. With dark colors, I contrast with silver jewelry, and in summery, white outfits gold is the way to go. Something about billowing white clothes and soft gold jewelry. Hehe, I'm so dated for my age.

Dirty words in songs and how do you deal with them and children?

TeeandMe @TeeandMe (104) • United States 10 Apr 07

I'm very strict on what my children are allowed to say. And they know that they will be in trouble in they say a bad word. But how do you deal with it when a dirty word is in a song. The kids are not technically saying the...

TrappedGaijin I've always believed that words are nothing more than just that. The more power given to them, the more intriguing they become. My mother's best advice to me was cursing is only a person's way of showing what a limited vocabulary they have.

Anyone want to hear about growing up in Brooklyn?

CaroleeKaufold @CaroleeKaufold (1853) • United States 4 Apr 07

In the '40's, '50's and early '60's Brooklyn, was like a small home town. It didn't matter if you live over a store, in an apartment building or a single home. You felt safe and you knew everyone in the neighborhood. I lived...

TrappedGaijin It's funny just how much your reminiscing got to me tonight. I used to sit and listen to my Granda tell me stories about Detroit back in his younger days. He recently had a series of strokes and passed away, but he left me with the ability to cherish the...

What outlet do you use to express or release your anger?

pangeacat @pangeacat (619) • United States 9 Apr 07

We all get angry sometimes. Most of us prefer not to take that anger out on other people, particularly not on the people we love. So, what do you do to let that anger out? Or, do you keep it in? Do you let it build up, until you...

TrappedGaijin I'm actually more likely to take it out on someone I care for, only because they're usually more understanding and take less offense than someone I don't know. That being said, the way I deal with my anger is by cleaning, like a maid on amphetamines. Angry...

United States.....A Third World Country?

gypsylady28 @gypsylady28 (945) • United States 9 Apr 07

I was shocked recently when a teacher told me if we didn't push our children more in education that the United States would become a third world country. She also told me we were falling way behind the Chinese, Japanese, and...

TrappedGaijin I really think the problem with education is the fact that people don't realize that it can actually be fun to learn. Learning doesn't take away from childhood experiences, rather it enhances them by giving them a real and true grasp of what is happening...

Snow on Easter morning?!

djarkangel420 @djarkangel420 (50) • United States 8 Apr 07

My 4yr old wakes me up this morning at 7:30. As I fumble around in the kitchen making her breakfast, she wakes up to me and asks if she can play in the snow later. Snow? What snow? So I look outside, sure enough...about 2...

Parents, Children And Discipline

trinidadvelasco @trinidadvelasco (11401) • Philippines 2 Apr 07

There are times when parents become too strict with their children. Setting curfew hours, poking their noses into the friends we have and friendships we are developing, getting into our school records and looking through our...

TrappedGaijin I had the exact opposite growing up. My mother really never bothered to check up on things like friends or school. In the end, though, I think she was lucky I never tried to do anything to get her attention. I wonder if she thought it would be too much...

TrappedGaijin Hey there :) Great to see you on. You might want to check TOS though, for content allowances. I think myLot might be more strict than MySpace on that kind of thing.

TrappedGaijin Madonna does actually donate to charity quite often. All the profits from her book series, "The English Roses" were given to orphanages. She does donate to causes in Africa, as well. Most likely, I would assume, she adopted a child in part for the media...

MADONNA: my POP ICON

juliaandrea_a @juliaandrea_a (349) • Philippines 30 Mar 07

I remember the time when I was a young girl I used to imitate Madonna. She was and still my favorite pop icon. I like her song "Like A virgin" and "Vogue". I also admire her because she was able to maintain her figure even if...

TrappedGaijin Madonna was my idol growing up. Well, her and Cyndi Lauper. I always did wonder why she caused to much controversy. Everything she did, we all did too. The only difference being, we didn't do it on national stage. I just assumed it was her personal message...
