acuityplague Hi Littleone:) Your new family member is lovely! Great job rescuing her, I bet she's happy to have a new home and people to love her. It's ridiculous the cruel things some people will do to an animal. It's just sickening. I'm glad she's okay! I...

acuityplague I'm with James, this needs to go the "silly route", since that is what it is..silly. These Total Transformation people will be issuing refunds in a few years just like that Baby Enstien group is doing now. (which makes me giggle) If a word or group of...

acuityplague Hello Diamania:) I personally haven't come across any discussions or comments in any language other than English but I do agree that English should be the main if not the only language of the site. It's (Mylot) intended to be global and like it or not...

acuityplague Unless my math skills are much more lacking than I thought... If 1 US dollar is equal to 46 rupees, then 1 dollar can get you- a litre of milk a can of beans half a pack of noodles. Here in the USA- that dollar won't get you so much....

acuityplague Hi Kowgirl:) You know, it's funny but I've never even thought of looking for things like that at Goodwill or the Salvation Army. I love to go to those stores and look around, mainly for books and I just never took time to look at old glass pieces and...

acuityplague Hi Dismalgrin:) It's just personal preference really. If you like to go through your friends list and find content that interest's you, it would be really annoying to have to wade through tons of inactive people. So it would make sense to delete them and...

acuityplague After watching that video, I can honestly say that for the first time in my life... I am struck speechless. I can only scratch my head and wonder at the things that people with way to much time on their hands can come up with. *sigh*

No. This isn't an anti-religion commentary. For those of you celebrating Easter this year, Happy Easter! I just chose to take the year off. In my family it's become more about the commercial aspects of Easter rather than the...

acuityplague I wish I could get it together enough to plan things out. We usually just decide we want to go some place and make the travel and hotel arrangements on the fly. It's always hectic and I'm exhausted by the time our "vacation" is over. It's less...

Have you ever watched an advertisement lately that left you feeling uneasy? I have; and I can't help but think, "Isn't this counter-productive?" The Burger King guy for instance, he is just frightening! He is a scary dude no...
