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...

NO, The only language allowed is English

diamania @diamania (7011) • Netherlands 23 Oct 09

It has come to my attention that more and more people on mylot talk in their own language. The guidelines clearly state that the only language allowed is English. I don't mind when somebody asks: How do you say this and that in...

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...

Shopping at Goodwill

Kowgirl @Kowgirl (3490) • United States 19 May 09

I find some great things at the Goodwill outlet in Sanford, Fl. Last year I purchased a "Precious Pink" dish for under $2 which is a rare depression glass dish. It is worth $195 at an antique store. Just recently a friend found...

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*

I "just said no" to Easter this year...

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 12 Apr 09

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...

Are you planning your next vacation or trip?

uicbear @uicbear (1900) • United States 12 Apr 09

I have a tendency to start planning my next trip or vacation as soon as I finish with one. My next trip is a family trip to Florida (we're doing the Disney World thing) in October. I know it's quite a while before the trip, but...

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...

jlamela @jlamela (4897) • Philippines 30 Nov 08

acuityplague Hi jlamela, Thank you for the review! I've been thinking about going to see Twilight, but after the disappointment of cloverfield I swore never to see a movie in the theater again. Your review gives me hope that good movies are still being made! I think I...

Amber @AmbiePam (95116) • United States 25 Oct 08

Do you wear shoes at home?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 4 Mar 08

I am not some small girl with 2 ponytails but I do go around my house barefooted. My contention is that since the floor in my house is clean, why should I fuss with shoes? And since I have no intention of slipping, why would I...

acuityplague Hello My Lord, No shoes in the house, period. I've been known to throw loud and frightening fits over the use of shoes indoors. I prefer to go barefoot, but others in my family do the sock thing. It's easier to slide on the hardwood floors in socks so the...
