Even though I am new to mylot, it is obvious to me that many mylotters are freelance writers who earn some or most of their income through writing. I have read some discussions talking about different sites that pay freelancers....

If I have enough money to visit Europe, I would love to visit Italy first. Italy is such a fascinating and romantic place with its old buildings. I also dream of sampling authentic Italian cuisine right off the streets of...

alindahaw Wow! I have always wanted to see the Amalfi Coast. I've heard that this place is really beautiful and the beaches are awesome. I would love to see this place one of these days. Thanks for the post.

I just read an article about a mother, Carlotta Pierce, who hit her severely malnourished child with a CD box then tied her to the bed and forced her to take sleeping pills. What did the child do wrong? She raided the refrigerator...

alindahaw Yes, that woman is really sick. My 9 months old baby is already 19 pounds and he is not even overweight. That little girl is 4 years old and she weighs 15 pounds! Can you imagine how malnourished she is?

alindahaw Yes, she looks really evil. The poor child just wanted to eat something. Her mom probably did not give her any dinner too. She only weighed 15 pounds at age 4! Carlotta does not deserve to be a mother.

alindahaw Bravenewworld, I must say that I am deeply disappointed that you think it is alright to make jokes about young girls like that. Tell you what, I think that Letterman is simply using the misfortune of others to earn money. Making fun of other people is not...

alindahaw The wife must have reasons not to see her husband. Do not judge her as disloyal or unkind. You do not really know the dynamics of their relationship and jumping to conclussions on this matter is not a good idea.

My friend Janie is married to Peter. The issue is he doesn't want to have kids, infact he wants to adopt a kid. He is a social activist who study and work for environmental issues with an NGO. He says that earth already has lots...

alindahaw So true! If Janie wants to have her own baby and she think she can handle the task of raising a kid of her own flesh and blood then by all means let her be. Besides, if Janie adopts a baby, she will still have the full responsibility of caring for that child....

They seem to be everywhere: salesladies/clerks who don't attend to you in their most courteous ways when you aren't dressed in designer label clothes, or you don't look rich. I may sometimes have self-esteem issues, and I really...

alindahaw Sounds awful! I did check out that shop once but I did not like much of what they were selling that time so I kind of just left and never came back. I guess that was a wise decision after all. LOL

alindahaw Oh dear! That sounds awful. I didn't know things are that bad. I understand your concerns. The cost of living nowadays is quite high and with some mortgage payments due each month, it is never easy to balance our finances. Maybe you should ask someone else...

alindahaw I know. A lot of people simply do not care how others feel these days. Times have changed a lot. Come to think of it, I offered my seat to an old lady on the train once and the people around me stared at me as if I came from another planet!

alindahaw Aha! So you were the one who left the flat iron on! LOL Anyway, these things do happen especially when you are distracted. Just make sure that you double check everything next time before you head for the door. :)

This scares me to death. My three year old daughter (only child) is more interested in playing cars. I may be over-reacting, but I’m afraid she has inclinations to become tomboy. Oh my, I hate to think of it. Just this morning, we...

alindahaw So true! Besides, 60 seconds of fame can be a lot of fun too! LOL Maybe they will give us one of those lovely houses by the lake in exchange for a little TV exposure. They can also throw in a jet or a couple of those fancy cars like a lamborgini, ferrari or...

Housework is the pits. Do you know how many hours of housework it takes to maintain two adults minus young children around? We cannot deny the fact that women have always been the 'slave' in the house and I wonder where it is...

alindahaw I must say that we are on the same boat. My hubby has low tolerance when it comes to mess so he ends up picking things up and cleaning the house more than I do. We is also the better cook so he does most of the cooking. I on the other hand takes care of the...

alindahaw Exactly! Our purchasing power have weakened considerably over the last few months and I doubt if most of us will recover anytime soon. The worsing global recession is pushing us to the limits these days.

alindahaw Yeah, I guess the financial crisis is taking a toll on all of us these days. I used to just pick up whatever I want when I go shopping but now I have to stick to my shopping list most of the time. The cost of living has gone up while income has gone done. Such...
