Why won't anyone read my blog?

AngelNicki @AngelNicki (412) • United States 23 Mar 07

I write in my blog every day or every other day, at least! My blog is about children's issues. I write about news stories about things that effect children, children's charities, and other topics. I include links, and...

amusements I would have to agree with most of the above. When I read your blog, it stretches my window so that it is very wide - especially that blue image with the heart. I am glad to know that the proceeds are going somewhere great, but perhaps you could resize that...

amusements My friend also read the book and loved it. She is a big fan of Gregory's books and always tells me to read them, but I have never found the time. I have always wanted to read it... Grandmother also has read some of her other books and enjoyed them very much.

How GREEN are you?

lacurandera @lacurandera (335) • United States 23 Mar 07

I used to use regular, bleached white notebook paper, but began writing on recycled paper a few years ago. Actually, I use Banana Paper. I like the look of the paper, but all the visible fibers detract from the actual handwriting....

amusements I just found their website - it sounds like a great program. I would really like to try that. I'm usually a computer-writer too. If I write in a notebook or on paper, I usually use stuff I have lying around the house. I already own quite a few blank...

The most friends you have ever had

bamakelly @bamakelly (5191) • United States 26 Jan 09

I was wondering how many friends you actually had at one time. Did you like the idea of having so many people be your friend?

I have recently begun looking into doing Freelance writing from home. Does anyone out there have any advice for a new writer getting into the business? Good places to start writing? Where to look for work?

amusements Do you get money for rating? It doesn't say anywhere that you do. I've rated quite a few articles and I don't seem to have received compensation for it. Where would it show up?

Do you get annoyed by text speak?

littlemoo @littlemoo (317) • Australia 27 Feb 07

Are you annoyed by the amount of text talk occurring in everyday life? I don't mean just on myLot. I'm referring to text talk popping up in work documents, professional letters, emails, etc. I can put up with a little bit, but...

amusements Exactly - I don't think there's any good grounding for their professional lives if they are allowed to write like that. It's terrible. Already I'm seeing the quality of professional publications degenerating. I often catch spelling and grammar mistakes on...

Recommend some bad books

willocfc @willocfc (963) • Australia 15 Feb 07

People occasionally ask for good books on such-and-such a topic. Well, I'm sick of that. This is a thread for bad book recommendations--books that are just awful, and exceptional in their awfulness. They can be in any genre, but...

amusements How funny... these three are among my favorite books! I think that perhaps you will find that if you go back later and read these books you might appreciate them more than the first time you read them.

Should advertising be allowed in schools?

amusements @amusements (106) • United States 28 Jan 07

I'm working on a report for school right now about public schools and their multi-million dollar deals with companies like Coca-Cola. It made me wonder what people on MyLot thought about things like this. Some people say that...

amusements That's true. I guess one of the reasons that this seems so odd to me is that I never drink coke anyway. I feel like it's unhealthy and try to drink juice or water instead. Perhaps to someone who drinks coke all the time anyway, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Hve you ever thought of auditioning?

Lady_Vincy @Lady_Vincy (1538) • United States 11 Jan 07

Has anybody ever been to an American Idol audition or want to to? I want to go one year. I have been told that my voice is pretty nice. I'm just very scared.

amusements Yup. One of my friends auditioned, and the guy at the first round said his "performace" aspect wasn't high enough, although his voice was good. Make sure that if you try out, you also work on your stage presence as well as your singing. They're looking for...

Favourite "Beatle"

steerforth @steerforth (1797) • Italy 24 Jan 07

Which is your favorite Beatle? I like Paul McCartney because he wrote the music but not for other, because the Beatles are four phenomenal musicists.

Stairway to Heaven

amusements Kashmir is fantastic~! I love it so much. It was the second song of theirs that I heard, after Stairway. The extra instrumentation with the strings makes it an amazing piece... even if you can't understand what Robert Plant is saying at all!

amusements I think Liverpool's already got strikers that are perfectly able of finishing goals, as well as a few midfielders. I'm not a big fan of Crouch, but Kuyt and Bellamy do well.

amusements I am surprised I am the only one who is really fond of Harrison. Ever since I saw Concert for Bangladesh I have had so much respect for him. He really was an amazing person - the quiet Beatle (or so they said). He brought some amazing influences to the group,...
