angelicEmu Hi Yanstill, Well, salt does have special symbolism in England - salt used to be a rare and precious commodity, not only for seasoning, but because it's essential for life, and used to be rationed out to soldiers as part of their pay (if my memory isn't...

angelicEmu Congratulations to you Yanstill! I'm very happy for you, and I know you'll have great success in your new job! Working does take up more time than you expect when you're a student - often travelling to work takes quite a while - but it makes you appreciate the...

Since when did "non-Christian" turn into "anti-Christ"?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 16 Sep 07

I've seen several people on mylot use the term "anti-Christ" to describe anyone who isn't Christian recently. Now, before anyone feels picked on, I'm not complaining about anyone one of the people who used the term, but wondering...

angelicEmu I'm afraid this is yet another symptom of one of the uglier sides of human nature being used by religious organisations who don't wield as much power within the richer countries as they used to. Intolerance, feeling threatened by anything different (as though...

Anime moods?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 15 Sep 07

I'm usually not that active in the anime topics here at mylot, but I'm just in an anime mood today. It's funny because sometimes I'll go weeks without really watching much anime or thinking about it, and then suddenly I'll watch...

angelicEmu You're not a nerd at all - the idea of a nerd is purely an American-invented form of inverted snobbery, perpetuated by vacuous people to make them feel culturally superior for their personality and intellectual deficiencies. So first off, I don't accept the...

Do you think talking about a good thing too much can "jinx" it?

vega83 @vega83 (6342) • Bahrain 15 Sep 07

Well, it's definitely not one of my beliefs, since I can't stop talking about the good things that happen to me, more so than the bad things. But I've known quite a lot of people who like to hide their fortunes or good things...

angelicEmu No, I don't tend to be superstitious. However, sometimes the idea behind a superstition comes from a logical standpoint. Talking a lot about something you have, or are going to have, could lead someone to be jealous, and either try to take it away from you, or...

angelicEmu I must say that I take a somewhat different approach to yours when it comes to the internet, lecanis. The fact is that I don't tend to invest much personally in the contact I have with people via myLot. That's not to say that I don't enjoy responding to...

angelicEmu I'm sure you won't become that frog Yanstill! I think everyone has times when they feel lethargic (no energy, sleepy, bored and listless), and procrastination is very easy isn't it? But when I feel like this, I just say to myself "Right, it's time to do that...

Are afraid of nuts in chocolate?

Daelin @Daelin (683) • Brazil 14 Aug 07

I heard that nuts usually get mold after a while and that chocolate with nuts are dangerous because of that. Have you heard something like that? Would you stop eating chocolate with nuts if it is true?

2 responses •

1 person

angelicEmu No, I wouldn't stop eating chocolate with nuts - I'd just use that as an excuse to eat it more quickly, so the nuts don't get the chance to go mouldy!! Chocolate with nuts is wonderful, and I've never had any problems with it spoiling more quickly than...

Helen Keller's Turn

katkat @katkat (2378) • Philippines 25 Aug 07

Do You Have a Favourite Singer Who Has Quitted Singing?

wondericequeen @wondericequeen (7876) • Hong Kong 25 Aug 07

angelicEmu Oh dear, I'm sorry to hear your sad news. It's horrible to lose a pet, and as I understand it, the grieving process is just as bad as for a family member. It must be a very difficulat time for you right now, and you have my sympathy. All the best.

"Let's change the subject", but why?

vega83 @vega83 (6342) • Bahrain 12 Aug 07

I think it's really silly when people would rather not talk things out just because they think it might get serious. Recently I met a friend, who I had seen after a long time. It was a group of us who had all gone to see her as...
