Online Games: Signup or Not?

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 1 Jan 09

If you found a website you really like and can use the resources without having to signup - would you signup anyway? (For example you'd be notified if something is added) Alternatively would you signup for a website just to be...

Christmas In Your Country

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 25 Dec 08

Here in Holland we celebrate two days of Christmas. The 25th and the 26th. On the 24th most businesses close earlier than usual. Considering it's tacked onto a weekend this year it's like a long weekend, which is good! Most times...

Do you use the rss that's available here?

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 8 Jun 08

I was wondering if any of the mylotters here use the rss feed they have available. I have it on and I can see the topics. I can sort them in any which way I like. The only thing is that there is no link in there. So when you see a...

Have you Baked a Cake in the Microwave?

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 8 Jun 08

I was replying to another discussion when I thought of this and decided to find out what you folks think about this. On some types of cake mixes I see that they say you can also prepare it in the microwave. I wonder if it's true...

Does anybody know about this holiday?

Hello my fellow MyLotters. Can you help me out today? I noticed on a list of holidays that this month is Iced Tea month. Did you know that? Have you seen or heard anything about it recently? Is this something you would actually...

Coincidence?

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 31 May 08

Did you ever wonder about things like this? This morning I happened to recall signing up for a free keychain on a website a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't take that long to put something into an envelope and post...

Commercials - not just a pee break?

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 29 May 08

I love to watch tv. Not so hot on the commercials though. Well most of them are pretty lame. But once in a while a really good one comes along and I almost wet myself laughing. Well maybe it's because commercials should be used...

The Big Bagel Debate

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 28 May 08

Well folks I see that there has not been a discussion about bagels for a while. And that's good because I'd like your views please. I prefer mine with cream cheese. A bit of smoked salmon is not something I'd sneeze at either. But...

Strange Habits

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 28 May 08

Yesterday I noticed the oddest thing. It was nice weather and I had my backdoor open for the fresh air. I don't own any cats anymore but am always willing to receive a nice cuddle when it's offered. Well all of a sudden a little...

Barr

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 26 May 08

Just heard today that Barr is also going to be a presidential candidate. What are your views on this? Is it a good thing or do you think that he shouldn't even be in there because everybody knows he'll never get elected?

What's Your Favorite Filling?

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 26 May 08

I like a bon-bon that has a filling. I prefer the soft creamy fillings. I'll even go for a fondant filling. What I don't like is if it has any hazelnuts in it. I don't mind almonds. Sometimes I like a cherry liquer. But my fave...

Plastic Ice Cream Tubs

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 25 May 08

Do you recycle stuff like this too? I never buy any of those tupper style storage boxes. I simply use the plastic tub the Ice Cream came in when it's finished and save them up in the cupboard. Then I just use a permanent marker...

Muffins or Cup Cakes?

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 25 May 08

Can anybody tell me what the difference is between Cup Cakes and Muffins? Is there a difference or is it just the same thing? In that past year or so supermarkets, here in Holland, have been adding "muffins" to their assortment...

What do you do to save money?

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 22 May 08

Here in Holland we've just been slapped with a ridiculous tax on the packaging of products. The producers just raise their prices to be able to pay it. So in the end it's not they who pay it but us. I don't understand why I should...

How much bad behaviour do you accept from a friend?

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 22 May 08

I have a friend who has a habit that is rather annoying. If something she regularly uses is discontinued, then she'll spend a lot of time trying to find it anyway. I'm talking about stuff like a certain brand of shampoo, a shade...

Frost or Fools?

Groceries or Gabbing?

aplaza @aplaza (630) • Netherlands 18 May 08

There is a type of behaviour at the supermarket that I find annoying. Somehow people who know each other and "apparantly" haven't been in contact lately find it necessary to "clog" up the aisles. Preferrably they use their...
