Which Do You Prefer? Quicky Shower or Long Bath?

miraclefreebies @miraclefreebies (3043) • United States 24 Aug 10

Although I regularly do both, I do feel more relaxed after I take a long hot bath. I don't mean long like two hours, but more like 30-45 minutes, because if I go any longer I will end up drowning from going to sleep in the...

arikiya I love both! There's nothing more relaxing than a nice, hot bath, but I have to shower after a bath because I can't stand the thought that I just marinated myself in dirty water after a long day at work!

Christmas gifts

missybear @missybear (11391) • United States 23 Nov 08

Besides giving presents to you children if you have little ones, do you exchange presents between you and your honey? Money has been tied in the last few years and we are getting older so there is not that much under the tree...

arikiya I'm the same, I always try to at least get one nice gift for my honey. It is nice to at least have something to open on Christmas, and that's the fun of it - not necessarily getting something, but watching someone else get something they really like, even if...

I read one topic here, about how new members in MyLot just don't post a good enough topic, sometimes even only 1 line discussion, just to earn some money here. Complaining, that the quality of discussion here has decreased. I...

arikiya It is sad how low some people will stoop to make some cash at sites like this, when you can see several other people genuinely making an effort. It will catch up to him eventually though, he'll get caught. They always do, you just have to wonder how long it...

Have you ever gone to visit someone and felt so unwelcomed?

sudalunts @sudalunts (5523) • United States 23 Nov 08

Several years ago, before I was married to my husband, we decided to visit his father in Colorado. When my husband called to say we were coming, his step mother answered the phone, and instead of being happy that we were coming,...

arikiya My ex husband's mother was a lot like this when we first got together, but she eventually warmed up and we're actually pretty close now, even though her son and I have been split up for some time. I guess some people are just like that, and sometimes you get...

Well, it happened again. Mother forgets her baby in the back seat

dragon54u @dragon54u (31634) • United States 21 Aug 08

When she got into her van after work yesterday in Cincinnati, the mother noticed her 11 month old baby in the back seat, dead from being in the car all day when the temps reached 90 degrees. What should be done with people like...

arikiya I think they should be sterilized ANd put in jail. I will NEVER understand how a parent just "forgets" their child. Before my girls started school I had them with me almost constantly - and when I DID manage to get a sitter for work or date night, I couldn't...

Do you or did you brush your toddler's teeth?

Amy @artemis432 (7474) • Abernathy, Texas 20 Aug 08

Do you brush your toddlers teeth - if so - how often? I try at least twice a day and after sugary snacks. Mine doesn't like his top front teeth brushed -the ones that really seem to need it but doesn't mind the rest. I also don't...

Do you think Marriage is real necessity in life?

subha12 @subha12 (18441) • India 21 Aug 08

I am asking for all. do you think people who are happy to be single, need to be married too? I think its the way the society portray the things, If you are not married, you are looked down. People get much worried when are you...

arikiya Nope. I think just like anything else, marriage and relationships will differ from person to person. I know several people who have been married many years and are happy, and still several other people have never married their partner but been together a long...

kayedanda @kayedanda (1850) • Philippines 20 Aug 08

arikiya Omgosh, she's a doll! I think unless you don her in nothing but pink though, people are going to keep saying "he" instead of knowing she's a girl - and even still some dingbats would probably do it lol. It's just really hard to tell sometimes with babies, and...

arikiya Mothers for the most part are fairly easy to please - all you really have to do is make a phonecall, or like someone else said, leave a note. Heck, the next time you go see her, stop and pick some flowers for her. As long as you give her a reminder every now...

Do You Find This Part of Nemo Disturbing, Too?

highlyclever @highlyclever (1111) • United States 19 Aug 08

I may be a little particular, but there is one part of Finding Nemo that I (as a parent) find a little bit disturbing every time I watch it. No, it's not the monstrous sharks or Darla... it's the part where Marlin swims in as Nemo...

Are you Good in telling Jokes?

poohgal @poohgal (6845) • Singapore 28 Dec 07

arikiya lol, I'm HORRIBLE at telling jokes. I'm pretty good at smart-alecky one-liners, but I always forget an important part of a joke and have to backtrack... so I usually don't even try to tell them anymore.
