StephanieAnnC @StephanieAnnC (4274) • United States 24 Jul 11

You're supposed to drink 8 - 10 glasses of water. Approximately 8 ounces each. But for me, that is so hard.I just...don't like water! It's not the greatest tasting! I'm trying to drink more of it though because I know I need to....

Aurone This is a great discussion for me today, because I am making a renewed effort to get my 8 glasses of water a day. I usually drink flavored water of some type like propel or crystal light. I hate the taste of plain water and the water where I live has too much...

Pet hair spun into yarn?

OpinionatedLady @OpinionatedLady (5965) • United States 13 Apr 11

So I took my kids to a basket weaving class over the weekend and my friend (who teaches this) was talking about how she is saving the hair from when she brushes her horse to spin into yarn (she does this with her sheep and is...

Aurone I saw a news feature about this on tv some time ago. There is a lady out there who makes purses out of pet hair and actually makes a good living spinning peoples pet's hair into keepsakes.

Do you like to read the book if you have already seen the movie?

Porcospino @Porcospino (31366) • Denmark 4 May 11

Yesterday I borrowed the book behind the movie "Shutter island". I liked the movie a lot and when I discovered that there was a book as well, was excited and decided to read it. I started reading it, and I like the story, but one...

Aurone Sometimes I see movies where I loved the book, and sometimes I read the book of movies that I really enjoyed. I am usually disappointed in a movie if I read the book first, the only two movies that I can think of that are up to par with the books are Interview...

Can you wear a sterling silver chain and medallion in the shower. . .

Suzieqmom @Suzieqmom (2755) • United States 8 May 11

or will it tarnish or otherwise gets damaged over time? I know you can wear gold jewelry without too much risk in the shower, or even in a pool, but I am not sure about silver. Does anyone know when/where/how often it is safe to...

Aurone I wear a silver pendant and chain almost every day. I sleep in it and shower in it. I haven't had too much problem with tarnish. After a great long while the chain tarnished (but can be remedied with a toothpaste cleaning) and the pendant has never tarnished....

This is my friends story..She and her boyfriend have been together for 4 years now and She just told me that she doesn't like him like before..but she feels that he likes her a lot. She already tried to break up with him couple...

Aurone If she doesn't love him then she needs to break up with him and move on. The longer she waits the worse it is going to be and the more miserable she is going to be. I couldn't stay with someone just because they loved me. I would have to love them in return.

Aurone At least she didn't give birth in your bed. A friend was telling me how one morning they woke up to their cat giving birth on the other side of the bed. Talk about your wake up call!

I Guess I Should Feel Flattered When Someone Digs Up An Old Discussion...But

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 26 Jul 10

I supposed this has happened to each and everyone of us here at MyLot. Somehow, someone will dig up an old discussion, and when I mean old, I'm not talking about from a few months ago, but YEARS ago. I guess...

Aurone I have had that happen a time or two. It is kind of nice on one hand but it also reminds how long we all have been here. When discussions lose their relevancy like that (like all my discussions about my ex husband) it makes me wish we could delete them. They...

cross-stitch project

daeckardt @daeckardt (6237) • United States 20 Feb 11

I started a large cross-stitch project when I was in China. I was never able to complete one successfully when I was in America because the canvass was blank and I could never keep track of where I was on the pattern. The ones I...

Aurone I cross stitch a lot and have never heard if anything like that except for the stamped cross stitch which has the pattern already printed on it. Which you can still buy at crafting stores and sites. There is such a thing as waste canvass which you can use to...

want to make a wedding gift... suggestions?

gfeef01 @gfeef01 (537) 13 Feb 11

going to a wedding this summer and wanted to take a hand made appropriate gift, but i'm stuck for ideas. I need to fly out there with it, so it can't be too bulky but it's a family wedding so it needs to be something decent. Cash...

Aurone If you quilt at all you could make up squares before the wedding and have the guests sign them and write messages on them then you could take the squares back home and make a quilt out of it and mail it to them later? Or if you want to cross stitch...

Be Careful Of The Avatar You Use

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 19 Feb 11

Many of you may wonder why I'm not using my usual crystal gazing black cat avatar. I've used that photo when I first came across it around 2003--I've used it even before I had my own computer. What struck me about that photo was...

Aurone I think it is the best movie that I have seen this year. I really hope that it wins the Best Picture Oscar because it so deserves it. That said. It is a very dark movie that is not for the faint of heart or anyone easily effected. My friend and I saw it when...

Has anyone read the Kushiel Books by Jacqueline Carey?

caecal07 @caecal07 (197) • United States 17 Sep 10

I love this series. It has a lot of twists and turns and some very unusual characters. I love how descriptive and inventive Carey is. Has anyone else read these books? If you have what is your opinion of the subject and writing...

Aurone I have read the first two or three in the series, I have been meaning to go back and re-read the series and read the newer books. I quite enjoy the characters in these novels, although the subject matter might be a bit much for some, but I think it is a very...

One God Without Religion

Secret @IntrovertShy (2780) • Marikina, Philippines 13 Sep 10

Can we believe in one God without religion? All people around the world are praising one God, but their Gods have different names, so why do we need to have a religion if people around the world believe in one God? I told mom that...

Aurone I personally don't think it is as important to have a religion as it is to have a faith. I think you need to believe in something to get you through the hard times and to give you something to believe in, in this world. I don't think there is one true...

Dallas Cowboys-Washington Redskins

reeree63 @reeree63 (27) • United States 12 Sep 10

Hey Cowboys fans. I know the game(Cowboys and Redskins)is a few minutes from starting but I just had a sick notion. Would it not be an ironic twist of fate if the Redskins end up playing in the Superbowl at Cowboys Stadium instead...

Aurone Well after watching the Dallas/Redskins game this evening unless the Cowboys clean up their act it won't be them playing in the Superbowl, and I doubt it will be the Eagles either as I gleefully watched them get beaten by the Packers this afternoon. I am not a...
