@bayernfan on myLot

Hello all. I live in a tiny, one room apartment in the middle of NYC. I would LOVE to be able to grow some veggies or flowers or something. I have one window sill that I can put planters on but that's about it. I'm looking for...

bayernfan How much room do you have? The size of the planter will be an important consideration when making a decision about what vegetables to grow. Pretty much any vegetable that grows in a garden can be cultivated in a pot too. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, green...

What type of things do you look for in a friend. Maybe a good sense of humor is important? Perhaps you search for people with a friendly temperament? Do your friends need to be good listeners or have excellent communication...

A busy weekend for me to say the least. Nice warm, sunny weather brought out the garden tools and gloves. I transplanted Hostas and Day Lilies and set them around my Red Maple tree out front. It will look really nice in another...

bayernfan Yes I do. I have gardens and flower beds around tress and under bushes in my yards. There is a lot of landscaping work that I still have to do and much of it isn't even related to flowers. There is a low spot in the backyard that needs to be built up because...

Do you use myLot exclusively, or are you an active member on other social networking sites as well? Do you find that you are using other social networking sites, such as Facebook or MySpace, less now that you are a member of...

bayernfan The membership on myLot, for the most part, is very courteous. In the least, treatment towards one another here is civil. I haven't seen the type of personal attacks here on myLot that have taken place on other boards. I think that this is a credit to both...

bayernfan It isn't easy to operate or administer a forum. Having a successful forum isn't easy to attain either. Sometimes you may be able to attract enough people and things might seem to be going well. This is just a portion of the battle. Retaining membership and...

bayernfan They are all social networking sites, but that doesn't mean that they operate in a similar manner. Some aspects of individual sites may be the same, and they may even borrow specific features from one another, but different sites often employ unique...

bayernfan Well, that is certainly one of the great advantages to using myLot rather than other sites. Getting paid to converse with others is a wonderful bonus. One might want to engage in discussions on other non-paying forums because that is where specific topics are...

bayernfan Cinemas do a better job of combating against this than they did several years back. It got pretty bad about a decade ago. Of course it was dependent upon what the film was and, therefore, who was likely to attend the show. When the film is playing is a major...

bayernfan No problem. Asking for advice and help is the right thing to do if you are unsure. What better place to do this then myLot, right? It can be overwhelming trying to make a purchase when you are unfamiliar with terms and options. "Refurbished" is a purposefully...

bayernfan What one considers, and who one considers, a troll can be subjective. mysdianit provided a link with a good definition. I think that anyone trying to bait others with the intent to ruin their online experience is a troll. Someone who misuses or abuses the...

bayernfan Well, drawing people into a discussion by pushing their buttons can be an effective tactic. I am not sure how much myLot rewards members for doing this though. The initial post from the OP doesn't have to be worthwhile for the rest of the discussion to be good...

bayernfan Yes, I have walked out of a store due to poor service. You and your father are more patient than I. I won't bother with a run around, instead I'll forgo a purchase or look elsewhere. If prices aren't clearly marked, then I am likely to take a pass. I like to...

bayernfan You are most welcome. You are probably right. For most people it is best to get items with a significant warranty length included. It can also depend on how much risk one is willing to absorb, how much of a price reduction has been given and whether or not you...

bayernfan Refurbished is a term with broad definition. It is not always apparent what process the product has undergone in order to return it to "like new" condition. Sometimes it is only a matter of replacing the packaging. Other times the product might have been sent...
