Is It Your Opinion That Directors of Kiddie Movies Are Kids Themselves?

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 4 Sep 08

Okay I had started a discussion asking if fellow MyLotters would admit though while being a sophisticated "adult" if they watch kids movies. Then I thought of another angle to kiddie movies and shows in general...and even could...

bdankanich Honestly, I think that the writers/directors/producers of most of the recent children's movies are just out to sell merchandise. It used to be that Hollywood created great children's films and the popularity of those films resulted in successful...

Do you really want to be friends with everyone?

Oneironaut @_sketch_ (5742) • United States 4 Sep 08

I get so many friendship requests now. Almost every day I get one and I know that this is the same story for a lot of mylotters. I was just wondering what you do when someone asks to be your friend. Do you automatically accept...

bdankanich I don't have this dilemma because I don't get friend requests? Maybe it's because I haven't been here long, or maybe people just don't like me. : (.

bugbaby @bugbaby (1787) • Indonesia 5 Sep 08

hi... if George Clooney or some hot actor or maybe Angelina Jollie that you like invited you to his/her bedroom and there was no way in the world you could get caught, would you go? My wife and I were watching TV on day where a...

bdankanich I prefer rock stars. But I think fantasizing about them is much more fun than actually sleeping with them. You know how it is, when you build something up in your mind, it's never as good as you imagined it. Also, I think the sleeping with someone is always...

Why shouldn't men cry?

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 4 Sep 08

What really is wrong with crying? Why shouldn't men and women cry? It does a person a world of good to get something off his chest through crying. It is a way, and an effective way, of releasing inner disatisfactions, frustrations...

bdankanich It depends. A man crying at the death of a loved one is one thing, but if guys cried over every little thing (like some women do) well, that would be a bit over the top, don't you think? Actually, I think some women cry too much. Some people are just too...

The United States is crumbling brick by brick!

grammasnook @grammasnook (1871) • United States 4 Sep 08

While surfing the net last night I ran across this "Hot Topic" I read many posts with people of so many opinions about the "mortgage crisis" and the bail out. The complaints of the subprime mortgage companies and so on. I do...

bdankanich I don't believe that the banks should be bailed out for loaning sub prime mortgages. In many ways, I feel like those of us who had the sense to not take out this type of loan are being punished. My husband and I don't own a home. We've been saving for a...

bdankanich The cost, the stink, the health problems. I'm an ex-smoker. I quit ten years ago. My parents still smoke, and when I visit them, the first thing I notice is how bad it smells. Smokers have no idea. It gets into your clothes, your hair and everything you own....

bdankanich I try to avoid eating in front of the computer and TV. It's bad news. I tend to overeat if I do it while doing other things. The best way to lose weight is to only allow yourself to eat at the dinning room table.

Has your child ever swallowed anything that isnt suppose to be swallowed?

Ithink @Ithink (9980) • United States 4 Sep 08

bdankanich No, but my children have been known to stick things in their ears. Once my son had a bunch of those Styrofoam beans from a bean bag chair in his ear!

bdankanich The best way to deal with people like this is to AVIOD them. I keep all my neighbors at arms length. It's dangerous to get to close and let them know too much about your personal life. The only was to co-exist is to not fall into the trapping of their...

tlb0822 @tlb0822 (1410) • United States 3 Sep 08

I recently started watching my fiances niece. His sister has told me that if she is bad to spank her. I personally don't feel right discipling another persons child in that way. I do time out, or tell her that she can no longer...

bdankanich I feel weird disciplining other people's children. This is why I don't like to babysit. I also don't like it when other people discipline MY children. Unless it's their teacher or a babysitter. But I get annoyed when someone thinks they have a right to...

Is patience the right way to get success in earning from ptc sites?

bdsurf @bdsurf (703) 3 Sep 08

If you ask me, I will say you absolutely. I can consider the days of 4 months ago. I just joined in some ptc sites . When I joined it seems to me that I need to wait for 1-3 month to reach the payment. Now, I just hold my patience...

bdankanich Yes, and I'm afraid I'm not patient enough to stick with any of them. I did make some money from GPT sites, where you get paid to try offers. And I was making a lot of money in gift cards though Net Winner before they decided to start scamming everyone.

Are you always successful at resisting temptations?

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 3 Sep 08

For the past few weeks, the biggest temptation is the internet. I want to be online all the time. Even if I should be doing something else that is important, I just think about getting online - well, I am able to focus on other...

bdankanich I'm new here, but from what I've seen so far, I doubt anyone could make a living at this! It's okay for a little extra pocket change. I love message boards and was posting on them all the time for free, so I figured why not make some pennies while posting. As...

What are the best ways to stop smoking?

Stephanie5 @Stephanie5 (2946) • United States 16 Mar 07

I'm 29 years old and I've been smoking since I was 7. Yes, 7 years old. My mother used to buy them for me-she thought it was "cute". Well, it's not so cute now. I haven't quit one time since I started. I NEED to quit for my...

Restricting Children's Diets

lauriefnp @lauriefnp (5109) • United States 16 Mar 07

bdankanich I think restricting a child's diet will likely develop an unhealthy attitude about food. We desire what we can't have. So to forbid foods (assuming there are no allergies or medical reasons to do so) will only make those foods more tempting, thus creating a...
