Do you prefer to stop a taxi on the road or call one to pick you up?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140157) • Philippines 3 Sep 16

During the old days, it is easy to have a cab by waving your arm and let them stop. However, it is becoming not possible these days. Grab a taxi app is far better than the old-fashioned way. I assume the number of taxis decreases...

What Can I Write

Ruby Hawk @RubyHawk (99405) • Atlanta, Georgia 2 Sep 16

That's what I'm saying as I finish answering my comments. I tried to think of something interesting but I suppose I didn't have a very interesting day, other than I worked on my quilt top. That was actually interesting. Laying out...

I always wanted a unique name, my name always seemed so ordinary. So I always wanted to give my children unique names. My eldest son's name is Guard. My husband (who isn't my eldest sons dad) wouldn't let me name my second son...

I'm doing ME these past few days

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104628) • United States 13 Aug 16

I am not quite sure how active I've been here lately. It seems I am offline (from this site atleast) more than online. I've had a walk every other day (except for yesterday) and it's really helped improve my overall health. I...

Here is the second extract from my father's WW2 (1939-1945) memoirs, but don't worry if you didn't read the first one. It can be read on it's own. These are my father's own words. "After being in France for a while without sight...

I'm not one to complain about the weather. If it gets too cold, I go to my condo in Florida. If it gets too hot, I stay inside my a/c home. However, I'm complaining now! This morning I returned from my 6 mile morning walk,...

Betty Redd Hi. I can understand about the hot weather with humidity it makes a person just want to stay inside. Staying in the shade is hard unless you can find a different path where there are trees provide a lot shade. Mainly I stay inside when the weather is hot due...

Sometimes, is it best to say Nothing?

Peter B. Giblett @pgiblett (6524) • Canada 22 Jan 16

MyLot is here with the intent that people discuss topics raised. I am amazed how little people engage with others and pick up the topic in question. Further what is the point of raising a discussion if you subsequently fail to...

Betty Redd The heat wave has been here too in Michigan. I am staying inside since the humidity is just too much. Michigan needs more rain to help the flowers and the plants to perk up. Usually in the morning the birds are up singing in the morning.I have not heard them...

Do Things Happen By Chance Or By Fate?

Elizabeth M. Archut @ellagotnailed (94) • El Paso, Texas 11 Aug 16

I've always wondered about this. Have you ever noticed events and people and things that happen always seem to feel as if they were meant to be. Maybe they are just coincidences, or perhaps fate has taken into account. Whatever it...

I Have A Bed...

Teresa Trotter @teresatrotter (4073) • Jacksonville, Florida 11 Aug 16

It has been two years since I had an actual bed to sleep on. When I lost all my belongings, I ended up sleeping in my car for one year and ten months. It was a hard life. The winters were bitter cold, and the summers were...

Betty Redd I think that you finally got a bed of your own makes your self-esteem fill much better. I too have been without a bed for about six months until I too got the help. Living on the streets or in a car is a real rough way to live. I hope you will be able to...

"Reason" option when staff take down discussions/posts

Joel7050 @Joel7050 (125) • Singapore, Singapore 11 Aug 16

I think a great idea for myLot would be for there to be a "reason" option when staff take down discussions/posts. Instead of your discussion simply disappearing without you knowing, you get a notification it has been removed, with...

Betty Redd I think its a great idea so a writer can understand why their post is taken down. Most people want to know what is going on with their work. This might give writers an idea about making a design for this reason option and to make this user friendly
