Panhandling

Colene @cpefley (1926) • San Jose, California 16 Sep 17

So I have been trying to start from rock bottom, and it has been hard. I have a long way to go, but I have 3 of my kids with me renting a room. I use some apps on my phone to make money. One of them is Job Spotter. Basically,...

bystander I admire your resolve in addressing your survival challenges. Genuinely, I do. Imagine the hardship you must face everyday in your life -- "so many kids, no money, no car, no real home and I just made 36 cents... " -- and still you keep your dignity intact by...

Yesterday my parents bought me one of these. I wasn't too sure about it as I have given up pretty much with alternative medicine and my health. I would of rather had the £35 in cash for bills rather than try yet another...

Ann LeFlore @poehere (15123) • French Polynesia 17 Sep 17

On MyLot so many people talk about goals, earning, and how much they need to make pay out. I normally don’t pay much attention to this when I am here. I am too busy playing catch up to look at my earnings. I know they sit there at...

Would You Rather Buy a Townhouse or a Condominium Unit?

Artgirl @owstalaga (4707) • Philippines 1 Sep 15

So I've been thinking, what are your choices when buying a place to live in? Excluding the house and lot option, would you buy a townhouse unit or a condominium unit? The condominium units are booming here right now. And I'm also...

Sorry seems to be the hardest word?

eynjel_1988 @eynjel_1988 (330) • Philippines 8 Aug 11

Why is it hard for us sometimes to say sorry for those people who've we hurt? I guess simply because we can't admit the fact that we committed a mistake from someone which we do not really intend to do.Sometimes it takes time for...

bystander many times in my long-ago past, it is really difficult, if not impossible to say sorry... but maturity takes over, a better understanding of human relationships prevail, and the having quality relationships becomes a priority... you know, eynjel, one of the...

Amber @AmbiePam (92789) • United States 22 Sep 10
