cocoanana I haven't done any work as a psychic and I don't even know that I consider myself psychic per se, but I go through periods where I see a lot and just know certain things about the people and happenings around me. Does that make any sense? It's not a constant...

Friends are just family that we find along the way.

I just read a discussion from Eaforeman6, http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1099719.aspx that made me stop and think about this. My wife is only very close to her immediate family and has very little to do with the rest of her...

So how do you decide on topics for new discussions?

cocoanana @cocoanana (94) • United States 26 May 07

I just recently joined myLot and so far, I love it! I've responded to several discussions but haven't started my own until now. I jsut haven't been able to think of anything original, even after reading the tips in the FAQ. So I...

cocoanana Actually, I think you're onto something there. Sometimes the first idea that pops into your head is the best, know what I mean? So what if your titles sound weird - at least you're out there making new friends! :)

cocoanana That's actually what I've been doing these past couple days; checking the few discussions I've started for new people, then going to see what discussions they've started and respond to them. I still haven't come up with many more new discussion ideas, but I've...

What is the age that you consider as being "Old"?

cathiesblogg @cathiesblogg (753) • United States 28 May 07

Funny when I was a teen I thought that when a person reached 30, they were old..now that I am 45..I think a person is old when they are maybe 75 or so..

cocoanana Well, "old" people are seeming younger to me all the time now, if that makes any sens. Like so many others I thought 20 was old when I was a child, I thought 35-40 was old when I was a teen/young adult, but now I think old is somewhere in the 70's-80's. Of...

You are never too old

winterose @winterose (39887) • Canada 27 May 07

You are never too old to follow your dreams How many of you agree with this expression. I believe that yes there are certain things that you are too old to start at any advanced age, they say that unless you start ballet...

cocoanana I completely agree with you. There are some things that you can't really start at an advanced age, like the ballet dancing you gave as an example. But there's so many other things you can start later on - like education, foster parenting, teaching and other...

Is working two jobs selfish?

toe_ster @toe_ster (770) • United States 29 May 07

If one parent chooses to work two jobs, is it being selfish? I am not taking it for granted. I acknowledge the sacrifice, but isn't it being selfish to the kids? There are alternatives an other parents work it out. Both parents...

cocoanana I don't think working more than one job is selfish. Yes, it can make it difficult to spend time with kids/family but sometimes more than one job is necessary to make ends and help the family to have a better life. And sometimes working a lot is how a person...

What kind of car did you learn to drive in?

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 28 May 07

My dad taught me how to drive in our yellow 1977 Chevy Vega. It was an automatic with the shift on the floor. It was a nice little car, I wish they still made them.

cocoanana I leanred how to drive mostly on a 1980 Chevy Cavalier station wagon that my parents had. They also had me practice driving on their 1982 Chevy Citation, which later became more or less my car when I got my license and they bought a new car. Both had automatic...

What was the first car you ever owned?

Gumball @Gumball (793) • United States 28 May 07

Mine wasn't a car, it was a used 3/4 ton pickup truck. After I sold that a couple of years later, I bought a used hearse. :D Ok, technically it wasn't really an actual hearse but it had been used to transport bodies from nursing...

cocoanana The first car I ever drove regularly was a 1982 Chevy Citation which actually belonged to my parents. Then when my husband and I were engaged we bought a 1991 Ford Festiva so I guess that's the first car I actually owned. It was really small and had a tiny...

I remember having mashed potato sandwiches, oatmeal sandwiches, gravy sandwiches, etc. Just about anything spreadable was made into a sandwich. Let me know what you did.

cocoanana I was a very picky kid. I didn't like anything green and I didn't like different foods touching each other on my plate. My parents were driven crazy by my pickiness, having to push my food waaaaaay apart so I'd even try it. And more often than not, I wouldn't...

Hazel Funcion @Zelmarq (12585) • Cebu City, Philippines 28 May 07

cocoanana Well, I really try to not let what other people say get to me. What they think shouldn't really matter; I should be confident in myself, right? And I am for the most part, but sometimes what others say about me does bother me. I think it's mostly the idea that...
