Kindle vs. printed book

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 11 Jun 11

Would you rather buy a Kindle, or do you prefer to actually flip the pages of a hard-copy book? I know in my case, I refuse to buy a Kindle--there's no way I'm giving up the old-fashioned book. There's just something about holding...

Have you ever lived through a tornado or seen one from a distance?

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 4 May 11

I ask this because of the rash of tornadoes that hit the southeastern United States this past weekend, especially in Alabama. I vaguely remember when I was in kindergarten and there was a tornado about a block away from my school,...

Opinions on the "Twilight" series

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 27 Apr 11

I'm not exactly thrilled with these books. I've forced myself to read "Twilight" and "New Moon" and am now currently forcing myself through "Eclipse". For me, the more I read, the more I feel like strangling Bella for her utter...

Sewing vs. ready-made clothing

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 6 Jul 10

With the economy in a slump these days, it's gotten harder to splurge on the pricier clothing lines. My question is simply this: In order to save money, would you consider learning how to sew, or would you rather go to a discount...

Which hand--left or right?

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 9 Mar 10

This question is directed mainly at single women, but if you're married, think back to your single days. On which hand do you prefer to wear your rings, your left or your right? Which is more comfortable for you?

Interesting family facts

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 27 Feb 10

Hello, MyLotters! I was looking over some of my family history papers last night and I learned something interesting. Apparently, my family has descended from a Spanish king. I was simultaneously amused, surprised, and shocked...

Happy Mardi Gras!

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 12 Feb 10

Yes, folks, it's Mardi Gras season again. This Tuesday is Fat Tuesday, and all insanity is going to break free once again. If you celebrate Mardi Gras, what do you normally do? Go to parades? Hang out with...

Captain Phil Harris

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 10 Feb 10

I just read that one of the stars of the TV show "Deadliest Catch," Captain Phil Harris, is dead. I watch the show nearly every episode, and it's going to be very hard not seeing him being the skipper of the "Cornelia Marie." My...

Your profile pictures

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 6 Feb 10

Where do you normally get your profile pictures from? Do you take your own pictures and put them on here? I normally browse around on stock photo sites to get mine. There's an awesome number of sites to get pictures on.

I'm curious...were you adopted, or do you know anyone who was adopted? If you had the chance, would you adopt a child? I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to say on this subject.

Excessive question marks

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 13 Jan 10

This might seem to be a picky discussion, but I have to get this out. I've been seeing so many discussions that have a lot more than just one question mark at the end of them, and it's driving me crazy. Why is it that people feel...

Forgiving those who hurt you

coolcoder @coolcoder (2018) • United States 21 Dec 09

When I was younger, I would hold grudges for years before I was finally able to accept what happened to me, that it happened in the past, and to truly forgive. I don't take quite so long now. How long does it take before you...
