Can you keep your friend's deepest secrets?

davidsanchez @davidsanchez (44) • Philippines 27 Aug 08

jomom75 @jomom75 (90) • Canada 26 Aug 08

deedavis I went through that phase as well and there was nothing my mom could say to me to help me feel any differently about myself. One thing I know for sure is that those feelings did not come out of nowhere. They were triggered by comments that were made to me by...

"MyLot is a scam!"

rosedust82 @rosedust82 (2066) • Philippines 22 Aug 08

...And I quote... I was looking across a review made by someone on a certain site and while I was reading it, I was thinking to myself "Huh??!" The introduction alone was all wrong saying that MyLot had about a...

gr8life @gr8life (6251) • Malaysia 18 Aug 08

Hi All, I have a colleague who seems to know everything. You just mention a topic, and she will tell you about it from A to Z. When I first knew her, I was glad to know that I have a very smart friend but at the end, I started...
