What do Spaghetti and Driving have in common?

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16679) • Boston, Massachusetts 13 Nov 15

Well, not a lot. Unless you are in Massachusetts. Finally, I can once again be proud of my state for standing up for religious liberty. A court has ruled that a woman who calls herself a "Pastafarian" can wear a colander on her...

Daniel Garner Hahahah - I have read about that "religion" if you can call it that before so surprised it has come to something like this. I say each to their own, if she isn't effecting anyone, hurting anyone or causing any harm then let her be. Each person has a choice...

Are you superstitious?

Jo Ann @akalinus (43332) • United States 13 Nov 15

Today is Friday the 13th. Do you think that is unlucky or just another day? Do you have any superstitions or do you follow any sort of ritual for luck? Do you believe any of the old tales like if a dog howls, someone will die?...

Target What Are You Thinking??

cassandra @Castlerock34 (2259) • Minneapolis, Minnesota 13 Nov 15

Target here in the United States is going to be serving liquor while you shop, which is think is the worst idea. I feel like a lot of people in this country have a drinking problem as it is. Target promoting drinking while you...

Daniel Garner I think we (as the UK) are in the same boat and generally one or two drinks will turn into more with a headache in the morning but offering alcohol why you shop is asking for disaster.

How do I convince him to give up on his earrings?

alina @swissheart (6482) • Romania 13 Nov 15

my boyfriend has this stupid custom of wearing earrings. I feel that they represent some kind of a cover or a desperate cry for attention on a much deeper level than he realizes. but the fact is that for a while he gave up using...

Sorry Mylot Bubblews Still Has You On One Thing

Go Crossbones @crossbones27 (49703) • Mojave, California 12 Nov 15

Bubblews still allows you to say naughty words as far as I can tell. I am not sure of the rules on that. I am pretty sure it is a context thing. If you use the words in a disrespectful or degrading way.... I am pretty sure your...

Daniel Garner I agree, it's nice to have a laugh now and again but there are some people who take it too far and cause people to get seriously hurt. That, to me, isn't a prank.

Will you buy a sim card when you travel abroad?

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16679) • Boston, Massachusetts 11 Nov 15

Would a minimum word limit help to eliminate some 1 or 2 line posts on MyLot?

Ann LeFlore @poehere (15123) • French Polynesia 11 Nov 15
