Another discussion by a friend on mylot about choosing a baby name got me thinking about middle names and how we get our names. Now in Greece, where I was born, it was (and still is) a custom for the new baby to be named after the...

eslproofreader I'm from the U.S., so I, of course, have a middle name. Actually, my mother did something rather unconventional in naming me after herself. That can cause quite a bit of confusion in a househole (compounded by the fact that my brother and uncle share a name as...

In my family here there are 3 browns and 2 greens. I love blue eyes but they seem rare. What are the most common eye colors? What color do you have?

eslproofreader My whole family has blue eyes - well, except for my step-sister who has one blue and one brown (so does my pit bull, Mimi- not that I'm comparing my dog to my step-sister :P).

eslproofreader Free time changed my life. I went to live in Spain for 3 years (with a non-working visa). I had always worked in the past (since I was 14). With so much free time on my hands, I was able to analyze and judge my life's course. It was disappointing and...

Weird right?,,but some people like some kinds of fisical pain,lik those that hang from hooks, do you like pain?..I like the pain from pimple popping! How about you??

eslproofreader Hey, you! I guess I love/hate when I have a dull ache in my teeth or gums. I hate the pain, but clenching down on it somehow makes me savor it. It's almost comforting.

eslproofreader Honestly, I think almost everyone does this (at least to me). It makes me hesitant to trust people. Even if they're not talking behind my back, I think they know that they can manipulate me to get what they want. Somehow, they can see my weakness- and I don't...

I've been going through my and my friends' old discussions and responses and marking the discussion topics and responses with the '+' ratings and the 'best responses'. Does this make a difference for my friends? If it does, I hope...

I was into it for a while, but I've become bored with it. I have only a handful of real mylot friends, and they're not terribly active. I also get frustrated with discussion topics posted by the general mylot public- and even more...

eslproofreader Hi, Maribea. I most definitely consider you a friend- you're one of the maybe three or four reasons I bother to visit mylot. Maybe if I put more effort into it, I'd get more out of it, too. Anyway, as always, I'm glad to hear from you.

eslproofreader I know what you mean, and I had to do the same. It wasn't easy, and, at first, I felt guilty about it. With time, I've realized that it was the only way to maintain my calm, focus, and sanity. Don't think that you'll be 'alone'; think that you'll be free from...

Okay I have had this argument so many times with some of my friends that I wanted to ask everyones opinion on mylot. To me there is a big difference between just loving someone and being "In Love" with someone. Some of my friends...

eslproofreader Being 'in love' with someone means that you do stupid, illogical things that you might live to regret later... Loving someone, I guess, means that you've gotten past the stupid stage and still feel a strong connection to that person.

Which trait would you prefer in a potential boyfriend or partner? Would you prefer that your potential partner have a sense of humor, charm or good looks? Assume that you could only pick one trait?

eslproofreader If I could pick only one (although I'm visually oriented), I'd have to say sense of humor. Anyone who can make me laugh has a much better chance in the long run...

Sometimes I feel lonely and isolated. Still, when I have the chance to make a new friendship, I distance myself. I just feel that I don't have the energy or patience for a real friend anymore. Most of the time I'm fine with this...

eslproofreader It's funny how when you're willing and even eager to be a good friend to someone, that is the person who blows you off and takes you for granted. Do we really have to play hard to get with friends? What's worse are controlling friends who place demands on you....

eslproofreader So, I just read some of your discussion topics, and they answered my question. I should have guessed by your username. As lonely as you may feel, at least you know that (at least) one other person feels the same way. Not much comfort, I know...

eslproofreader Well, do you think you are like this because you can pretty much entertain yourself most of the time, or is it more that people have hurt you in the past and any new relationships seem not worth it?

eslproofreader Maybe you can encourage him to get out more or invite a friend over. It must be depressing to get old, lose some of your independence, deal with illnesses. You have to listen to him, but you don't have to encourage his pessimistic behavior. Everyone knows that...
