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.

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 Hey, Friendship. I just accepted you- as you probably already know. I see that you live in Canada. Where are you from originally- or are you French Canadian? If you like those funny mistranslations, you should go where my friend above suggested:...

eslproofreader Great suggestion. I've actually taken a few atrocious manuals/handbooks and sent them to the companies with corrections (gratis, of course)hoping that some business would come my way... to no avail. There's even a commercial out now for over-active bladder, a...

eslproofreader I see that you're from the U.S.- that's good news if you want to teach abroad. Usually, being a native speaker is enough in a place such as Haiti- and they almost never expect you to know your host country's language. However, don't expect a great salary...

Don't you hate being an adult and still often feeling that something you've done, which, in reality, is nothing offensive at all will get you into 'big trouble'? I'm talking, smoking a cigarette that your spouse will later scold...

eslproofreader Thanks for your kind wishes. I'm no longer at a low point; I'm actually at a very good point in my life. It's all a matter of putting things into perspective and giving attention to what most deserves it, right?

eslproofreader Actually, I chopped up the wicked license out of fear that, somehow, the new boyfriend would come across it and run like the wind. I actually scared myself in that one. Hated having to show it on any occation- would pay cash if I thought I'd have to use the...
