I am from "old generation" in mylot?

icesmile @icesmile (7160) • Romania 5 Jan 10

Not because of age, just because i saw in mylot profile, that almost 50% from my friends are not here any more; where are they? all are gone? or just change theirs nicknames? I don t say that new people from mylot are not nice...

ethanmama Hmmm, I think I am from an old generation too, since the last time I was active was way back 2008. I just decided that it might be a good idea to revisit Mylot. Anyway, this is my first post here after a long sojourn, so thanks for making me want to reply!...

Do you prefer digital or analog watches?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 1 Apr 08

I think most of us have watches. Assuming you have not relegated the role of timekeeper to your mobile phone, you would likely be wearing a watch when you are out of the house. What is your favorite type of watch? A digital one...

ethanmama I prefer analog watches. They look more elegant and seem to be more durable too!

ethanmama I was brought up not to waste any food unless it was already spoiling. We do eat leftovers, if there are any. If I were the one doing the cooking, I would try to cook just enough so there won't be leftovers but sometimes things don't always go as planned --...

What will you use you MyLot money for?

kingcrapper @kingcrapper (1536) • United States 10 Mar 08

It is nice to have the extra cash but have you already created a plan to use it before you actually get it? Will it be spent to catch up on a bill or two? Are you going to save it for a special event in the future? Or is it just...

ethanmama I would just pool all my earnings, whether online or offline, and just just it whenever the need arises. I do not have any particular plan for my mylot earnings.

Will you give up your freedom for a life of luxury?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 10 Mar 08

We are not talking about literal slavery involving chains and shackles here. Instead, it is something more... abstract. Imagine if in exchange for freedom, you will be housed in enviable accommodation, served by dozens of...

ethanmama Your query made me think of the wives and concubines of the Emperors of China. My answer would be no. If I want a beautiful house, dozens of servants, designer clothes and whatnot, I'd rather work for them and if I cannot afford them, then I'll settle for just...

ethanmama The right time is if you've found the right person already and you both are emotionally, financially and physically ready for marriage. Age is just a number and it's different for different people.

dtroas @dtroas (479) • United States 8 Mar 08

I was 24 years old when I had my first child. And was still lost on a few things. Just was wondering how old most people are. Lame Question I know but just popped in my head!

ethanmama I don't think it's a lame question at all! I married late, at 34, got pregnant right away and gave birth via emergency c section at 35 years of age. I'm now 37 and we're hoping for another child before I hit 40. Even if I was already an older mom and a doctor,...

If you have cold and flu, do you take medicines for relief?

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 7 Mar 08

4 days ago, I was down with a terrible cold and flu. You know, the usual symptoms - runny nose, sore throat, headache and cough. I didn't have any fever though so I rely on water therapy and herbal teas. If possible, I always...

ethanmama Hi Charms88. Well, we all know that colds and flu are generally viral and there is really no cure for it. Increasing fluid intake, like what you're doing, is a good way to decrease cold and flu symptoms. Steam inhalation for clogged nose are also good. I'm...

Do you think it's better to be an only child, or have siblings?

inkaholic @inkaholic (21) • United States 5 Mar 08

I am one of 4 children, and I come from a huge family. A lot of my good friends are only children, and they seem to prefer it. Are you an only child, or do you have brothers and sisters? Which would you prefer?

ethanmama I have 2 brothers, but sometimes I wish I had more siblings. When something happens in the family, whether good or bad, it's always best that you have people to rely on, and the more siblings you have, the more people to help and to share in good times and in...

Do you munch your food slowly or gobble everything up?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 5 Mar 08

Do you know that spending 1-2 hours during meals promote good health? Experts say that if you take time to munch your food slowly, there are at least 2 direct benefits. The first is that the more mashed up the food is, the less...

ethanmama I definitely eat slowly. My family has been known to complain about my (lack of) speed in eating. I always give the excuse that it is better for digestion and I will avoid becoming fat. But they don't buy it. :)

ethanmama It really depends on what the controversy is about. If the controversies are about being gay or having some "goofing around with girlfriends" pictures, well, those are really not what this contest is all about. I guess that's just showbiz, these contestants...
