mirror mirror on the wall, could you live without a mirror?

psychoartist @psychoartist (756) • United States 8 Jun 12

i recently saw a photograph in an interior design magazine, maybe, of a bathroom with no mirror over the sink, but rather a plaque stating, "you look fine". in the past few days we have been redecorating one of our bathrooms and...

Eucalyptus As much as I'd love to say that I could live without a mirror, unfortunately for me it is totally impossibly. Firstly, if I turn up to work looking a mess then my manager would not be impressed and in uniform, it would not be a good way of representing the...

help me out guys, should I subscribe to a magazine?

katrinapaz @katrinapaz (2436) • Philippines 29 May 12

hello there mylotters. I kind of have a problem that I have been contemplating for quite some time. I like to read the cosmopolitan magazine here in the Philippines. I like their articles a lot and the tips that they give. I asked...

Eucalyptus The best thing about subscriptions is that it's usually cheaper in the long term. They often offer a free gift when you sign up to, which can only be a good thing! I know that there are a lot of voucher codes and websites online that will even offer discounted...

Iphone 5 -Any News?

sweetgarg @sweetgarg (392) • India 23 May 12

I am waiting for iphone5 from last few months and i am really looking forward to buy. Do you people have any idea about iphone-5? when its gonna release? Features? Anything

4 responses

Eucalyptus At the moment, the new features are purely speculation. Many believe that the iPhone screen is simply too small now in comparison to various Samsung and HTC models, and that the screen will be bigger in order to compete. Release date is late summer - between...

How do you learn new things?

velhee @velhee (8) 28 May 12

There is so many things I would like to learn. But there is only so much time, and sometimes I'm just so exhausted that I just waste all my time to "entertainment" until I go to sleep. How do you study useful things and keep it...

Eucalyptus I used to feel like you. I'd get home from a long day at work and be far too tired to exert myself, yet at the same time I wanted more from life. I think the most important thing is deciding that you want to make a change and accept your realisation that you...

English stereotypes

NatashaBird @NatashaBird (640) 23 May 12

I'm currently writing a short satirical story about life in London, based on stereotypes of London and English people and was hoping some of you would give me some ideas as to what stereotypes people hold of us. I have a fair...

Eucalyptus Firstly, there's the stereotype that we all drink tea from china teapots with china cups and use sugar lumps - and that we speak like the Queen. Secondly, there's the stereotype that we all sound like something out of an Oliver musical - typically cockney...

Eucalyptus He isn't retiring as such, he's just retiring from the action movie genre. When you take into account his experience, filmography, age and reputation - not to mention the injuries he's had over the years, I think this is a good time to call the action genre a...

Eucalyptus I don't really have a fear as such, although I did live in a flat above a woman who used to keep setting her flat on fire - she was later found dead within a few days of being dead. I have no idea how she died but at the same time I often wonder how she didn't...

Death Sentence versus Life Imprisonment

tigershark @tigershark (202) • United States 26 May 12

Which would you choose? I often like playing first-person shooters, but for some reason, I can't come to think about killing a prisoner. I'd rather think that he/she should contemplate his acts, and spend the rest of his life away...

Eucalyptus This is a difficult question and the answer is purely dependent on an individual's vision and perception of the abstract notion of justice. By choosing the death penalty, you are depriving the offender of their right to life as punishment for the crime that...

Freedom of speech or....? The Joey Barton Debate

Nero11 @Nero11 (316) 15 May 12

Joey Barton - should he shut up? Appreciate Twitter is a fabulous tool for freedom of speech but is Joey doing himself any favours? He lost it against City and I don't think anyone can argue what he did following his sending off...

Eucalyptus There's no justifying his behaviour - full stop. His behaviour both offline and online is not sportsman-like in the slightest and he should be ashamed of his behaviour. I personally think with his track record that he should not be allowed to play football....

Eucalyptus I couldn't freakin' agree with you more!! Cena will SMASH John Laurinaitis, providing that he doesn't carry on with his under-hand tactics which he gets away with simply because he is GM! I personally think that this is a storyline which will end up with Teddy...
