What Would Be Your Ideal Home?

Darkwing @Darkwing (21583) 26 Jan 07

I don't mean where you live now, unless that's the house you've always dreamed of. I would like a five-bedroomed house, with acres of land around it, a stream running through the bottom of the garden, and with a walled garden,...

What's your favorite song?

trouble4u2avoid @trouble4u2avoid (2915) • United States 26 Jan 07

I love listening to Stevie Nicks! I find her music very soothing and relaxing. I love all her music but Wild Heart is my favorite.

FalconFan59 The first song I can remember Stevie Nick singing was Rhiannon, which is one of my all time favourites. White Winged Dove comes a close second. The Eagle's New Kid in Town is another that I find easy to remember with a smile.

Diet or Regular?

MrNiceGuy @MrNiceGuy (4141) • United States 26 Jan 07

Which kind of soda do you prefer and why? I prefer Diet Cola because it just flat out tastes better. Its crisper and more refreshing than the goop that is regular cola.

FalconFan59 In Australian we can buy Diet Coke with Lime and this has become my favourite over regular Coke. To me it is not as sweet and a bit cleaner on the taste. Of course my wife keeps telling me that I shouldn't be drinking any of it!

Does it rarely snow where you live?

Tesa @xphile777 (427) • United States 25 Jan 07

It almost never snows here anymore, and it used to snow a lot. When I was growing up here in the 1960s, we'd get at least 4 or 5 snowfalls each winter, each averaging 6 to 12 inches. Now we're lucky if we get one snowfall of 2 or...

FalconFan59 I live in Western Australia and have never seen snow/sleet. It has hailed heavily once or twice in 47 years but now we are even getting less rain. It appears from our experience that global warming is a reality.

macubex @macubex (36) • Philippines 22 Jan 07

most people do not want to see there real faces in there avatar in MyLot, like me i don't like to post my real picture here maybe because of i want to have a privacy in life? So what is your reason to hide your faces to...

FalconFan59 Ok I admit it I haven't posted an avatar because I don't know how. I would prefer to have a picture of something that means something to me and keeps the old face out of everbody elses view. However for some people it really suits them.

FalconFan59 Thanks for the information. I suppose it makes sense though in that it encourages people to build on discussions and express views. Administering this site as it grows is going to be really interesting.

FalconFan59 One of the reasons I post in Mylot is to improve my ability to express myself on issues other than business. It is really sad how our conversational skills get lost through lack of use. I hope that that changes for the better with practice

Do you wonder why each generation is getting taller and taller?

sharone74 @sharone74 (4837) • United States 21 Jan 07

FalconFan59 Wow, that is strict. While I can understand people complaining if there were a lot of cars or parts in the yard but if they started fining people who like to work on older (classic?) cars in my city the police would do nothing else.
