gailseymour @gailseymour (20) 9 Feb 10

Just wondering if there are any other Helilum writers hanging out on MyLot? I've been writing there for a little over 3 months (joined on 30th October 2009) I've written 166 articles, sold 5 through marketplace and made a little...

Life's too short for dumb exams

gailseymour @gailseymour (20) 14 May 07

Am I the only one who thinks life's too short for dumb exams? I don't mean the exams which are an integral part of a course of study, or qualification, but the catch all, 'key skills' stuff we're subjected to in the UK these...

gailseymour Yeah, and the best part is I'll have to do it all again next year. They say it's 'embedded on the course.' Lovely. Maybe next year they'll progress beyond basic punctuation and spelling and move on to comprehension? (And maybe then they'll be able to make me...

The Age of Old

Modestah @Modestah (11179) • United States 14 May 07

At what age does one become old? Are you old yet? I used to think 50 was old, but now that I am in my 40's fifty does not seem that very old anymore. Is old an age we become or is it a state of mind that we adopt? Does it...

gailseymour You know I'm really not so sure about that. Before returning to college in September as a 'mature' student, I was pretty much the youngest of my crowd. My partner is 8 years older than me, and both of my sisters are older than me, and I always felt like a...

When buying something handmade....

maildumpster @maildumpster (3815) • United States 10 May 07

.... do you expect it to be perfect or do you accept that they may have minor imperfections? I ask because being my own critic I drive myself crazy trying trying to get things perfect. (I started my own craft business last...

gailseymour I don't think it's silly, I think it's part of a game. I remember reading somewhere about a group of Chinese painters who would paint only one painting and make it their life's work, but they would all include a deliberate error somewhere in the piece. I...

Have you ever had a friend who was more of an enemy?

Whisp1976 @Whisp1976 (488) • United States 5 May 07

Have you ever been betrayed by a friend? Have you had a friend who competed with you or constantly tried to undermine your self-esteem? If so how did you handle the situation?

gailseymour I used to have a friend like this, who was slimmer, fitter and prettier than me, but because she was a few years older than me, and very insecure in herself, would be clingy and needy one minute and scathingly bitchy the next. She was a real drama queen,...
