goldysmom I'm new to MyLot, so I may be wrong. But, I think the Tag is a way to introduce your discussion. It's like the title of a book. For instance, I will Tag my response with "Title" so you will have an idea of what I'll be saying, get it? Happy Holidays,...

What pets do you have and what are their names if you have any?

goldysmom I have two wonderful dogs that I adopted from the local humane society, and a cat that adopted me. About four years ago, a solid black cat showed up at my back door. I tried ignoring her, hoping she would go away as I really didn't like cats, but it didn't...

goldysmom If you would like for the two children to have the same first initial, why don't you spell it "Caeleigh"? Just don't give them all the same initials as that wouldn't be fair to them - it would rob them of their individuality. I gave both of my sons the...

stacy624 @stacy624 (2776) • Canada 8 Dec 07

For me I find I have these odd days where I cannot get motivated in any way. I find it hard to get to the housework enjoying it the way I usually do. I was wondering if anyone else goes through this and what do you do to get that...

goldysmom ohhh, yeaaah! Ha! I have a lot of days like that now. I figure, tho, since I'm retired now, I'm entitled to days like that. I just got through crocheting a bunch of stuff to, hopefully, sell at a crafts show last week. Well, the show was not a tremendous...

Old Age

goldysmom @goldysmom (18) 8 Dec 07

I am a new MyLot member and, from what I see in the discussion topics, I must be the oldest member of all! I am a retired, 68-year-old female who has a lot of time on her hands and little money. So, I decided to try this as a...

What is the best or worst car you have ever owned? Be specefic.

1 response

goldysmom The best car I have ever had was a 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis LS sedan. That was the perfect car, in my estimate. it drove like a dream, rode comfortably, got fairly good gas mileage, and required very little maintenance. I had it for six years and then...

Animal Rescue Site Clicks

MakinMoney129 @MakinMoney129 (231) • United States 8 Dec 07

How many of you have the animal rescue site set as your homepage? Does that help you to remember to click on it every day? AOL doesn't let me set it as my homepage, so I forget a lot and it makes me feel so bad!!! I have it saved...

goldysmom I get an e-mail from the Animal Rescue Site every day reminding me to click for free food for the animals. Why don't you ask them to e-mail you? Good luck, and God bless you.

Exactly when were you able to find out that you were pregnant the first time?

Bala @balasri (26537) • India 8 Dec 07

How did you feel?

pregnant

5 responses

goldysmom I found out that I was pregnant for the first time when I noticed that I'd started liking coffee - I'd never liked coffee before in my lifetime! I was ecstatic, because my husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for about a year. It didn't take that...

Undergarments

krish86 @krish86 (35) • India 8 Dec 07

Do u use bra and panties.or do u avoid bra and wear only top.

undergarments

2 responses

goldysmom Well, I would think that depended on several things: how old you are, how well shaped you are, what you're wearing at the time, where you're going, etc. If you're young with a perky figure, then I see nothing wrong with going without a bra as long as your...

Illiteracy among children is increasing due to poor parenting.

kathixon @kathixon (2) 5 Dec 07

A growing number of children are being failed at school due to their parents refusing to play a role in their child's education. They are allowing themselves to believe that it is solely the teachers' responsibility to educate the...

goldysmom I agree with you wholeheartedly, but what can we do about it? I am too old to have either young children or even young grandchildren, so I don't know how I can make a difference. I sure would like to, tho, wouldn't you? If you have any suggestions, I'm...

Rascism

sundark55 @sundark55 (4) 1 Dec 07

Is rascism becoming a global phenomenon nowadays? We have heard it in Germany, the US of A, UK and now the latest one to join the list is Malaysia, where migrant Indians are put into lot of hassles? Any idea on how to stop this...

goldysmom I don't think there is any stopping it. As long as humans inhabit the universe, there will be racism because it's human nature to want to be better than somebody else. That's what racism amounts to, in the long run - trying to be better than somebody else...

What do you think of all of the poilitcal correctness at Christmas?

RebeccaLynn @RebeccaLynn (2256) • United States 6 Dec 07

We are no longer supposed to say "Merry Christmas" so as not to offend non-christians or those who do not celebrate Christmas. Santas have been told that they can no longer say "HO HO HO" because it may be offensive to...

goldysmom Being a Christian, I am offended that I am being told that I can not say "Merry Christmas" when I want to! Why should offending non-Christians be worse than offending Christians? I hope that's a joke about Santas no longer being allowed to say "HO HO HO"!...

goldysmom That he or she just died! I had that happen to me in 1979 and it's just as fresh in my mind as if it had happened yesterday. My 15-year-old son was killed in an automobile accident and the sheriff and coroner, both of whom were friends of mine, drove up to...

goldysmom Yes, it has been medically proven that smoking is bad for your health. Two consequences that come to my mind right now are: cancer and emphysema. I smoked for 31 years and quit 19 years ago. I was told, several years before I quit, that I would contract...

Why would Go want us to worship him through superstition alone when the universe is clearly built on evidence and science? It makes no sense!

goldysmom How can you say that "the universe is clearly built on evidence and science" when science has never proven when the universe began or how? Nobody really knows "how" God created the universe because there were no humans around at the time - all we have is the...

goldysmom No, it is not a sin to smoke any more than it is a sin to overeat! I quit smoking after 31 years and I can honestly say that I've never regretted it. There is no "easy" way to quit. However, I took a "Behavior Modification" course where they show you pictures...
