Yes, but they're more 'professional' (both literally & monetarily)---i.e. you don't "sign-up," but you audition-&-audition-&-audition & win a role maybe 1% of the time and you're on casting-directors' minds and get called-in for...

hvedra In the UK there are a lot of "Amateur Dramatics" groups. By definintion they are not professional but some do have professional standards whereas others concentrate more on the "Amateur" than they do the "Dramatics" Most you get in by...

I usually back down to everyone and let them tell me what I am going to do...Today though was very different. It felt so good too. I am no longer going to be taken advantage of or told what to do. I am grown and people need to...

hvedra It's a good step. You put a boundary in place and as long as they respect that it's good. My problem is that I always put myself last - due to being ignored as a child. I'm always fixing stuff for everyone else and sometimes forget that I have my own needs...

We have a kitten that LOVES to climb and jump on things. Everything is a toy. She even has gone so far as to try to climb the floor lamp and knocked it over. At first I was figuring I would need to no put ornaments at the bottom...

hvedra You need to anchor the tree somehow. I did this last year and it was okay because we only had two older cats who have lost interest in going totally crazy. However, this year we got another, very young cat so we will be securing the tree as best we can. I am...

Dear mylotters Recently many of my friends complaints that they either they lost their mobile phone or lost data from it so they could not track their friends including me. You may agree with me,...

hvedra I do have some important numbers written down but I think mobile 'phones have made us very lazy. I used to have family and friends numbers memorised but now I could just about tell you which area code they are under!

Obviously this question is mainly addressed to my conservative friends here on myLot, particularly those of you who have repeatedly mentioned in your posts that around half of all Americans pay no federal income taxes. Actually,...

hvedra It depends how those included in the survey. If it is half of the entire population, how many of those are children, retired, not working but being supported by a spouse or family who pay taxes and so on? I think if all countries simplified their tax rates...

My brother-in-law is in hospital awaiting an operation because he has phlebitis. He has phlebitis because is is morbidly obese - like not far off a documentary obese. He's been obese for years and there are a number of factors...

hvedra [/i[i]]"that is what I don't understand why his mum overfeeds him" It's complicated but he's the youngest so I think part of it is that she didn't like the idea of him growing up so she was less strict with him than the other kids. But I also think...

Do you have a spice rack or, like me, an entire shelf in a cupboard of spices? I like spicy food, especially Indian food, and I'm lucky enough to have a good Indian supermarket nearby where the spices are cheap but very good so...

We often talk about the foods we like here on MyLot but what about those we don't like? I don't like onion - because it makes me ill when I eat it. The problem is that it is a common ingredient with a lot of dishes so I have to...

hvedra I know a few people who won't eat mushrooms. I know one who even gags if he sees or smells one and he says to him it smells rotten - I think he probably has some kind of allergy or sensitivity. I've only had okra a few times in Indian restaurants and it was...

hvedra I'm a polytheist - believing in the existence of many gods - which throws out most people's arguments. It tends to especially upset atheists because most of them don't believe in _one_ god and it doesn't occur to them that there might be a bunch of them they...

hvedra We're hoping that this latest hospitalisation might have scared him enough. He actually had his operation under local anaesthetic because he was terrified of being given a general anaesthetic because of his breathing problems. He's had some scares before...

Recently a couple I know have split up and that is sad enough in it's own way. He left and put his hand up to say it was his fault it wasn't working out (no third party, just a break down in the relationship). He asked that people...

hvedra I prefer werewolves. Okay so they shed on the furniture but in European folklore they were the defenders of the community and not bad - that came later with the church propaganda. Vampires are really zombies with good PR and fashion sense. I thought...
