I found a brand new bike parked on my property

ch88ss @ch88ss (2271) • United States 21 Nov 08

Something odd happened today. After dropping the kids off to school, I realized I have extra time so I should stop by the house again before heading to the freeway to work. I can drop by and water the gardens in the...

jiffin4java Yeah, you wouldn't likely get in trouble for it, especially if you take the right actions. They may have stolen it and then needed to "ditch" it to avoid getting caught. I transcribe police reports and see this happen all the time. If it's an expensive bike,...

What would you have done??

sudalunts @sudalunts (5523) • United States 22 Nov 08

I was in the grocery store yesterday. I noticed a lady that looked familiar, but I was not sure I really knew her. She was short and very heavy with a red wig and a hat on. She was reaching for a box of stuffing mix from the...

jiffin4java Yes, she should have said something, but she didn't and you wouldn't want to make a situation worse by making her feel worse than she probably already did. It's not a huge deal. You or I probably would've just cleaned up our mess and not thought twice about...

Dog's annoying behavior?

manunulat @manunulat (604) • Philippines 9 Nov 08

My neighbor's golden retriever always "puf" in front of our gate, my mom is disgusted. I told the owner about it several times but he just ignored. One day, while the dog starts to throw, I called its attention for a "shu" for him...

would you agree with me in saying that people should be informed voters?

siddy_t @siddy_t (83) • Jamaica 14 Nov 08

i think that voters should be informed about the system as to get a basic understanding as to what they are voting for. they also need to be able to make a decision based on their understanding and not just a family trend.

jiffin4java YES! Teach us to use our intelligence and not give robotic responses!!! I agree!

Since when do you play video games?

Takashy @Takashy (496) • Latvia 8 Nov 08

Hallo there. I was just curious as to how many MyLot users are playing video games and since when you are doing that. I myself, well I started playing videogames when I was around 5 or 6 years old. I still remember that I got...

jiffin4java Yes, I've played from time to time, but I definitely don't consider myself a gamer. I go weeks and even months between playing. They just don't keep me entertained for any length of time. In fact, most games irritate me after just a few minutes. I'd rather...

jiffin4java Letting the elderly tell their story will help them feel their history isn't being lost and you can learn so much from them! I agree. Pray about it. The right opportunity will come up. :)

jiffin4java Of course the company isn't to blame! I think this is kind of harsh. Yes, it was a dumb idea and I'm sure he knows that now! But kids do stupid things that make absolutely no sense and I'm sure he was perfectly capable of reading it. Maybe this experience will...

What they expect 1st graders to do in school.

tiffrocks33 @tiffrocks33 (71) • United States 4 Nov 08

To all the moms out there with first graders I have a question. Are your children learning nouns, verbs, pronouns ect? Do they do social studies, or geometry,- solids and plane shapes? What about fractions? How often do they have...

social studies

jiffin4java In general, the kids today are about a year ahead of where we were expected to be at that age. However, my son wasn't being challenged enough at school either. We recently decided to pull him out and do an at-home charter school because it gives him the...

Dealing with Autism in the Grocery Store.

jiffin4java @jiffin4java (97) • United States 17 Oct 08

If you have a child with Aspergers or Autism like I do, you know that meltdowns or misbehavior in the grocery store is inevitable at some point, as much as we try to avoid it. Have you ever had someone actually come up to you and...

jiffin4java My son is 7 and newly diagnosed. I only just found out what social stories really are just in the last week. We have always used schedules and different types of visual cues because that's what's always worked with him, not realizing he had Autism.

jiffin4java I agree somewhat. With the younger people it's like a social status thing, but not ANYBODY can get the "cool" toys. Anyone can get a prepaid or a Cricket, but those aren't cool! You have to have a fancy $300 phone with all the frills and a crazy expensive plan...

jiffin4java I agree! We have the same rule. We'll sit down and talk about it and figure out together the reasons he wants to quit. Is it because he really doesn't like it or is it just hard and he doesn't want to put in the effort? After talking about teamwork and...
