Do you ever search before posting?

jakester519 @jakester519 (355) 22 Sep 07

Come on...own up, do you do a search on Mylot to see if a discussion you want to start has already been started or do you just go ahead and post anyway. I must admit I search only about 1 in 10 of my discussions as it seems so...

jmbauer Hi,I'm new here, so have just been getting acquainted--hanging around the forum, reading, posting, commenting, but not starting any discussions. However, the search-or-not-search problem has come into my mind a few times, and my conclusion is this: if my...

jmbauer Hi, If you feel uncomfortable interacting on a large scale, simply cut back a bit. Start by finding one or two people who you perceive interesting and strike up a conversation. It helps if you have like interests. Exchange names, share experiences, most of...

jmbauer Firstly, I think your expectations are on target. Secondly, how old was the child? While I do believe that parents are responsible for guiding their children in terms of safety and the difference between right and wrong, I also think that there comes a time...

jmbauer This sounds to be nothing more than a phishing attempt--and a bad one to boot. It's generally good practice to be wherry of e-mails that ask you for accounts, passwords, or any form of personally identifiable information and to avoid clicking links provided...

Do any of you have a favorite tea for different seasons?

Midwesternnights @Midwesternnights (35) • United States 22 Sep 07

Heres the jist: Lemon tea I love in the summer. I find it cool, refreshing and great in ice teas. In the fall and winter I love mint tea for the crisp, sharp flavor it seems to give off, and the heady smell that radiates from...

jmbauer Hi, In the winter, I enjoy ginger, cinnaman, and peppermint teas a great deal. In the summer I tend to avoid tea, as I hate iced tea. In the spring, it's definitely honey or chamomile. I've really never stopped to associate a tea with automn. Good teas...

I Love You?

ebusaf @ebusaf (329) • United States 22 Sep 07

How often do you need to hear these words from your mate. I hear some couples say it everyday, and some haven't said those words in months, even years. In my marriage we say it quite often to each other and to the kids. But how...

jmbauer In most cases, actions do speak louder than words. However, there's nothing like hearing those three words with the underlying passion and conviction the utterance of such a meaningful pledge evokes.

jmbauer Nope, not being rude at all. It's your friends list and you manage it as you deem fit. I can see the desire to garner an extra cent, but you shouldn't feel obligated to read all the nonsense if you aren't so inclined. I think it would be another matter...

Do you always finish a book?

luintaurien @luintaurien (972) • United States 22 Sep 07

If you pick up a book and you just can't get into it, do you go ahead and fight your way through it no matter what? Do you have a page limit where if you are not interested you stop and read a different book? Do you ever go back...

jmbauer I usually give a book about a quarter of its length to work out any slowness etc. If I'm not into the work by then, it's time to go on to something else. Sometimes, I will retry a book I'd previously abandoned in the hope that I'll deem it a better read with a...

10 year old boy drowns while 2 community Police officers watch.

nancyrowina @nancyrowina (3850) 22 Sep 07

jmbauer In my opinion, common sense should've been screaming to throw something--a rope, a lifeline, anything--to the boy to facilittate a succesfull rescue. Also, if these men were community police, one would think they would tote some form of a flotation...

Group projects

k1tten @k1tten (2318) • United States 21 Sep 07

I've always hated group projects, ever since my early school years. I've had to do a lot of group projects lately and I still hate them. I've always liked to do things my way because at least I know how to turn my mind around the...

jmbauer I agree with the poster who said be straightforward but tactful. Now, say whatever disturbance has got you fighting mad. Are you more or less likely to go over and plunge right in, irrespective of any consiquences?

jmbauer I've composed a few ringtones for my phone, but I like to arrange them in my sequencer first then send them over using bluetooth technology. So, while I do actually write the tones, is it cheating not to compose in the phone's interface?
