So What's Next

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 19 Aug 09

I was chatting to a friend yesterday about what happens after we die. Where do we go, what does it look like, do we choose where we end up etc etc? What happens to the seriously bad people? Etc etc. Is Hell an endless round of Big...

kbourgerie This is going to be quite the discussion I am sure. I think we all fear death, because we fear the unknown. I know I fear it immensely. Perhaps that is why turning 50 was so awful for me. On the other hand, isn't life here heaven in so many ways? When you...

Ever Been Through A Period When Your Life Is On Hold?

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 15 May 09

I think we have all experienced being in a 'rut' with life and feeling that we are not moving forward, when we have so many plans and ambitions and hopes for ourselves, dreams, wishes etc... But sometimes our lives seem to go...

kbourgerie Yes, I have felt this way and feel like I am going through it now. I have a medical condition for which I have sought to start treatment. But I was told I had to have a psychiatric clearance before I could start, because the treatment makes you very depressed...

~How do you mend a broken heart?~

gwoman2 @gwoman2 (710) • United States 1 May 09

I need your help myLotters, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Can someone give me any and all ideas on how to mend a broken heart...no not mine, my daughters! She is 19 and was in a relationship up until this morning when the Mother...

broken heart

1 response

kbourgerie I don't think anything can mend a broken heart except time. You can try to take her mind off of the situation, but all in all, its just going to take patience and a lot of support on your part. A broken heart cannot mend overnight no matter how much we wish it...

Modestah @Modestah (11179) • United States 1 May 09

kbourgerie I honestly can't say I remember saving my money for anything particular. I am an impulse shopper. If I see something I like and I have the money I buy it and if I don't have the money I either go back and get it when I do or its just not that important to me....

Celebrity Endorsements

worldwise1 @worldwise1 (14885) • United States 29 Apr 09

I have sounded off about this particular topic once before, but I thought it deserved another review. While watching TV this morning I once again was treated to Magic Johnson pitching an ad for a nationally-known furniture rental...

kbourgerie I completely agree. Your points are well taken. Most recently I have seen Jamie Lee Curtis promoting Activa yogurt. Not to say that she might not eat this product, but after her film career, watching her advertise yogurt in a supermarket makes her look less in...

Do You Rate All Discussions And Posts?

KrauseHome @KrauseHome (36447) • United States 27 Apr 09

Many people I am sure might tend to think that this is unneccesary. Many might even skip doing this for the length of extra time it might take to do so as well. But when I am posting back to someone's discussion or posting back to...

kbourgerie Absolutely. I rate all responses and 99% of the time I rate positive. Very seldom do I rate anyone negative. I think all responses are a good thing, unless someone is just being mean hearted for no reason.

kbourgerie I tend not to watch too many scary movies anymore. Particularly horror movies. I had my fill of those in my younger days. However, if you are talking about natural disaster movies, then I would have to say "The Titanic" or "Message In A Bottle" or whats that...

Do You Focus On Making Payout Each Month?

KrauseHome @KrauseHome (36447) • United States 24 Apr 09

Or are you just continuing coming in here as you can to post, and hope for the Best as well? I know many of us come in here in hopes of earning at least $10 a month here, and many of us are doing it with No real problem as well....

kbourgerie Not in the least. I have long stopped watching the dollar amount since I am on here so infrequently. It takes me three to four months just to make minimum payout. I am much more interested in just keeping in touch with my friends.

We're all going on a summer holiday....

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 24 Apr 09

One of the things that I liked about my last employment was the holiday entitlement. I received 30 days paid holiday a year, plus another 10.5 public holidays. In fact I often didn't manage to take all my holiday and would carry...

kbourgerie I've been there just over a year and I have a week coming. My daughter is coming to visit this summer so I'm sure I'll take it then. Probably sometime in June when she first arrives although she'll probably be here a month or so. I can hardly wait.

What makes a good start to your morning?

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12588) • United States 22 Apr 09

For my hubby it's listening to music while he makes coffee and eats breakfast. We are currently listening to the Beatles "Penny Lane". Certainly better than what can be on the morning news! I think "Hey Jude" is next! No Sgt...

kbourgerie What makes a good start to my morning is knowing I don't have to get up and go to work. LOL. There is nothing better than not having to turn off an alarm clock and being able to sleep in until you please.

kbourgerie First of all, I am very, very sorry that you lost your job. I can only imagine the feelings that you must have at this time. I don't know what your job was or what experience you have, but I wouldn't wait to start looking for another one. Network with everyone...

kbourgerie There are many reasons I deleted my account. One is the earnings. It was a mere pittance at best. Secondly, I just didn't get to know people like I do on this site. It was more an exchange of fairy graphics rather than a meeting of the minds. It got to be a...
