kolleenwilson They deactivated my account and said if I paid a certain amount every month I wouldn't have to worry about it getting deactivated again due to lack of use. I am not sure it was a scam...what did you find out?

Another Gay Discussion.

II2aTee @II2aTee (2559) • United States 18 May 09

Seems like this week on MyLot the hot topic is Gay Marriage. Everyone has an opinion, and everyone loves telling other people what that opinion is. So heres another soapbox for you! Lets talk about all these commercials...

kolleenwilson Interesting question. I haven't seen either of these commercials having stopped watching most shows in real life choosing to record and then fast forward through anything that looks like a commercial. I don't believe that everyone's mind is made up. I believe...

You myLot Republicans are a bunch of SORE LOSERS...you LOST...get over it!

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 24 Apr 09

Now that I have your attention, let me continue. I'm not a democrat although I think I'm pretty close to becoming one. You know why? Because of the behavior I've seen here from the Republicans. That might not be a "good" reason...

"An alcoholic is always an alcoholic." Do you agree or disagree?

II2aTee @II2aTee (2559) • United States 9 Apr 09

I would like as many opinions as possible about something. I recently heard someone say “An alcoholic is always an alcoholic, even if they are dry for years.” Do you think that’s true? What about drug addicts? Do you think a...

kolleenwilson I just celebrated 24 years of sobriety April 1st, 2009. I can't speak for others but I can speak for myself. If I begin to tell myself I am not an alcoholic it opens the door to thoughts of being able to drink responsibly. I never drank responsibly and was...

My dog is ruining his toys

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 6 Feb 09

My dog, Secret, is bringing all the stuffing of his soft toys that came from the pet shop. My dog, Magic, has chewed up one of my son's toys. If Secret continues to ruin all his toys soon he will have none left. Perhaps he is...

Do you pick up pennies?

kykidd @kykidd (6812) • United States 4 Feb 09

I Feel Awful When I Discipline My Cat

irisheyes @irisheyes (4370) • United States 7 Jan 09

I came home from a book sale one day last week tired, wet from the rain and thirsty. So I got a glass of ice water and went upstairs to change and take a little nap before it was time to start dinner. I was awakened with a...

kolleenwilson I think my feelings about discipline revolve greatly upon how I've executed it. If I yell and scare, I am usually remiss afterwards, but if I take the animal and firmly but calmly teach them what I want them to learn I am fine. I also sometimes react as you...

Ann Coulter Trashes Michelle Obama

irisheyes @irisheyes (4370) • United States 7 Jan 09

GOP putting forward a resolution against bail outs

lilwonders @lilwonders456 (8214) • United States 31 Dec 08
