What classical piece did you want to play but never did?

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 11 Oct 07

When I was in school we had a good orchestra and a good band and a good choir. So I thought we should have gotten together and played Beeethoven's 9th.

laylomo This is a great list. Props to you. I have two stories: 1. My friend Stephen went to Starbucks. He ordered a drink and the server asked him his name. He said "Stephen, with a 'p-h'". He then waited and the guy handed him his coffee. The name read...

Should kids be permitted to have a tv in their bedroom

RowenaTheWitch @RowenaTheWitch (947) • Italy 28 Dec 07

I'm not a parent, but I was arguing with one of my friends: he has a tv in his bedroom since he was a child and he says it's a good thing, but I don't think so. I bet If I had had I tv in my bedroom I would have studied less more...

laylomo I had a T.V. in my room, but still did very well. My GPA was still very high. I often had the TV on while I was doing stuff and it just kind of ran in the background, while I was working on something. I still got things done. Then again, I never did my...

laylomo Originally, when people said that the war in the Middle East was the reincarnation of the Crusades, I thought that was ridiculous. But this is really interesting. Hopefully, this isn't a common thing in the military; if it is, it's quite contradictory of the...

Student Wins Lottery: Quits School

http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN2740373220071227 Now if it was me I'd not have done the same thing. I'd have at least completed my education at the time. Of course, the rest of my future might be up in the air. Ah...

laylomo I'd act as if I never won the lottery. I would take all the money and put it into some portfolio or index and get some interest. I'd continue my education and get my degree. I remember watching a documentary about lottery winners in the United States; many of...

Grandpa Mad at Paris!

whiteheather39 @whiteheather39 (24403) • United States 27 Dec 07

Grandfather Hilton has shown just how disgusted he is at Paris for having "sullied" the family name by changing his will and leaving his money to charity. I think this will hurt Paris as wealth was all she had, no talent except...

laylomo I just think about what I need and what I don't need, and how I can lessen the cost. For example, most people drink coffee in the morning. I don't drink coffee, but if I did, I would not go to Starbuck; instead I make it at home. Replace all lightbulbs...

Shortage of Discussions on Mylot

positiveminded1977 @positiveminded1977 (7072) • India 25 Dec 07

Your ideal school

Daniel_7 @Daniel_7 (91) • Czech Republic 14 Dec 07

I'm a student and so I would like to ask all of you: What would your ideal school look like? What would the teachers be like? What would the school itself be like? What would be the equipment, where would the school be situated ?...

laylomo My ideal school would be smaller than most campuses. I think a smaller, tight-knit school is better because you have the individual attention of professors and students. The school should be located in the suburbs, but not too far from a major city or area....

Which dicspline is hardest,dance, acting, or music?

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 6 Nov 07

laylomo I think each are hard in their own way. As a musician, I'm biased. I am a clarinet player, and it has many technicalities. One thing wrong, and it just sounds bad. For example, the embouchure, or how the lips/mouth is form is a crucial part for a good...

laylomo For me, Myspace is too open source. There are so many applications and ways to customize that it just drives me up the wall. It's less formal, less clean, and seems easier for others too look at your profile, even if you set it on private. And yes, it's...

Do you think short people are intelligent?

foxyfire33 @foxyfire33 (10005) • United States 25 Oct 07
