Any anime/manga fans around these days?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 6 Sep 15

I just returned to Mylot after being away for years, and I know there used to be a few other anime fans around, but I'm not sure what the current userbase is like. This season I'm mostly geeking out over finally getting more...

Identities for the Young?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 6 Sep 15

The LGBT+ community has been an ever-evolving one, with new ideas, terminology, and priorities as it continues to grow. Concepts of gender, sex, attraction, and expression are tossed around in academia, in activism, and in...

Nonverbal children and illness

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 29 Feb 12

Does anyone else around here have a nonverbal child? My autistic son is almost six, and he stopped speaking several years ago after a seizure. It makes a lot of everyday things difficult; it's hard to know what he wants and he...

I'm always surprised this place is still around.

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 29 Feb 12

Once in a while I poke my head in here and just sort of blink at it. It's strange to see a forum where you used to spend hours and days and weeks of your time, and realize that it didn't go away when you left it. Especially with...

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 8 Feb 10

Last night I had a rather frustrating telephone conversation with my son's father. We're no longer together, but I'm trying to keep him involved with our son's life, and he loves Dustin very much and wants to continue to be able...

If you take your lunch, what do you put in it?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 7 Feb 10

I regularly take my lunch to work with me, because I can't really afford to eat out every day. Sometimes it's leftovers of whatever we had for dinner last night, but other times I get creative and make something nice especially...

When To Stop Listening To Your Mother!

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 7 Feb 10

A few weeks ago, my mother promised that she was going to loan me a car to use for a while, since I really need one to get around in the town I'm living in. (There are very few sidewalks, and it's impossible to cross the main...

Am I the Only One with a Sock Obsession!?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 5 Feb 10

All right, so right now I have banned myself from my favorite sock-buying website because I can't afford to waste any money! But as a result I am craving some kind of outlet for my sock addiction, hence this discussion? Do any...

Does it make you feel special when people remember you here?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 5 Feb 10

I know when I first started doing mylot, it took me a while to really start connecting with people and remembering things about their lives, outside of whatever their response to the current discussion was. After a while, however,...

Do you ever wish you hadn't updated your facebook relationship status?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 5 Feb 10

This was my recent experience: I'm still in the process of getting a divorce, but I've been separated for almost a year, and I finally started dating someone! So my new boyfriend (who is a bit younger than myself) immediately goes...

What kind of laptop would you buy right now?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 8 Feb 09

As soon as I get my tax return, I'm going to be buying myself a laptop. My husband wants our desktop, so the compromise was that I would get a new computer for myself when we get the return. I've decided I would rather have a...

How long did it take you to get used to typing on a minilaptop/netbook?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 8 Feb 09

I am currently using a Eee pc. The upsides to this neat little machine: cheap, convenient, battery lasts a while. The downsides obviously are not being able play any very complicated games on it, not having much storage space, and...

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 10 May 08

So, I finally finished putting together my poetry book. I had it almost done originally when my computer died, and then I had to go find my backup document disks (sadly a little outdated, so I lost quite a lot) and then dig...

Yay, I have a computer! So I should be back to posting regularly again soon. For those who have sent me messages, I'll get back to you in the next couple of days, but I'm a little swamped at the moment trying to catch up on...

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 24 Apr 08

So my computer was having problems last week, and we lost a bunch of data. Now it's been determined that it is actually dead, and so I'm pretty much offline until I get a new one. Which will be early May probably. Right now I'm...
