Punished for being too nice

Faye @FayeHazel (40243) • United States 10 Nov 17

Hi MyLot! I'm feeling a little blue today. Maybe it's the headache I have. I rarely have headaches, so this is frustrating. That's probably it. I can't even do my "chocolate" cure for headache for fear of offending my...

Rachelle Desjardins I've been told I'm "so nice" so many times it definitely doesn't sound like a compliment anymore. I've been taken advantage of at every turn because I'm so nice that it makes it very hard now to try and genuinely help people out. I hate saying no but I've...

Has anyone ever been in an Escape Room?

I have read about it, but it really does not say much. Have any of you experienced it? What was it like?

Rachelle Desjardins I've never gone but know people who have and have said they are a lot of fun. You're apparently locked in a room and have to search for clue as to how to get out. One clue leads to another and another until you solve all the puzzles and you're out. I guess...

celticeagle @celticeagle (167071) • Boise, Idaho 28 Apr 17

I am taping all the Harry Potter movies this weekend so I can watch them. I think I saw the first two and read the first three of the books. I saw a documentary about the author recently and it reawakened my interest in the...

Rachelle Desjardins I LOVE Harry Potter. I've read the books several times and own all the movies so whenever I get the itch to watch it I can just pop in the dvd player and off I go to Hogwarts. Gosh I'm such a nerd. Happy watching!

Rachelle Desjardins Great use of your earnings! I just started here not too long ago so I obviously have a ways to go before I can use mine but it's a great way to make some pocket change.

Men Have Their Own Moves

Shavkat @Shavkat (139962) • Philippines 10 Apr 17

Most men are not fond of dancing. They tend to watch somebody dancing than doing it for themselves. When I was in primary school, my teachers kept on asking to join school program and perform on stage with my classmates. In fact,...

Do you have extra clothes in the office?

youless @youless (112507) • Guangzhou, China 11 Apr 17

I always have an extra clothes in the office. When it is in summer, sometimes I will feel very cold because of the air-conditioner. So I like to put it on. Yesterday it was a very hot day and therefore I assume it is hot today...

Rachelle Desjardins The only "extra" I have in the office is a cardigan type sweater so if it gets cold then I can put it on. When they crank up the air-conditioning in here it's like winter all over again so you have to layer in here for sure.

Rachelle Desjardins I always make a grocery list and I ALWAYS forget it. If you blame it on age then I'm screwed because I'm only 38 and I've been forgetting my grocery lists for ages. Then I'll try to remember what's on the list and I think I did great until I get home and...

Who Are Better Cooks Men Or Women?

Nitin @nitirrbb7 (4317) • India 10 Apr 17

With all due respect to Women they have always been the Queen of the Kitchen. But now a days Men have proved themselves equally better, even if you Google for the best chef in the world you will find Only Men. Now I also...

Rachelle Desjardins Personally, I think it's the individual. I've seen both men and women as great cooks/chefs. I'm the cook in my house because I enjoy cooking and baking. That's not to say that my husband doesn't do some cooking because he does and when he does it's great,...

Can't We All Just Get Along?

Susan @HazySue (39268) • Gouverneur, New York 10 Apr 17

No, I'm not talking about us here on myLot. I am talking about my neighbors. When we moved from this house to the one closer to my job about 8 years ago, everybody here seemed to get along just fine. Since we have moved back we...

Rachelle Desjardins Oh wow, it seems people can't seem to mind their own business nowadays. I don't know if it's jealousy or what. I can see someone being reported for doing something illegal of course but having plants too close to the easement just seems petty to me. I have...

Rachelle Desjardins I'm not a gamer but I do enjoy video games every now and then. My favorites being the Legend of Zelda series and those types of games. I wouldn't mind getting a PS4 or Xbox but I can't justify the cost when we play so little in the first place. We were...

Is it Possible to Be a Friendly Person and Still Lack in Friends?

Xavier Bage @franxav (13841) • India 10 Apr 17

Can I Kill My Sister?

Nanette Piotrowski @nanette64 (20364) • Fairfield, Texas 10 Apr 17

She is the biggest procrastinator on the planet. She adopted two dogs from the animal shelter that I ran six years ago. The dogs Kate and Daisy were 2-years old at the time. Now mind you, the one dog she had at the time Rambo was...

Rachelle Desjardins Well no, you can't kill your sister but I see your frustration for sure. Honestly, it sounds like she likes the idea of having a pet but not the idea of taking care of one. It's a huge responsibility and she doesn't seem to take it seriously.
