airasheila @airasheila (5454) • Philippines 8 Sep 10

Good day to you Fellow Mylotter, So many times, I thought my colleague was talking to me. I kept on looking to her since she was saying some words but to my surprise she was not talking to me, instead she was just talking to...

louisefrank I often talk to myself - but only when I'm alone! I think I would be slightly worried about someone who talked to herself when other people were around. Does she seem OK, apart from the talking? It might just be a personality quirk. Have a chat with her and...

louisefrank You say they have children so you must gently remind your friend that her biggest responsibility is to them. Is there no way this couple can rebuild their relationship? I don't know which country you are from but here in the UK we can go to relationship...

I'm not the favorite in the family...do i have to be sad?

SimpleBB @SimpleBB (1329) • Philippines 5 Aug 10

People say it is common to a family to have a favorite child. Just like in school being a teacher's pet. People have individual differences and varies in their way of thinking as well. I know someone that happens to be a favorite...

louisefrank This is a difficult issue. I think most parents would do their very best to treat their children exactly the same and to love them all equally. However, human nature being what it is, they may feel closer to one child than another. Most times it's just a...

How fast do you go through books?

minx267 @minx267 (15527) • Hartford, Connecticut 5 Aug 10

I haven't read a book in months. I love to read.. but books are expensive and I don't get to the library often and even then I don't find many of their hardcovers are convenient books for me to carry around. So, I heard...

louisefrank I love reading but, sadly, I don't get a lot of time to read. However, I read for a little while every night before I go to sleep. My husband often has to take the book from my hand as I have fallen asleep in the middle of a chapter! I read about a book a...

louisefrank I too once hit a deer as I was driving along here in England. It jumped off a high bank right in front of my car and I had no chance to avoid it. It was dark and I was alone. The deer was lying on the road in front of my car and I just didn't know what to do....

lakerfanster @lakerfanster (2577) 4 Aug 10
