makingpots I've been here a long time as well. Stopped coming for a longing time too. But I always feel comfortable when here and have met some truly amazing people. Funny thing though, I've never been paid. Yep, not one penny. In the old days I had my payout set...

I think I finally found some Christmas spirit!

Jekca @Jessicalynnt (50523) • Centralia, Missouri 14 Dec 15

I decided to combat my serious lack of Christmas spirit with some good tunes in the truck as I drive about. I had some credit on the google play store so just broke down and bought the newest (I think) Pentatonix Christmas album,...

Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85288) • Valdosta, Georgia 12 Dec 15

I don't often get time alone, almost never actually. Right now my children are next door baking cookies with Sabrina's mother in law. It feels really weird not having them here with me. My husband went to talk to an author about...

Missing myLot old friends

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160663) • United States 7 Dec 15

I have seen lists of bubble friends people miss, and that is nice. It is great some of them have found their way here. I am a bit different, I miss some old myLotters who have not gotten the word yet. Every day a few more come to...

It's Awkward When Relationships Start

Artgirl @owstalaga (4707) • Philippines 5 Dec 15

Booo, it's really awkward the way some relationships start. You get to know the other person and sometimes it's kinda hard to talk when one is quiet most of the time. I mean how the hell can you talk about something without...

makingpots Maybe you could remove the expectation of every moment being filled with talking. Sometimes being comfortable enough with someone to not feel like you have to keep the conversation going is a good thing. But if you are asking questions and the person...

makingpots Yes, pretty simple. It's good advice. It is even biblical, right?.... do unto others as you would have them do unto you, or something like that, right? I believe I do this in my relationships.

Do you like to wash dishes?

Lee Ka @kaka135 (14931) • Malaysia 4 Dec 15

My 3-year-old daughter always likes to wash dishes since she was young. For her, it's like playing water, but she really does the work seriously. She always offers help when she sees me washing dishes, or she just tells me she...

makingpots That is great that you have a little helper. I would encourage that if I were you. My child really enjoyed playing with water at that age but I didn't benefit from it as you are. Some days I actually enjoy doing dishes, but not usually.

Who is the person who can make you a broken heart?

srisahara @srisahara (4508) • Indonesia 3 Dec 15

Of course, the answer is the one you love. It is indeed ironic, where the one we are very love is able to make us a broken heart, shattered, depression and even die. Actually, those we love or love itself that makes us a broken...

makingpots Yes it is true. People with the most access to our hearts (the ones we love) are more likely to be the ones to hurt us. If we didn't care it wouldn't hurt so bad. Personally, I choose to love and take the chance on being hurt. It seems better than the...

GreatMartin @GreatMartin (23672) • Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 4 Dec 15

I have been reading a few discussions I am following and there are really many people who are sad, mad, unhappy, etc. On the one hand I would like to bottle up my optimism and send it to them with a hug but, on the other hand,...

makingpots Unsubscribing from that person's discussions might be best. It would be nice if you could bottle that optimism and share it with others but it might not help some people. I find that some people feel comfort sitting behind a computer screen just saying...

I Don't HAVE To Write Today....

Tammy @tammys85 (30066) • Baltimore, Maryland 3 Dec 15

makingpots It's great to not have the pressure to write. Doing something just because you enjoy it is much more fun. I don't know anything at all about writing online for money, but I know that there are a lot of people who enjoy doing it. That is great!
