Sitting and Talking, What is the Use?

Ranjith Narayan @Surinamstar27 (315) • Mumbai, India 18 Oct 22

That is the best thing for human beings to stay positive and to get reassurance. Unluckily for me there are no real friends in my native place, enemies are galore. Mylot is an option for me to seek friends who are in foreign...

Mano There are all types of people and we all must try and deal with it the best way we can. I don't know which problems you are facing and all we can do is help talking to you and "try and make friends" with you so you feel less lonely (if that is the case)....

How often do you drink Cola?

Diana @dya80dya (36579) 13 Oct 22

I am addicted to Cola. I drank Cola every day because I can't drink coffee. It gave me the needed energy. Now I am going to stop it. I will try to drink more water. Drinking Cola makes me feel so anxious. I don't drink even a...

Mano We never have colas or softdrinks, but more juices or only water. I remember when I was a little boy I was addicted to softdrinks and when I grew up, I naturally stopped drinking it and began drinking juices and more water. Try and drink more juices yourself....

Do you pay rent?

Diana @dya80dya (36579) 18 Oct 22

I live with my parents. I am lucky because I don't have to pay rent. But as soon as I will be able I would like to live with a stranger. The rent is very expensive. Where I live people prefer to buy houses. Here few people pay...

Mano We still pay rent but we are about to buy an apartment and get away from renting. You are so much right: paying rent is stressful and sometimes, when the landlord doesn't help much, it becomes even worse. There is a movement in here for not buying...

Do you have a good relationship with your family?

Diana @dya80dya (36579) 17 Oct 22

I live in a house where my father can't stand me sometimes. He drinks a lot. I was talking to my mom and he was very angry because we were talking. Strangers helped me more. I was lucky because I found kind people. I am sad...

Mano Unfortunately my family didn't have a good relationship with me. I always felt something was wrong and I couldn't do anything as I was a little boy and couldn't go anywhere to save me from that environment. When I was 18, I was already in a good University and...

The last roses

Diana @dya80dya (36579) 17 Oct 22

I have near my house some roses. This rose was brought by my mom. She loves flowers so much. I love them too. I think cold weather will come soon. Now it is sunny and the weather is normal. It is not too cold or too hot. I am...

Mano It is a very beautiful rose you have in the picture! We do have some roses in the building garden where we live but never photographed them. I think it is time to take a picture or two and post them here. I will see when the day is a little sunny and I will go...

If you're wondering, it's a door-handle

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339431) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Oct 22

You might be battling to understand the photo. I took it at the same time as I took the door-mat that featured in my last post. It’s actually a piece of root that is somehow fastened to a glass door and acts as a door-handle....

Mano When I first saw the picture, I thought it was a big chewed bubble gum sticked in the door glass. When you explained, I could see a big chewed bubble gum sticked in a door glass, indeed. Sorry, it can be different but not beautiful, in my himble opinion.

Have you ever tried aromatherapy?

Diana @dya80dya (36579) 15 Oct 22

I tried aromatherapy recently. I bought some lavender oil. I have candles and the scent is great. If I add too much oil the scent is too intense. I learned to add only three or four oil drops. I tried lavender because it has a...

Mano It is so interesting you made this post, because yesterday night we had a big TV program talking about aromatherapy. I never tried it myself, but I strongly believe it has good effect on our mood and life. You are so much right: don't use too much and try and...

ShannyBananny @shaggin (72103) • United States 14 Oct 22

Mano It is sad your husband can't stay for the event, but you do have a golden gem beside you: your sweet and caring son! He will probably cherish you all the time and express to him all your love in his day. This is all he needs!

What makes you happy now…

sublime03 @sublime03 (2339) • Philippines 13 Oct 22

How do you feel when you meet with strangers?

Diana @dya80dya (36579) 14 Oct 22

Mano I don't know the degree of friendship your mother has with her work colleague and why she wants to meet you so much. Anyway, if there isn't a good reason for her to meet you, why is she insisting? If you feel uncomfortable, tel your mother and, respectfully,...
