meliora Your friend's ex-girlfriend sounds like a real succubus. I've had relationship experiences that have left me no longer the same afterward. Relationships, while they can be wonderful, are never safe. They can change you in ways that you cannot imagine, for good...

meliora Rock on. t's good that you let her do this on her own. She learned a valuable life lesson and it looks like she can understand her own worth enough not to tolerate being treated as an accesory.

meliora I think it's good to give a reward to kids for good grades. it gives them incentive and it reinforces their feelings of accomplishment. You do want them to do well in school for a better reason than just the reward, and that's understandable, but giving them...

If your partner is cheating, would you want to know?

Citychic @Citychic (4067) • United States 10 Jul 09

Hey mylotters, if your partner is cheating would you want to know. Or would you prefer not to know, in hopes that things may get better between the two of you? As for me I think that I would want to know because I wouldn't want to...

meliora If my partner were cheating, I'd want to know. There are many different forms of cheating and many many different reasons why people cheat. I'd want to know and I'd also want to know why so I could better understand what's going on. It'd be painful, yes, but...

meliora All of the ones listed above are beautiful. As far as the looks department goes, I actually don't find blacks and asians to be too far off from eachother. What attracts me in those races is the eyes and the face shape, as well as the full lips, which both...

meliora My fingernails get pretty long. They grow really fast and are really tough naturally so they don't break often. Honestly, I just don't get around to cutting them very often. My fingernails have always been like this ever since I was a kid.

meliora I just do my best to suppress it, which is very hard. I find that, the harder you try to suppress laughter, the harder you want to laugh and the more you know you shouldn't laugh, the funnier it is.

Adoption

LeavaoDe @LeavaoDe (349) • United States 4 Jul 09

Good evening my fellow myLotters, I was recently asked if I would ever consider adoption. My response was considered selfish and I don't know why. Maybe you all can help me to better understand it. My answer was I guess two...

meliora I don't think that your response is selfish at all. Whether to adopt or have your own children is entirely a personal choice. It's only natural to want to give birth to a child. Irong t's a part of our instinct, and a very strong instinct indeed. There are...

meliora I absolutely would not go against a loved ones last wishes. That is an absolute disrespect to their memory. Those two family members who wish to do something else because it's cheaper honestly don't understand the concept of a funeral. The funeral is to help...

meliora Honestly, whether or not you choose to go sleeveless depends entirely on what your arms look like and not what your b*st looks like. Your frend likely suggested that you go with sleeves because she felt that sleeves on a garment might balance your bodyshape...

What is the best way to punish your child for something he/she did?

Azaerus @Azaerus (820) • Philippines 4 Jul 09

meliora The punishment of children should always be to correct a behaviour and should never be demeaning to the child. When a child is disciplined, the message should always be "What you did was bad." It should never be "You ARE bad."

meliora It honestly depends. A job is generally something that you do just to pay the bills and, in that sense, how well you love your work is negligible. However, this doesn't mean that you should do something that you absolutely can't stand. A career, on the...
