mienkoos My boyfriend tends to get into the wrong car a lot! When we were driving through Australia in hired cars he wanted to step into the wrong car a few times. And on the wrong side (I did that a lot too). But the most astonishing story (but true!) is that my...

mienkoos Don't feel guilty about eating bad lately, just try to pick it up again and eat healty. It helps me if I weight myself each week and write down how much I weigh at that moment. And measuring my waist and write it down. At the moment I'm using a CD-rom of...

jyaegel @jyaegel (161) • United States 10 Nov 08

Just trying to get everyone perspective on whether its ok to whip a child. I feel according to the bible that it is ok but I can't remember the verses that talk about scolding the child. Also I see the other side where you...

mienkoos In the Netherlands spanking is illegal. You can get in really big troubles if people know you do it. But I know a lot of people still do it, simply because they've got no other way to react to the things they're child is doing. Though I'm opposed against...

CIAO Members: How long does it take you to write a review?

marababe @marababe (2503) • Philippines 11 Nov 08

Okay, this is also applicable to MYLOT users. How long does it take you to be able to finish writing up a review in CIAO or a discussion here in MYLOT? I've just finished writing a new review in CIAO a couple of minutes ago...

mienkoos I've just started on CIAO, but it takes me about 30 minutes. I think it's also because English is not my first language, so the more technical words for the reviews are harder to find. But you're right that starting a discussion on mylot takes more time,...

mienkoos I almost never drink bottled water, just when I'm on vacation. The water here is quite good. A test was done a year ago and the water from the tap was at most places even better then the bottled water. That made me switch over completely to the tap water....

mienkoos It's very good you teach her with love. But parenting with love doesn't always mean you explain things. Think about how much your girl understands at this age. You can not explain her everything and some things she just needs to do without explanation. The...

myLot has deprived me of one important thing!

Morning Girl @salonga (27775) • Philippines 28 Oct 08

Eversince I became a myLotter, I have been deprived of a daily nap during lunch break. I noticed this is not right. I have to give myself a break even for only 10 to 15 minutes. Taking a nap is the best way of recharging so why...

mienkoos It doesn't really deprive me of something, but I notice I clean the house a little bit less. So I think I need to take more time to do that. But it's not that it's a problem, when the housework needs to be done, I'll do it (especially when I know somebody's...

mienkoos It's strange that they've let het adopt a child. Here in Holland you need to go through a very thorough screening and if you're not able to cope with a child that's different than you expected I don't think you'll be able to adopt the child. I don't know...

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 27 Oct 08

mienkoos Yes, I would want to adopt a child. Especially a child with a physical or emotional problem. I know that's very hard to manage, but it will make me feel like I'm helping a child that has very little chances of a normal familylife. But I would want to wait...

mienkoos That's really bad... But be glad that you're not married with him. The other woman probably doesn't even know about you and is married to a men who keeps secrets for her! Breaking up is harder if you're married. Not that this makes it less awfull for you,...
