changes?

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 23 Jul 08

Last time myLot shut down to work on the site, they made a lot of very obvious changes. This time I can't figure out what they did. What am I missing?

2 responses

mummybec I did not know that it even shut down... hehe must have been while I was asleep last night (it is 10:30am here now) So maybe the work was done through our nightime here? I have not noticed anything different, so maybe it is just something minor or a little...

schulzie @schulzie (4061) • United States 22 Jul 08

Do you buy more books online, or at places like Barnes & Noble?

sjm1344 @sjm1344 (20) • United States 22 Jul 08

When I worked in a bookstore, I would come home every payday with new books. Now that I don't work in a store, I find myself buying more books online. I also browse more online and refer to others' reviews. What about you?

2 responses

mummybec These days I find myself buying more books online... not only is it quicker and easier but I find I can usually buy the books cheaper than I could in a bookstore. Especially when it comes to buying books for my kids :)

Do you prefer a pasta that is saucy or with little sauce?

jeremae @jeremae (15) • Philippines 22 Jul 08

I like pasta that has little (and not overflowing) sauce. Not only is it healthier, it is yummier as well. The sauce penetrates the pasta and gives it a lot of zest. Sometimes I don't even add tomato sauce, I just saute sun-dried...
