Issues with paypal?

Mylot User @Sindrum91 (254) • United States 16 Mar 12

Hey fellow Mylotters, Anyone ever have any serious issues with Paypal? And if so would you mind sharing? I'm starting to collect a bit of money through my online earnings. I transfer everything to Paypal. And I just want to make...

mwilcox86 I have never had an issue with PayPal whatsoever. As a matter of fact, it's always been the easiest and most secure of its type. The only problem I've ever heard is from my dad who refuses to verify his account and was eventually told there was a PayPal limit...

the best way to stop dog fight?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 4 Mar 12

This is a problem for me because I have three dogs and there are times when one or two could be jealous and start a fight. It happened and it was hard to extract the furious one's bite from the other one no matter what we did. We...

mwilcox86 I don't think beating him is the way to go - it will only show that you are an unpredictable, aggressive leader. They should respect your decision to break them up, and the best way to make them respect you is to establish yourself as the alpha. When they...

Some dogs understand, some don't

HeresTheScoop @HeresTheScoop (748) • United States 5 Mar 12

Our shi-tzu, Keri, is such a good dog! She really understands when she's done something wrong and I'm scolding her. She was pooping in the dining room on a daily basis for about a week. I would show her and tell her that was a...

mwilcox86 No dog actually understands when you are scolding them if they are not being caught in the act. They don't have the same type of associative memory that we do, so even if you show a dog what he or she has done wrong, they won't be able to connect the dogs. The...

What is the major role of your pet in your life?

Nami NV @mayflowerhorn76 (122) • Makati, Philippines 10 Mar 12

I have dogs. I believe the major role of my dogs in my life is to make me happy when time goes bad, to accompany me when I am alone, and to complete my day when I feel emptiness. That's why I love them all.

mwilcox86 My dogs are my best friends. When everyone else (people) fail me, I know they are there for me, even if it's just to sit with me and cuddle. My dogs are the only thing I can always count on to love me no matter what. I talk to them when I'm lonely, and I play...

Can watching TV be a hobby?

HeresTheScoop @HeresTheScoop (748) • United States 14 Mar 12

I think that I watch too much TV, but I can't stop. I don't have a job right now (I am looking). I do some housework, watch TV, do more housework, watch more TV. It's kinda like a hobby for me now. Although, I have a problem with...

mwilcox86 I don't have a regular job at the moment now either, and I admit I watch quite a bit of TV, especially in the background of doing other things. I don't think it should be considered a hobby though because a hobby implies actually doing something. Watching...

Don't waste food!

cearn25 @cearn25 (3456) • Philippines 15 Mar 12

I just finished eating my breakfast. It is late though because I woke up late. My concern now is not about what did I eat awhile ago but it is about those wasted food. When I see people who are just wasting the food they are...

mwilcox86 I think it's good that you think that way. I have heard some people lecture about not wasting food, and by that they mean finish what is on your plate, no matter how much is there. Consuming less means there is more for others in theory, although it...

Dogs are like children.. it is so hard to replace them!

ymitchell42 @ymitchell42 (79) • United States 15 Mar 12

I had two dogs in my life that were like children. They would sleep in the bed with my husband and I, then sometimes with my kids. They were so good at whining so that they could go outside or need something to eat or drink. I had...

mwilcox86 I completely understand where you are coming from. My first dog died last year at the age of 16. She actually made it longer than we thought as we had a bit of a scare with her several months earlier and we had to put her on an IV for two days. I already have...

What the big deal about the Magnum Ice Cream?

astreadido @astreadido (608) • Philippines 15 Mar 12

mwilcox86 I've never heard of Magnum ice cream! I wonder if it is available in the US? My favorite ice cream is Talenti Gelato. They have the best tasting pistachio ice cream, but it's also pretty expensive for a little pint :(

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 13 Mar 12

Why do men in good relationships cheat?

ymitchell42 @ymitchell42 (79) • United States 13 Mar 12

mwilcox86 I don't think it's fair to think it's the woman's job to keep the man interested. It's a partnership, not a dictatorship. There should be an equal amount of pleasing and being pleased in the relationship. I think a lot of it is simply men's genetic wiring...

Paying debt to avoid complications after death

Elizabeth White @Masihi (4413) • Canada 11 Mar 12

I know I already mentioned that I want to be debt-free, but I didn't disclose one big reason why I want to do so. It's for legal reasons, actually. I don't want my kids to bare the hassle of fighting off debt collecting agencies...

Single use items, what a waste. Used once and in a landfill for years.

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 10 Mar 12

Toothpicks, plastic stirrers, straws,etc. What can you think of that is used once and then discarded? Can you think of ways they can be reused? Like plastic straws can be rinsed out and used to make a weaving. You can put...

mwilcox86 That's a great idea with the fruit and veggie net bags. I've never heard that before. However, for me, I don't so much try to reuse single-use items as I try to avoid them all together. When I go to the grocery store, I don't even put my fruit/veggies/herbs in...

Did You Know That Oats is Tastier When It's Not Cooked?

Emmanuel_II @Emmanuel_II (47) • Philippines 11 Mar 12

By preparing oat meals, you can use warm water. Just add water and brown sugar. (It is recommended not to use powdered milk, for milk these days are not actually milk at all. They are processed by making the actual milk into...

mwilcox86 Adding honey to oatmeal is also great, and maybe some fruit like blueberries or blackberries. Plus it's very healthy for you!

How many time have you moved in your life?

chicgale @chicgale (2982) • Philippines 10 Mar 12

Since when I was a kid, we moved I think 5 times. And now that I am married, we moved 7 times already. I am tired of moving. How about you? How many times did you move to different house or places?

mwilcox86 I moved a lot as a child because my parents were divorced, and I absolutely hated it! At least 5 or 6 times, maybe more. However, now that I'm older, I think my childhood has influenced me to want to move. I can't stay in a place for too long without feeling...
