Tattoo taboo?

olaff123 @olaff123 (433) • Namibia 6 Jan 08

Do you find tattoo body art attractive? I really like it on well-defined bodies - when it makes a visual statement. Some instances are totally gross, when it becomes so overpowering that it is unacceptable. Where to draw the line?...

Two different names for one user?

olaff123 @olaff123 (433) • Namibia 26 Feb 07

I have a query and would like other mylotians' input on this: A certain user goes by two names (rav33n6 and r6v33n6). She uses the same avatar for both. Her discussions under both names are basically the same. Does anyone...

What have you read lately?

olaff123 @olaff123 (433) • Namibia 25 Feb 07

I usually go to Uncle Spike's, our second-hand book on the corner, near our office, and pick a bunch of books, based on title, cover and whatever else piques my fancy that specific day. In this month's batch I got 'Lili'...

When did the Life In General section became a trivia quiz show?

olaff123 @olaff123 (433) • Namibia 18 Feb 07

Up to a few days ago, Life In General used to have varied discussion about, well, life in general. Today I opened the first ten pages and it is filled with trivia questions posted by mostly two users. I find this extremely...

Bletilla Striata

olaff123 @olaff123 (433) • Namibia 10 Feb 07

We went on our Saterday shopping spree, and made a turn at the nursery, as usual. I purchased a Bletilla Striata or Chinese ground orchid. It is supposed to be a very hardy plant, able to withstand frost. I live in Namibia, and it...

Religious intolerance?

olaff123 @olaff123 (433) • Namibia 9 Feb 07

As a gay person, how do you feel about the intolerance shown by the religious with regards to homosexuality. I personally feel that all people are created equal but different, and in god's image, as the Bible says. How do you...

May we have our numbers back?

olaff123 @olaff123 (433) • Namibia 5 Feb 07

How many of you miss your number? I do, very much. It was in a sense a scorecard for me. I do like the new look, but I would like to have the numbers back. And if possible, a spellchecker would also be nice. What additions...

Why does the idea of gay marriage upset so many people?

olaff123 @olaff123 (433) • Namibia 30 Jan 07

I've seen a number of discussion about gay marriage and I've responded to some. The idea is strongly denounced by the religious, claiming that it is an abomination in the eyes of god. Setting the religious aspect aside, I would...

Do any of you grow clivias? Clivias are indigenous to South Africa, but have been cultivated for years all over the world and many new hybrids have seen the light. My latest purchase is a yellow clivia, and I will be able to...

Stale discussions?

olaff123 @olaff123 (433) • Namibia 25 Jan 07

I have a query, maybe one of you can give some advice and input. What happens to stale discussions? And with stale I mean a discussion that is a few weeks old? I think it is rather senseless to have that discussion floating in...

olaff123 @olaff123 (433) • Namibia 17 Jan 07

Is there any John Steinbeck fans out there? What's your favourite book authored by him and why? I've read almost all his novels, and my all time favourite is The Winter of Our Discontent.
