Ruth Belena @paid2write (5201) 21 Sep 08

Instead of waiting for January 1 to make a new start, you could do it now and achieve something by the end of the year. There are still one hundred days left! I set myself a goal this year, and am well on the way to achieving...

The laptops on the International Space Station don't have any anti-virus software installed, and have been infected by a virus, which steals user login information for various online games! NASA believes the laptops were...

Ruth Belena @paid2write (5201) 18 Aug 08

I think myLot discussions are like conversations. Some of them are with strangers, others are with familiar friends. Maybe that is why I do well here, I have always enjoyed talking with people and having a good...

I have just been watching a parachute display team, called the Red Devils, performing in the sky. It was amazing to see. First six people jumped out of the plane and fell like stones, then their parachutes opened and they...

Your life story...

Ruth Belena @paid2write (5201) 12 Jun 08

I would not want to read a book about someone who lived happily all their life, as I think it would be a very boring story. I like a life story full of drama and adventure, which means there should always be personal...

Ruth Belena @paid2write (5201) 28 May 08

Spam can be dangerous to your computer if you click on a link in an email. I just read of an awful example of this. It was sent out last week and used news of the Sichuan earthquake to convince people to open an attached...

Answers to questions

Ruth Belena @paid2write (5201) 22 May 08

I have noticed that two of the most regular questions asked by new members at myLot are variations on 'Can I make money on the internet?' and 'What is the meaning of life?'. I just wonder what people expect when they ask questions...

Have you had a perfect day?

Ruth Belena @paid2write (5201) 9 May 08

Yesterday seemed like an almost perfect day to me. The places I went, the things I did, the people I met, the sights I saw, the weather and the way I felt, all made it seem quite perfect. It gave me a wonderful feeling about...

What is the best thing anyone has said about you?

Ruth Belena @paid2write (5201) 20 Apr 08

As a child I preferred hanging out with boys rather than playing with other girls. When I was about 12 years old I was in a race with 4 or 5 boys, and I came second. One boy looked at me with admiration and said I was not like...
