I got a "reading injury"!

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 24 Nov 08

I know that sounds silly, but this really happened. I rarely do this, but the other night I started reading a novel that I ended up liking so much that I literally couldn't put it down. I stayed up all night and finished the...

Anyone a fan of the author Cynthia Baxter?

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 24 Nov 08

Cynthia Baxter has written a series of books called Reigning Cats and Dogs Mysteries. I've only read one, "Who's Kitten Who". I was wondering if anybody here has read any of these books and what their opinion is?

Who else dislikes the star rating system?

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 15 Nov 08

Does anybody else wish they'd just get rid of the stars and ratings? I don't see what good it does, in fact I think it's harmful. When I first came to MyLot I would really wonder about people who had a very large post count but a...

Does anybody have a Hamilton Beach Brewstation?

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 12 Nov 08

I've been wanting one of these for a long time, and my coffeemaker broke so now I have an excuse to get one. I've heard that the original Brewstation tends to leak, so even though they're really cheap now I think I'd go for either...

I've had a gel fireplace for about a year and I was just wondering if anybody else has one, or any other type of non-traditional decorative fireplace?

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 28 Oct 08

We've been up all night, she's had EIGHT and we THINK she's finally done! I've got a couple of pictures I'll post here (this was back when there were only six - we thought she was done then, too.)

Sarah Palin thinks fruit fly research is wasteful spending

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 24 Oct 08

Oops, she did it again - said something that shows her ignorance in matters that anybody running for VP of the United States should be knowledgeable about. Not to mention anybody with a special needs child should be knowledgeable...

Sarah Palin isn't sure if abortion clinic bombers are "terrorists"

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 24 Oct 08

Absolutely positively Bill Ayers is a domestic terrorist. But abortion clinic bombers? Not necessarily. Why does Sarah Palin have such difficulty with this question? [i]Brian Williams: Back to the notion of terrorists and...

Horrible story on my local news

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 20 Oct 08

I don't enjoy sharing negative stuff with people because I don't want to get anybody upset, and if some people choose not to click this link I can understand. But it's so outrageous and it made me almost burst into tears when I...

Do you ever wonder why people want to be your friend?

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 16 Oct 08

I wish My Lot had a box for comments when you request that someone be your friend. That way people could type in a reason, like, "I just saw your post on ____ thread and I agree completely!" Does anybody else wonder when you get...

Breaking Eggs

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 14 Oct 08

If I live to be 102 I will never be good at breaking eggs. No matter how hard I try, I just can't do it right. I've always felt that my problem is that I don't whack them hard enough, I try, but I just kind of "crush" the shell...

The Humane Society has NEVER endorsed a Presidential candidate, EVER - until 2008. And guess what the deciding factor was.... they picked the one who does not have Sarah Palin as his running...

Reading Dialects

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 3 Oct 08

I debated whether I should post this under Reading or Writing - I decided on Reading because my question is more about how people react when reading, though there is a little why do writers do this in it too. Okay, when a...

Palin vs. Biden

philjas @philjas (1134) • United States 30 Sep 08

Okay I hate to get into political discussions and I know my rating is probably going to drop for expressing my opinion, but this is driving me insane so I have to say it. People who are defending Palin's recent "gaffes" in...
