Do you wish you could live forever?

Wowtalk @Wowtalk (592) • Jamaica 5 Aug 16

Me and my family went for a trip to see their Great Grandmother who turned 95 July, who have never had any serious illness. She told me that she had a bad fever, which was going around once and had to spend a week in the hospital....

PhillyDreamer Death is an inevitable part of life, and we have to learn to accept it. While it would be cool to see how much the world changes by the time I turn 95, I am mentally preparing myself to die much sooner, and making th most of every tomorrow I get.

there was a time when the men worked, the women stayed at home to care care of the kids and the household. society has evolved since then. modern women opt to work and be financially independent. mothers leave their kids to...

PhillyDreamer I can't really give you a woman's perspective on this, but as a stay at home dad, I can say staying home with my kids was very important to me. My fiancee had twins and when we started doing the figures for child care it was more feasible for one of us to stay...

Something Came Up

leateagee @leateagee (3667) • China 21 Mar 13

. . . I don't want to hear these words during a meet, a party or even from a call. People usually say these if they cannot come to the event you were set to meet, to a party or any gathering. I also get phone calls...

PhillyDreamer I was going to reply to this discussion but something came up. LOL. Yes that is a lame excuse, which is actually a euphemism for I didn't want to go. People think its more polite but in fact it's very insulting.

PhillyDreamer I highly doubt anyone is capable of writing a hundred articles in a day, if they are the articles would be of such low quality they would not be worth reading. Why would you want to write so many article anyway?

PhillyDreamer Try resetting your modem, it could be that someone hacked into it. Another problem could be if you recently downloaded any tool bars. Sometimes they interfere with the sites you want to use. MyLot tends to be on the slow side, but if you are being hacked it...

Another Obama Lie about Planned Parenthood Doing Mammograms

Fatcat44 @Fatcat44 (1141) • United States 18 Oct 12

Obama during the debate said that Planned Parenthood provides a lot of mammograms for women. Really? Kathleen Sebelius, who in Obama's cabinet says that Planned Parenthood is not licensed to do mammograms. So either planned...

The internet privacy

paopaotang @paopaotang (54) • China 16 Oct 12

PhillyDreamer LOL! You need to clear out the cookies in your computer to get rid of those ads. Every time you click into a site, the site puts a cookie into your computer which tells the internet what kind of advertisements will catch your attention. As far as privacy, the...

PhillyDreamer I prefer to watch movies in the comfort of my own home. We have a decent enough flat screen television, and its so much easier to enjoy the film without a whole bunch of people around. If i want popcorn, I just pop a bag into the microwave, and if you really...

PhillyDreamer Being forced to listen to Christmas music at work during the holiday season is bearable. Listening to Christmas music all year is cruel and unusual punishment. I like that they play only during a certain time of the year, thats what makes them special.
