brijcrumbz @brijcrumbz (73) • Philippines 7 Mar 12

I admit I 'm a boring person, is it because I talk a little? hmm, anyways I wanted to change this kind of attitude. What should I think before I start a conversation? I was hoping I can get some answers here, I have met someone...

philostone The best way to be interesting is to be interested. Listening is the most important part of communication. Also, it is important to be honest and express hoe you feel about things, but not to be too attached to your opinions. Everyone has opinions, but they...

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...

philostone You probably need to get your dogs some professional obedience training. If they are actually fighting, it will eventually escalate until one is seriously hurt. Obedience training is very intensive. It requires a lot of time and effort on your part, and is...

philostone That's great. I've had dogs my whole life, and few things are more satisfying than giving a shelter dog a new home. I wrote an article foe Triond.com, now published on therealowner.com, called "A Dog Lover Scouts The Free Agent Market." You might check read it...

John Sandford & The Prey Series

knittingpro @knittingpro (289) • Canada 1 Mar 12

I have always been an avid reader since I was little. Not to long ago I was at the Thrift Store browsing for books. I came across about 14 books by the same author. So I picked one up and scanned it. So, for $50 I came out of the...

philostone I like Sandford, too. I actually think I like the Virgil Flowers books better than the Prey series. I have been reading thrillers, suspense and mysteries for years. Some authors I have recently discovered in this genre that I really like are Gregg Olsen, P.J...

The Concert Experience Of My Life

almightybong @almightybong (186) • Philippines 27 Feb 12

I have recently been inspired by a post I replied to about a certain concert he went to so here goes my own take on it. I have attended a total of 7 concert events. The first one was the only local artist concert I've ever gone...

philostone I believe my first concert was 1972 (yes, I think I'm a bit older than most of you here on myLot). It was either Edgar Winter or Jeff Beck. I saw both concerts the same summer, at Northern Illinois University. In the following few years, I saw many great...

I just want to ask, how is your relationship with your brother? Is very good or you treat him like an enemy? Just curious to know.

philostone My only surviving brother is 13 years younger than I am, so we never fought like most brothers do. He was the baby, and my dad was on the road a lot, so my older brother and I kind of took on caretaker roles. I still sometimes catch myself feeling that way...

Fear the Birds, Bosox.... nothing like playing for pride. Can they get some respect, eh?

philostone The season will be here before you know it, and I will face it with the same naive hope I do every year. They traded Guthrie, of course. Respect? Well, let's just say love. I am a mid western boy through and through, but have bee an O's fan since I was a kid...
