I learned 3 things: #1 - be careful clicking links at twitter (I clicked one had about 50 pop-ups froze my pc). #2 - on facebook you can set your profile so everyone on your list can't post to your wall. #3 - be very careful about offering help to friends, they can turn it into something totally different and make you feel like garbage for trying to help. So come on myLot did you learn anything today? What?

yeah one thing that i have learned today is that when they say it is free it is not always free. You really have to look at the fine print to make sure that you are not taken in. Another thing that I have learned is that there are not really many work at home progtams for work that are not trying to rip you off.

True on both lessions - always read the fine print and legit online programs are few and far between... myLot is great but don't plan on getting rich unless you put a ton of work in and get a million referrals that will actually be active. myLot does pay though so that is a big plus and welcome to myLot.

Today I learned that my grandma's real name.. She pasted a couple days after valentine's day.. That was a huge shocker, had no idea that she went by her nickname... I learned how much it can really takes to things set up for a new apartment, man I didnt think that there was so much pressure.. Trying to get everything turned on and packing, and then running after a three year old. The last thing that I learned today how much people walk all over people that do not have money, and go to the welfare office to get the help they need... I am in area of the country were I am a minority, so its really hard to get help, and its ok to leave a single mother waiting in the waiting room for hours... and forget about them... Then have people that sit there and snap at you for no apparent reason... Then they wonder why there are so many hungry and angry people out there.. many can not get the help here because they have to work or can not get child care just to sit for hours...

I learnt today to be grateful and appreciative of what I have rather than what I should have, I should learn that wishing for something is not always a good thing, because times in the past I have wished for something and it has come true and I have hated it, the saying is true becareful what you wish for it may come true. I have decided that what I have I should be thankful for. I am doing a lot of work on myself some of the truths I am finding out about myself aren't good but I am learning to live with them and trying to turn them into positives. Life is a struggle but every day I try to learn something new and make life as positive as possible, not bad for someone who was diagnozed with clinical depression!

I have learned that I do not know much about much. I had so many questions asked for which I had no answer. It is actualy nice because it just brings me back to reality, I do not always have to have all the answers, somethings I must just accept. I also learned that I have no idea what this twitter thing is that I hear so much of in MyLot. I also don't know why I have not cancelled my facebook yet. I do not even log in anymore, I find it boring. I used to get emails when someone sent a message or somethimg that I should note, but the emails stopped, I don't complain. OK, thats it for now, I don't want to learn anything any more for now. I am supposed to study for my exam, but I learned that MyLot is easier.....

Everyday, I learn new things from my workplace. I'm new so I have got a lot to learn like the names of the people I work with and the kids' name as well. It's always hard when you're first time in a work or place. Anyway, one of the interesting things I learned today is that I can be an affiliate for national express--a bus company here in the UK. Well, I haven't signed up as it's not that simple really. Once you sign up you have to promote the link in either your blog, forum, or by submitting articles online. This week, I learned how to make scone and wheat bran bread, yumm!

I've pretty much given all my social networking sites a big miss...Yuwie, Facebook Gather, My Space. I didn't join Twitter and probably never will. I'll stick with the devil I know...that being myLot Offering to help means that I'm giving people the right to use me and friendship has absolutely nothing to do with it...from now on, if my help is so important and valuable, they can pay me

What I learned today is to double check my job, to ask everytime you are confuse and to ask help. I also learned to not to believe in rumors , but to keep quiet when you here someone is talking about someone. I also learned that I have to eat on time because I became weak a while ago because I passed by eating my lunch. I had already eaten at 2pm.

You learned some very important lessions in life - I have the same eating problem, often forget or just don't feel like eating then get weak or the shakes - off to work now but think I'll grab something to eat first.

I learned that I am not ready to take the math portion of the GRE test to gain entrance to Grad School. My daughter's friend Bess and I are both going to begin studying next week for the LSAT's and we got our practice books today, and were looking at some the cases and arguments in them. WOW. I also learned that I have little confidence in myself right now.

I am not stalking you...This topic caught my attention, because I love to learn, and I have to always be learning something. Today I learned how to make authentic Spanish rice and beans. In this town we call it Puerto Rican rice, but I am told some people are offended by that. I also learned what sofrito is, and that it's easier to buy it in the Goya aisle than to make it yourself. It also helps if you own a blender, which I don't have, because my sister decided to go "shopping" one day and took mine...but I digress. Someday I'll learn what Twitter is. ;)

What I learned today was I'm more of a pack rat then I thought! I decided to go through stuff this week and throw out what I don't want to keep. With old credit card statments and other old statements are being shredded. I pretty much got all that stuff done! Now I plan to get a bunch of stuff together to take to a rummage sale. That is going to be more work then I realized! I have my work cut out for me! This what I learned today!

LOL - when your finished at your house could you come to mine and do the same thing. I've always been and known I'm a pack-rat, I keep everything! I have been trying to 'let go' of some things but horribly slow progress at this point.

I'm going to turn my answer into: What I learned this weekend. This weekend was my bachelorette party, and sadly what I've learned is that wedding planning can be a real pain if everyone doesen't pull together. This including the bachelorette party. It was a total bust and I was so sad and upset. I'm really learning a lot about people - mostly friends during this whole wedding planning process. It makes me sad and is a real bummer actually! :-( I just hope our wedding day is so much better than everything else has been (planning wise) along the way!

Oh dear I'm so sorry to hear this. Your wedding day should be one of the most special days of your life and the time building up to it should be a time to remember. When are you getting married?
