What shall we discuss?

Bill (my boyfriend) and I go to each others appointments. It's a great way to hear the truth from the person. I know I've asked Bill many times if he's feeling okay and he's say "yes", then when we get to the doctor's office the story is totally different! I don't mind the dentist anymore. I used to hate going but for some reason it doesn't bother me. I too have to take antibiotics before having dental work done. I also had a joint replaced, the left knee was replaced in June of 2009. I'm not really happy with the way it's working. The physical therapist at my doctor's office hinted that I may have to have it redone...and I kind of squashed it when I was adamant about not doing it again. She also hinted at the fact that I might need the right one replaced too. I'm not too keen on going through that and having the thing not work right. Oh, for really light reading I found a wonderful writer, John J. Lamb. He wrote a series of teddy bear mysteries that are so great. There are five books in the series and it isn't all blood and guts. I wish the publisher would let him write more but the publisher doesn't think that they are commercial enough. The titles are The Mournful Teddy, The False-Hearted Teddy, The Crafty Teddy, The Clockwork Teddy, and The Treacherous Teddy. I really enjoyed them and recommend them to every mystery fan.

That's a creative way to get a discussion going. I like to read, but after a day of being on the computer, my eyes won't always take a book, so I sometimes listen to audio books while I do other things to relax. It's been awhile since I've been to the library, but I keep wanting to go. The problem is that when I get books, I want to sit and read instead of doing things that need doing!

Oh, well if you don't mind a little romance and inspiration in your books, I should keep you in mind for when my story is published. (Yes I am being positive, even if it takes years or if I end up publishing it online, I am going to get this story out..lol) But there is something I'd like to discuss, because it was you who started the post on dying your hair with henna. Are you still doing that? If so, then I assume you are just doing your roots and what I was curious about is, do I have to cut down on the amount I make? In other words, does the solution of henna last long if I were to make the full amount? Or should I make like 1/2-1/4 of what I mix when I make the full amount?

I used to go and sit in the waiting room with him. He wanted me to go back when they were drawing blood as he hated the needles, but I guess now he's gotten used to it seeing as he has to do it quite often. I haven't gone to the doctor in a very long time. I've never donated blood or platelets either one. I like a good mystery story, and a good chair to sit in and relax under a blanket with nothing but quiet to enjoy it in. Sadly, that's not available here.

Well you know what my discussions are like. I talk about what goes on each day and things of interest that happen around me. I rarely get hugh responses, but sometimes I hit on something that people really want to talk about. I am susre you have had many intreesting things go on in your life. Remember we have people from many different countries here, I would be surprised if many of them know about blood donations, or joint replacements. So you could start there.

May be we can call this a 'hotch potch' topic? Good idea. Talk about anything under the sun simply opens up vistas. I just checked my profile and I see I have put up 496 topics. How and when these topics were generated is difficult to say. It does not reflect my personality in any way but there they are! Being a multi faceted personality I can talk on any subject but thoroughly enjoy pets, nature, environment, art and so on. What I have noticed here is there are very few here who enjoy discussing these subjects, specially gardening. I don't think there will be more than 10 responses to topics on gardening. What say?

Don't go to hubby's appointments.. hate the dentist but don't need to see one anymore until I come up with the money for new teeth. Not much else for me to discuss. Just tired and really busy. My daughter's in softball and her dance recital is this weekend, and the oldest is doing indoor soccer.. so that's kept us busy along with all the usual stuff. Just finished another semester of school so I'm on break till May 2.

I haven't met anybody yet who likes going to the dentist. I'm scared of needles so donating blood is not in my future but I do read every day on my bus ride to work and sometimes on my lunch hour. I hope you make it back save and sound.....

When my husband has an appointment we usually go to the clinic together. Sometimes I wait in the waiting room and sometimes he asks me to come inside. Last week my husband had an appointment, because there was something wrong with his ear. Fortunately it was nothing serious, and he is okay now. Last week he also had an appointment in another clinic. We got up really early and drove all the way to the clinic (on another island) We waited a long time and then a nurse called my husband's name and told us that my husband's appointment was cancelled, because the doctor was ill. He got another appointment and then we drove back. I wish that they had called us, we could have saved the time and the money that we spent on gas.

Hello Gardengerty, Right I am reading and learning about watercolor, color pencils and how to paint and draw. At my night work when it get hetic this calms me down. I look at computer all day long sometimes over 12 hours and last thing I want to be on is a computer. I bought color pencils and INktense Derkwin color pencils that when you wet the color it becomes a watercolor picture and when it dries it permanent which means you can color over it or add pen and ink to make things stand out and will not harm the watercolor portion of the picture. Other topics could be song you listen too. What last DVd did you buy or watch! What is classic movie? Gardening or people in your neighborhood! Any good tips on shopping like Target, Walmart! What clothes do you like wear. Sports with baseball playing. I am routing for the New Yorks Mets to get into the World series this year. Then there is Nascar we can talk about. Then other sports Tennis, volleyball, swimming etc... I hope this help! Have a great day! Sincerely Unique16

You know I have started fewer discussions than other mylotters.It doesn't mean that I would rather go without than have them shoddy.Usually I don't know how to start a discussion that interests others,so I mainly make comments to others' discussions unless something occurs to me.So far,I haven't had an appointment with a dentist.

Hi Gerty! I love reading for enjoyment. I have an eReader that I buy books in and read. I don't buy books on the shelf much because I don't see so well. I have tried to give blood but it clots too fast. I take aspirin now and I don't think they allow people to give if they take aspirin. I have to take it for circulation and stroke prevention. You have lots of good topics to talk about. I'm a full time freelance writer for Knoji which used to be Factoidz. I've written about 56 articles this month and have earned $116. It's not much but it does help out at the first of the month. I'm also active in microworkers. I love working at home to supplement my retirement pension. Have a good day.

Hi GardenGerty I usually go to appointments alone. Now I have to go to dentist quite often, almost every week,because I try to get two root canal treatments done. My teeth are not healing very well, so I'm just hoping that the treatments can be finished and I can still keep these teeth for a while. I got temporary fillings and have to go back to dentist on Friday. I would like to donate blood, but I'm not allowed yet. I was saved with someone's blood, so I know how important it is, and I would like to help others this way, too. I haven't been to the library for a long time, although when I lived closer to bigger libaries I spent a lot of time there. Now I'm reading about mythologies in a book that I got from my aunt.

Sometimes I start a discussion based off of what I see in the room. For example, the other day I noticed that our plant was dying, and so I wrote a discussion for suggestions in helping to revive this type of plant. This doesn't get as many replies as others, but it will help you get an idea of where to start if you want to get away from the doctor,medical, blood sort of type questions.

My hubbie is a big boy and goes to the dentist by himself. If he had to have anestisia (spelling?), I'd have to go with him. The dentist is not my favorite Dr to see, but he's not the worst to see either. He usually has funny post cards to remind you like:Don't be a chicken, chickens have no teeth. Your appt. is on_________________. The books in my home library are about: Recycled crafts Paranormal Romances (mostly women with interesting powers who help their men friends get out of jams) Wild food books including identification and one by Linda Runyon who lived the wild food lifestyle

I don't donate blood, I loathe going to the dentist and I put it off for as long as I can (which I know to be a bad habit) before fixing an appointment. I( then go alone as I don't have a hubby and don't need one if I have to exchange that favour with doing a lot of washing and ironing for him I don't read recently and tyhat is another bad habit too. Possibly in the next few months I will have some extra time when I will be travelling on public transport and I already have a couple of books that will come in handy then. Can I ask you a question because the part about donating thingsbrought it to mind. What happens with old, unwanted spectacles in your part of the woods? Is it possible to donate them too?

There are many topics which can be discussed on mylot. If you feel you have discussed about everything, try to think a little a make a unique discussion which no one must have started before. I mostly start discussions that way. I sometimes talk of real life experiences that happen on my way to work or college. For the first time i traveled by bus to my native place. The journey was pleasant. So if i had to start a discussion, i would start it on a long bus journey. The hotels we visited on the way, the sightseeing of the bus and whether the sitting or sleeping arrangement was comfortable in the bux.

I don't like the dentist. I had a bad experience with one years ago. I never was taught to take care of my teeth and now I have about twelve of them left. I would like to get dentures but can't afford to. I used to read true crime books. Just don't seem to have much time with the tv on for company most of the time. I have the latest Dark Shadows book I am wading through. When I have a good one I read slow and savor it. Hate to say goodbye to the characters. lol

i admire you more as you donated blood - thus helping other people... My hubby also accompany me to doctor's visits as i am scared of it sometimes..and i need support.. i really do not have library books as our library here sucks sometimes i too do not know what to share here but then i get inspirations from what is happening in my life..

I have to go with my husband or else he won't go to the dentist at all He is a little scared of dentists so I have to be available just to have things done. I haven't been reading for pleasure for a while now. I am working and I have a little one so I do not have a lot of free time. But I like reading and I promise to get back to that hobby the moment I can. Hope to see you here again!
