Do you actually read the discussions on myLot? I must admit I have at times caught myself just skimming the discussions, responding and then realizing I had not actually responded to a specific question in the discussion.
So, this is a test to see who else does the same thing.
Do you have a place you would like to visit but never have?
What is the name of this place?
Share one fact about this place that you know?
What is one thing you would like to know about this place you don’t already know?
Ok, there are 6 questions in this discussion, can you answer them all?

I only count five questions unless you count "Can you answer them all?" as the 6th question.
1. No, I don't always fully read the discussion. Sometimes I will just skim it and then put down what thoughts were in my head.
2. Yes there are many places that I would like to visit but I never have. I just recently got on my first plane, so I'm taking baby steps!!
3. The main place I would like to visit is Europe, but there are many others.
4. I know that some woman don't shave their arm pits, or at least i've heard that!! :)
5. I would like to know what it looks like up close, seeing as I've never been there!!
6. Yes I can answer them all!!

I actually read through the discussions I can relate to. Some of them catch my interest right off the bat. I have also read through them failry quickly and forgot to respond to certain question it. I feel bad for it but it is too late when I submit it. sometimes I will go back and add on to the discussion and answer that sepcific question too if I see that I have missed it. I have a specific place that I would like to visit. I would like to go to the Bahamas. I would love to go there and see the color and the beauty of the land and the ocean. That is one of the things that I do not know about the Bahamas. The color of the ocean water. I think I have answered all of the questions in your discussions even though they are not listed one by one. This is a good way to get some quality responses. Good for you and keep up the good work.

Oh yes, the Bahamas would be wonderful right now - whopping 30 degrees, like a heatwave but still oh so cold.
Actually didn't know how many responses I would get but figured it could be fun.

Question 1. Nope I don't always read them, but I read yours because your first sentence caught my eye. I have been known to answer a discussion only to find out I was totally wrong with my answer because I re-read the discussion. Don't you feel dumb when you do that?
2. I do like to visit the beach. Its so peaceful there
3.This place?? Its called mylot I think. Or you mean The beach? its called "The beach" lol
4. I wish I knew which place you meant. Mylot: I have lots of friends but only a handful who are great Friends. The beach: Ummmmmmmmmm There is water and sand and fishies
%. I know everything about mylot and the beach Because I'm omniscient (proud smile for knowing such a COOL word) lol
6. I think I answered them all, Faith. Do I get a gold star now?

I sometimes don't really read them. I do skim them and this one caught my eye. LOL Yes, I would love to visit Deleware. I know this state has beaches and I want to walk on the beach with my best friend. I know I will get to meet my best friend. I have no idea how long it will take to drive there or what I will see on the trip but I would love to know. We actually have never met but have been talking on the phone for over 3 years. I think I did answer them all but I still haven't had a morning coffee yet. So who knows! Great topic. I gave you a + for it.

Excellent Linda - last fall I wrote a series of articles on Las Vegas, there is so much to see there I don't see how anyone could just go for a week and I've known so many people that have done that. All the shows and sites sound wonderful. But, I drove by Vegas years back during the day time - it was ugly in my book, but I love the green of Michigan.

My daughter's best friend lives in France now and has been to Paris. Her older brothers are best friends with my two older sons and the friends did not like it the first time their sister came home (US) from France and my two sons kept referring to her as "the hot French Babe"... they've known her since she was 3 years old and wow I have to admit France changed her.
You did great answering my questions :)

1) ya, i do miss some part of the discussions and don't read them all but generally look them but not that seriously that reading each and every word of it.
2) i have many places in mind to go (some with my parents and some alone)
3) one of them is japan, but others could be us, switzerland, etc.
4) people over there if believe someone then they have trust them but if they don't then its forever and never me moved.
other you can take is that they are upto themselves only as they are not connected to any other country by means of land so they are very conservative with that.
5) i would like to study their culture and the way they do business, the discipline, the manners peole possess
6) yes i have answered all the questions.

Ok, I counted them all, there are a total of 6 questions in here, and my answer to the last question is YES. Well, I read the discussions before I respond to them. The place that I would like to visit is Italy. I love the sites in there, just like what I see on the internet everytime I check out the pictures online. Of course I love the food and I cannot go there because I don't have the money and the opportunity to do so. I would like to know how they make or cook the food there.

I really try to read all the discussions that I believe I will try to respond to ..I have always wanted to visit the Cook Islands but have yet to get there. The islands are surrounded by reefs so instead of heavy surf coming into the beach all the time you can enjoy a stressfree snorkle just walking distance from the water's edge. My biggest concern about the islands and spending much time there has to do with the availability of serious medical treatment or transportation to such medical treatment...my husband is a liver transplant recipient and his surgical team has always said we should not travel places where we wouldn't have emergency evacuation services available for him in case of a serious event...and yes I think I can answer them all!!!!

LOL good one:)
And yes,
1- I do. I like to read the discussions before I answer, I like to read the answers too, but often I tend to answer first so I don't get influenced by what other answers are there already.
2- I do
3 - I would have to say maybe iceland which is interesting since i don't actually like cold, but I was always curious about visiting this country.
4- during the winter people in Iceland can swim in outdoor pools warmed up by hot springs:) - you knew I had to have swimming somewhere in this dream visit right? :)
5- I would like to know how they can actually use the hot springs to warm the houses - at least I heard they do that in some places.
6 - Yes I think I can, or rather I think I did .
