Have you or Would you get plastic surgery?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 2 Jun 10

I've never been a big fan of plastic surgery. I think most of the time it's just vain. There are some instances where I can see plastic surgery being necessary.. like if you're deformed in some way.. or lobsided. I am...

puddebear I've never had it, and at my age there is probably no point in worrying about it now, but I don't always think it is vanity that makes people get surgery (of course the injured or deformed have obvious reasons). I think sometimes people get "fixed" because...

stupid male parent rant

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85139) • Shingle Springs, California 2 Jun 10

Ok, I'm really not bent out of shape about this, but I was a wee bit stressed about it last night. I can't stand not being on time, my kids not being on time, etc. I don't know why, but it drives me nuts. Last night was Naomi's...

puddebear You ever hear the phrase "don't sweat the small stuff"? I agree it is annoying, but if you are still upset a day later, maybe you need to let go. I don't mean your feelings aren't valid, but who is being hurt? You. Do you think THEY are still thinking about...

Are not discussions for discussing pros and cons? why so afraid to comment?

Patsie Hatley @Hatley (163773) • Garden Grove, California 1 Jun 10

I have seen several discussions where so many say they do not answer or respond to a lot of discussions as they disagree with the poster.' now I ask you fellow mylotters must we always agree with everything and be really honest...

puddebear You nailed it! As long as people can disagree without being disagreeable, I say go for it. However, sometimes I feel that a particular posting has been put up just to provoke anger, not open discourse. Those I tend to avoid. It's in the wording, not the...

Boxing at Congress:Do you believe that the there was cheating in 2010 elections?

TheAdvocate @TheAdvocate (2392) • Philippines 2 Jun 10

The Congress never fails to amuse me. Digs Dilangalen and Roilo Golez almost mixed-up in Congress after Roilo Golez objected to Digs motion. It was pathetic the way two supposedly respectable congressman act like school children....

puddebear I believe people have cheated in almost every election ever; however, I also feel that 2010 was a really bad example. No one will ever really know how bad it was, but I don't think anyone is really happy with how the election was handled. Our current...

How do we make her stop biting?

Shar19 @Shar19 (8231) • United States 17 Apr 10

As some of you know we have a puppy. She is a beagle and lab mix and she's about 12 weeks old. She's really a good puppy except for one thing - she likes to bite our hands and legs. The vet said to get a spray bottle with water...

puddebear I would suggest the stuff you get for kids to stop them biting their nails. It's harmless for babies, so it should be okay for the pup. Also, try "doggie no" spray on furnishings she likes to chew, test it first on a hidden area. I don't know if this can be...

puddebear Well, we share everything else, so why not? Actually, years ago Dear Abby had a question about "do I stay or do I leave him?" and she asked the lady if she would share her toothbrush with him. It was supposed to be a way to determine your own commitment to the...

CONTROVERSIAL maybe ! But are social network sites good for you..

HADDOWZ @HADDOWZ (1469) 16 Apr 10

Nowadays social networking sites have been made so simple absolutely anyone and everyone can use them, but is this really a good or a bad thing. I can see both sides to this argument and would like to know other peoples views on...

puddebear I think it has a place. I don't get out as much as I used to and this gives me a chance to not feel so isolated. (I am a cancer survivor and I only work a few hours a week now, but I used to have 2 jobs)

puddebear Yes. I worked two jobs for so long that I forgot myself completely. It took cancer to slow me down. Now I "doodle" a lot and my boyfriend thinks I should sell my work. Even coloring in a coloring book with the grandkids makes me feel peaceful. Talk about a...

puddebear I think that Mylot will help some with common usage and vocabulary, but the grammar is terrible. American English is different from the English used in England. Even different areas within America pronounce words differently and have different common usage....

Do you believe in Miracles? Have you had a miracle happen in your life?

Christmas2006 @Christmas2006 (1661) • United States 16 Apr 10

this is not a discussion on believing in God or if God does miracles. It is a do you believe in miracles and have you had one in your life? I believe in miracles. I have had lots of miracles in my own life. I know I am alive...

puddebear Lots of miracles! I was a premature baby with lung problems back in 1960, when there weren't a lot of treatments. I am here only by the grace of God. When I was a teenager, I asked my doctor if my lung problems were inheritable, because I didn't want to bring...

The Bucket List

sophiaraine @sophiaraine (1113) • Philippines 16 Apr 10

If you only have a few more months to live, are you going to write a bucket list just like what Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman did? (bucket list- list of the things you want to do before you die)

puddebear Nope! I have been told that so many times, I finally decided to live every day like it is the only one I have, because that is the truth. If I made a list, I might focus on that instead of the joy of living this day with my loved ones. If I can do something,...

Cheese Sandwiches for a punishment?

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 16 Apr 10

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Students at a New Jersey high school have learned not to mess with the lunch ladies. Cafeteria workers at Atlantic City High School served only cheese sandwiches Wednesday and Thursday as...

puddebear I think it was an innovative way to respond to an old problem in school cafeterias. If they think the cheese sandwiches were bad, they should have gone to my high school. They were making pizza one day, which was barely edible in the first place, and ran out...

Does God exist?

mezulu @mezulu (166) • United States 16 Apr 10

This is a serious question, and therefore I only want to see serious answers. No answers like "Yes!" or "Yeah because the bible says so!" I want to have a serious discussion about YOUR beliefs on this matter. I am agnostic. I...

puddebear I do believe in God. There have been a lot of things that contributed to my beliefs, but one that stands out is: I was about 11 or 12 years old. I had an accident on my bicycle and stopped breathing. (I had existing respiratory problems.) Before the doctor got...
