ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 5 Aug 16

My Mom was diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer's about 5 years ago. Lately she started exhibiting problems with her cognitive function. She was evaluated and found to have advanced to the middle stages of the disease....

harlen qualls I truelt feel for you. My aunt, who I grew up with, has no clue who I am anymore. It's like someone stole all of her memories of me away from her. Hard to swallow.

Do you like to patronage second hand stores?

snowy @snowy22315 (185082) • United States 3 Aug 16

I do buy things in there from time to time. I also donate items. I got a decorator shelf in our local Goodwill that was 2.99 as opposed to like 12 or 15 dollars on Amazon and Walmart. Plus, I had a 20 percent discount coupon from...

harlen qualls A lot of folks don't know this, but some sell brand new. I' bought brand new clothes from Goodwill before. My all-time favorite jeans are black metallic, (hard to picture, right?), and the $59.00 tag was still on it. I paid $4.00

This is not a mockery of religion, but I am confused about something....

****DANIELLE**** @VivaLaDani13 (60827) • Perth, Australia 12 Jun 16

I am not a religious person. I used to believe in God when I was little, then I became an Atheist and now, I like to call myself Agnostic because really, I have no clue whether there is a God or not. I've never seen him before....

Our friends that we used to live with have an 8 year old daughter. Apparently her parents were watching a movie with her there and told her to close her eyes during an inappropriate part. Well she didn't listen and she saw a...

harlen qualls When my daughter was 10, the same thing happened. I was infuriated! I don't applaud her going to grandma's?grampa's house anymore with another grandchild teaching her and stealing her innocence. I know the feeling.

DianneN @DianneN (247183) • United States 20 Feb 16

Don't be shocked. I want to give you a heads up, pardon the pun. I am going to change my profile picture, because I don't look like I used to. My hair is shorter and I don't wear bangs anymore. The question is, will you...

Do you miss MyLot when you're out of town?

The Horse @TheHorse (223029) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Feb 16

I admit that when I'm out of town, I miss reading and commenting on MyLot posts and discussions. I'm sure some of you take your mobile devices with you, but I do all of my reading and writing at home. Today, I'll be in Santa Cruz...

Should I Just Let Him Go?

Catherine @bluesa (15022) • Johannesburg, South Africa 18 Feb 16

I really did try being there for him. But, he has just shut down. It makes me so sad. Should I just let him go? The, he, I am referring to, is this guy I grew up kind of knowing. His parents and my parents were best friends, so...

harlen qualls Unless he's done something wrong, I wouldn't truly let him go. Just stay friends and talk every once in awhile. Sounds like he'd like not to lose you anyways. Being from the military, I slao came out different, but not as cold. Just '"grown up" I suppose.

Do you "auto pay" your bills?

Bella @Bella128 (2471) • United States 15 Feb 16

I don't like auto pay because I always fear they are going to overcharge me or something. I like manually paying every bill. Do you use auto pay when paying your bills? Have you ever had any issues with it?

harlen qualls I've had several issues with auto pay. Companies are guilty of usually running your money through after you are done with the service, and won't stop. I've been double-charged, over-charged, had excess accounts that were not mines charged. Companies take too...

I have an inkling that they are trying to get me to quit

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104628) • United States 14 Feb 16

I have a feeling that my job might be trying to get me to quit. Let me clarify, not so much my manager but the manager over the store. The manager over the store is the last one to see the schedules and either approve or change...

harlen qualls This has happened to me before: My boss had an 11 year-old kid who kept sexually harassing the waitresses. I pinned him to the corner and told him to knock it off. A week later, my 40 hour work week shrunk to 8 hours. The following week, no hours.

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 14 Feb 16

Not everyone needs a job

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 14 Feb 16

How do you motivate yourself to work?

Bella @Bella128 (2471) • United States 18 Nov 15

I think it's safe to say that a lot of people who are on here are freelancers of some sort. I know many people on here who are writers and I know a lot of people on here who are photographers. The question is how do you motivate...

Do you wait for inspiration to hit before you write?

Jo Ann @akalinus (44041) • United States 13 Feb 16
