Women Never Win

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 18 Dec 10

Sometime ago I've started a discussion about a court case where a husband (now ex) was suing another man for enticing his wife. The case is not over yet. Today's local papers on the front page this man claimed that their daughter...

quinnkl I think this woman, whoever she is, is a disgrace to all the rest of us women. Obviously she did not take her marriage seriously, so why did she bother getting married at all? That makes no sense to me. Exactly to drag a poor little child into all of this......

What the web knows about you?

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 16 Dec 10

I have only discovered lately that two pieces of simple data - your name and your e-mail address can unlock a shocking number of details about you even if you consider yourself to be a private person who carefully guards your...

quinnkl I agree, this is one of the scariest things about the cyberworld. No matter how wonderful technology is (and I LOVE it), privacy goes out the window in one way or another online. Sadly it will probably get worse before it gets better.

Facebook or Twitter Link in myLot?

yuna15 @yuna15 (2706) • Philippines 15 Dec 10

Why not? A lot of websites are already using a Facebook link so that they can share it on Facebook or even Twitter. News, entertainment, games, computers, opinions, etc. Would it be feasible for the website? I think it will...

quinnkl I am NOT a fan of facebook or twitter or any of the social blog type things out there. I guess as a mom of teenagers I don't feel it is safe. I don't like the idea that the world is becoming less socially active in person instead of online. And I dont' like...

Are you sending cards this christmas?

pweety_princess @pweety_princess (2012) • Australia 15 Dec 10

Lets admit, in this day and age with the internet around, alot of us are just going to be chucking away the stamps and envelopes, except me! I like to write cards as it is more traditional and actually makes it look like you...

quinnkl I was always the only one in my family (five kids, and my mother's family had 6, and will include them as they NEVER sent cards), who sent cards for every occasion every year up until 5 years ago. After my cancer episode, I started emailing cards for...

quinnkl I am just wishing for less snow than last year so we can get together as a family. Last year we had major snow storms, one right after another here in NE and family was not able to get here for Christmas. So THAT is my wish this Christmas.

quinnkl Unfortunately as a mother of a son, I get myself gifts often. I "reward" myself with a book I want or something I want each year. This year (with the help of Christmas cash gifts included) I am putting extra money in and finally getting myself a kindle. I am a...

Cruise Ships

koalatbs @koalatbs (2229) • United States 10 Dec 10

Have you ever been on a cruise? If so, what cruise lines did you use & how'd you like it? My son's high school band has been invited to play on the Carnival Sensation Cruise ship in March!

quinnkl I have never been on an actual cruise myself (though was on a cruise ship overnight from France to Ireland). My parents just took a cruise and really enjoyed it. WOW! That is so cool that their high school band has been asked to play. I hope they get to enjoy...

McDonalds Employees threatened if Republicans don't win.

ladybugmagic @ladybugmagic (3978) • United States 29 Oct 10

Just when you thought the republicants wouldn't go any lower - they have yet another form of voter intimidation. Employers telling their hard working employees they won't receive raises or benefits if the republicans don't...

quinnkl IF it is true, then yes I am angry about it. That is like buying votes. That is illegal. Something should be done about that if true.

What is with all the Bible quotes in the politics thread?

ladybugmagic @ladybugmagic (3978) • United States 31 Oct 10

I understand the quotes of presidents past, or historians, or economists. But, what is with answering a political question with, Proverbs 20 dash 19 says .... ? Are those responding that way unable to answer the question on...

quinnkl Conservative Christians pushing Christianity and conservative views all in one bundle? Sure seem to be a lot religion pushing into politics these days. Wasn't that why "we" left England in the first place. It bothers me. Ah well.

Do you wish to live up to 100?

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 10 Oct 10

When I read today's paper I was shocked to see one page of it is filled with obituaries. What is more shocking is to see people dying young. At an age where I am now it frightens me to think that the end is near for me to move to...

quinnkl I don't think much about dying and age. It is just something they never really bothered me. I suppose if I spent time really thinking about it, that it might bother me. I just figure we live and we die, and the time we spend between the two is what needs to...

bonnie @bunnybon7 (50973) • Holiday, Florida 10 Oct 10

quinnkl We grew up on a farm and had several "little red wagons" over the years. We crashed and burned (so to speak) many of them! What fun they were! There were five of us kids in all and I believe there were still 2 or 3 wagons left to pass on to younger cousins as...

Correcting others grammatical errors in PUBLIC is embarrasing!

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 7 Oct 10

I came across a member here who before commenting to a discussion rudely pointed out the OP's grammatical error and wrote down the correct word. First and foremost, many of us here are not from English speaking backgrounds and...

quinnkl It is never alright to correct, put down or tell someone off because of an error in public. That is my opinion. If you have something negative to say, keep it between you and the person you have the problem with. I know TEACHERS who have done and do this to...
