Metallion @Metallion (2227) • United States 23 Dec 06

I've noticed a lot of one word responses are common from people on here that don't speak english very well. I've also noticed a lot of paid to read programs won't allow members from countries such as Russia, China, India,...

clark16 @clark16 (375) • Philippines 23 Dec 06

for me, the best thing I have found with mylot (though I'm newbie here) is I've learned from other peoples comments and responses. It seems like my knowledge were improving in all aspects. I though I've learned enough for myself,...

Recycling things

emilieespino @emilieespino (963) • Philippines 23 Dec 06

Do you practice recycling? If you do, what are the things that you recycle? I've been doing it since childhood, I guess because it has always been practiced at home and also because we were poor and I came from a big family. We...

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 23 Dec 06

For me personally, I had an allergic reaction to a bonding compound at the dentist. I went to have my teeth cleaned and he found a place that needed repair but since it was only a checkup he covered it with an antisensitivity...

Fighting with your Partner

Jshean20 @Jshean20 (14348) • Canada 23 Dec 06

How often would you say is normal to have a fight with your partner? I ask this because my boyfriend and I seem to fight a lot but we still love each other so it's hard to know what to do...we've been together for two years and it...

smehta You fight with someone you love. Fighting does not mean you hate your partner. Some fighting is normal. You start your life with someone new and so some disagreement are bound to happen. The fighting and disagreement are common but the way you deal with them...

If you could have a super power what would you choose to have?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 12 Dec 06

Anyone who's seen the new tv series Heroes can relate to this question. Some of the people on there can stop time, never become injured, fly, and so one. What one thing would you like as a super power? I'm not sure anything...

smehta All of the heros that work for the greater good have awesome powers. I love how Hiro can stop time, and how Claire is indestructable. Of all of the powers I think Peter's power of transference is amazing. Alone he hasn't discovered his strength, but with...

Teachers overstepping bounds

4monsters4me @4monsters4me (2569) • United States 9 Dec 06

Mickie30 @Mickie30 (2626) 9 Dec 06

Do you think its wrong to tell your children that there is a santa? My daughter is 1 and I don't know when she is older to tell her about santa. Is this what you would call a harmless lie? It's just as a Christian its...

smehta I have taught kindergarteners for 5 years and I have taught in elementary schools for 7 1/2 years. Seeing the joy in the eyes of the little ones when they think of Santa I do not think that you are wrong in letting your child believe as long as she believes...
