soooobored @soooobored (1184) • United States 30 Jun 09

I just had an aggravating discussion with a Verizon Fios rep (see below). She seemed as clueless to the service as I did!! However, so far the price seems SO MUCH better than what I pay now for Comcast, I'm just very uneasy about...

soooobored @soooobored (1184) • United States 3 Dec 08

I fall in and out of love with MyLot, and during periods where I'm bored with discussion topics I might just jump in and check out what my MyLot friends are up to. I find the weirdest things in the Interests section! I keep my...

Working out is making me break out!

soooobored @soooobored (1184) • United States 10 Nov 08

OK, I'm trying to get back down to my fighting weight (ie, fit into my work wardrobe again when I start a new job!), and I'm doing alright. Five pounds so far! However, working out is making my skin break out, pretty gross! I...

What is the one thing you won't do for a job?

soooobored @soooobored (1184) • United States 28 Oct 08

This is for the members in here who have been broke and desperate, not for the members who have safety nets!! I've had tons and tons of jobs, and I will probably continue to work tons of jobs, with part time jobs, and doing...

Would you refuse to serve a pregnant woman?

soooobored @soooobored (1184) • United States 20 Oct 08

There are a lot of laws that bartenders are held accountable for, although they aren't always informed of what they are! I have always refused to serve visibly pregnant women when I'm bartending, and I've never thought twice about...

Should parents be allowed visitation if the child doesn't want to see them?

soooobored @soooobored (1184) • United States 7 Oct 08

Custody disputes are ugly. When I was little, about 4-5, my parents were going through a divorce and custody battle. I remember that whichever parent I was with is the parent I "wanted to live with", I was scared to hurt anyone's...

There is a new product from Chloraseptic that apparently blocks airborne allergens from ever entering your body, rather than just attacking the symptoms. It is a clear gel that you apply around your nose, and (my boyfriend laughed...

Neanderthal Interbreeding? Neanderthal introduced language to humans?

soooobored @soooobored (1184) • United States 30 Sep 08

Human evolution has always interested me, but for the past few years I've been out of the loop! I've always thought that Neanderthals didn't just get replaced by modern humans, and typically I will enthusiastically pursue any...
