I know that if you commit suicide you go to hell. That is one of the sins that god will not forgive you for. My boyfriends uncle drank himself to death and the funeral is Thursday. He knew that if he didn't stop drinking that his...

Okay here is my question? Are hobbies gender related etc? Like model cars are a mans hobby? Needlework is a womans hobby? I am just curious as to what others here feel about this gender relationship to hon=bbies. I ask because I...

susieq223 Yes, I think hobbies are gender related in the minds of many people, but not in actually doing them. Anyone--male or female can and should do whatever appeals to them. I do find needlework relaxing and productive and I can do it anywhere, including while I am...

susieq223 I have favorite authors in different genres, but I guess my overall favorite is Mercedes Lackey. She writes Science Fiction Fantasy and I gobble up her new books as soon as they come out. I have read many of them over and over again. Yes, I do recommend her...

I remember one time when I was working at a temp job, I was not familiar with the area, so my husband took me the first day. The second day, I felt comfortable going on my own, I had no problem getting to work the next day, it...

susieq223 I have gotten lost several time while driving. Usually it is because I misread signs. When I travel and get lost, I think of it as an adventure. If I have to be somewhere on time it is an annoyance. I don't drive much after dark, but then it would be scary.

I love the process of preparing and enjoying a bowl of nice, warm soup when it's cold outside. It's great comfort food! Does anyone else feel the same? What kind of soups do you enjoy?

susieq223 I like most any kind of soup, but my favorite to make on a cold day or when I am feeling blue, is potato soup. I cut the potatos up small, use real butter and whole milk. I also add chopped onions and a little bit of chicken bouillion for seasoning. It is full...

susieq223 Don't count on much money very fast here. Just read, post and enjoy interacting with the people here. Don't do it for the money, you will be very disappointed. Some people say they earn a dollar a day, but that is spending many hours on site. Welcome to myLot...

I've noticed some discussions with large number of respondents but not all of them were commented back. I can't blame the Posters, they certainly have reasons for that. What a big privilege it is to have been responded by so many!...

susieq223 Since I do try to respond to everyone who posts to my discussions, I feel very fortunate that I have not had to deal with such a large number! I, too, have wondered how people who get huge responses deal with them.

susieq223 Oh yeah! What you have said is very true. I get the impression sometimes that a lot of people on myLot don't really like to think about what they post--just want to keep the numbers up. Silly questions are a lot easier to answer.

I need a little help to put some weight on my 16-year-old son. I don't think he's even 100lbs yet. He's 5 feet 8 inches. I'm pretty sure he eats at school but one never knows. We eat mostly Indonesian dishes--lots of rice and...

susieq223 I really can't add anything else to what has already been said. He probably is like many teens and growing up before he grows out. He may also have a high metabolism rate. If other members of the family tend to be slender, then that is probably the reason he...

susieq223 I don't color my hair very often, only when I get tired of the "dirty" blonde look. Fortunately, I either don't have any grey or it doesn't show up in the blond that much. Anyway, the last time I did mine I used Loreal and it worked fine. I have never had a...

As we all know.. we have our own meanings of love... for you, how will you define love? For me, i will define love as "Love is blind" because it is really true... that love is blind... doesn't matter how pretty she is or handsome...

susieq223 I always thought my husband did a good job of defining love. He said "Love is a willingness to be inconvenienced." I don't think of love as being blind--I think of it as seeing the good things and forgiving the "bad" things.

susieq223 Thank you for your thoughts, Raydene. I agree that death of a mate is easier than divorce/relationship ending. I have been through both. With death there is no lingering bitterness. Because he was ill so long, we had a lot of time to talk and plan about...
