swak1962 Yea, it's alot of work. It's like working a regular 9 to 5 job this way. That might be another reason why I gave it up. I didn't want to work that hard.

What was the worst injury that you had?

heatspine @heatspine (1141) • Philippines 7 Mar 07

I can still remember ... It was my seventh birthday. I woke up early and excited. I went to the kitchen to see what my mom was preparing for breakfast. The meal was fried chicken and I anxiously waited for it ... I was so excited...

swak1962 I could come up with two such injuries. One was painful in the short term and the other painful in the long term. I use to ride and train race horses. These animals are high powered and high strung, where a person can easily be injured with them in an instant....

When you confess your sins a priest do you say all you sins?

Unknown @vertex (803) • Philippines 28 Jan 07

Confession is one of the rituals of catholic. They used to say all there sins and ask for forgiveness and penance. But do you say all your sins? I mean sometimes i just couldnt say all my sins like having an affair with a cousin...

2 responses

swak1962 "For all have sinned and fall short of the grace of God", as Jesus has said. Now I am not a catholic, but understand the concept of confession. The biggest thing I see in catholism is the recognizion of your sins and your willingness to make penance of such....

swak1962 Unfortunately, I don't post too much on MyLots. I look for posts to respond too. One time I had a hot topic to post, wrote it up on a word processor first, and then typed it into a 'start discussion' format. I didn't save the word processor program when I...

is it possible for men to get pregnant?

nyka08 @nyka08 (403) • Philippines 28 Jan 07

i know it seems really impossible for men to be pregnant, especially with the physical anatomy of the human body of man. i just remembered the movie "Junior" where in Arnold Schwarzenegger was made pregnant through in vitro...

swak1962 In Greek mythology, Zues gave birth to Athena, more or less to prove the fact that he did not need a woman to produce a child. Today's science has shown that a fertilized egg, implanted within the abdomen of a man, will implant itself to the muscular wall of,...

Do you think if a guy smiles back at you being polite or interested in you ?

Guys smile back to just be polite or does it means they are interested?

swak1962 In such a situation, it always seems to fall upon the man to make the "first move". It is these body language signals that we present of ourselves upon other people that we may unconsciously express. For example, you see a person whom your attracted to, you...

Why some people fear from dark?

Why some people fear from dark?

dark

fear

2 responses

swak1962 Basically, people's fear of the dark is the 'fear of the unkwon'. Alot of us rely on our sense of sight, and when that is denied to us, but our concentration is centered upon it, we tend to let our imaginations run away from us. We think we see something,...

swak1962 Yes, that is true! But not everyone can run right on out and buy a new piece of equipment when it starts failing on us. There's a line from the 1987 film "The Untouchables" which corperations are beginning to adopt. "It's not made to be good, it's made to...

Are left handed people smarter?

hirals @hirals (1736) • India 20 Jan 07

Is it true that left handed people are smarter and more talented or is it due to the smaller proportion of left-handers that we see more geniuses from that group?

2 responses

swak1962 Being left handed, of course, I'd like to think so. But as others have pointed out, the right side of the brain is the 'creative' side of the brain, and therefore, it's suggested that lefthanded people are more creative. For lefthanded people to perform in...

Dunn saddle

Mfauth @Mfauth (2) • United States 8 Jan 07

I am looking for the value of this saddle my daughter has. She was told it was handmade and it is stamped US Cavalry and the product name is Dunn and was made in San Antonio, TX or is there a town named San Angelos, TX?

1 response

swak1962 From what your describing, I'm assuming that this saddle is an antique, because the US Horse Calvalry hasn't had any combat duty since the turn of the 20th century. I'm wondering if the saddle has a full seat, or is an "open" seat, meaning is there a hole in...
