Reading myLot comments is sort of like opening packages

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29413) • Eugene, Oregon 27 Sep 16

When you write a discussion and throw it out there, you really never know how it will go over. If you have been around a while and interact with a lot of people, chances are a lot of those myLotters will read and comment. Then...

Rach As you already know, I very much enjoy your discussions and comments. I never really thought about the comments like opening packages but you are certainly right. That's a great metaphor for it. Especially since the comments are so different and unique like...

Rach Honestly I try to avoid using gift bags when I am able, even if my wrapping is not perfect with odd shaped items. Personally I prefer tearing open the wrapping paper on a wrapped gift, but I think that's just me not wanting to grow up LOL. But honestly it...

Rach My husband sometimes prepares meals due to me being ill, but usually we cook together. I do the majority of the actual cooking, but he helps with chopping, washing dishes as I use them, and getting out items that I need for prep. It makes dinner time more...

Did I almost get sprayed by a skunk last night?

The Horse @TheHorse (218868) • Walnut Creek, California 27 Sep 16

I taught my 7PM to 10 PM Introductory Psychology class last night and was heading to my truck. It was actually about 11 PM, as a student and I had been chatting after class. As I neared the parking lot, on a semi-darkened path,...

Rach Well, As far as how much a person actually needs, I can't really speak on I'd say 6-8 ideally. For me personally, the sweet spot for sleep is between 3-5 hours. If I get less than 3 hours I feel like I can't wake up. If I get more then 5 hours I wake up more...

Rach I wouldn't say I have a specific criteria. I consider friends to be anyone I interact with online at least occasionally. I have SEVERAL online friends to be honest, some whom I remain in contact with frequently throughout the day every day.

Rach First of all, beautiful post. Sounds like you have a lovely family and life. You're right, things are definitely never perfect but it's not too hard to try to be content with life. I'd say for the most part, I'm very content with mine, of course I'd love it if...

What would you do?

kiran mehra @Pass12 (998) 28 Sep 16

I just had this random thought in my mind and I was really very curious to know your views on it. If you had a power to be invisible for a day, what would you do? My answer : i'd probably go to KFC and eat a lit of chicken buckets...

Rach LOL Well doesn't sound like you'd get into too much mischief while being invisible. Hmm...If it were me, I'm not sure what I would do exactly. I know I'd want to mess with some of my loved ones a bit, play jokes on them and such.

Rach I've not seen someone wearing a sheet with holes cut in it for several years now when it comes to Trick or treating. I think I would get a kick out of seeing one show up in a floral print sheet or perhaps one with little rainbows or something :)

Rach I've never heard of Niume myself, but if it's as pleasant as this site, I'd be interested in checking it out myself. Thanks for the mention. Hope to get more feedback on the site and payout. I will be keeping watch on this discussion.

Do you myLotters talk to strangers? I often do and it is usually fun.

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29413) • Eugene, Oregon 23 Sep 16
