katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 19 Sep 15

Where oh where is the Mylot filter to home in on discussions by people we want to read? Surely we don't have to don the wellies to wade through lots of guff to find the gems. I've spotted there are top which seems to be the same...

I'll be seeing less of you for a while.

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 17 Jan 10

Call it mylot overdose. I posted a discussion about a week ago and although I was happy to see my friends there I got too many responses from others which were just pointless, and it was a chore suddenly to answer them. This...

Advice on Helium use please.

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 8 Jan 10

Hi all, I have just put a couple of articles on this site but am completley baffled by all this rating system they have. It isn't clear at all when one gets paid, or how much. What do you do, just keep writing articles and then...

Even if you're just an armchair traveller you may have been surprised when seeing the news, or reading about, the different cultures in foreign climes. You may even have run into a few in real life. What do you think would be...

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 5 Jan 10

Sometimes at night I've noticed small stick like insects stuck onto the outside of the mosquito blind but never noticed any in daylight. This afternoon I saw what I presumed was a long olive stick attached to my wooden balcony...

Off with their Heads. Bring back the guillotine.

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 1 Jan 10
