chulce @chulce (1537) • United States 22 Jan 10

Over the years as I have watched my sisters grow into the young women that they are; I have grown to resent and hate my mother. Yes, I do love her and I do respect her for giving me life, but I hate and resent some of the many...

tpatton82 Your kids are young enough it shouldn't affect them to a huge degree. I understand it would be hard on you, leaving your friends and the life you've made. I guess my biggest concern would be the son your husband has with his ex. What is that situation? Who has...

Can Educated People Always Be A Good Leader/Model? What's Your Opinion?

dencher315 @dencher315 (155) • Philippines 21 Jan 10

Parents including myself put education as the number one priority for their children. Even if they don't have enough money for food, shelter, and clothing, they would certainly send their children to school in order for them to be...

role model

tpatton82 I think education helps but I don't think it's a guarantee for a better life/person. I have a high school education from a large public school which pushed more for athletics than education. I started working when I was 16 and have been working ever since....

tpatton82 You have to read more than just this article to base your judgement. You also need to take into consideration that anything put on the web is going to be stored somewhere. This is where commonsense needs to come into play. I have been on FB for over a year...

Do you review or spell check before publishing your discussions?

alohagems100 @alohagems100 (565) • United States 18 Jan 10

I think it is important and it contributes to quality posts here in Mylot. Anyone can access the web not only Mylot members. For instance, if we are going to search something in Google and one of the Mylot dicussions appeared, and...

tpatton82 I try to, especially if it's a lengthy post or response. That is one of my biggest pet peeves. If I start to read a discussion and there are errors or it runs together, I have to stop reading it. At some point, I will completely forget what the topic even was...

What do you think about somebody with yellow teeth , or without a tooth smiling

icesmile @icesmile (7160) • Romania 18 Jan 10

How much you care for your teeth? What can be uglier than yellow teeth? Can you imagine anything uglier than a yellow smile? No one is perfect, of course, but we must have the good sense to know how to hide what we will put to...

tpatton82 This is really harsh and very hurtful. Growing up my mother did the best she could raising me on her own, but dental care wasn't covered by insurance and wasn't something we could afford. I brushed daily, but until I got my own dental insurance when I was 22,...

tpatton82 I missed the first game but the Cardinals/Packers game was good to the end. Some of the catches made, calls missed. All-in-all it was a good game.

tpatton82 I would love the country but having grown up there, I don't think my kids would like it. My ideal place would be a small town. Not middle of nowhere but not big city. Somewhere I don't have to worry about my kids riding their bikes down the streets or playing...

Where did we go wrong?

worldwise1 @worldwise1 (14885) • United States 8 Jan 10

Do you keep your Christmas Cards?

blue65packer @blue65packer (11826) • United States 8 Jan 10

I do. I don't like doing that! I like keeping the memories! There have been times I have gone through my cards and will throw away some. It is one of the few times I like about the holidays and that is receiving Christmas cards!

tpatton82 Christmas cards, birthday, anniversary....whatever. I keep them all. I'm not sure why because I never go back and look at them again. It's just something I can't seem to part with or throw away.
