western_valleygirl When we got married, one of my husband's friends didn't buy us a wedding gift. But, when this guy got remarried (which didn't last), we bought him a wedding gift. I was meeting his new wife for the first time, and didn't want it to reflect badly upon myself...

western_valleygirl I have had my Blackberry for 3 years (Gasp). Before that I had a Sony Ericsson also. It was pretty nice. But, I am a huge Blackberry fan. Being in the U.S it is cheaper to renew my contract with my phone provider than buying another phone straight up, so I...

Do you have a new years resolution?

lakerfanster @lakerfanster (2577) 31 Dec 10

At this time every year we decide something needs to change or something needs to happen for us. What is your new years resolution. Do you even make ones?

western_valleygirl Yes, every year I make the same one, but I can't tell you what it is because then it won't come true (sort of like wishing on a star ;) )

What is your background noise?

chulce @chulce (1537) • United States 29 Dec 10

I have a tendency to multi-task when I write. I know that sounds silly, but, I can't stand it to be quiet for to long, for what ever reason I need some other sounds going on around me. Not just the pounding of my fingers on the...

western_valleygirl I too, have background noise going on when I write. Especially, when I want to be creative, or have an essay due for school. I listen to music on Jango.com and have made my own radio stations. It is a great way to listen, since I have tried many other ways...

Fact or fiction?

shattered @shattered (1728) • Philippines 29 Dec 10

I was just wondering how many of the discussions posted on myLot are based on real life events and are their myLotters that post purely fictional stuff? I understand hiding details with fictional characters and settings, like...

I never went to college. I had my first child while I was in high school. I dropped out and got my GED before the rest of my class graduated.. but never got around to going to college. I kept telling myself I'd go back when life...

western_valleygirl I was in school for so many years, and then made a lot of decisions that took me out of school (and I did not finish my degree) as a college senior. For many years, I wantedto go back, and things just happened that I could not, and it was so frustrating,...

western_valleygirl As many others mentioned, Hulu.com has movies and tv shows. I believe there are also movies on ch131.com (as well as tv shows). You can also go to your library and check out dvds for free (at least in the US). Hope that helps!

Redistributing Wealth

bestboy19 @bestboy19 (5478) • United States 24 Dec 10

My mother and sister were talking about the grandchildren and how they want everything from their parents and grandparents and appreciate nothing. It got me to thinking about Obama's plan to redistribute the wealth. Can wealth...

western_valleygirl I think that in politics, one has to remember that if there is a reason why there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and if that gap is growing due to some political or financial actions that are actively promoting it, than there should be change....

western_valleygirl The important thing that I have found is writing EXACTLY the words that the professors are looking for. Sometimes, that is very hard for me to do, but if it is an interesting subject, than it gets easier. So, for example, if you are studying about...

Gift for a new mom?

thyst07 @thyst07 (2079) • United States 23 Dec 10

My cousin is having a baby soon, and I need help choosing a gift for her. She already has more baby stuff than she can handle, so instead of getting something for the baby I'd like to get something just for her. I've had a few...

western_valleygirl I don't have children either, but a lot of people that I know have kids, especially my sisters. I like to talk to them to see what they need. But, since she hasn't had her baby yet (your cousin), she might not even know yet exactly what she needs, except for...

bigcgifts @bigcgifts (87) • United States 22 Dec 10

western_valleygirl College is always going up. I just decided recently to go back to school, and I am paying an arm and a leg to pay for classes, books, supplies, etc. It is totally unfair that the prices keep going up. What I have noticed is that since the world is more global,...

western_valleygirl You really can't go wrong with a simple soup, and something baked in the oven. I really like the idea of just shoving a bunch of things in the oven for a while, and then coming back to find them done. For example, you can spice up a bird (like turkey or a...

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 20 Dec 10

western_valleygirl Well, it sounds like a pretty good concept. Several times I have told family and/or friends, I am not getting you anything, because I don't want to get you anything until I have the perfect gift, and so you will not be receiving anything from me. Then,...
