I have some bulbs that are a nice yellow and I don't know the name of them. Is there a good website that I can look at that has photos of flowering bulbs? Any suggestion would be appreciated. The photo attached is the flower I am...

EmTeeBee Definitely a freesia. They are also my favourite flower. I love the evenings when the air is filled with their heady perfume. Sensational little bulb. They are quite happy to naturalise themselves and will come up year after year in the garden without much...

you were exiled away from your home country. My top three would be : 1. Tea (as in cups of); 2. Driving on the left; 3. The English countryside.

EmTeeBee The wide open spaces, vegemite sandwiches made with frest white bread, the smell of lemon scented gum leaves on the evening air.

I thought of this discussion because of a response I got to another discussion. Anyway, to the people who are upset, outraged or otherwise against current gun laws, policies or whatever, I would like to know exactly what is it...

EmTeeBee As an Australian, I have seen the effect of the tightening of the gun laws on my family. They were all responsible gun owners, brought up on the land, with a healthy respect for the power of the weapons. All had their guns registered and held current licences....

I have noticed that many people on myLot use poor grammar! I'm not saying that mine is perfect, but it is readable. I am new to myLot so I was just wondering if I happened to come across some bad posts, or if this is what I should...

EmTeeBee It did bother me when I started, but for many of the reasons already given, I have stopped letting it worry me. Focus your attention on the issue being discussed, and the ideas that the person is putting forward. I will admit, though, that the use of text...

I always knew that about her, because she was always doing some strange things? I said it about a month ago, I thought this girl is off her Rocker, No really she just needs help. What do you think about here. first I thought Oh,...

EmTeeBee I, too, say bravo butterfly. Let the poor girl get the care and medical attention she so desperately needs without the constant scrutiny from the paparazzi. Certainly along with celebrity comes the media attention, but it's all gone too far. The media coverage...

My kid is 5-year old and is becoming realize the difference between man and woman, especially the secret part. I try to explain it to her. How can I do that? When did you explain that to your kids? It is an inevitable thing for...

EmTeeBee Answer her questions honestly, and use the correct anatomical terms. If she is old enough to ask the questions, then she is old enough for an honest answer - not too detailed, just honest. It's worked for my 2. We never use "secret" words or "pet" names for...

Ok. I've been on MyLot for about a month now. I still don't know what an unresolved discussion is. Can anyone help me here, please?

unresolved discussions

What is with some people's need to share the horror stories of their labour? Strangers seem comfortable sharing the most uncomfortable details with you, regardless of how little they know you. I can understand the common thread of...

EmTeeBee Great advice, mommynews. Your labour - your way. I agree that it's also important to keep that open mind, and keep those options open. My 2 deliveries were very, very different. What worked for one definitely did not work for the other. At the end of the day,...

EmTeeBee Absolutely agree. If we were all a bit more self aware, and listened to our unconscious thoughts, we might just have an easier path through life. I also believe in what goes around comes around. There has to be some Karmic retribution for those who make life...

EmTeeBee Absolutely. And there is always a reason for the dislike, whether we are aware of it or not. Because most people are socially well adjusted, we can deal with those we dislike in an socially acceptable manner. But I do believe that there are some people who...

EmTeeBee I do think it's human nature - to seek out and share common experiences with others. It's the basis of so much human interaction, from support groups through to book clubs! I think there is merit in this. What I found uncomfortable was the unsolicited advice...

EmTeeBee What an eloquent way to put it. This describes it perfectly. My mother in law was a big advocate for taking it all with a grain of salt!

EmTeeBee I agree with compumom, the common theme here is stress. It can take many sneaky forms, and exhaustion is when your body has had enough. It's important that you make some time in your day to have a break and do something completely different. Sitting at a...
