Everyone is getting sick, how do I prevent getting the sickness from them?

crackx @crackx (628) • Belgium 3 Jan 11

Hey dear mylotters, recently my parents came back from a trip, but unfortunately they both had a cold when they got back and they still have it at this moment. In a few hours they will be going to the doctors, but since they both...

Lizzyshomework Usually the winter season is one of the worst times to be getting a cold. I try to be extra careful about washing hands before eating or touching my face, because this is the primary way to catch a cold (through touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with germy...

Lizzyshomework I agree with you, and my husband doesn't like it at all, either. They do tend to show way too much, or at least the best parts of the movie in the trailers. Then when you watch the movie, it can be really disappointing. What drives me even crazier is that the...

Is this really child abuse?

Humbug25 @Humbug25 (12540) 2 Sep 10

My youngest son, who is 5 years old, bites his nails. He has done so for over a year now and doesn't seem to be able to kick the habit even though I have threatened to paint his nails red haha. Both his elder brothers...

Lizzyshomework When my son was about four years old, he had a thumb sucking habit that we explained to him was not healthy. He did it almost without thinking. We decided to buy this stuff I think called "Stopsit" or something like that. You need to get the kind that does not...

Lizzyshomework When my son was about four, we put on some thumb stuff (you have to get the kind that won't wash off) I believe it was called "StopsIt", or something like that. Anyway, we painted it on his thumb, after explaining that it would not taste good, and that we were...

don't you hate people call after you fall asleep?

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 18 Aug 10

I understood that some people didn't do it on purpose. They might simply got a wrong number, and I just a little bit jumpy due to I was too tired last night. Around 11:30 P.M. night time. I already in my bed, and I am asleep. All...

Lizzyshomework I agree with some of the others. We leave our phone on in the other room, and my cell is being charged in another room, but the phone in our room never has the ringer on, so if someone calls we never hear it. My husband is a very light sleeper, so if we had it...

Lizzyshomework I never used to fall asleep, but I think the last time my husband and I went, we both fell asleep during the movie (for a short time), even though the movie was good. I know my husband is sleep deprived and I'm pretty sure I am, too. So, when you get in a...

Cellphones in School

vjenkins86 @vjenkins86 (1478) • United States 17 Aug 10

When I was in high school, cell phones were not allowed in classrooms. If a teacher saw it, they had the right to confiscate it for the day and it was your responsibility to get it back at the end of school. This of course upset...

Lizzyshomework At my daughter's high school, cell phones are allowed but must be turned off during school hours. If they are caught, the cell phone gets confiscated until after school, and the parent has to pick it up to get it back. This seems like a good policy, though my...

The curse-way of thinking, poor education or a hobby!?

desita @desita (5) • Bulgaria 13 Aug 10

There are people who who swear on a daily. They can not just communicate in another way, a question of culture. For some others it is a way to release tention caused by stress, fatigue, bad attitude. It can be a way to success,...

Lizzyshomework I think using bad language can be a part of your daily life if you've grown up with it and have heard it all around you. Either way, you need to make a choice at some point to start using this language or not. To me, it's very offensive, yet it's all around us...

If the Bible didn't exist would you still think there is a God?

Crazy_Poster @Crazy_Poster (751) • India 9 Aug 10

Do you think, people believe in GOD just only because The Holy Book Bible is Exist? the bible is a massively falsified source diluted by countless others throughout its history! OR do you think the Holy books are just something...

Lizzyshomework I believe in God, and I know I was brought to faith through what the words of the Bible said. I think it is possible to believe in God and not have the Bible, but it would surely be hard to understand who God is and the story He has to tell to all of us...

How well is your relationship with your mother-in-law?

kristeena @kristeena (358) • Philippines 7 Aug 10

As the saying goes "mother knows best", this phrase is like the mantra of many mothers-in-law. That's why most of them think that they need to keenly observe their daughters-in-law. Anyway, my mother-in-law is very easy to...

Lizzyshomework I love my mother-in-law. She is a friend to me, and we get along well. In fact, my husband says I am a lot like her. Anyway, yes, we don't always agree, but we talk things out and respect each other. We enjoy one another and even go out to breakfast sometimes...

To sneak or not to sneak?

jonnifc @jonnifc (1017) • Philippines 6 Aug 10

I've got a question: Is it better to sneak vegetables into your kid's food or not? We all know it's hard to convince our kids to eat vegetables. No matter how hard you try, they just won't eat them! So some resort to sneaking some...

Lizzyshomework I think it is better for kids if they learn to like vegetables in the first place. But some kids hate them, and it's fine to sneak them in, I think. In this case, the less they know about it, the better (for them and for their health). When my kids were...

Lizzyshomework I have bought cakes in the past, but usually I make the flavor cake the person likes the best. I also make homemade frosting, or use whipped cream mixed with vanilla pudding or something else. I think homemade cakes are so much better than anything you can buy...

critique

hushi22 @hushi22 (4928) 5 Aug 10

How do most people perceive critique? isn't it usually taken negatively? there are only few with open minds who can enjoy being affirmed and corrected. are you one? what can you share to have such open mind facing critique?

critique

Lizzyshomework I think most people don't want to be criticized unless they are looking for an unbiased person to really tell them what they think. Sometimes we get criticized when we are least able to take it. I think it also depends who is doing the critique and with what...

Did you cry during Toy Story 3?

olisaur @olisaur (1922) • United States 30 Jul 10

I finally saw Toy Story 3 with my best friend last week. I have a soft spot for Disney movies, and I found myself tearing up a couple of times. The part where they were in the incinerator and started to hold hands and the very...

Lizzyshomework Yes, I saw the same movie with my daughter, and felt the tears coming, especially at the part where Andy was giving the toys away. It was what he was saying, I think, about how his toys were real friends because they were always there for him, etc. This made...
