gman11377 This is a situation that I am very familiar with. My now ex-wife dropped a very similar bombshell about two weeks before our wedding. It wasn't 50000, more like 26,000 and some change. Actually I stumbled on the situation while starting to consolidate our...

Which country are you from?

Citizen_Stuart @Citizen_Stuart (2016) 22 Apr 08

I'm only asking this out of curiosity. In the early days of the internet it seemed very American-dominated, apparently because of the way phone calls were charged. It's probably a bit more cosmopolitan now. I've only been on...

gman11377 Nah, used to be a purchasing agent for the Air Force. The UPS guy used to call me that (good lord, I think some days I saw him 5 or 6 times)and it kinda stuck.

gman11377 Currently I am sitting on my old couch, peering at the tv over the top of my laptop. Having a portable I am all over the house, but I am usually in the living room as it is the least messy. We are currently remodeling our house, so appliances and furniture and...

What type or brand of beer do you like?

AnakSuNamun @AnakSuNamun (2084) • United States 22 Apr 08

I'm into Coronas(no lime) or Heineken(even though Heine is a bit too bitter sometimes). Maybe some Stella Artois every once in a while or Miller Lite if it's on sale:))))) What suggestions do you have? I believe Guinness is the...

gman11377 Red Stripe is a good start, if you like light and sweet try Hornsby's cider for a twist. Something really different to try would be Dixie Blackened Voodo Lager. Good luck finding it outside of the south though. Japan also has some excellent imports. One starts...

gman11377 I'm from the USA. As you can see from your responses, mylot seems truly international. I love that factor of the internet, bringing the globe together, people sharing ideas in real time across the world.

gman11377 The answer is simple, parents are scared of their kids these days. We have become more concerned with the children's feelings than their actions. I can remember the couple of times that I raised my voice to my parents, my butt is still sore. I am my childrens...

gman11377 This is where responsible gun ownership comes into play. We teach our children to respect stoves, and fire and hot things. Once they have touched it, they wont want to anymore. We teach them to respect sharp objects, and to be careful. Once they have cut...

Have you ever been to a therapist for depression?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 22 Apr 08

A lot of people look down on those who go to therapists because they think because they can handle their depression and feelings they feel everyone should be able to. Not true...not everyone can do it. I've tried and for me it...

gman11377 I dealt with depression for years, and had tried talking to friends, pastors, parents, and so on. All of those people had an angle, they were all coming from a specific idea for "helping". Once things reached a head after moving to montana, a very caring...

gman11377 I think having your own garden is great, especially if you grow just the tasty treats that you love. I am a blueberry nut, so I have a couple of bushes in the backyard as well as peaches, and wild blackberries. Last year we planted watermelons, and had a...

Would you like to live a 100 years old?

claire03 @claire03 (1443) • United States 21 Apr 08

If given a chance to live long, would you like to live a 100 years old? i think this would be a great achievement to reach 100 years of age to see your kids have a family, see your grandkids grow up and have their own kids too,...

gman11377 Just "making it" to 100 wouldn't be that much fun. Now if quality of life at that advanced age were high then I might like it. I have several grandparents and great uncles who hit close to that age, and my grandmother is currently 94. She has a fairly good...

If you were moving, and could only take what could fit in your car.......

palonghorn @palonghorn (5479) • United States 21 Apr 08

what would you take? This discussion was started because of one I just responded too about 'if your house was on fire'. I moved 1600 miles 3 years ago, I was driving a Sunfire at the time, and was only able to bring what I could...

gman11377 Funny that you shoud ask. I moved two years ago to Montana from Georgia, and we set up housekeeping there with only what could fit in our truck. The rest of our household stuff got lost in transit and took more than 5 months to arrive. We had planned for this...
