oldboy46 Yes Jen it can sometimes be very hard to find some time just to relax and unwind but these days I think it is something we really have to do. It helps us both mentally and physically to take a bit of a break from everything and if you can do that you wil feel...

Do you have an email account set up just for myLot?

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 2 Feb 11

I didn't think about it when I first started myLot so my notifications and such just go to my regular email...well...the one I use most. I am ok with it that way but I have pondered the fact that one might want to have an email...

Does it really matter to you where it's made ?

ibuemma @ibuemma (2953) • United States 23 Aug 09

When you shop for any item at the store, usually the label or the box tells you where the item made. It could be any countries in the world, Made in China, made in USA, made in Japan, etc, etc. I just wonder if it does matter to...

oldboy46 It does matter to me where the products we buy are made and as much as possible we only buy Australian made. That is getting harder of course as so many products are now being products in countries which have much lower wages and standard of living that we do....

oldboy46 Yes it is a great idea to have a cookbook/recipes that can be passed through the generations. My mother never had that as they migrated to Australia after the end of "world War II and by that time she had been a 'slave' in another European country for many...

Fundraisers!

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 27 Feb 09

I have done so many fundraisers that I really dread it when they come around. If you involve your children in extra curriculars it's really just a matter of time before you start peddeling strange products around to anyone who...

oldboy46 It can be good and depends on what is on offer of course. The fact is though that we do live in a small town and so there is a limited "market" for things like this unfortunately. The schools would have Fetes once a year and maybe a street stall where they...

Creepy Shower Curtains...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 20 Feb 09

All of us have our own way of doing things and some things are done out of habit. So, I’m wondering for those that have or have had shower curtains…do you keep them open or closed when your not in the shower or tub? I keep...

oldboy46 We actually have a glass screen on the 2 sides of our shower at home and the other 2 sides are against the tiled wall. The glass screens are very lightly frosted, so it is possible to see if anyone is in there or not. However one of the places I often stop for...

KRYPTONATE Nike Foamsite shoes sold in EBay is a big FAKE!!!

totallyundecided @totallyundecided (3190) • Philippines 20 Feb 09

i was browsing for updated dunks in sneakerobsession.com and it was one of the headlines that the shoes which was being auctioned in ebay was a big fake. and i really felt bad because the highest bid was $20, 000. KATC, who...

3 responses

oldboy46 This is so wrong and there is a strong possibility that the deal was not actually finalised, i.e. the money paid over to the seller after the auction finished. I do not like to see people taken advantage of at all but I also have to say that if the winning...

oldboy46 Jen you should be very proud of the work that you have done on this painting. It is incredible and you surely are very talented and more so when you only had a black and white picture to draw from. If the woman is not happy with the end result, then I doubt...

Do you like it spicy?

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 7 Feb 09
