Would you judge or be understanding.

I was at the store last week. I was just picking up a few items. I had passed this lady, that was shopping and had quite a cartload of groceries. Her son was acting up a bit, but she seemed to be keeping it under control. As she...

wendimac I would be understanding because I have a 16 year old who is autistic, and sometimes he goes into a tantrum for one reason or another, and if we are at the grocery store or the shopping mall, people will stare, shake their heads, make snide comments... When...

Did Bob Marley Really Die?

kiergwapo @kiergwapo (205) • Philippines 15 Oct 10

Hello mylotters! Do you still love the songs of Bob Marley? I honestly still love his songs! If i listen to his songs, It seems that Bob Marley is still alive. Maybe he died but he is always alive with his songs of freedom. He...

wendimac I couldn't agree more. Something about his music keeps him alive, and everything that he stood up for. Whenever his music is played, his spirit is definitely alive.

wendimac If I live to be 70, I hope I have as good an attitude as you do. I just turned 41 last week, and to be very frank, it really depressed me. My son is nearly grown up, and it seems like time has just flown by, or slipped away, or something. Anyway, you have...

Why are essays always left to the last minute?

Rostow @Rostow (59) 11 Mar 11

Is it just me or do other people leave their essays to the last minute? I had to run today just to hand my essay in on time at university which is not a very clever move. Is it human nature to try and avoid essay writing?

wendimac When I was in college, I always left my essays and term papers to the last minute. I think that because it isn't the most pleasant activity, we keep putting it off, because we think that we have plenty of time to do it. So, yes, I believe it is human nature to...

Last September I had an agressive male neighbour shout and swear at me and them slam my own window in on me which caused nerve damaged where the force was so hard it damaged my elbow. I telephoned the police and they came out and...

wendimac This is a serious situation. This guy is obviously stalking you and your son in an effort to intimidate you for what purpose? Who Knows. Some people are just crazy and the police should have dealt with him. Some people are just bullies. You need to call police...

wendimac Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens in many workplaces. It's not fair when you have to pick up someone else's slack, especially when it is causing you to lose some of your free time. I can't begin to tell you how many lazy people I have had to work with...

wendimac I think that it is possible to love someone else, but if you are already with somebody, I think a decision needs to be made as to whom you want to be with more. You can only make one true committment to one person, otherwise it's not really a committment.

wendimac Maybe the parents are crazy about Facebook! Or, maybe they are just plain crazy. What may have seemed cute or 'trendy' at the time will not look the same in 5 or 10 years. I just hope that the kid forgives mom and dad someday!

Would you feed the deer where you live?

ShannyBananny @shaggin (71663) • United States 6 Mar 11

I was at my friends house today and saw they had a bag of deer food. I was so shocked to see that someone actually puts out food for the deer. I thought that was so sweet. I had never thought to do that. We do get deer in our back...
