Hey guys do you have any bases of wanting or inviting friends here on mylot? I mean, why we never invite all members here to be our friends, why we just selected few and add few? Did you based it on her/his quality of discussions...

Amythyst I just don't have the time to request people. Certain people would likely not want me to be their friend though--especially those with certain political views. Although I don't have a party I belong to--I just like to make people wake up to reality sometimes.

There are many people who feel that VP Chaney has gone too far speaking out against the direction the War on Terror is going and he has some Ulterior Motive for doing so. He stated back when he was selected fro the VP position...

Amythyst Basically, he wants people to believe he is right, even though the Bush presidency proves that they didn't handle it right.

Amythyst I don't know--I got a pretty good idea of the constitution from my last history course. I'm just saying it's better than running the risk of being tossed in Guantanamo for disagreeing with wasting the people's money on Iraq when we could have defended...

Amythyst The gas prices are going up due to increased driving and the vacation season right now--kind of 'tis the season for gas gouging. I'll be concerned when I have to pay $3.00 to over $.00 a gallon again, basically.

Amythyst I didn't vote for Bush either time as I knew what he would turn out to be just by his debates before getting into office. Bush was very careless and did what other Republicans wanted and put the country into this mess. Obama is trying very hard to fix it. I...

Amythyst No, we don't lose that ability. Some people think it's mature to worry about work and a lot of responsibility. However, you can actually get paid to have fun--like being a comedian, singing, and other items. Work is just basically something that gets in the...

Amythyst I have lenses on Squidoo, but only make about a dollar here or there. Maybe I will see if I can post a link on my profile here to help me out. I guess I thought you couldn't get people to look at your own pages directly on the forums. I have about 49 lenses on...

Amythyst It depends on what you want for customer service. At a large store, I never ask for customer service unless I really cannot find anything because its actually faster for me to find it myself. I think that customers that expect you to hold them by the hand and...

Amythyst I don't really want to see any remakes as most originals are better inthe long run. In some cases I'd like to see less remakes by Hollywood and more originality that relies on story more than shock factor.

Amythyst I'm 33 years old and not married ever--sad isn't it? Well maybe not so sad when some people seem to end up with not so great partners. It's just sad because I'd like to continue the family line as my brother doesn't seem very interested. Maybe when I get...

Amythyst Aldi is really great and cheaper than Wal-Mart--however it is similar in size and items to its competitor Sav-A-Lot--who, unlike Aldi, alllows more than just cash as a payment. I don't keep the kind of cash a grocery order at Aldi might cost on me, so unless...
