Handwriting

lacurandera @lacurandera (335) • United States 23 Mar 07

Which do you prefer--cursive or print? i print; my cursive is terrible, illegible and just ugly. BTW- I've head many teachers complaining because elementary schools are focusing less on cursive writing and more on typing...

Jane Lane I think everyone probably has a personal preference when it comes to handwriting but in terms of what you yourself should use when writing probably comes down to which you do better. I personally write more clearly in print. My cursive is nearly illegible--...

People with disabilities...

lady Di @lady1993 (27221) • Philippines 12 Jan 13

Sometimes i think it is better to just let them die.. It is very mean of me, i know. But since it is really horrible how some people torment them and make fun of them. The kids also feel they are a burden to their parents... But...

Jane Lane Your statement is not just "mean" as you say, it's ignorant and offensive. Firstly, you've made no distinction between physical and mental disabilities (not that I believe either are a burden to society and should be left to die). But some people have their...

Natural beauty

jricky1 @jricky1 (6797) • China 10 Jan 13

I believe it is important to a girl to have natural beauty.This can't be hide no matter what kind of cover from outside.And now more and more people are paying attention to that.My dad always tell me to be a nice and kind...

Jane Lane It's important we teach future generations to place more emphasis on inner rather than outer beauty for a multitude of reasons. The most significant one being that while outer beauty gets more rewarded by society- it's illogical because it is just a...

do you always wear make-up when you go out?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 5 Jan 13

Even when I go to the wet market or open market in the morning, I'd never miss to wear complete make-up. Is that weird? You can just imagine the works---foundation, powder, blusher, eyebrows, eyeliner, lipstick, etc. This really...

Jane Lane I don't always wear makeup. In fact, for me, makeup is a special occasion thing- when I'm going out to a bar/club or a nice dinner, etc. I think it has to do with being comfortable with yourself. If you feel you can't go out without makeup, makeup might be...

Jane Lane I just moved to a new country and I find that extremely lonely and difficult. Many people judge me on my accent alone making it difficult to make new friends. Simultaneously, I am trying to find a job made more difficult by the fact that I'm not a citizen....

Writing Love Story even though you're not InLove

I am an aspiring writer... and our bi-annual comics convention is coming but until now, i don't have any idea on what story should i write... of course, i like it to be a love story with a touch of family, friendship, slice of...

Jane Lane Rare ideas are not synonymous with successful stories. I'm getting my masters in Creative Writing/Literature and it's not about original ideas, in fact, many classics are based on simple over-used formulas: love triangles, boy meets girl, boy loses girl, etc....

Phone Journal

girl_thinking @girl_thinking (1959) • Philippines 13 Jan 13

I bought a new phone today and I downloaded an app for a diary/planner. I really like this application because I can change the skins and put different kinds of emoticons and themes on it. I can even change the font...

Jane Lane You could use the planner on your phone for 'planner like things' meaning dates, appointments, birthdays, meetings, deadlines, etc. And then with the paper planner, you could do what I've decided to do to keep 2013 a positive year and write down something...

Jane Lane It's good to be passionate about writing-- it's also good you've narrowed down the type of writing you want to explore-articles- because all different writing requires different tools and skills. For example, scriptwriting would require a keen sense of...

Hope he likes it!

mayrylflores @mayrylflores (173) • Philippines 4 Jan 13

Im planning to travel back home this month. Im excited to meet him again after how many months of waiting. Last December during Christmas day, I bought a gift for my cousin and suddenly I notice a cute little pillow. Shape like a...

Jane Lane Well surely he will like it since gifts aren't about the tangible object that they are but about the time and thought behind them. People should be touched by the thought and intention not by the actual gift itself or the material worth. It was sweet you...

Jane Lane Whenever I take a picture of myself I always angle so the left side shows. I also find it to be the more attractive side of my face.

Are you an Avid Reader???

bjc66bjc @bjc66bjc (6730) • United States 3 Dec 12

I will say that when I needed to read back in school/college I did but I just never got to the point that I loved it.. I can now start reading a book but now my attention span it 0-0 and I just can't seem to really get into a...

Jane Lane I have always been an avid reader ever since I was a child. Books always allowed me a form of escapism I craved and I always thoroughly enjoyed losing myself in stories that were not my own. I think the reason so many people tend to abandon books they are...

How many years it takes to heal broken heart?

deine86 @deine86 (115) • Philippines 7 May 12

Based on my experience, for me healing a broken heart takes 2 years. After two years, I can barely say that the wound of my broken heart is healed. I can now move on with my life, no more heartaches, no more thinking, no more...

Jane Lane I feel like it's nearly impossible to answer this question because I feel there is no sole answer. I feel every individual experiences heartache differently and for everyone the time is going to be different. It's probably contingent on how powerful the love...

How to mend a broken heart?

Heartbreak is perhaps the worst of all ailments. Can a broken heart really be mended? Yes. Based on your experience, how do you do it?

Jane Lane I think this will differ for every individual. But as they say time will always be the biggest factor. But what you do in that time it takes to heal is what's going to make it easier or more difficult for yourself. If you sit and only think about the lost...

Can people die of 'broken heart'?

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 13 Jan 12

I don't mean those who deliberately take their own life by committing suicide because of a failed love affair. I once had a neighbor who were in their 40s and when the wife passed away in a tragic road accident the husband was...

Jane Lane I think we often underestimate how powerful the mind is. Stress for example has been scientifically proven to effect the state of one's health. So perhaps it stands to say the stress of the loss of his wife, the sorrow that led him to a grave depression and...

It's important to do Something When You arer Depressed

Sometimes I'm so depressed, I just sit and daydream. All this does is to make me more depressed. I better snap out of it I tell myself. I then decide to call some friends on the phone. I choose the ones who are lively and have a...

Jane Lane Distraction and keeping oneself busy can be an excellent coping mechanism utilized during a bout of depression. Just remember that this may not be a long term solution and if your depression is persistent and perpetual, it can be a good ideal to seek medical...

Anyone know an effective way to get rid of eyebags?

lady Di @lady1993 (27221) • Philippines 4 Jan 13

i just noticed that i have huge and dark bags under my eyes.. I do not have any make up or concealer to hide these eye bags. And I do try and sleep early, but i just can't sleep until it's 10 or 11 pm.

Jane Lane Sleep is obviously the most key way but there are a few others tricks you can utilize to rid bags. 1. The age old cool cucumber trick is true. The moisture from the vegetable helps reduce puffiness. 2. Cold tea bags or ice wrapped in cloth and held up...

What was the craziest thing you did for love?

zaskasahagun @zaskasahagun (346) • Philippines 6 Apr 12

well, for me.. (smiles) the craziest thing I did for love was when I stalked him all the way down to his house. HAHA such a funny thing because I was chased by the dogs around his crib. I immediately run and shouted for help, so...

Jane Lane I wouldn't necessarily call it crazy but I suppose many would. I moved across the world for the love of my life-- quit my job, subletted my apartment, packed up my belongings and jumped on a plane. We've been together for ages now so it obviously worked out...

Jane Lane I understand your predicament. I think you can do one of two things: 1. You can practice radical acceptance. Your husband is not a bad person, as you say, he is quite reliable. You just wish he was more romantic. So you can radically accept that this is...

Jane Lane I'm not sure that what you described is applicable to all relationships. It's certainly not applicable to mine. While there was certainly a "honeymoon phase"as it's often dubbed, we still maintain a passion for one another. In matured love, I think you find as...

Why do people cheat?

ronnalee @ronnalee (43) 2 Jan 13

Hello myLot, I've seen lots of posts lately regarding relationships and faithfulness so I was wondering what you think about this issue. Why do you think people cheat? Have you ever been cheated on or have you ever cheated on...

3 responses

Jane Lane I think cheating is rarely about an inability to control physical attraction. I think it strays more to something emotional-- whether that be that there is something lacking emotionally in the relationship causing one to feel distant from their partner or...
