KrauseHome Personally, I think this is more annoying that any of the other ads they have on here. I really wish that they would not have so many of these SPAM type of Ads allowed here. Once you click on them most of them are Spam, and some of them have Virus's in them...

Did you ever buy something, maybe something expensive and quickly wish you hadn't? I seem to end up doing this all the time. The most recent purchase was a very expensive matress. I had hoped it would help me to sleep better but...

What is the most responses you ever had to a discussion you started and what was the title of the discussion? Did you put a lot of thought into the topic heading or was it a spur of the moment thing? Are you discouraged if you get...

Ruth Belena My responses have varied between 2 and 47 so far. You need to write a good title which encourages a response, usually in the form of a question. If you look at the top discussions, and those that get into the daily Digest, you can see which topics and...

MandyB1978 It's great to hear about your daughter, she sounds very much like I was - I was writing little story books from about eight years of age and today am a full-time freelance writer. Personally I feel like she would probably benefit more from websites such as...

If you could choose to get rid of something from the face of the earth, an invention, a product, a philosoph, what would it be and why would you want to see it never having come into being? I would like to get rid of the mobile...

The_Col_G Though I love really hot curries, the best I've ever tasted is a fairly mild South Indian curry called avial (or mixed vegetable kootu). It (usually) contains green (very unripe) bananas, angled loofah (ridge gourd), eggplant (aubergine), yam, snake beans...

Ruth Belena I don't know Jim. I thought it was a good title. I don't even have parenting in my interests. Perhaps that is the answer. Start discussions in the bigger interest groups like life, people, Q&A perhaps?

Darkwing Sometimes, the soccer discussions get a few responses, but most go to discussions on The Champions League, or as you say, the top clubs in popularity, like Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea. I do get a few with Leeds but not a lot. :) Just a wee tip on...

Darkwing Heavy Metal is a genre of rock music which developed in the late 60s and early 70s. The bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums-centered sound, which was highly amplified and often featured fast guitar solos. It is an extreme...

Darkwing Your daughter, indeed, sounds to be very talented and I would encourage that as much as is humanly possible. I like to write too. I'm not sure that she would get a lot of support or advice in Mylot, and I'm not sure about the joining age, but she could do...

Just an Ordinary Owl? I very much endorse your 'open screen' policy, Jim. I believe that children (aka 'young people' - because that is what they are) should be carefully taught to handle the real world as it is and not shielded from it as long as possible. In my view, this should...

Myrrdin Well, as good as myLot is, I wouldn't say she'd get much out of it. However you could point her in the direction of a variety of writers groups. I belong to one called Dreaming In Ink, they have limited membership though so she'd have to wait in line. There...
