Shiva It is said when one becomes rich, we forget the ideals that we held close to heart. I believe a selfless life is fulfillment while a selfish one is misery. So I will share from my winnings wholeheartedly.

Are Discussions Dead at MyLot?

vikingswest @Vikingswest1 (7380) • United States 6 Aug

I'm noticing that discussions are missing here. It's a great place to share thoughts, get and give advice and to get to know others from around the world. Yet, there are very few discussions. Rarely will a post draw back and...

Shiva I post my discussions rarely. Mine is philosophical in nature and not what happens in my daily life. I like to go to back and forth but it does not happen here. Some do not even reply to my responses - maybe just a "like". I peel apple towards myself.

Shiva It is uncertain times all over the world - in terms of jobs too. It is not business as usual due to obvious reasons - maybe self-inflicted. It is better that every country is self-sufficient in terms of necessities.

Shiva The hard work was not only not appreciated by a few but sadly invited negative reaction. That would have led to a heart-break moment for him. I recall my visit to Fremantle Harbor in 2009. I was very impressed but did not know it was over a century old.

Do people still wear watches?

Amber @AmbiePam (101748) • United States 3 Aug

I guess Apple watches are really popular (my BIL’s work has him wearing one), and a few Mylotters have talked about owning one. I seem to just look at my phone when I want to know the time, so I haven’t worn one in quite awhile....

Shiva I wear an ordinary watch as I am used to that almost all my life. Smart watches do not induce me to buy one as they are unchartered territory.
