How important do you think punctuation is? I recently read a book in which one of the main characters kept in touch with her sister via email. The annoying thing was that the author, I assume in an attempt at 'authenticity',...

It feels like the world is full of badness these days with people becoming worse by the minute! You can't pick up a newspaper or turn on the tv without reading about someone doing something unspeakable to someone else. But...

I think there are more PTC sites out there than Carter has liver pills. I'm a member of a good number of them and wonder just how everyone else 'works' them? Do you hit them once a day and call it quits? Do you check...

Skyedame1 I used to do PTC. I would set myself 15 minutes each day just to click through my favourite (better paying) sites. But I got into other things, and besides, I have two part-time jobs plus my writing so I don't have the time anymore. But I think PTC sites...

mylot says to not use many punctuation marks in your posts, but some people here do posts without even a single punctuation mark. Once their sentence starts, it ends only after it has acquired a whole page. I have to read thrice...

Skyedame1 I'm new to MyLot and if I'd read the ruling about not using many punctuations marks I wouldn't have bothered to join! I've just started another thread (before reading this one) about the importance of punctuation and what other people think about it. I hate...

Skyedame1 Why shouldn't one use correct grammar in email? The recipient still has to make sense of what the writer is trying to communicate. If you are referring to emails between close pals then maybe it could be forgiven but only if the writer has poor English...

Skyedame1 I enjoy being in the company of people who make me laugh! I also like being in the company of those rare people who make you feel that you are the most fascinating person they've met that day! I wish I had the gift of confidence. By that, I mean I wish I...

Which one are you? I'm naturally positive. I like to see the good in things, even when they might not appear to be good. I like to see the good in people and I try to look at things in a naturally positive way. Some people might...

Skyedame1 I'm naturally positive too - despite life's twists and turns of trying to make me feel negative! I was made redundant two years ago and, despite being in my mid-50s - I was positive something good would come out of the experience. I would like to be able to...

Skyedame1 I rarely put my washing on the line for fear of it being blow away to the next village! I use our drier as it makes the towels and cottons nice and soft. I do put the sheets and stuff on the line if it's a sunny day (rare) and I'm around the house, but...

My daughter has a 18 month old daughter that she just recently put into daycare. I want to know how you feel about stay at home moms verses putting your child in day care. She is a single parent and "Dad" was in the house while...

Skyedame1 Usually, I would say that it's always best that mum is home with the child. Those early days are important and can never be recaptured. However, today's economic climate makes that dream situation very hard and impossible. There are pros and cons of putting a...

Skyedame1 Well, our Spring is supposed to be from March to May but our weather is very unpredictable. This time last year we had glorious weather but over the past few days it's been bitterly cold and we even had snow *brrr*. Actually, my daughter lives in Arizona and...

Skyedame1 Well, here in Scotland in the UK it's most definitely a long way from Spring - at least weather-wise! It's so very cold! So mylot will be seeing activity from me for a while yet at least!

Skyedame1 First off, giving birth can be painful but in these days of excellent pain control and excellent maternal care, there really shouldn't be anything to be afraid of. After all, if it was so dreadful, womankind would have stopped at one child!Secondly, you need...

Skyedame1 Oh, don't! I used to roll my eyes at my mother because she 'wittered on' about inconsequential things. And now I realize I'm wittering on when my 'audience' starts glazing over or sidling out the door! My husband, on the other hand, has started to sound and...
