do you set your clock ahead of time?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9551) • Philippines 20 Nov 12

If you do, how many minutes advance is your clock at home? Ours is 15 minutes advanced because we have a student and she has to be in school before 7:30 am. So that we will not be late, we have set the clock 15 minutes ahead....

Valenas It sounds like a good idea for some, and I have tried setting my watch ahead as well. Unfortunately, I am like your daughter and I tend to remind myself of the real time which means that I allow myself to slow down because of it. I am glad that this works for...

victorkrish @victorkrish (1614) • Malaysia 28 Mar 12

Reading and listening is quite different but which is you think better ?? Are you think reading better than listening? Why?

Valenas I would greatly prefer to read something than to listen to it. Sound has the unfortunate tendency either to become backgound noise or to be misheard, and it is not always convenient to go back and listen to the words again or to ask a speaker to repeat...

Graceekwenx @Graceekwenx (3160) • Philippines 25 Mar 12

The end of the first quarter is nearing again. So, how are you faring so far? What do you expect in the few months to come? I feel so confident with this year... I dont know why... I just do.

Valenas This year, so far, is turning out rather well. I was promoted at work and I am taking in a lot of new and interesting information with this position. I am also getting more petsitting jobs, which I hope will help me to afford paying off my car sooner. I have...

How often should we bathe our pet dogs?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9551) • Philippines 22 Jan 12

Years back, I used to give our pet dogs baths every other day. When I became busy, I made the bathing only once a week. However today, I have noticed that I could hardly find time to bathe them. My dogs would get lucky if I am...

Valenas I think it really depends on the dog as to how long you should go between bathing. At work, I like to bathe one of our housepets every other week, usually on a slow day. I work in a veterinary clinic, and we have two dogs and two cats that live at the...

Am I The Only One Who Actually Reads The Discussions and Comments?!

teedelydoo2 @teedelydoo2 (97) • United States 6 Dec 11

Does anyone actually read the questions of a discussion and answer them the way they were meant to be answered? I understand that some questions or discussions can be vague, but seriously!! Half of the responses I get from my...

Valenas This varies from case-to-case. I always try to read the discussion thoroughly to determine if I want to respond. If it is something where the discussion starter (in this case, you) was looking for one specific answer, I read through the responses to make sure...

Side Jobs

Valenas @Valenas (1507) • United States 24 Oct 11

Side jobs are paying tasks that you take up in addition to your primary job. I currently work in the kennels of a local veterinary clinic, but I do some petsitting on the site. Petsitting involves staying at another family's house...

What am I going to do now?

kris182_2000 @kris182_2000 (5444) • Canada 24 Sep 11

Such a setback in our tries to get Tiger to the farm this month. We were supposed to have someone move in with us recently, but the only thing preventing this was Tiger being in the room. So I sent my husband a message...

Valenas I am sorry about that, Kris. That is a scary thought. Does your local veterinary clinic carry traps? The one that I work for loans them out to clients for such purposes, and I am sure that others in the areas offer something similar. In any case, I hope that...

Valenas I have not left myLot, but I am definitely not as active as I once was and, due to work and other projects, I doubt I ever will be. I do enjoy myLotting as it provides a lot of insight into how other people handle day to day things, and common ground to share...

Valenas I am glad that you are taking your Dachshund to the vet tomorrow. Any change in behavior (such as not eating, going to the bathroom in the house, etc.) can be a sign that something is not right with your dog. I truly hope that it is nothing serious, and that...

Why do you give Christmas presents to your boss and not to your co-workers?

CrimsonRain @CrimsonRain (336) • United States 26 Dec 10

I work at two companies and noticed that the bosses always get Christmas presents from their underlings but the underlings don't give Christmas presents to one another. Or if ever, the bosses still get the better ones (like Parker...

Valenas We all pitch in for a single gift to the boss for Christmas, Boss's Day, and his birthday. He gives things to us throughout the year and helps us more than anyone could expect, so we give these gifts as a thank you. Some of our employees buy each other some...

Valenas Unfortunately, I have thrown up on a bus before. I did my best to alert the driver, and get my seatmate out of the way (we were sharing a bench). Before I could actually get to my feet, though, I ended up throwing up on the back of the seat in front of me. In...
