What super power would you want?

acecaliber @acecaliber (34) • Canada 19 Jan 09

If you could have any super power, which would you choose and why? I think my favourite superpower is the ability to control the weather. As a kid, I loved reading the X-men, and the character, Storm, had the ability to manipulate...

Who are you closer, to your Mom or to your Dad?

markmoney @markmoney (2868) • Philippines 19 Jan 09

Me I used to be closer to my Mom because at my early age, when I was about 5 years old, my Dad started to work abroad and just coming back home every year or two years to stay for just one to two months. I grown up seeing mostly...

acecaliber I'm actually closer to my dad than my mom-even though he was more strict to us than her. I think this is because she was often at work, so I never really got to see her much. Although my dad also worked, he cooked us dinner and drove us to school, karate, etc....

netflix

acecaliber @acecaliber (34) • Canada 18 Jan 09

Do you use netflix? I'm thinking about joining, but am not sure if it is worth it. They now have an online download option, which sounds good. I also heard that you may be able to access netflix on xbox360, not sure if this is...

Rent or Condition--What's more important?

acecaliber @acecaliber (34) • Canada 18 Jan 09

I'm looking for a new apartment and was just curious what you all thought is more important: the amount for rent or whether an apartment is well kept. I personally don't care too much about rent, as long as it is not overly...

Ants in the apartment

acecaliber @acecaliber (34) • Canada 18 Jan 09

Recently I've discovered that there is an ant infestation in my apartment. They seem to be coming from the vent. I have tried raid and other ant traps, but after a few weeks they keep coming back. I guess I should consider myself...

Electric shavers vs razor

acecaliber @acecaliber (34) • Canada 18 Jan 09

This is for all the men out there. Which do you prefer to use? Electric shavers or manual razors. I use to use electric, but I found it didn't shave as close or clean as I would like and it seemed to take more time then regular...

If you don't want people to make assumptions then don't start a discussion

rosdimy @rosdimy (3926) • Malaysia 18 Jan 09

I have only been active on myLot for only two and a half months. During this short period of time I have read many discussions and responded to several of them. What stumped me was the reaction by certain posters to responses made...

acecaliber Yes, I've noticed that people often do make assumptions based on a discussion, but I think this is human nature...we like to categorize things and organize things which helps us make sense of the world (that's why stereotyping is so hard not to do). However,...

I cant stop watching FORENSIC shows!!

acecaliber No I don't think it is weird at all. it is just like some guys who love watching sports and watch it 24/7. e.g. they order channels that are dedicated to only sports. Or people that watch music videos on MTV all day. Nothing too weird about that unless it...

ColdFX and echinacea--Do they work?

acecaliber @acecaliber (34) • Canada 18 Jan 09

People keep telling me to take coldFX or echinacea just prior to getting sick. They say that it helps prevent colds or to make colds not as bad. Do these products really work? Have you tried it? what is your experience with them?...

Gay vs lesbian relationships--are they different?

acecaliber @acecaliber (34) • Canada 18 Jan 09

I was just wondering whether you think that gay and lesbian relationships are the same or different. I personally think they are different, especially because men and women see relationships in different lights.

acecaliber I'm not sure if it has to do with them wanting children or not which makes them gay/lesbian. Especially since there are a lot of gay and lesbian couples who adopt (or at least want to adopt). If they didn't want children, then they wouldn't be rallying the...

dude...wtf?

timmons @timmons (120) • United States 31 Dec 08

My friends and I were pretty wasted last night and the conversation came around to the old classic conversation piece of would anyone sleep with another guy for a million dollars. Well, of course the majority of the guys answered...

acecaliber Yeah it sounds like he was just drunk and was trying to make a joke?? In anycase, it shouldn't be a big concern of yours. Maybe you can ask him if he really meant it at the party.

What if your only bro is a gay?

izathewzia @izathewzia (5134) • Philippines 16 Jan 09

Way back in college, my classmates and I were throwing questions that illicits thinking and voicing out opinions. One question thrown to me then was "What if your only brother is a gay?" I answered it by saying, It is okay. But if...

acecaliber I would accept him for who he is. Yes, at first I would be shocked, but then I would be proud and honoured that he trusted me enough to let me know. I think that it is his life to live, and who am I to judge or tell him how to live that life. If he is happy...

What are you doing to save money?

LaurenInLA @LaurenInLA (2270) • United States 17 Jan 09

I'm very new to living frugally. Since the economic upheaval, I've become more and more concerned with how we spend our money. So much waste. One of the first things that I took a look at were our phone bills. We have a land line,...

acecaliber Yeah, I've hidden my credit card so that i don't get tempted to buy things that i don't need. I've also started to budget and record what I spend on so that I can see where I am overspending. I have also started looking at those pesky flyers that grocery...

On which HAND do you wear your WRIST WATCH...Left or Right???

uditpanda @uditpanda (1023) • India 18 Jan 09

Its probably a custom to wear the watch on the left wrist...most people I have seen do that. But I have also seen people deviating the rule,who keep it in their left wrist. I think the decision should be about personal choice &...

acecaliber I wear my watch on the left. I have tried wearing it on the right, however since I'm right handed, it feels awkward and often not as easy to quickly glance at the time when I'm doing things like writing. I don't think it really matters which wrist you put the...
