On my 30th birthday I woke to the sounds of my four closest friends singing “Happy Birthday” outside my bedroom window. They told me to get up and get dressed; they were taking me to breakfast. Now, I’m a girl who likes to...

Has anyone else heard of Papel, a free writing aid software? I did a search on discussions, and it seems tha no one has started a discussion on it. I have procranstinated far too too long on it, so here goes. I have been using...

anawar Hi again, and thanks! The thing with windows is, XP won't even talk to Vista. So, it's probably not compatible. It's crazy - I burn a CD on my Vista PC, and my XP PC can't read it. That's just wrong. A good thesaurus makes a wonderful writing companion. And...

Yesterday my husband bought a collection of really old magazines. They are from the 1890s, so they are more than 100 years old. I like to buy old magazines, because I use the pictures in my paintings, but the oldest magazines I...

anawar I sold the house to my best friend, so it felt as if I still was part of it. That was so long ago, I doubt she even lives there anymore. It's nice to think that just maybe she does. That would have been so cool if I found bottles. But, even though no one...

I just got home from the store. I was a little up set while I was there because this little girl who was about 6 or 7 years old was pushing a cart around. There was no adult who seemed to be supervising her. She wasn't running,...

anawar Very true! Maybe reality turned out to be more than they bargained for. Anyhow, I think parents get the children they deserve. And I say that with extreme caution because who knows what my kids blame me for? In truth, we've always been very close to one...

Does admitting you are wrong Mean you Have to swallow your pride? I don't think so.When I Know I was wrong or that the new way of doing things is better I admit it freely. In fact I would feel bad if I didn't! My pride would be...

anawar The other point is, why label anything right or wrong? Like you said, it is what it is, and let the chips fall where they may.

anawar Hi mario, It's funny; at first I felt defensive when I read your last thought. Then, I had to laugh at myself. You have a valid point worthy of consideration. The whimsical side of me is in control however, and after reviewing events in my life I'll hold...

The internet changed the way we write. It's all about things like: making every word count, watch adjective and adverb use, parse it out until there's little left to the original draft. If you want to be published, you comply,...

anawar Do you feel lost after you finish your book? I wander around, feeling alone and abandoned by the characters. I can't start reading a new book right away because I like to let the story "soak into me." Also, it feels as if I'm betraying the author if I put...

anawar Sviswan, Now I'm feeling teary-eyed. I feel so happy, just knowing your story. Your family sounds wonderful. Too bad you cooked, though.

It’s easy to define ourselves with common factors like our career, our age, or where we live. But what makes an individual tick? The quirks in our personality define a far more individual creature, yet I have no doubt that we are...

anawar Hi Ladyslipper, You sound like a powerful woman! I'm with you on #6, but I have to. Happy to see #7, at least there's more than one me in the world. The only consolation for #8 is that once it begins the room is darkened, and no one knows you're...

anawar Hi Kifndir, Aren't actresses and actors so easy to fall in love with? It's too bad they're not real. Crunchies? I like minestrone soup with Ritz crackers, which reminds me, I'm starving! I'd love to know the name of your book. I'm...

anawar Hi noslenandval, Very cool #1. The clothes in style now are so unoriginal and boring I rarely buy anything. Luckily, I find a piece here and there that keeps my wardrobe looking somewhat posh. Some people say "pink is the new black." Hmm on #5. Sounds...

anawar Hi tomitomi, It sounds like you're at home in your world, comfortable and sensible. I bet people really enjoy talking with you. Thanks for the laugh on #8. If #8 is true, then your life is complete. What more can you ask for? LOL I'm still thinking...

anawar Hi deriellevc, Wow! #10 would have me climbing the ceilings. I'm sort of an energetic person and don't need much stimuli to get into trouble. People always mistake my age; isn't it fun? #8 - at least it works both ways; I'd be interested in some of...

anawar Hi baban88, Speaking of exotic pets, we used to own a Lazarus lizard. He wasn't poisonous or dangerous in any way, just really creepy as he grew bigger. They jump so high it appears they can "walk on water," hence the name. I think some girl will snatch...

anawar Hi Ibbaby - Oh, #5 certainly adds intrigue to your description. There's nothing wrong with sounding young. People will learn to move beyond their (mis)perceptions as you mature and enter the business world. Knowing someone like you would be a...

anawar Hatley, well, it's been awhile since I was on mylot, and I've no idea what a poll question is. I meant this to be a fun chance to express ourselves and learn funny quirks about each other. Oh well, best intentions and all that . . . I can't believe anyone...
