Between Glee and Drop Dead Diva...

tomitomi @tomitomi (5429) • Singapore 18 Jun 10

Both have given me the stimulation I need for my brain, the fun, the excitement as well the chance to maximize my prime-time viewing. Glee has some wonderful songs to go along with though. I just love both! What about you?...

anawar I don't watch television, but my daughter turned me onto Glee. She recorded the shows so that when I visited we could watch them together. I love that show so much I bought the entire first season, and downloaded my favorite musical pieces onto my computer....

anawar I don't think any action is random. Synchronicity is the key to the universe. I know my response is not really in keeping with the spirit of the conversation, which is hysterical and witty, but I had to say my thing. The transformer toy seemed like a random...

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 19 Jun 10

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 only time I was wrong was the one time when I thought I was wrong, but I was right. Only kidding. Mostly I assume I'm doing something wrong, or the hard way, and I'm delighted when someone points out an easier or better approach. Pride?...

kids and shopping carts don't mix!

macdingolinger @macdingolinger (10385) • United States 19 Jun 10

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 Not to be judgmental, but I think lazy moms allow their children to do whatever they want to in public, as long as the parent is not bothered. I was shopping when a small child pushing her younger sibling around in a stroller, nearly nailed my shins. NO mom...

What is the oldest thing you have bought or received?

Porcospino @Porcospino (31365) • Denmark 19 Jun 10

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 So glad you asked! My favorite "old thing" was the house I bought that had been built at the turn of the century. It had stood vacant for years, and no one had painted it in over forty years. My husband and I took out a loan, along with the mortgage, and...

stupid annoying nonsense

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85137) • Shingle Springs, California 1 Jun 10

How to use myLot tags and discussion response

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 1 Jun 10

anawar Hi verena! Great insight! When one person is calm, the peace flows through everyone involved. Words can hurt. However, it's fine to be calm, but it's not good to hold in your feelings. Try to express them in a positive way. I understand you don't want to...

bluesinjid @bluesinjid (658) • Canada 22 Nov 09
