Would you like to keep staying at home?

mengrufa @mengrufa (239) • China 16 Nov 08

I am a introverted man. I like stay alone thinking things that happen. when I like to talk to someone, I just ask few of them to go with me and talk, for I dislike that there are too many people making noise. When I am in trouble...

bmk188 Because of Multiple Sclerosis and other health problems I don't get out of the house much, but I love it when I do. I like to be alone at times, but not all the time. I am usually not alone much. My hubby is also my caregiver so he is always here. My children...

I got up this morning to find out it's snowing (groan). It's too soon! (It's always too soon...) My raspberry plants are still producing, for heaven's sake! Now, granted, it's "only" wet snow, mixed with rain, and will probably...

bmk188 It has been snowing here all day but not sticking. It is the first sign of snow we have seen here in Southeastern Ohio. It is cold, but the ground is not cold enough yet for the snow to stick, but it does let us know that winter weather is approaching. Our...

Another Slap For Smokers: It Might Soon Be Ilegal To Smoke In Your Own Home

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 28 Jul 08

A fellow MyLotter pointed this out to me, and I started to do a search for articles. It seems a growing trend here in America is for landlords to make their properties, such as condos and apartments smoke free. Okay I can see...

landlords could evict people for smoking

bmk188 Nothing any more surprises me. If they can take away freedoms and give some justification, they will. This a blatant infringement on the rights of privacy. What you do in your own home that you pay rent for is your own business. Landlords are not allowed to...

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 13 Nov 08

bmk188 So sorry to hear about all your aggravation with the grant, and I do understand it. It is hard when you put your heart and soul into something you really want and then have it rejected. I feel for you. I am a freelance writer and if there is ever an...
