woolford16 @woolford16 (81) 27 Mar 09

hey freinds i have found a site that pays for me just being online, no joke! it is legit and has made me some good money. if you would like to join then go to my profile and scroll to the bottom and click on the banner that says...

earn money

colaandtwinkies I have to say, looking over the site, it looks suspiciously like a cleverly disguised pyramid scheme. What with the whole 'sign up ten people and they sign up ten people and so on and so forth' structure.

Does any kid dominate the tv with video games as much as mine?

AKMEDIA2 @AKMEDIA2 (328) • United States 27 Mar 09

Does anyone's kid completely go bonkers over his console and dominate so much tv time with mere video game playing? Call of Duty World at War seems to be the favorite and we might as well build a shrine to the XBOX 360 at this...

3 responses

colaandtwinkies My nieces and nephews are quite the little gamers, but they'd have to fight me for the console! Most of my spare time is eaten up by video game playing, I must admit. And my current console-love is definitely the 360. It's an incredible system, and the games...

Would you share your $1 to the poor, homeless, and sick??

mschellemi @mschellemi (95) • Philippines 27 Mar 09

Would you share $1 to the sick poor??I think almost all mylotters will respond "no".. simply because we are all here to earn money right? we all are looking for some additional cash to pay our bills (getting $1 from MYLOT takes a...

colaandtwinkies Just because someone's working to make their own money doesn't mean they can't spare a little for those in more need. Sure, I'm struggling and not making much money, but I still help out when I can. I've been poor, homeless and sick. I know what it's like. And...

Did anybody watch Hell's Kitchen last night?

renemouche @renemouche (843) • United States 27 Mar 09

I was so glad Chef Ramsey finally got rid of Lacey. How can you claim you want to be a chef and then not now how to cook meat. At first at the begining of the season I felt sorry for her but my goodness, she was whining so...

colaandtwinkies I am in complete agreement! I too felt sorry for her in the beginning, because it really did seem like she just didn't 'click' with the other women. They were nasty to her. And when she bonded with the guys over the origami, I was so happy. She did so well...

Show Star Trek Now!

Sourceseeker @Sourceseeker (1197) • United States 26 Mar 09

They should not wait until May but should show the new star trek now. What are they waiting for. Everyone has seen the previews. This movie delves into the origin of Kirk and Spock. It also tells of the first meetings between...

colaandtwinkies They're waiting because May is a better month for a theater release. Certain months are just better, and boost attendance. They want to make the maximum amount of money with their release, so they're holding it for a prime release. Besides, there's probably...

Obama wants smartmeters put inside your apartment or house

Fortunata @Fortunata (1135) • United States 26 Mar 09

During the 'internet' townhall chat, Obama said he wanted smart meters put inside people's residences, to 'monitor' how much energy is being used. Since when did that become any of his business? He went on to say this will...

colaandtwinkies Considering we're heading towards a massive energy crisis that could leave the country without energy, I fully support this idea. The main idea behind these meters is to gauge how much energy, on average, is being used in various areas. This will help...

Ever eat in the bathromm?

blue65packer @blue65packer (11826) • United States 26 Mar 09

Has anyone ever eaten in the bathrom? I will admit I have and it isn't the best place to do it! I have only do it a few times. I know this is weird or disgusting discussion to start for some. I don't care what kind of responses I...

yes or no

colaandtwinkies I've been known to take some chocolates and a wine cooler in with me while I'm taking a bath. It's relaxing and I find something decadent about it. But that's as far as eating in the bathroom goes, unless it's to scarf down a breakfast bar while I'm doing my...

Bill Gates would have not had a chance to be the richest in the world!

HONGPHUOCTHANH @HONGPHUOCTHANH (17) • Japan 24 Mar 09

if he had not inherited one million dollars from his uncle, I do not think he could have done anything. He was just be The luckiest in the world

colaandtwinkies Bill Gates is one of the richest people in the world because of his brilliant programming and marketing skills. I honestly don't know what you're talking about - I can't recall anything about Gates inheriting anything from some rich uncle. The man's company...

Smurfs - blue or just suffocating all the time?

Aquilis @Aquilis (175) 24 Mar 09

Are smurfs naturaly blue, or are they just deprived of oxygen? If the later is true then why have they not been relocated, or received any humanitarian aid from people like the UN. This could be a very serious problem that could...

colaandtwinkies Great smurfs, I never thought of it that way! Well, since it's clear that no smurfs have died of lack of oxygen - that we know of, of course, it wouldn't surprise me if there have been cover-ups in this case - one would assume that the smurfs aren't in need of...

colaandtwinkies They don't make music like they used to. I know that sounds trite and cliched, but it's true. I compare modern music to the 'classics' and I find modern music mostly coming up short. The sound is generic, there's little meaning in the lyrics, and so few...

End of the world

nate2991 @nate2991 (7) • United States 22 Mar 09

Do you think it will end in 2012 like everyone else? How do you think it will end?

1 response

colaandtwinkies Well, first of all it's a bit reaching to say 'everyone else'. I don't know a single person who believes that the world is going to end in 2012. There are umpteen zillion predictions for the date of the end of the world, and have been since mankind could...

limiting the # of cars being sold per year: should it be allowed to help earth?

colaandtwinkies In an ideal world, this would be a wonderful idea. But we don't live in an ideal world. Economically, it's a poorly thought out idea. It's going to drive car prices up, and that's the last thing we need right now. And what about areas where there is no...

Spine-tingling: The Scariest Books EVER!

inkyuboz @inkyuboz (1392) • Mandaluyong City, Philippines 21 Mar 09

Have you ever read a book that scared you witless? Have you ever threw a book away as a reaction because it shocked you? I know I have. I have read a lot of horror novels all my life and I especially like those written by Clive...

colaandtwinkies I am an avid, avid Stephen King fan - and gobbler of all things horror, it's my own genre, actually - but I have to say that very, very few of them have ever actually scared me. I think the only thing by King I've read that left me feeling on edge and creeped...

inkyuboz @inkyuboz (1392) • Mandaluyong City, Philippines 21 Mar 09

colaandtwinkies Speaking as a published writer.... The writing is not that good. The narrative is clunky, confused, stilted and inconsistent. The characters are very one-dimensional and cardboard, the plot is very singular and leaves a great deal unexplored, and words are...

colaandtwinkies You network with other authors, get an agent, research publishing companies to find one that handles the genre you're looking to publish in. Once you've found a publisher, you need to make sure they're accepting manuscripts, and their criteria for submitting....
