Middle names - Does Your Culture have Them?

urbangirl @urbangirl (1456) • Australia 14 Jul 07

Another discussion by a friend on mylot about choosing a baby name got me thinking about middle names and how we get our names. Now in Greece, where I was born, it was (and still is) a custom for the new baby to be named after the...

eslproofreader I'm from the U.S., so I, of course, have a middle name. Actually, my mother did something rather unconventional in naming me after herself. That can cause quite a bit of confusion in a househole (compounded by the fact that my brother and uncle share a name as...

eslproofreader My whole family has blue eyes - well, except for my step-sister who has one blue and one brown (so does my pit bull, Mimi- not that I'm comparing my dog to my step-sister :P).

eslproofreader Free time changed my life. I went to live in Spain for 3 years (with a non-working visa). I had always worked in the past (since I was 14). With so much free time on my hands, I was able to analyze and judge my life's course. It was disappointing and...

Miguel Z. @habichuelo (3100) • United States 1 Jul 07

Weird right?,,but some people like some kinds of fisical pain,lik those that hang from hooks, do you like pain?..I like the pain from pimple popping! How about you??

eslproofreader Hey, you! I guess I love/hate when I have a dull ache in my teeth or gums. I hate the pain, but clenching down on it somehow makes me savor it. It's almost comforting.

eslproofreader Honestly, I think almost everyone does this (at least to me). It makes me hesitant to trust people. Even if they're not talking behind my back, I think they know that they can manipulate me to get what they want. Somehow, they can see my weakness- and I don't...

In love vs. loving someone!

speedy1279 @speedy1279 (2665) • United States 29 Jun 07

Okay I have had this argument so many times with some of my friends that I wanted to ask everyones opinion on mylot. To me there is a big difference between just loving someone and being "In Love" with someone. Some of my friends...

eslproofreader Being 'in love' with someone means that you do stupid, illogical things that you might live to regret later... Loving someone, I guess, means that you've gotten past the stupid stage and still feel a strong connection to that person.

Should a boyfriend be charming, funny or handsome?

Which trait would you prefer in a potential boyfriend or partner? Would you prefer that your potential partner have a sense of humor, charm or good looks? Assume that you could only pick one trait?

eslproofreader Maybe you can encourage him to get out more or invite a friend over. It must be depressing to get old, lose some of your independence, deal with illnesses. You have to listen to him, but you don't have to encourage his pessimistic behavior. Everyone knows that...
