Not Too Much Action Here These Days

Marlina @marlina (154103) • Canada 3 Feb 16

Is it my perception only or is it slow these days on Mylot? I was hoping that with the demise of BB and PP, things would move faster here and we could have more content to read and comment on. It is difficult to keep interest...

How to get better ads on MyLot

The Horse @TheHorse (234905) • Walnut Creek, California 12 Jan 16

Like everyone, I'm tired of seeing ads for "miracle foods that will help me lose weight," "Hot Asian brides waiting for me," and "Celebrities that got fat. #17 blew us away." I discovered a simple way to get more interesting ads...

Max The problem with ads like that are they keep following you after you already purchased the item in question. Still better than the default rubbish though!

Why would you or would you not buy an iphone?

regal_aeros @regal_aeros (2605) • Singapore 24 Feb 10

Would you or would you not buy an iphone? For me, i would get the iphone because it has lots of apps (especially the games). What about you?

Max I already have an iphone, but many other phones are catching up now. I think Apple need to release a new version or upgrade the software again if they want to keep the stronghold they currently have.

Max Make the most of what you have learned, make it stand out on your resume. Look for work in places where you can learn more. Alteratively, find work that won't teach you and use your wages to pay for extra training. Yet another option is to study at home and...

Are you afraid of donating blood

sreejithsreenivas @sreejithsreenivas (10202) • India 25 Jun 08

I think majority of people are afraid of donating their blood because of some misguided facts.It is our responsibility to aware people about the positives of donating blood,so that we can save precious life.

4 responses

Max I give blood. I don't like the part where they stab my finger to test my iron levels, or having the needle inserted but I think it's an important contribution to make to society. I'm an organ donor too - when I'm dead they can tear me up for spare parts.

Max I think they're great dogs. They can be trained to be aggressive and are often used as guard dogs in this capacity but they can also be very loving and loyal dogs. I used to babysit for a family that had a german shepherd and it would play really well with me...

Max It sounds like you're both drawn to each other and you have the opportunity. Do you think the same problems you faced before will happen again? If not, then go for it. But tread carefully - have you changed that much since you broke up? Are you just getting...

Max I think part of it is an ego boost. They like to see something they created spreading and making them feel powerful - even the attention of the virus checkers when they work out how to counteract the problem is a little nod in their direction because they know...

What can You do with a box of Baking Soda?

katkizzle @katkizzle (97) • United States 4 Feb 10

Have you ever read the side of the box? It was meant to cure your acid reflux. So that means if you suffer from gerd, indigestion, burping, excess gas, bloating, heart burn.....it would be very wise of you to learn to drink...

Max Apart from baking, the only thing I've used baking soda for is to help clean the carpet - when I moved in the previous owners had had dogs and they'd obviously had a few accidents on the staircase. Putting down baking soda for a few hours and then vacuuming it...

Max I think you will get tired of Farmville one day. Especially if you find that all the people who you're used to seeing there are gone! The game wouldn't be much fun if you were the only one left, would it? I guess you will probably find that it will engross you...

Deceptive Writing Practices

pastorkayte @pastorkayte (2255) • United States 21 Feb 10

One of the things that have started bothering me lately is hiring freelancers that are deceptive. I am a writer and I am extremely truthful with my clients about how and what I can do. However lately when I lose jobs it is by...

Max It seems to me that you did the exact right thing. The client had unrealistic expectations, they need to be managed. Now he has been burnt he won't make the same mistakes, and in the meantime your reliability stands in your favour. You're never going to manage...

Max It doesn't matter what the rest of us think - would your husband think you were a bad wife for doing this? If I were your husband then I would be a bit upset if you thought I might stop working hard - that suggests you don't think I care about having nice...

Do you think there's a difference between being "frugal" and being "cheap"?

thyst07 @thyst07 (2079) • United States 20 Feb 10

It's always a good idea to be smart with your money, but where do you draw the line between being frugal or budget conscious and being cheap or miserly? Since my husband and I are both unemployed at the moment, we have to pinch...

Max It's largely a matter of perspective, but "cheap" has bad connotations. If you're frugal the implication is that you need to save and be careful with your money, while being cheap is just being greedy and miserly and optiong out of paying for things you could...
