Did I catch your attention? Well, this "upstanding man" who is the epitome of the family man has a secret, sort of. Mr. McCain likes to tell you that he has great moral fiber, that is an honest and upstanding family man with...

michelech I had heard about this; I think he's an honerable man, regardless of his past. His past shows that he's a good person who I can trust. I don't trust someone who makes out like he or she is perfect. (I'm always wondering what's going to come out). Would that...

I hate stress. And it doesn't help that high school is a big stress maker. First you have all the test you will take or need to take like the SATs or the ACTs. Then you have to choose a college to go to and wait for them to accept...

My white german shepherd, Polar Bear, just turned 13. I had her for 10 years, then asked my parents to watch her b/c I had a baby and the dog had gone blind - worried about biting the baby, etc. Find out yesterday, my parents had...

michelech How awful! You didn't say the reason they gave for puttng Polar Bear down. It should have been your decision. I have two dogs that have been with me since they were born & I consider them family. But it was done; uugghh! I don't know what I would do if that...

I ofen wonder what might be the reasons which have made staunch believers of God turn to Atheism. I have read many discussions in Mylot where people write that they used to believe in God but now they dont. It has become very...

michelech You're right, the bible is a story. I've had doubts my whole life, but kept pretending to believe because I wanted to 'fit in'. Now, I feel like I've come out of the closet because I can say I'm atheist. I think that g-o-d is an updated version of the previous...

michelech Morning and welcome, I've been a member of mylot for a few months now & have just started really using it. I feel that I've missed out on a lot, because the discussions are so interesting. I don't really know how to use it yet, but I'm ready to give it a try....

My husband left to work abroad and it kept me busy for quite sometime. I haven't been mylotting for over 2 weeks I think. How about you? What keeps you from mylotting?

michelech I can't find the discussions that I replied to. Haa--I haven't tried blogs. I don't have any reply or interest in the active ones that are shown. I see new links to try. I've just started being active in mylot.

How do we know that it is not true? of course I did not mean that we are in a computer program. I meant that our mind is being control by cultural education and expectations

michelech I beleive that to be true...a baby is trained or taught how to speak & act. The family religion/belief is in there, also. When the child goes to school, he/she learns about timelines. He/she learns from his/her peer & the family social group. Repetiveness...

The sky's been a brown color today, with the fires so close. I went outside little while ago (it was dark) & the moon was red & it was backwards! I just went outside again to look & it wasn't there at all. It was a quarter moon on...

michelech I thought it was probably because of the fires. I thought smoke was the black shape that was moving over the moon. Thanx for welcoming me to MyLot.

michelech Garlic is also suggested blood clots. I put onion in most dishes, but I don't know if I could eat one by itself. I have some superficial blood clots in my leg. I was generous with the chopped onion I put in my tuna fish last night-and fish is good, also. Of...

Currently in the USA, convicted felons who serve time behind bars also forfeit their right to vote in elections. Lots of politicians would like to see theserights restored to ex-felons, claiming that it disproportionately targets...

michelech I think they should have the right to vote. A person is sentenced to prison to pay for his crime, right? I'm not saying this because of what politicians are saying; I just think it's a little 'overkill'.
