Women Never Win

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 18 Dec 10

Sometime ago I've started a discussion about a court case where a husband (now ex) was suing another man for enticing his wife. The case is not over yet. Today's local papers on the front page this man claimed that their daughter...

quinnkl I think this woman, whoever she is, is a disgrace to all the rest of us women. Obviously she did not take her marriage seriously, so why did she bother getting married at all? That makes no sense to me. Exactly to drag a poor little child into all of this......

What the web knows about you?

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 16 Dec 10

I have only discovered lately that two pieces of simple data - your name and your e-mail address can unlock a shocking number of details about you even if you consider yourself to be a private person who carefully guards your...

quinnkl I agree, this is one of the scariest things about the cyberworld. No matter how wonderful technology is (and I LOVE it), privacy goes out the window in one way or another online. Sadly it will probably get worse before it gets better.

Facebook or Twitter Link in myLot?

yuna15 @yuna15 (2706) • Philippines 15 Dec 10

Why not? A lot of websites are already using a Facebook link so that they can share it on Facebook or even Twitter. News, entertainment, games, computers, opinions, etc. Would it be feasible for the website? I think it will...

quinnkl I am NOT a fan of facebook or twitter or any of the social blog type things out there. I guess as a mom of teenagers I don't feel it is safe. I don't like the idea that the world is becoming less socially active in person instead of online. And I dont' like...

Are you sending cards this christmas?

pweety_princess @pweety_princess (2012) • Australia 15 Dec 10

Lets admit, in this day and age with the internet around, alot of us are just going to be chucking away the stamps and envelopes, except me! I like to write cards as it is more traditional and actually makes it look like you...

koalatbs @koalatbs (2229) • United States 10 Dec 10

Have you ever been on a cruise? If so, what cruise lines did you use & how'd you like it? My son's high school band has been invited to play on the Carnival Sensation Cruise ship in March!

ladybugmagic @ladybugmagic (3978) • United States 29 Oct 10

quinnkl Conservative Christians pushing Christianity and conservative views all in one bundle? Sure seem to be a lot religion pushing into politics these days. Wasn't that why "we" left England in the first place. It bothers me. Ah well.

Do you wish to live up to 100?

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 10 Oct 10

When I read today's paper I was shocked to see one page of it is filled with obituaries. What is more shocking is to see people dying young. At an age where I am now it frightens me to think that the end is near for me to move to...

quinnkl I don't think much about dying and age. It is just something they never really bothered me. I suppose if I spent time really thinking about it, that it might bother me. I just figure we live and we die, and the time we spend between the two is what needs to...

Correcting others grammatical errors in PUBLIC is embarrasing!

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 7 Oct 10
