Are myLot discussions getting too personal?

ayeeesha @ayeeesha (1127) • Philippines 20 Mar 13

Hello friends! I just noticed that in most discussions, members share their personal experiences about some things - how your day went, personal encounters, relationships and the like. I understand that venting it out and...

rapunzelcat I guess that depends on the type of personal subjects people talk about. Obviously, it's a bad idea to post any type of identifying information which might let people find you in real life. Other that that, I've noticed that there is sometimes a tendency to...

rapunzelcat Well, it looks like I'm getting in on the tail end of this discussion but I just wanted to say bless you for remembering that caregivers are people too. I am not a caregiver, but worked in hospitals for 30 years as a unit clerk and in medical records so I've...

I told my husband I found a new love!

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28717) • United States 12 Mar 13

Of course I wasn't talking about a man.. so he wasn't worried at all. I fell in love with a coffee drink by a local coffee shop. It is one of their specialty drinks, named after the shop.. Riverbend. This drink is flavored with...

rapunzelcat We don't have Tim Horton's around here (Iowa) that I know of. For chains we have Starbucks and Caribou Coffee. And of course McDonald's. I think their coffee drinks are ok but my daughter thinks they taste burnt. There are a lot of local coffee places in town...

rapunzelcat I think it sounds yummy and I would love to have some! Don't shoot the messenger, but there is, or was, a tiramisu ice cream. I haven't seen it in the store for several years, though. The entire line of ice cream by that brand disappeared, though, so either...

When a product is discontinued

maximax8 @maximax8 (31053) • United Kingdom 1 Aug 12

I like my shampoo and conditioner to be vegan products. I liked a conditioner called Original Source Mint and Tea Tree. The company strangely discontinued their shampoos and conditioners. However they still sell body soaps and...

rapunzelcat This has happened to me more times than I can possibly keep track of. Unfortunately I think it's just the nature of commercial products, especially (I think) health/beauty products. I think most companies act like it's more important to attract new customers...

911Ricki @911Ricki (13588) • Canada 8 Jul 12

I signed into Facebook and I cant how many people have just their first and middle names. I think its rather stupid to begin with, and some I dont know who they are they change their names so much to something ridiculous, or not...

rapunzelcat I have one facebook friend (former co-worker) who does this. I thought maybe it was because she was young and single with a baby and didn't want people to be able to find her IRL. She also seems to have a lot of family and friend drama going on, as well as...

Every day I hear more and more cases of this kind. What do you think? What deserve this parents? Especially fathers who violate their daughters?

rapunzelcat I consider myself lucky that I was "only" mentally and physically abused and never sexually abused as a child. I honestly don't know what punishment I would give my father as it was most likely the way he grew up, too. When I got to be a teenager spankings...

The fine line between child abuse and disciplinary action?

ayeeraerae14 @ayeeraerae14 (10) • United States 26 Jun 12

I have a friend who is suffering from this. She told me that her father had slapped her down multiple times and when she begged to stop he wouldn't. SHe had no idea if it was child abuse or the proper disciplinary action she had...

rapunzelcat I would definitely call this abuse! As a kid my parents used spanking as their main disciplinary tool. We were spanked with either a yard stick, razor strap, or their hands, depending on what we did and how mad they were. While it was pretty harsh and not...

rapunzelcat The dress in the picture is beautiful. I would love to be able to make my own clothes, but the best I can do is to just go by the pattern, I can't even alter it for my measurements. Everything I've made for myself looks obviously homemade. I'm sure that if you...

rapunzelcat Another way to wear one would be to use it to secure a scarf or shawl. I like the idea of fastening it on a purse or bag, I have done this before.

rapunzelcat I was sorry to hear that she passed away. I didn't know she was sick. I remember in 1980 I had an 8-track tape (lol) of her greatest hits. I had just recently gotten the tape and Hot Stuff was playing when I got into the first car accident I ever had. (No...

rapunzelcat I see this discussion is a year old, so you have most likely read the book by now. I read this book about 20 years ago, when it was still fairly new. I found it very creepy. Of course, Stephen King wrote it, so what did I expect? I didn't enjoy it as much as...

rapunzelcat I have used baking soda to wash my hair in the past on an occasional basis and it does get my hair clean. I've heard it can be drying to the hair so I don't use it very often. I think it is worth a try, though. I have also tried to use vinegar in the past....

An Ode to Footloose 1984

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 18 Oct 11

As the remake is in theaters, I just saw the original and all I can say is Why F@ck with perfection? In the 80's it was more believable that kids in a small town would be forbidden to dance. But today? What they don't have an I...
