I just read that My Lot will stop paying us to post and respond. I'm staying because I love the posts I read and write here but I wonder how many are here only for the money and will go? I have met and talked to many good and...

shiningstar1 I wondered why it looked different when I was signing in. I didn't realize the site was changing until today. Where are the topics? I liked those. It would have been nice to receive an e-mail telling us about the change and then allowing people to decide on...

Snow in spring?

shiningstar1 @shiningstar1 (94) 24 Mar 13

Wow, it seems like the UK seasons are changing. March isn't like spring anymore but it's still like Winter. It seems like summer will never come at the moment. Instead it's like the Ice Queen has come and taken over. Does...

shiningstar1 Yes, I would like a bit of warmth. I have a really cold room at home as well. Hopefully it will end soon. This snow is making me think about that film, The Day After Tomorrow for some reason.

shiningstar1 I guess it's deciding to change for a reason. Some may say it's related with global warming. Too many carbon emissions, etc. Who knows?

Lack of Motivation

ajlasent @ajlasent (536) • Philippines 8 Feb 13

Have you ever felt like there's not a reason to be motivated, not even for yourself? Sometimes, well.. a lot, lately, I've been feeling this way. Like there's nothing good happening no matter how hard I try to make things work...

shiningstar1 I have had days when I'm down too. Exercise is good. How is that working out for you? Have you thought about what makes you happy? This can be a good motivator. I had a day when I was down, not doing anything at all. The thing that got me going again was a...

Does Freewill Really Exist?

shiningstar1 @shiningstar1 (94) 3 Feb 13

Do you believe in freewill? I was thinking about the comments people make about free will. We have been told we have free will to choose what ever we want. But if we think about it, we are all born with a different and...

shiningstar1 Thanks for the reply. Could our commitments be our choices we made being that it is something we are committed to in our lives? Or I guess we all had no choice as we can't choose our family and we have no choice but to work or we can't live very well. But...

I was making a cup of hot chocolate after work, and it being so cold. I mixed a spoonful of peanut butter. I am heaven right now it's so delicious. I think I might do this more often, I would imagine you can add the Reese's...

do smart people talk to themselves?

3SnuggleBunnies @3SnuggleBunnies (16374) • United States 20 Jan 13

This article talks about if we talk about things that we are trying to accomplish while we are doing them that our brains process things faster and we achieve more. Do you find this true for yourself? I think it has to be true to...

shiningstar1 I think many people talk to themselves because I think it is a way to help the person think more clearly and see and understand things better about a situation. Some people talk out loud to themselves about a task they are doing, when in really deep thought to...

shiningstar1 You should be able to do what you want. It's good the priest was ok with it. I have been born into an Orthodox religion and as a child never really liked it. I found the church service boring and annoying. My mum stopped taking us when me and my sisters' went...
