Let's Get This Party Started!!

positivelypink @positivelypink (38) • Midway City, California 13 Aug 15

I am so happy to be back on the 'lot' with some of my friends that I met here, year's ago! BUT it seem's to me that it is rather slow for them to come back. I am going to contact all that I know that were here before & get them...

Wilson I think it's for two main reasons. Many people don't know myLot is back and running again. There was no e-mail to tell us this and had it not been for a Facebook group I am in I would have not known the site was back up either. The second is people are...

Wilson Social Networking sites can be a bad thing, but then again they can also be a good thing. It really depends on how the child uses the site. If the child is using it to talk to people they have met already it usually has no problem. The only thing is that the...

My brother doesn't come back

wongchoiyee @wongchoiyee (7413) • Malaysia 29 Sep 12

My mom was waiting for him for the past 2 months, and no coming back or call from him, he has moved out because he can't stand us, we treat him well enough, but don't know why he acted like that. Should I call him?

Wilson Sometimes we have to make our own path. My brother was kicked out for seeing a girl my mom didn't like behind her back. He's now been happily married to the girl for about 8 years. Sometimes you have to cut the strings.

What if no online earning? What would you do then?

wongchoiyee @wongchoiyee (7413) • Malaysia 29 Sep 12

A pleasant day Fellow Mylotters, I was quite surprised with what I have experienced today, as I was able to finish my writing having a music on the background. Whereas before, I cannot concentrate well if a music was being...

Wilson I actually learned a skill at the age of 8. It was how to fix most cassette players. Unfortunately it isn't a skill that can really be used for a job now, but at the time it was a good thing to know.

Wilson I don't necessarily have a sleeping time. When I lived alone I would usually sleep from 4pm to 10 pm so I would be awake during the time where my online friends are awake. Now that I live with two kids that is no longer possible. I usually end up going to bed...

What's a good virus scan to get?

LouieWpHs04 @LouieWpHs04 (4554) • United States 26 Sep 12

Just considering a new virus scan to get, what would be your guys recommendations? Please don't recommend the super well-known ones, as that wouldn't really help me!

Wilson I stick with the free microsoft security essentials. I have never found the need to pay for virus scans. I know for the most part how to go in and take out viruses myself though so it isn't really something I need. But for the basics MSE works great.

Unschooling Child.

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 31 Aug 11

Parents , would you home school your child? I know if I had kids I would get them a tutor and keep them at home. It isn't because of their safety or that they will not learn what they need or because of bullies. It is all the...

Wilson I don't think homeschooling is a good idea. In school you also learn a lot of things that you need in life that you can't really learn at home. You have to let the child out of the safety bubble home provides. Also for me I was homeschooled until seventh...

Wilson If you are going to homeschool you should not do it in the middle of nowhere. I was homeschooled and lived in the middle of nowhere. When I was put into a normal school in seventh grade I didn't have the social ability I should have had by that age. I...

I guess getting up at 5am is good for me..

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28717) • United States 26 Sep 12

I don't know why, but I woke up at 5am today. There was no reason. Nobody else was awake. I just opened my eyes at 5am and couldn't close them again. This never happens to me! I'm not a morning person. I'm the type that hits...

Wilson Getting up early can be a good thing. When I wake up early I seem to get more done. When I lived alone I would only sleep when I wanted to and usually would be up at like 3 in the morning because most of my online friends are from different time zones. But...

Is mixed education better than schools for boys or girls only?

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5952) • Greece 26 Sep 12

I started my education in a mixed infant school. Everyone did and it was enjoyable especially as my twin brother was in the same class with me. Junior school which followed was also mixed but by that time the playground had become...

Wilson I think there is more to school than textbooks. I think school is also about learning about life. It's hard to experience and learn about dating and issues among different sexes when in a unisex school and these are things everyone needs for life.

How I Feel

arielpaige @arielpaige (257) • United States 26 Sep 12

We have to respect the elders yet the young one deserves to be respected too.

ardoy0731 @ardoy0731 (7308) • Philippines 26 Sep 12

Respect should be given to each of us. Respect should not impose but have to earned. Indeed we have to respect people around us especially those who are older than us just what our parents taught us. Respect the elders. But...

Wilson I don't think respect is earned by age. I was told by a guy who punched his child in the face that I should respect him because he was my elder. I turned it around saying "If you met Bin Laden while he was still alive would you respect him? he's your elder."...

Dementia

bulastika @bulastika (5966) • Philippines 10 Sep 12

To be honest. I want to die young. Or I want to die when my mind is still clear. I see old people just can't think straight anymore. I'm afraid that when I grow old and become forgetful or naughty or grouchy. I know no one can...

2 responses

Wilson I definitely agree with you. I have spent the majority of my life around elderly people. They are always hurting, grouchy, and forgetful. I would definitely take dying young (in a peaceful way) over that.
