What To Do?

spazz435 @spazz435 (322) • United States 25 Jul 10

I suffer from Major Depression Disorder. I've had it ever since I was thirteen. I seem fine and act fine, but there are some things that throw me off. Even the littlest things like when a friend makes a joke about me or if I get a...

wyrdsister I'm a bit confused - have you been diagnosed with Major Depression Disorder? If so, I'm concerned that your doctor is not prescribing anti depressants with that kind of diagnosis. Or are you at the point now where you think you may be suffering from...

True Blood Blog?

Breelyn @spicysweetie21 (2572) • United States 12 Apr 09

For all of the True Blood fans out there I was wondering if you think that if I started a True Blood blog when the new season starts, do you think it would be popular at all? And is that type of blog allowed here on Mylot?

wyrdsister So did you ever start a True Blood blog? I'd be very interested in reading it if you did. Let us know if you started it, and where! We can all crush on our love of True Blood together. :)

Do you always add an image to your discussion?

zeethegr8 @zeethegr8 (785) • India 5 Jul 09

wyrdsister I try to add images to the discussions I start, but I can't always come up with something suitable. I figure there isn't much point to posting the same pictures that everyone else does as that gets old pretty fast. It really depends on the topic!

What is the best type of yarn to use to make pot holder

venshida @venshida (4836) • United States 4 Jun 09

I have a lot of leftover yarn, and I am trying to find uses. I was thinking pot holders, but I am unsure as to whether acrylic yarn is a safe choice to use. If you have made potholders in the past, what types of yarn did you use....

acylic yarn

cotton yarn

potholders

wyrdsister My first inclination is that acrylic is probably not your best yarn bet for potholders. If it's the really cheap acrylic, then there's the possibility of the potholder actually melting due to the high heat. This is more likely if you are actually placing a hot...

venshida @venshida (4836) • United States 13 Jun 09

I was browsing on Etsy this morning and found crocheted Tawashi scrubbie so since I never heard of this I plug it into Google to find out what it is. Tawashi scrubbie is basically a scrubbie use to clean things. My understanding...

wyrdsister Does "tawashi" refer to the scrubbie itself, or to what the scrubbie is made out of? You've got me curious - I'm going to have to look this up to! I'm always on the look out for new projects. :)

wyrdsister I've never heard this song, nor heard of it, before now. Now, of course, I'm curious! Like others have mentioned, I don't think the song itself actually CAUSED the suicides. The song probably captured the person's feelings so well that they decided to play...

wyrdsister I see the number that is currently in the brackets beside your name (as I post this) is 27. That means you have made 27 posts so far! Occasionally you may see that number decrease, but only rarely. That usually means that a conversation you started or...

17 year olds and R rated movies.... isn't this a PARENTING choice??

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 18 Feb 09

wyrdsister I think most of us can agree that what your child views entertainment-wise - whether it be a movie, a television programme, or an art show - should be a parenting decision. This is why the regulations regarding under-17s viewing R rated movies provide for...
