Have you heard of it or are you a member? Can you tell me anything about it? I personally think there are more than enough networking sites out there, do we really need any more? I don't even know the man that sent me this invite, I know a few 'Steves' but not this one with this surname [em]confused[/em] Have you ever been invited to a social networking site that you didn't know by someone you didn't know. Did you accept?

Then as I got on my own I didn't have a tree for a couple years. Now we have this 6 foot fake tree and it's a beauty. It was giving to me from a friend and we been putting it up for years now. I like real trees but they dry out the needles fall off and then you have to get rid of it after Christmas. This one you just put back in the closet for next year. What do you prefer "FAKE or REAL"? Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:01:53 GMT missybear http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2187149.aspx Literally on my way out of the door in pursuit of snapping up a bargain bread maker in town, this thought occured to me, will it have a plug on? One of the first ever electrical appliances I bought was a liquidiser (possibly a blender over the pond). Now back then plugs were not attached to appliances and I have never seen the slightest point in learning how to electrocute myself, so naturally asked the man in the shop to attach one. He rudely laughed about my requesting this service, stupid move, as I immediately crossed the road to the rival electrical store, told the tale, bought the item there, and had a free plug attached. Incidentally that liquidiser lasted over 20 years and I never ever shopped at the other shop again, even when they became a huge national chain. I'm certain my bread maker will have a plug attached but do you recall when this type of thing was not the norm? Are you plug illiterate too?

Domestic Violence was one of the main issues. I expressed a wish to have an amicable separation. Do you think he is capable of this? No, the crap that is coming from him is really getting to me. We have to organise who gets what; fridge, bed, heaps of stuff. These are some examples: I send him text messages... 90% he doesnt reply to. He sends me the rare text message, which natually Im expected to reply to quickly... example the other day.." Get my gear together and put it in the spare room"! As he hasn't replied to text messages re the blankets of mine he has, the money he owes me for water & electricity, I send this via email to his work. He doesnt reply. He sends text regarding pick up dates. I reply via email (cant get all that in text messages). I receive a few texts re the camera is his; the computer is half his, etc. My credit on mobile runs out. I give up on texting him. Send emails instead. He sends email saying I sent him wrong dates (rubbish). I reply with more dates, repeated requests for a time plan on when he is going to pay me electricity bill. He says we need mediation re. belongings in the house. I agree (even though I thinks its silly to mediate over the toaster, etc). He sends email saying that if Im not available on date for pick up of his gear, he will have the police there to watch so that I cant claim he stole anything (this is the date I gave him saying it was good for me). He sends email saying mediation is arranged & that I will get letter. He wont tell me the date. I send email asking for date, as I have to book my daughters Xrays, etc. He wont reply. He sends email saying I am not allowed to send emails to his work address any more. In this email he has dates for pick up of gear. Says I have to text him re.this. I refuse, as I havent bought credits yet. I reply to this ban on emails (via email) explaining about credits & texts. Today, I send text from my daughters phone saying he is welcome to ring me at home re dastes for pick up, mediation date, etc. No phone call yet. Is this paranoia or what? Is this my ex hubby trying to control all communication (ie, his way, which is texts of his choosing)? Is this my ex hubby trying to set me up as being difficult? Is this how perpetuators of domestic violence act when they cant acknowlege guilt? Im fed up. It's crap. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:25:37 GMT jennybianca http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2187053.aspx Many unmarried people would like to say “I am happy”, considering the single will be free, easy, carefree, and there is no need to worry about the family. The whole family will not be hungry when one is stuffed. You don’t have to care about other people, you can do what ever in your own way, and nothing matters too much. However, many guys will say they are unhappy, like a lonely puppet with infinite boredom and emptiness. When you go travelling far way, you watch the beautiful sunset varnishing the sky, you have breakfast alone, fall asleep alone and watch the TV dramas alone without knowing what it is about. If you are single, are you afraid of the lonely long night? Are you afraid of your future? If you are single, do you care about other people’s happiness? Can you keep happy al the time? Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:00:19 GMT getbrowser http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2187028.aspx So as I sit here and enjoy a nice cold one I was thinking to myself whynot start a discussion here on mylot about it. I myself am not a hardcore beer drinker I have a favorite beer but the one I am drinking now is ok but is strong. SO here is the topic do you like the way beer tastes? Or do you drink more because of the price? If you had a choice between beer and liqour what would you choose? Let me know and happy mylotting to everyone. [em]happy[/em] Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:58:42 GMT momtrying2makeit http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2187045.aspx A man who had a few drinks at an American Legion decided to sleep it off in his car instead of driving. He put the keys under the driver seat. He then climbed into the back of his car to sleep it off. He was going to drive home in the morning. The cops woke him up about two hours later, tested him with a breath analyzer and he tested positive. He was arrested for DWI. Not driving but sleeping in his car. To me he did the right thing by not driving but he was still arrested. This is totally ridiulous. The law says because he had the keys in the car nothing was preventing him from driving the car. If he had given the keys to someone to hold I guess he wouldn't have been arrested. I think the cops were having a slow night and were bored personally. For doing the right thing he still got screwed. The judge has now convicted him and I believe his lawyer is going to appeal the case. Something is wrong with this law in my opinion.
