A bad start for my discussion's first sentence, right? But I cant help not to type it down first. I really don't like my brother-in-law. For me he was very irresponsible to his family. His wife (my sister) and their son are staying with us, well that's fine because we also like to help them in a way because as of now they cant afford to buy or rent their own house. But what i was annoyed about is that my brother-in-law seems like he forgotten his responsibility to his wife and son. He is always on his work and seldom visits his family. He usually don't buy milk and food for his son, and worst, he did not buy clothes for his son even once. So, it is all up to me, my mother, and my sister to provide the needs of the child. I talked to my brother-in-law about his behavior. He cried and told me that he will be better. But until now he still don't change. He is still who he was. I talked to my sister about it, but that move just torn me down. My sister love him so much so she took his side and gave justifications on why her husband behaving like that. It made me hate my brother-in-law more! How about you? Do you have a problem with your brother-in-law?

Do you think all politicians children should be off limits to the media?

A lot of you gave great advice and I still plan to pursue this. Since this can be considered an "international" event, the idea of reporting my stalker to local police wouldn't really help, but I do plan to contact some of those cyberstalking websites for advice as no doubt he'll bother me again. The good news is that for now, my stalker is gone, zapped, history, either he closed his account himself or was banned (he did get a lot of people reporting him as harassing me) as now one just gets that blank page. Now for some of the evidences I have: One, I don't have all his obnoxious comments to me when he was here under his numerous usernames (he's had six identities) as many were deleted when my friends and I reported them for being obnoxious, flaming, harassing and insulting to me, however, I did copy/paste a number of them and stored them in my emails...I'm now backtracking and going to make full documentations of them that also provide dates of such comments to me, show his user names, etc. Two, I also have screenshots of his last appearance and profile page. Three, I DO have his IP address thanks to a friend of mine [em]wink[/em] and it does show his country of origin. Once I get advice from one of those cyberstalker sites on what to do next I'll be able to present my "evidence" to them should they ask for it. So many of you voiced your concern that I may have been having stress or having sleepless nights due to this stalker..NOPE... I sleep fine...LOL...If anything he just pisses me off and would like to squash him like a bug and if there's some legal means to do so will. No doubt he'll show up again...as he does seem to have a "infatuation" with me in a rather obsessive way---gee, maybe I have a boyfriend...uh....excuse me.... {Pyewacket runs to the bathroom to puke} Have any of you had a stalker? Someone that follows you around in an obsessive sort of way? Thu, 04 Jun 2009 00:38:06 GMT pyewacket http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1742308.aspx Would you leave your cats alone in your house if you went on vacation? What would you do with your cats if you decided not to leave them home alone? Once I went on vacation and was so scared to leave my cat by himself, that I took him along. Looking back, I realize he probably could have taken care of himself for a few days, assuming I left plenty of food, water and litter. But, at the time, he was only a year old and still a kitten and my only cat, so I doted on him. What would you have done in a similar situation?

The first I did was turn off the power regulator of my computer and then I turn off the air conditioner, I went down and unplug the refrigerator. I checked on the kids and went on preparing a bed on the other room. Since we have no rechargeable fans, we have to sleep on the playroom because it is well ventilated. I made a bed there and started transferring the kids, I have to wake them up to change their clothes, they sleep with long sleeves because we have aircon in our room and so I have to change them in more comfortable one. Then after that we proceed on trying to sleep amidst the warm air. as we are getting ready the power turns on again. Thank heavens! it is just funny that after all the effort of preparing a bed in the other room the power will be OK, but I am thankful of course! I can't imagine how my kids will sleep outside our room with no fans. This brownout thing led me to start a discussion.. [i][b]How about you guys? What is the first thing you do when you experienced power interruption?[/b][/i] [i]and oh, I forgot to turn on the ref![/i][em]lol[/em][em]lol[/em] Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:54:53 GMT pehpot http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1542107.aspx Just about any site online has its share of troublemakers…their called trolls. Trolls are ppl that deliberately try to cause trouble. Usually to either get a member kicked out or to disrupt a site. I belong to a couple of sites, including MyLot, which has its share of these trolls. The best advice ppl can follow is Don’t Feed The Trolls. That simply means don’t give in to them. If you do, you’re simply feeding into them and allowing them to do just what they’ve set out to do. Now this isn’t directed at any one person here…I’ve been fortunate enough that I haven’t run into any yet. At least I don’t think so. Trolls can be very tricky...they may disguise themselves to look like a friend. As with anything, whether on the Internet or in real life, you have your good apples and bad apples. The trick is to find the bad ones, get rid of them and keep the good ones. After all you wouldn’t throw out a whole bag of apples b/c you found one worm. BTW, the pic included has some very good troll info on it. What is your definition of a troll? Have you ever run into one? What’s your advice for avoiding them? **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~ Mon, 02 Jun 2008 09:34:49 GMT twoey68 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1559057.aspx what are your words of comfort to comfort the victim after the couple that you know break up from their relationship? Fri, 13 Jun 2008 02:17:35 GMT titaniumsoul http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1485368.aspx I was walking down the street the other day and saw a mom who had three small boys. The oldest was about 6 youngest was still in a stroller and was about two years old. Ok so they were acting up a bit. She told them if they didn't stop she would walk away and leave them. The oldest was trying to make the the youngest quiet down but he was a little and didnt understand. He started screaming. The mom looked at them and said "THATS IT!!" she left the stroller and started walking away. I WAS SHOCKED!!. The oldest son grabbed the stroller. Can you imagine a six year old doing that and started running after mom and the middle child followed. THEY ALL GOT QUIET AND followed mom who didn't say a word. The walked on down the street and the mom took the stroller from the oldest child and said. "You guys see what happens when you don't listen to mom". They didn't say a word and just walked right beside mom. Ok tell me what you think. Do you think the mom was right for up and leaving the babies?? They did mind her after that. I wonder if she had left them before?? What would you have done?? Mon, 21 Apr 2008 07:39:27 GMT mssnow http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1332689.aspx A couple from my area who originally came from the Phillippines are facing deportation about being here over 24 years because they allegedly lied on a form about their marital status (which they deny, saying it was a mistake) back in 1978. The husband is a respected and successful physcian with over 2000 patients and the wife owns and operates an ethic food shop and bakery in their home town. The couple has four children, two still in high school. This family has done nothing wrong in all the years they've been here; they've worked hard, paid their taxes, spoken our language and followed our laws. They have nothing or no one back in the Phillippines as their entire extended family is now here in the U.S. My heart breaks for these people and I only wish there were something I could do for them. What do you think, does this seem one bit fair to you? Annie Sat, 17 Nov 2007 13:41:39 GMT anniepa http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/934099.aspx It seems that the US has been in Iraq for such a long time now and there seems to be no real ideas as to how to solve all of Iraqs problems. I am not debating if it was correct or wrong for the Us to invade Iraq, it has happened. It is the aftermath that I am concerned about. The US congress wants the US troops out, yet when they leave an area chaos breaks out. Look at the news yesterday 100 people killed. Groups just going round killing each other. It seems like the US has no idea how to solve the problems, but also the Iraqi people do not seem to want peace to be in their country. Killing each other and having old rivalries seem to be the most important thing. The religious hatred will always be there. The people always seem to have a problem with other sections of the community. Will these problems ever be solved? I see the US withdrawl as the start of a bloodbath, the country will rip itself apart and outside countries will help this also. Will the people of Iraq ever have a peaceful future?
