Face it, we can't go anywhere without a car...or something like that. But for us who are lucky to have our own set of wheels, what story do you have about it that makes her, shine so brightly in your eyes.My 1991 Mazda 929 was the same car we drove my oldest son home from the hospital. She was my dad's, but she's mine now...and she doesn't look a day over one month old...ok, maybe a couple months but only because the plastics and such are cracking, rear windows don't roll down, no heat (don't really need it in AZ) and the disk player doesn't work...big whoop. She's reliable and in wonderful condition. The only problem with her, she's only a 5 seater...*Pleiades

The Soviet Union - why did they give up?

The Soviet Union collapsed on 1991, nearly 18 years ago. I live in country which used to be under thins unions wings. I was a little kid when it started to fall in pieces but I remember main events back there. We lived in our own commune, abroad were like other planet. On summer trips we drove around other Soviet countries where there was only one language - russian. This organization was tough, ideological and very unfair. Unfair because it repressed individual countries freedom. Countries like Latvia, Estonia, Ukrain, Georgia, Lithuania etc. had to give up their ideas and dreams about their own motherland. But there was something good about it too. There wasn't unemployment, money problems (meaning that hardly there were people who couldn't buy a piece of bread for them to eat). I wonder, what really happened in year 1991? Why did they suddenly decide to approve our countries to be...

Serial killers give me shivers.

This week I was watching a documentary about BTK serial killer in Wichita, Kansas. It really gave me shivers that he managed to kill a lot of people without being captured for almost thirty years. He seemed a normal person. It give me shivers to know that there might be someone like him living in my area. I fail to understand how does a father of two and founder member of a christian protestant church is capable of doing such horrible crimes. What do you think of serial killers?[i]Dennis Lynn Rader (born March 9, 1945) is an American serial killer who murdered 10 people in Sedgwick County (in and around Wichita, Kansas), between 1974 and 1991. He was known as the BTK killer (or the BTK strangler), which stands for "Bind, Torture and Kill," which describes his modus operandi. Letters were written soon after the killings to police and to local news outlets, boasting of the crimes and...

Your child's birth.. tell me about it.

I love to hear stories about children being born. Some are so exciting. Some are sad. Some are scary. Some are funny while others are downright weird.Children often love to hear about when they were born and my son was no exception. I found myself telling him often but I left out the details and just shared with him my feelings of first seeing him and holding him and how much love I never knew I could have for another person.Tell me about the day you had your babies (even if they are older now). I'll share mine first:A year before my son was born, I had several miscarriages - one being rather emotional and difficult. I was already 6 months pregnant and I lost the baby because of an ovarian cyst the size of a small watermelon. I ended up needing surgery to have my left ovary removed and I thought I was doomed to never have children. But I was wrong!I found out I was pregnant 4...

What Was The Very First CD That You Owned?

Do you remember what the very first CD (Compact Disc) was that you owned? What CD was it, when did you get it?

The very first CD I received as a gift and owned was MC Hammer's album Too Legit To Quit lol.What was the first CD that you owned?

who loves watching The Nanny?

hi all!The Nanny is one of the funniest and most interesting tv programmes that i have ever watched on tv. i remember the time when i first watched the series back then around 1991-1992. of course, being 9-10 years old, my english skills are still a bit rusty and i can only laugh at dialogues that i can understand or when there are slapstick comedy scenes. but i still loved watching it=)then, just a few months ago, i found out (too late) that The Nanny is being aired on the Hallmark Channel (in Asia). i started regularly watching it and still found it to be hilarious! and thank goodness that i can understand english better, i now get the punch lines, and even those deep thought-provoking remarks from Niles aimed at Ms. Babcock. and aside from the comedy, you learn something useful each episode (the values, not the fashion statement, hehehe).in your case, do you love watching (or...

People who are or want to, start a new business in 2009

I am curious how many people here on myLot are starting, are planning to start, or are considering starting their own business in 2009. What I wanted to know is this your first business? Do you have other businesses that you run or do you work for someone else? What kind of business are you starting? Will it be online, offline or both? Are you dealing in physical products or is it a service business? The main reason I'm asking is that I am now putting together a quick business plan to start a business that will start online but move to both online and offline. It is in the field for which I've worked since 1991 and now more than ever, it is something I think can be useful by helping people with credit card debt. Is your new business idea in the field you have experience in or is it a whole new direction for you?

Honor Killings...

I am sure most of you have heard of these types of killings. There was on in 1991 in the USA, then again in 1999 and another in Swedan in 2002. So it is not something that does not happen anymore. I am sure there are different reasons for them but they all end with the same result. "2002 incendent" http://www.amews.org/review/reviewarticles/mojabfinal.htm "honor murders in Missouri, Ohio, and in parts of New Jersey, New York, and Canada which took place during the last quarter-century." http://righttruth.typepad.com/right_truth/2008/01/honor-killings.htmlSo now my question about this is how is a woman being the victim of rape dishonorable to the family? So dishonorable that she has to be killed?
