I just read an article from some Commie news source, like ABC News or something, saying that a law had been voted down in Missouri (or perhaps just not signed into law by its senate or something) that would prohibit children from...

I was away for quite sometime because I got busy with the AC installation in my house. The heat beat me, huhu. Despite the five electric fans in my house, it still isn’t enough with the stifling heat we are all experiencing right...

As you know, I suffer from a bit of OCD and am what some describe as a "clean freak." I vacuum literally bi-weekly, sometimes shower three times a month, and wash my hands almost every time I go potty, even at home.
Today, I...

What if I have chosen the career I was truly interested in when I was younger? Would I have been able to write books and become a published author?
What if I have decided to pursue my first love, would I have been happier or...

James Higgins So many "ifs" in all our lives really. But I am in a very good place right now, so if I had taken other roads in life, I would be in a different place, with a different woman, perhaps, or no one, so in order to be "here" now, I had to choose the path I took.

The collage shows photos I took at Downpatrick. I’ve done separate posts on the sea stack, the blowhole and the WWII relics.
Here, upper left, you can see the lovely little white flowers that were very prolific in the area. Upper...

I wrote before about Dun Briste, the sea stack just off Downpatrick Head in Ireland. It is 63 metres long and 23 wide. Dun Briste means ‘broken fort’.
I realised I didn’t have a photo of it that showed it on its own in all its...

I have been complaining that I have not heard enough birds this Spring. But just now I heard some turkeys gobbling outside, maybe 70 yards away.
Kitty heard them too and came in, asking what she should do.
I rubbed her back and...

Today, I wanted to be clingy virtually. I am having body pain on my right side because I slipped and fell down yesterday afternoon. Don't be worried, I am fine. In times like this, I do feel clingy and longing for someone to take...

James Higgins I would think that she would prefer that and, if he had a say, he would no doubt agree.

This is a wild grapevine of native North Carolina grapes. We don't know for certain if they are muscadine or scuppernong as the birds and other critters eat them up before they mature.
Perhaps a myLotter who knows their grape...

James Higgins is right. Sweet weather today. I did little tasks while I waited for the grass to dry. The grass was too thick to dry so I just mowed anyway after I re--homed the bird feeder and its shepherd's crook in front of...

Do you like Eggs Benedict?
I like it. It is rich, buttery and creamy all in one. It is made of poached eggs with bacon and an English muffin or bread with Hollandaise sauce. Really yummy. I can have this for brunch everyday...

I got to play with my "girl friend" Harper for two hours this morning! She is almost 13-mos of age and is wobbling around on two legs pretty confidently.
We have a new "thing" when she drinks from her bottle. She takes a swig and...

Sometimes conversations go on and on on MyLot. To me, those are the most fun. Sometimes a bit of humor is involved.
But sometimes threads get so long that I can't tell what someone is responding to. For example, if someone says...

Of course he won't. He is pissed that other Republicans dare to challenge him. He won't sign the pledge to support whoever the eventual GOP nominee is if it isn't him. He also is pissed that the 2nd debate is being held at the...
