The Horse @TheHorse (238296) • Walnut Creek, California 23 Mar 20

I decided to promote my own music today. I'm pretty bored, and haven't done much beyond buy some groceries, smoke cigarettes, chat with friends on the phone, YouTube, and practice a bit of guitar. This is my song about Mark...

Jo Ann @akalinus (44366) • United States 18 Mar 20

I just got the census form that we have to fill out in the US. They are very nosy. I have to send back a form for seven people even though I live here alone. They did not even include a postage-free envelope. Why is my living...

The Horse @TheHorse (238296) • Walnut Creek, California 23 Dec 19

So I was reading @JohnRoberts post about someone deserving to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and it brought to mind how I feel about the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. So the name of it implies to me that it is a hall of fame for...

Have you reached your totally arbitrary MyLot financial goal for October 2019?

The Horse @TheHorse (238296) • Walnut Creek, California 30 Oct 19

I just realized that it's October 30--the month is about to end. It's time for me to examine my MyLot earnings and see if I am on track. As I write, I am troubled by turbulence on my Lear jet. I thought the ride to Paris would be...

Rainy Day Blues - Not

Susan @HazySue (39265) • Gouverneur, New York 25 Jul 19

Some people feel blue, depressed, or down whenever they end up with a rainy day. Not me, I love rainy days as long as the raindrops don't bring along thunder and lightening. To me, a rainy day is one that makes the grass,...

The St. Louis Blues just won the Stanley Cup. They won 4-1 over the Boston Bruins. I'm not really a fan of either team but it was an exciting seven game series and tonight in game 7 it was more of the same. Just wanted to...
