I Knew Way Too Much

Jim Bauer @porwest (112503) • United States 24 May

I knew that she was being evicted by her landlord and that she was having "encounters" with him. "He come knockn' at 6AM!" Probably looking for rent or something, who knows? I knew that she wanted to call the police on him the...

Good Morning, myLot on Saturday, 23 May

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 23 May

Good morning from Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's almost noon here and 62 F. It's sunny and pleasant. I need a break before my mind explodes. I said I would be here today to find out how you all are doing. Yes, I've been writing...

BarBaraPrz It's 1:29, 11°C, and raining, raining, raining. And it'll continue to rain all day and night, into tomorrow. I don't like it. Feels like winter's back. I had planned to tackle the weeds in the driveway today, but...

Pink slime - have you heard of it?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381312) • Rockingham, Australia 22 May

Have you heard of ‘pink slime’? Western Australia has now had its first examples of AI-generated online news outlets which pose as local news sites and/or regional newspapers. The colloquial term for such sites is ‘pink slime’....

What was I dreaming about?

Fleur @Fleura (34919) • United Kingdom 22 May

This morning I woke around 4 am – again. It was just light and the birds were singing, which is lovely to listen to, but nevertheless I really didn’t want to be awake as I’m very tired after several mornings like this and going to...

The modern definition of home

Fleur @Fleura (34919) • United Kingdom 22 May

I saw this sign in a shop recently and it made me laugh – although of course it’s funny because it’s so close to the truth. How many places does your device recognise as familiar?

A Busy Day Ahead

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (90931) • United States 22 May

Happy Friday Everyone! we have a little break from the rain and it almost looks like the sun is trying to come out. However, the heat wave is over (for now) and it's chilly. The Mother Nature roller coaster continues. My oldest...

The Summer of 1986

celticeagle @celticeagle (189603) • Boise, Idaho 19 May

I am reminded of that year due to another Mylotter's post. I had just left my third husband and was living in this cute little two-bedroom brownstone with my daughter. I was unemployed and living off my AT&T stocks. I had money to...

BarBaraPrz It's only 13°C/55°F this morning, after being 30°C/86°F yesterday. I think there was a tornado warning last night but I only heard the klaxon and not the announcement (I was away from the radio). It's supposed to get up to 18°/65°... room temperature. I'll be...

For free?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169332) • United States 18 May

You may remember some of my neighbors took down a big cedar tree that had splintered out due to heavy winds. They had left the bigger pieces until a later date. That date had not yet come for them to split it and remove the...

Is the pool going to open this year?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127095) • United States 17 May

That is the big question around here these days. When I first moved here 7 years ago it was both open all summer and free to use. Then COVID had it closed as well as a year when they couldn't get lifeguards. After that they...

BarBaraPrz I guess the $50 goes to pay for a lifeguard, but I've never heard of a pool in a private residential complex having one.

It's Really Kind of Funny...

celticeagle @celticeagle (189603) • Boise, Idaho 17 May

Peace in my Golden Years

celticeagle @celticeagle (189603) • Boise, Idaho 18 May

Depression seems to push some odd memories on me. Love isn't a one way street. I've sure given a lot. My last husband changed so much. Into such a cynicle and negative person. The last few times I saw him he was like a different...

Does anyone care about the World Cup?

Amber @AmbiePam (120206) • United States 10 May
