Toni LoCicero's Responses

Good Thursday Morning, myLot!

Stacey @xstitcher (27061) • Petaluma, California 23 Feb

Hello, all! It's my Friday, which means it's Thursday. I get paid today, so I will likely be going to the bank tomorrow. It's likely to be another cold day today. I'm hoping to get a ride home today, but I'm not going to...

Toni LoCicero I would love to give you a ride home today...even though it's colder than in the freezer. I'm treasuring the time that I'm getting to stay home today and tomorrow. I'm going to do laundry today and also clean the apartment. I also am going to help my...

Grab rails should be in all public toilets, not just 'handicapped' ones.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (43028) • Daytona Beach, Florida 20 Feb

I am not one to complain about my disability. I am not one to vent over what I can't control in a public setting. I don't like feeling entitled, but I can't help but feel.... helpless. I guess. As you may know, I'm in a...

Toni LoCicero I am in total agreement with you that there is a definite need for grab rails in the normal sized bathroom stalls. Not everyone has an obvious disability, but they are in need of assistance given by the hand rails. I am one of those people that is in that...

Do you use "figures of speech" in your conversation and writing?

The Horse @TheHorse (176569) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Feb

After reading Linda's (@LindaOHio's) post this morning about silly red boots that are selling for $350/pair, I used the expression "There's a sucker born every minute" in a couple of comments. Prior to reading her post, I had...

Toni LoCicero I have to add one that came to mind as I was speaking to a friend of mine over the phone, I had it on speaker mode and I was passing wind (yes, I was farting my brains out) and that was again from my then husband. The figure of speech- "Speak oh toothless...

Have you ever phoned in a bad driver? Would you have phoned this guy in?

The Horse @TheHorse (176569) • Walnut Creek, California 19 Feb

I was driving home from an errand this morning when a firetruck approached me from the East with its lights flashing. I pulled over. I was at a stop light, so there was no loss of time for me. I "do the right thing" when a...

Toni LoCicero My neighbor told me that insurance in California was going to double. She couldn't figure out why, until I started to lay out facts to her. For one the horrible drivers that hope for their vehicles are involved in an accident so they can get a new...

Is news reporting becoming too sensationalised?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304633) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Feb

The photo doesn't really belong but the discussion is about Australia so I've used a photo of iconic Aussie icons. An Australian TV presenter, Leigh Sales, was recently interviewed and spoke on a number of...

Toni LoCicero I've gotten to the point where I don't watch the news. I can't handle all the horrible news about all the catastrophes not only locally, country wide, but also worldwide too. You hear about all the shootings, stabbings, and murders that you become paranoid...

Toni LoCicero There is one that pops into my mind every time that I clean out the litter box. When I was married my then husband, when someone burped, would say "Save the big chunks". That will enter my mind all too often as I lift a scoop of wads of balls of urine out of...

Poor Nico got a rude wake up this morning

snowy @snowy22315 (150940) • United States 20 Feb

So, anyway Nico wanted to be fed early this morning as per usual. It was still dark in the room, and when I got out of bed I tromped on his tail...Yikes, he didn't know whether to scream, attack or run away. He sort of did a...

Toni LoCicero I stepped on Petey's tail a couple of weeks ago. He yelled blue murder at me and pulled his tail out from under my foot and sat down a couple of feet from me and waved his tail at me in annoyance. He is a bit more careful where he leaves his tail when he...

How to use ChatGPT to write a discussion at myLot

GoAskAlice @GoAskAlice (5770) 17 Feb

It is very simple. DON'T. I just removed another member that went from consistently writing discussions of three or four lines of passable English to a pair of missives written today of four...

Toni LoCicero I tried to respond to your discussion yesterday, but I was so tired that I managed to somehow lose it before I was able to post it. So, on my "me" day I am going to try to do a quick response before I go on to do the stuff that I am going to try to do. I...

Are you a sarcast?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304633) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Feb

The photo has nothing to do with the post although I guess you could say Petal is dishevelled. I came across this word today and it’s one I hadn’t heard before although I’m thoroughly familiar with the adjective which derives...

Toni LoCicero I guess in many ways I am "sarcast". When I am asked at a doctor's office how tall I am I tend to answer, "Tall enough to reach the ground". Today I left a Christmas gift bag on my neighbor's chair. He asked me what it was, and the "sarcast" in me answered...

My Secretary

Jo Ann @akalinus (38135) • United States 11 Feb

Here is a picture of my secretary enjoying a much-needed rest after telling me how to write the other day. He sits near my computer and gives me looks when I type the wrong thing. I wanted to get his photo of him sitting there...

Toni LoCicero Petey is great on the computer. He will erase responses, orders, programs or place orders. He also loves to sit on the computer and fart. There is nothing like a rumbling cheek rattler to make you abandon your computer for five to ten minutes....

Judy Story @jstory07 (127113) • Roseburg, Oregon 10 Feb

We took three days to go to three different stores to buy everything we will need for the month. The first store had meat on sale. The second store had the rest of the food items that we need. Than to Costco today to get...

Peppie has taken over

Always smiling @allknowing (115023) • India 26 Jan

Every time the gate bell rang Preiti our pet dog would accompany me to the gate, wage her tail and wait till I dealt with whoever was at the gate. We lost Preiti almost 4 years ago. Lately I notice Peppie our pet cat has been...

Toni LoCicero You will find that you are Peppie's person, and no one had better mess with you. Petey is that way, and he lets it be known that he doesn't want to share me with anyone else. You should have seen him today when he saw my face when I got home. I did a face...

Toni LoCicero This is a bit off color idea, but you could convert it into a "cat house". If you stop and think about it, a lot of the pioneers lived in houses that were as small or smaller as your shed. Some of them were families of...

Loving my son for exactly who he is

Sissy15 @sissy15 (11119) • United States 13 Jan

When I had my son I remember thinking I'd do anything in the world to make sure he has the life he deserves. I remember having all these hopes and dreams for him. I wanted so much for him and that really hasn't changed. What has...

Toni LoCicero Your son sounds so much like me! My parents pushed me to be what "they" wanted me to be, they didn't respect what I wanted to be. I love arts and crafts and especially music. They wanted me to enter the world of finance and become a high paid executive...

Monday wrestling match with my chair

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (53519) • Centralia, Washington 2 Jan

Christmas day early panicking

Luis Asuncion @luisga814 (6859) • Quezon City, Philippines 25 Dec

Around 5am of December 25, 2022. My neighbor had a panic and almost all of the neighbors including us had a panic too. The reason: her nephew was lost under their custody. They left their nephew sleeping around 4am in order to go...

Toni LoCicero Sorry, but to me the mother taking the boy without informing anyone is kidnapping. Especially if the child is in the custody of the neighbor (Aunt). Proper arrangements should have been made for the mother to pick up the child and that the Aunt approved the...

Toni LoCicero This period of December means that even fewer people will be on the Lot. If it's like my neck of the woods, even the bus schedule is different. It's the holidays and either we have to put up or shut up. Shoot, we don't even have sufficient doctors for the...
