The newest trend on social media.

April @thislittlepennyearns (66496) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 12 Feb

Ever since AI escaped the tech lab and moved into everybody’s pocket, the trends have been multiplying like glitter. You blink once and suddenly your entire feed is doing the same thing. The latest one that finally grabbed me by...

Bensen32 I'm always tempted to check them out but then they ask for an email and I'm out. It is interesting how it works, and love the photo there :)

Unusual Olympics Headlines

Amber @AmbiePam (112773) • United States 12 Feb

I haven’t been watching the Olympics, but some stories seem to go out past the sports realm, and tend to permeate the world of non sport fans. The one that stands out to me is the Norwegian athlete, who when he won bronze,...

Bensen32 I have not been watching or even paying attention to it, once I heard about some Americans and their political comments, I decided it was not worth watching.

Hello again, myLot!

Stacey @xstitcher (38032) • Petaluma, California 12 Feb

I went and took a 2,500 step walk, and currently have 2,815. When I got home, I went out on the patio and pulled weeds/cut down flowers that were "done". After I post this and pay back some comments, I'd like to go out and...

Maybe it just runs in the family.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54819) 12 Feb

Last night, I couldn't sleep. And no, I didn't drink too much coffee...when I have too much on my mind, that just happens sometimes. After tossing, turning, checking on the son, etc. I decided to go to the family tree thing I have...

Did anyone watch the Grammys?

Amber @AmbiePam (112773) • United States 2 Feb

I did not, and I never do. In fact, while I’ve seen the Oscars a couple of occasions in my life, I have never watched the Grammys. I guess if you enjoy some (not all) lip synching, barely their clothing, and political comments...

Bensen32 I can't say I watched it, and I never purposely sat down to watch any of those award shows, but I have caught bits and pieces of different one over the years.

DianneN @DianneN (249199) • United States 2 Feb

Just when I returned to myLot and enjoyed every moment here, I had to pause my activity. I won’t go into the details, but hubs was so very sick. He’s starting to feel better today and well enough to eat something besides...

I did my own forensic analysis of the Minneapolis ICE shooting.

The Horse @TheHorse (234993) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Jan

By now we all know about the shooting of an unarmed woman by an ICE agent in Minneapolis Minnesota. I believe that the perp will get away with a Voluntary Manslaughter conviction, but that's a subject for another post. As I was...

Bensen32 From what you're saying sounds like reasonable thought process. I can't agree or disagree with you since I have not seen the videos. I have heard about it a little. My only reactions are, how do these people have so much time to protest? Don't they have jobs...

A trend I don’t understand.

Amber @AmbiePam (112773) • United States 16 Jan

Are there ever trends/fads you marvel at the fact they became a trend? Because a few years ago K-POP was a thing in certain countries. But it’s been in America too, for awhile now, and my six year old niece is a convert. She wants...

Bensen32 good luck on your search. I never thought about the Salvation Army as having food. I guess due to the few times I have checked one out all they had was like household goods and clothing.

What's for din? January 15th, 2026

April @thislittlepennyearns (66496) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 15 Jan

Today was one of those nonstop running-around days, so by the time we finally made it home, I wanted something fast, hot, and filling. No thinking. No extra steps. Just comfort food and warmth. It’s sitting in the mid-forties...

Bensen32 I hate to admit it, but I often find myself searching for my glasses. I only have to wear them for driving, seeing far so I slide them onto the top of my head and then can't find them till I realize they are on my head.

Trying a Healthier Breakfast Today

Curlann @annierose (21955) • United States 15 Jan
