DianneN Wishing him success on his journey. I hope you don’t mind being on your own for two weeks. I would be lonely, more so at night than the day.

2025’s “Top” Ten Losses: Loretta Swit (#5)

Four Walls @FourWalls (82401) • United States 21h

This one hurt me bad, because this was my favorite TV show in the 70s, and to see another actor from it leave us just reminds me how far back it was. No, kids, it wasn’t twice a day on MeTV, it was once a week on Saturday night!...

DianneN We used to watch the show every week. I especially loved her and Alan Alda. Great show.

Remote Controlling

Has this ever happened to you? It is a regular occurrence around here. My husband likes to watch TV shows that I don't care for. He relaxes in his recliner watching one of his shows and pretty soon I'll hear snoring. I look over...

I see new names and only a few of the old ones. Who still remembers me? Thought I’d be a goner for good. But like what I previously wrote in the past, a couple of times, MYLOT will always be a home I’d always return to no matter...

Keychain digital camera anyone? Currently, eyeing this tiny low resolution digital camera that fits in your pocket. At $35 it's an expensive keychain but cheap as a camera. What makes me attracted to this one in particular is...

Autumn walk near Ballylesson.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14146) • Ireland 7 Nov

Light, bright sunshine on a Friday morning in November matches my mood - no work to see to, just rest and the time to savour light, bright autumnal sunshine. There’s little in the air by way of warmth, but climbing up through the...

DianneN Holy moly! Unless it’s a huge emergency, they should have notified everyone much sooner. I’m sure it’s not going to be easy for many to get out and find bottled water. Keep us informed.

Are you an expert in cooking?

May2k8 @May2k8 (19598) • Indonesia 27 Oct

I'm not an expert but at least it still tastes good to eat. Today I was frying tempeh mixed with wheat flour but it was a little burnt because I left for a moment to look for a plate.

DianneN That plate should have been ready for your tempeh. I’m no expert, but sometimes I create some pretty good meals.
