Do You Ever Wonder....?

celticeagle @celticeagle (194653) • Boise, Idaho 6 Oct

Life tends to go on doesn't it? I have known several people in my life that moved away and I wonder to this day how they are, if they are still alive and so forth. I often wonder too if our friendship meant as much to them as it...

ElicBxn Oh, yeah. I met a gal in college. Now, I'm kind of an odd bird (as if my friends didn't already know that) and I'm a terrible communicator. Now, at 72 I wish I knew where she was and how her life turned out. I have a lot to share since I vanished months...

What is your favorite dish at a Chinese restaurant?

snowy @snowy22315 (213514) • United States 2 Jul

When I go for Chinese I usually get Chicken with Cashew nuts. I love the way the dish tastes and every place has it. If I don't get that, I will get Kung Pao chicken. I have had other things but I never like them as well as those...

ElicBxn I have trouble with Chinese food because of my corn allergy. The dumpling and egg roll wrappers are dusted with corn starch to keep them from sticking together. The reason so many dishes are shiny is the corn starch they use to keep the sauce sticking to the...

32 Dollars

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (141164) • Marion, Ohio 26 Jun

That's how much I got paid today. And then I spent 15.50 of it. But for that I got these pretties. The potted flowers were a quarter each. The 2 rose bushes in the back were only 3.50 each. I had been trying to get some of those...

ElicBxn The flowers look beautiful! I would kill them since I do have a black thumb. That really helped a friend when I helped her with some kind of sticker bush. She had been out there for several years trying to kill it. Last year I went out and she did most of...

Book Review: The Saint Meets His Match by Leslie Charteris

Victor Frankenstein @VictorFrankenstein (341) • United Kingdom 12 Jun

I'm slowly reading all the classic “Saint” books in order. It's been a while since I read the last one, because I only recently acquired the next in the series. I save money by buying job lots of books and selling on the...

ElicBxn I knew most of the old mystery movies in the 30s and 40s were based on books. Honestly I kind of didn't want to do with the movies I saw on afternoons as a young'un that had been done to me with Sherlock Holmes. I know the leads in Charley Chan and Mr. Moto...

People Asking How Many songs he wrote

Go Crossbones @crossbones27 (54012) • Mojave, California 28 May

That's a bit disrespectful, like he has been holding out. If you understand this guy at all he never writes for money and if he was holding out, it was for his family. Homiie looks good, sounds good. You get worried sometimes, in...

ElicBxn Are you talking about Ozzy Osbourne? He didn't live to 130, he was 76, he just looked like he was 130. I can't say I'm a big fan of the man, but he did a lot of stuff. I heard all the cr... bad stuff he was said to have done... back in the day. I didn't...

ElicBxn Welcome back. I've been here for 19 years, but wasn't really here when it was sold and earnings were discontinued. I guess the new owners discovered people were here for the money. There had been another paid place, but it paid too much and basically went...

Well, I managed to clean the kitchen, somewhat.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (86737) • Daytona Beach, Florida 26 Dec

I reclaimed stove space, finished a box of pop tarts and made several trips to the curb. So far the trash truck hasn't come, but the recycle has. Qhile I don't mind the steps, my legs feel it. And, I'm sitting down to write this...

ElicBxn I guess I'm really out of the loop. If I were to say I had reclaimed stove space, I would be cleaning the range from those guys who were here for like three and a half months. I was trying to stir something, reached into the utensil drawer where clean...

WOW! Too Much Noise!

DE @DaddyEvil (179147) • United States 20 Dec

Do you know any interrupters?

The Horse @TheHorse (240657) • Walnut Creek, California 18 Nov

We have a new "hay boss" in the Lessons area. She is young (25) and enthusiastic, but she is an interrupter. The other day a bunch of us were talking when the subject of Walter White came up. She said I'd make a good Walter White...

ElicBxn Most interrupters are know-it-alls. And they are no fun. However, I think those people who finish your sentences are worse. They have already decided what you are going to say and know they are going to say as well. And often they are wrong. And sometimes...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (170736) • United States 13 Nov

When my student is not well or did not sleep well he stays home. Sometimes I check in to substitute, today I came home and took a leave day. I have requested to be replaced, for several reasons. The first one is that the student...

Giving Yourself a Shot

Amber @AmbiePam (130773) • United States 29 Oct

Can you give yourself a shot? Needles don’t bother me, and when I was about 14, over the counter migraine meds quit working on me (I’ve had migraines since I was 8). So, at the time, insurance covered migraine shots. I was too...

ElicBxn I probably got more steps than a normal day for me, because it was trash day. I have been doing PT for my back and I got a notification that I was only allowed 8 instead of 10 visits. very small, sad chuckle Friday will be visit 6. Is it helping?...

This Cracked Me Up...

celticeagle @celticeagle (194653) • Boise, Idaho 14 Oct

Our only female cat, Whiskers, is a little (probably 4-6 pounds) tuxedo cat. She is a rather odd animal and is pretty feisty. Earlier I heard my daughter yelling at her from the window. We have a new dog in the complex. A medium...

ElicBxn I brought home a little cat, turned out she was in labor. Turned out the kitten was too big for her to deliver so her rescuer (me) also had to pay for her c-section/spay the day after I brought her in. She was a terrible mother. When her son was 4...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (128053) • United States 14 Sep 25

ElicBxn Well, it is just after 3 p.m. - that would be 4 your time - and it is 96º. Which is better than 103º. Up until the end of August we have had a remarkably cool summer, but then we started tipping over those 100º marks. The last time I was in New Jersey it...

ElicBxn Cats! Okay, a feral cat/kitten would immediately dash off. Even a tame cat/kitten would do it if it hadn't been being comforted. All those cat lovers amongst us can hope is the baby will be safe.

New Animal Art and Notes

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3580) • United States 20 Jul 24

ElicBxn I was given by a friend a picture that the title is actually "Watching too much Lion King." It is a giraffe unicorn. The picture, this being the original, I don't think there are any prints, it is done by a fan artist who was going by the name Panda.

ElicBxn Me too! Since my back has been so bad I can barely do anything. I save up my spoons for Wednesdays and I have had a few times I barely have enough to finish. I’m sure the cats appreciate it.

Does MyLot seem quiet to you?

The Horse @TheHorse (240657) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Jan 25

It seems that MyLot has been quiet for the past few days. Have you noticed this? I see Hot Discussions, or whatever they're called, with less than 20 comments. I hope we are not fading into oblivion. Have you gathered the email...

ElicBxn I admit that I'm not real good at looking for discussions to respond to. Yes I do post discussion myself, but I've been kind of in the 'short attention span theater' lately. Oh, and since the 3rd it can be hard to respond to discussions with a sprained...
