I Tried

jaishankar @Shivram59 (48086) • India 17 Mar

Did you ever ask your friends to join mylot?? If you did, what was their response?? I did. At first, they looked interested, or, pretended to be interested, but none of them joined. What was your experience??

Fleur No, I never did actually. I didn't really think it would be their 'thing'.

Do you eat tinned fruit ?

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (9142) • United Kingdom 15 Mar

I buy fruit every week, but i usually buy fresh, it doesn’t really spring to my mind to buy tinned. However about twice a year I will buy tinned pears as it’s something that The Mister will have for a pudding after a meal. Very...

Fleur Very rarely. Big One likes tinned peaches as a treat and I do buy tinned cherries to make Black Forest gateau. And sometimes we buy tinned pineapple too.

Could you grow all your fruit and veg ?

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (9142) • United Kingdom 9 Mar

Just wondering …. If you needed to , do you think that you could grow all the fruit and veggies that you would need to see you through a year ? I think veggies would be easier but it could be done … What veggies would you grow...

Fleur No, absolutely not. As my latest crop fails to grow or gets eaten by slugs or deer or destroyed by aphids or leaf miners or goes to seed because the weather is too dry or doesn't grow because it's too cold I think about the people in 'Little House on the...

What gets you into something?

Amber @AmbiePam (115639) • United States 16 Mar

Nominations or actual awards don’t usually influence what I watch, listen to, or read. Do they you? @NJChicaa has posted a little about the Oscars (which took place last night), which prompted me to look up the results even if I...

Fleur Mostly I just pick up books that look interesting to me, and I guess that is mostly the 'blurb' on the back with some influence of the cover design because that's always made to convey a certain type of content isn't it? (although they say never to judge a...

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (131461) • Marion, Ohio 15 Mar

This is Adelines older brother. To me he is my first grandchild as he was only 2 when we met him. He is almost 11 now. I asked about him a few times over the years but my son always said he didn't know. It's nice to be getting to...

My grumpiness has dissolved in proper coffee.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14394) • Ireland 14 Mar

I had coffee this morning. It was good, doc good that I had another. This is odd because good coffee seems to be just out of reach in cafes, but this one was perfect, so good that I wanted to take the barista home with me. It...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (374991) • Rockingham, Australia 13 Mar

Some results

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (168144) • United States 13 Mar

The doctor's office called with Bob's results. The skull CT shows no new damage, no bleeds, no stroke, etc. so that is good. Much of his blood work is normal. He does have a UTI. They are sending out a general antibiotic while...

Almost Done

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (131461) • Marion, Ohio 12 Mar

In the spare room. I am ready to move the dresser when I want to. Then I can mop the rest of the floor in there. I might get that done on Saturday. Tomorrow is the auction. Except for that I didn't do anything exciting today....

In-house sayings

Judy Evans @JudyEv (374991) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Mar

Having been married for 54 years, we have a few ‘in-house’ jokes/sayings. I’m sure any couples that have been together for a while can relate to this. They talk about the liberation of women which we won’t go into here, but...

Amber @AmbiePam (115639) • United States 12 Mar
