Weird Weather

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (116256) • Marion, Ohio 18h

Now they are saying some areas here might see white crap soon. It won't stick but it's not wanted at all. We are supposed to be close to summer now. I will take some old tablecloths and blankets out today. Then when I feed tonight...

Heather Echola It FEELS chilly here, but it is not that cold. I hope the predictions are wrong, but you are wise to be prepared.

Food Shortage This Time Around

celticeagle @celticeagle (174669) • Boise, Idaho 11h

A couple of years ago, I started getting our groceries every two weeks instead of once a month. It worked much better. But, this month we have been more active than usual, moving our belongings and getting ready for the flooring...

Heather Echola I am glad that the box was available when you needed it. Working hard can stir up an appetite.

Have you Led a Rich Life?

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (94875) • Arvada, Colorado 16h

I just can't get enough of life, though mine hasn't been ideal shall we say, but I have been fortunate to have seen many different places both in this country and a few others. My experiences too have not always been ideal, but I...

Amber @AmbiePam (98345) • United States 10h

While I was gone to my sister’s, a few packages that were surprisingly early were delivered. I no longer have anything remotely expensive sent to my place after the package theft a month or so ago (it gets sent to my dad’s). So I...

Summer has disappeared

Always smiling @allknowing (145989) • India 20h

We did not even get a month to enjoy the summer. Summer food is what one looks forward to and that is why I had prepared that ice cream which has still not hardened and I do not think I am looking forward to eating it as who eats...

Heather Echola Our summer has not really gotten here either, but I eat ice cream and cold dishes year around. I just have a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate along with it.

I hope the photo comes through and shows the foxglove flower that I stuck in a front yard tub. It's opening flowers remind me of orchids. I have seen these flowers growing on the side of the road. I've never grown one or gotten...

What A Day

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (53385) • Canada 20 May

What a day today was. No, not a great day. It was a break-down day, a day to leave me questioning what will happen next. And on top of that, today, which is Tuesday, is actually more like a Monday as yesterday was Victoria Day,...

Heather Echola I really disliked Monday Tuesdays at school as well, as the kids often seemed off kilter. Today is Wednesday and I hope things are all evened out.

Heather Echola Thanks for the recommend. That sure isn't in the spirit of myLot. It is not unusual to like some people more than others, in fact it is easy to find things we dislike, BUT it is also easy to scroll on past.

Heather Echola Must have been one heck of a fall, or you have very brittle bones. I hope it continues to improve. Do whatever the doctors tell you.

Heather Echola It is something that does not appeal to me. Probably because my hands shake, and because I may not see well enough. I keep looking back trying to find out how you broke your arm.

Getting paid to walk.....

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (2008) • United Kingdom 12 May

Oh, if only it were that easy. There are several apps that say that they will pay you for walking, but are they really all they seem.... i am involved in two such sites...... one site runs as long as you have you phone with...

Heather Echola For people who always have their phone with them they might be. I fail at that, though. Put it down here and there. I do not always have pockets. It is just like all the other little sites. If you are on enough of them it is good pocket change.

Home a Little Early

Amber @AmbiePam (98345) • United States 18 May

Well, instead of coming home tomorrow morning I came home this afternoon due to a potential “storm of the decade”. My dad could not care less, but my sister was worried about us getting caught in it. Thus, I am home. It was the...

Heather Echola Even if it is not the "storm of the decade" it is nice not to be traveling in heavy wind and rain. I am glad you are safe and that your dad did not have a hard case of Covid. Like everything else, we begin to build immunities, until it mutates again.
