When Is The Best Time To Post On MYLOT?

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 4h

I don't write for writing's sake. I want to be read. In order to be able to read my profound musings, people must be awake and not at work (or only if they can check the latest posts on myLot without the boss noticing it). I live...

A Sight You Have Not Seen Before

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 22 Feb

Please have a close look and tell me what you think the photo shows. I don’t know in which other countries you can find such a sight. I could only find France besides Germany. What I do know, though, is that you can’t find it in...

What Can You Do With A Tin* (BE) / Can (AE) Of Tuna?

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 17 Feb

You can make a tasty salad, of course. You can get tuna with a bit of watery liquid or with a lot of oil. I had a tin with a lot of oil. I took the tuna out with a fork so that some oil would drip off. I put it in a bowl and...

Sahara Sand Over Europe !

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 6 Feb

We haven’t had any snow to speak of in the south of Germany up to now. February is usually a cold winter month, but not this year. An anticipation of spring can even be felt. But we’ve had a rare and rather strange natural...

Difference Between Cows And Ducks (Animal Story 21)

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 3 Feb

You may ask, "What else is new?" Everybody knows that cows are mammals and ducks are birds. Well, yes, indeed, but I don't want to enlighten you on this. What I want to tell is is that one species enjoys winter and snow and the...

Do You Enjoy Snow ?

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 2 Feb

I'm sorry, this question is not for everyone. MyLotters who live in tropical climates and have never seen a snowflake can't answer it. Speaking for myself, I can say that my attitude towards winter weather has changed...

Nuremberg, Germany, Nazi Party Rally Grounds

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 28 Jan

Contrary to what many foreigners think Nürnberg (Nuremberg) is not only its Nazi past, but this is certainly part of its heritage. One way of dealing with it has been the construction of the Documentation Centre Nazi Party Rally...

I’m Not Losing It --- I’ve Lost It Already.

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 27 Jan

I’m retired and don’t have to follow a timetable. I belong to the species “Late-to-bed / Late out of bed’. This means that I set the clock even for appointments which are rather late in the morning. Better safe than sorry. This...

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 22 Jan

I've just watched Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, aka Lady Gaga, sing the American national anthem. It was a sight to see her enter the stage in front of the Capitol in an enormous red and black robe (a Schiaparelli...

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 14 Jan

Why do you buy certain books? Are you attracted by well designed covers, by favourable reviews in the media, glowing recommendations from friends? Are you a faithful reader of an author and buy whatever they write? If you buy...

Taking A Snake To School (Animal Story 20)

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 19 Dec

I hope this post will find some readers so that I can fill my coffers. Several members who read my last snake story* mentioned that they couldn’t even look at the photo of the snake. I must confess that I’m not attracted by snakes...

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 26 Nov

It happened in Swinton, a town within the city of Salford in Greater Manchester, England, on September 14th, that a man entered a bus with a large reptile wound round his neck. I'm not an expert when it comes to defining reptiles...

The incident I'm going to tell you about happened in Berlin, the capital of Germany, at the beginning of August. Before we come to the story proper, you should know that 14.5% of the urban area are green. The city has 2.500 parks...

Do You Like Schnaps Numbers?

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 3 Nov

The Guideline Rules tell us not to post “personal milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc.” As far as I know. The ‘etc.’ includes the amount of money we earn here and/or the number of posts we’ve written. So I won’t...

Today Is A Holiday -- Or Is It?

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 31 Oct

Lorries/trucks are not allowed to run on the motorways in Germany on Sundays and holidays. So? Where's the problem? A transport company can certainly keep this in mind and plan the tours of their lorry drivers accordingly (from...

Would You Wear This Face Mask ?

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 18 Oct

Vienna, the capital of Austria*, is famous for its black humour. A well-known song praising spring and love, for example, has the title, "Let's poison pidgeons in the park." The latest news coming from there doesn't disappoint....

Send Me To Google And I‘ll Never Read your Posts Again

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 17 Oct

I can‘t say how many posts I‘ve read over the years which show that the writers have a limited world view. For them the place where they live is the navel of the world. They know it well and see no reason to explain anything. I...

M.-L. @MALUSE (64301) • Germany 16 Oct
