Good evening myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (128298) • United States 6h

Hello everyone. I hope your day went well. It is 46 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 66. I woke up around 10pm. The seroquel did its job. After I also took the other 2 medicines for the muscle...

Marie Coyle I made dinner and purposely fixed some extra as it’s time to replenish my homemade TV dinners in the freezer. There was only one left. We ate and I portioned them out and now they are in the freezer. Did a gazillion dishes. Isn’t that exciting?

Why Am I Hearing Hammering At 9 PM?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (82) • United States 8h

It’s 9 pm. It’s pitch black dark outside thanks to daylight savings time. We should really be called daylight ceiling time.. I just heard two rounds of hammering. Why would someone be hanging pictures or otherwise hammering at...

Marie Coyle My neighbors are mostly fairly quiet, with the exception of the lady commonly referred to by most as “the loud lady that plays loud rap music “” and one fellow who does live across from me and drives. Big motorcycle. He comes home about midnight from work, but...

It is gray and cloudy

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (170882) • United States 12h

Fall is here, and we, along with about four other counties, are under a tornado warning. A tornado is possible. Wind is calm looking out my window, but that is no guarantee at all. The weather is making me sleepy, tired, and...

That is a huge drop in scam calls from hitting over a hundred for a few days. I keep blocking so soon they won't have any numbers they can use. We took George horse a bale of hay this afternoon. Except for that...

Marie Coyle If I do get scam calls, it's maybe 5...but today, I got 9. I deleted and blocked them all. If I had as many as you do, I would probably throw away the phone!

What is your favorite fast food burger?

John Roberts @JohnRoberts (108869) • Los Angeles, California 15h

Okay, we all know fast food is completely unhealthy and quality has diminished. That is why I have not partaken of fast food in several years. Not to mention prices are not so inexpensive anymore. There was a time when a quick...

Marie Coyle The quality and prices of fast food seems to me to be so crazy and not even worth the effort. I honestly would rather go home and eat if at all possible. The only fast food around my area that I even like is Culver’s, and no, it’s not cheap. They do have the...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 65 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. I have a window open to get some fresh air in. Work was easy enough today--I just showed an Amoeba Sisters video and gave a...

Marie Coyle Nothing exciting here. I have to go out a bit later and pick up some prescriptions. I need to get gas as well. I have some chicken cooking in the crockpot. So at least I have a head start on dinner.

Michael @Wrexxo (10586) 2 Nov

it's 7:14 a.m, and I'm still in my bed,. The air feels warm already, about 24 degrees celcius, and the forecast says 23 for the low, 34 for the high. So yeah, it's going to be a hot one. The kind of day where the sun can really...

Marie Coyle The huge obstacle of almost no access to power at your home is hard, it would be for anyone. Yes, I have to agree that some things go up in price just about every time we even blink! Could you possibly get another power bank or two, and then you could go...

Severe Weather Coming

Amber @AmbiePam (132319) • United States 16h

I almost wrote severe weather was a’comin, but that sounds too dramatic. We are looking also at a low threat of tornadoes, and all that makes me hope is just that the electricity does not go out. Of course, a tree through the roof...

Marie Coyle The home health aid would no doubt be a huge help for him, as well as a physical therapist. Often the therapists can give some helpful ideas about getting around safely, getting up and down, etc. And the home health aide can be a huge help with everyday needs....

What Am I Doing For Fun Today? Waiting

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (92661) • United States 17h

Happy Monday and Happy November! Today I'm playing the waiting game. My son is coming to replace the toilet in my primary bathroom. The quick fix from the other day didn't work so it's just easier if he replaces the whole...

Marie Coyle At least it will be fixed at last, and you won't have to worry about it anymore. Hey, at least at the end of the waiting, you will get to see your son, that's good! Have a good day, Marilyn.

Ghost in the machine?

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (52227) • St. Catharines, Ontario 21h

Boy, did I miss this.

Amber @AmbiePam (132319) • United States 1 Nov

What did I miss? I missed that big fluffy “pillow with arms” that gives support to your neck, back, and arms. The cruise was incredible, and I slept fine, but if you’re sitting up in your stateroom, talking to your niece (your...

The Bull Is Tamed

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (142127) • Marion, Ohio 1 Nov

Marie Coyle Your fur kiddos are keeping you warm, that's sweet. The skeleton looks great with the black bull. Fudge or chocolate cream pie? I thought maybe you would go out looking for any Halloween candy that might be on sale! But those sound like great treats!

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (52227) • St. Catharines, Ontario 21 Sep

Ontario’s minimum wage will rise 35 cents from $17.60 to $17.95 an hour on Oct. 1. I remember when minimum wage was a measely $1 an hour. Back then (1969) I'd have to work two 8-hour shifts to make almost that much, but it was...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (128298) • United States 1 Nov

Marie Coyle Being the caregiver for a parent is the hardest thing. Most often it seems to put the parent in the child's roll, and the adult children in the parental role. I know you said your mother can be difficult, and it would not be easy at all. If you were closer,...
