A Busy Week Ahead and Hospitalization

Jim Bauer @porwest (110457) • United States 2 Feb

Well, it looks like it's going to turn into a rather busy week. I have to make some banking trips to get the cash needed for our gambling trip next weekend in Kentucky, plus I do need to grab a few items on my list at Ruler Foods....

Marsha Sorry to hear about your mom. My mom didn't do to well when she had to be in the hospital after she had dementia. It didn't help that by then she was legally blind. So not only could she not see what the nurses were doing she didn't understand. We had to take...

Marsha So the 'lost' before the cities names are part of the names, or just what they are called? There are fb groups here related to our city but many are virtual garage sales. Although on one a lot of people ask questions.

A New Plan

Jim Bauer @porwest (110457) • United States 18 Jan

The fact of the matter is that I blog, and I write articles, and if you have followed me long enough around here on myLot, of course you'd be quite aware that 95% of any my "commentary" has to do with money and politics. It's the...

Marsha I'm not 100% sure but it's possible that crossbones was referring to your image. Although our new president wasn't the one that let the criminals into the country so I'm not sure. I've heard of shorts but I don't really know what they are. Do you have a...

snowy @snowy22315 (198204) • United States 7 Dec

I was at Dollar General today. They had some decent specials going on, but what I really wanted Energizer batteries for 2 dollars off were sold out. Luckily, I did get the 3 for 5.00 Progresso soups. I did not look in the...

I was just reminded why I hate delivery.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (80305) • Daytona Beach, Florida 7 Dec

Don't get me wrong. I'm thankful the service exists. It makes shopping a lot easier. For the past year, I've been relying on walmart for groceries, because I can link my OTC card to my walmart account and use it as a payment...

Marsha I've never used delivery for groceries or anything else. We have shoppers at my store and many deliver. They try to get a hold of customers when items are out of stock but sometime they aren't able to reach the person for some reason.

I won't be having water-hyacinths

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364826) • Rockingham, Australia 16 Oct 24

In this digital age is reading a book becoming an obsolete skill?

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (3668) • India 16 Oct 24

Marsha No. I think a low of people still enjoy reading. I know Amazon still sells a lot of books. As far as getting information, I do think we turn to search engines for a lot of that.

much2say @much2say (57357) • Los Angeles, California 20 Sep 24

My mother in law (MIL) was recently moved to the memory care wing of her ritzy senior living complex. It's not so ritzy there. Her memory issues had been worsening, but still she is very much aware and doing better than many...

Do You Like Game Shows?

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (86707) • United States 10 Oct 24

Turns out I way overpaid for Bounty

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48094) • Staten Island, New York 14 Oct 24

I was low on Bounty paper towels. Looked online and found a 12-roll pack of family size Bounty—which is what I usually get—at $2 off on Amazon. It was $33.49 instead of $35.49. And that’s not counting tax. I couldn’t seem to...
