Does this image remind you of a dolphin?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (362767) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Sep

The photo is Vince’s. It immediately makes me think of a dolphin with its sleek lines. However, the ‘tail’ seems to be off-kilter. I don’t know what sort of plane it is and I’m not going to ask as I’d have to listen to a...

Melanie Marie I think it looks like a sh^rk with a big shark fin! And the front windows are the eyes and nose and then that line going across the bottom is the mouth. If you open it up you will see giant pointy shark teeth.

By the Light of the Silvery Moon

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (88880) • Daytona Beach, Florida 2 Sep

A particularly enjoyable and lovely song came out in 1909 called “By the Light of the Silvery Moon.”It was performed onstage by Lillian Lorraine in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1909 and became one of the series of Tin Pan Alley songs...

An update on my vertical garden

Judy Evans @JudyEv (362767) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Aug

The area where I live in Western Australia has had above average rainfall for the last two months. Maybe that has contributed to how well my vertical garden is doing. The little violas plants are all doing well and have quite a...

Melanie Marie ^ This is a brilliant idea. They all have their own little homes. And it looks so pretty too, you can grow all kinds of different flowers and plants and not run out of room. I love it.

Duck Tape vs. Duct Tape

Jim Bauer @porwest (107426) • United States 25 Aug

I remember back in my early days of writing, which I started doing when I was 8 years old for whatever reason, that at some point I found a magazine called Writer's Digest and finally convinced my parents to get me a subscription...

snowy @snowy22315 (195926) • United States 25 Aug

I have a specialist appointment tomorrow which I am a bit worried about, but it sounds like it is more of an intake than anything else so should be OK. They had two times 10 and 3 and since I hate rushing around in the morning...

Equine & Kaleidoscope Art

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3383) • United States 25 Aug

Dear all, Here is one of my latest designs. It's actually made from recycled elements (in this case, I mean elements I used in separate previous works.) It's not lazy to use these elements in new ways. I really had fun with the...

Purest thing in the world

Lotus @elmer0421 (455) 25 Aug

I would say little children ..They are purest thing. My 4-year-old niece taught me things like the value of peace….One time I remember when I taught her to assemble a Lego, she told me “Don’t get angry..Don’t be noisy…” Indeed,...

Melanie Marie I don’t think children are innocent at all. And they’re loud. (Maybe not your niece.) I would say the purest thing in the whole world would be…… Seedlings. :)

Two Problems Left

Melanie Marie I agree. And the title of your discussion takes me back to one of my favorite songs. At least you don’t have 99 problems, right?

This seems odd.

Amber @AmbiePam (102834) • United States 25 Aug

My stepmom (aged 71, in good shape) takes three hour naps. I mentioned this a couple of years ago, and the majority of Mylotters said some people just need different amounts of sleep. If my dad is home during the day, he’ll take a...

Melanie Marie It sounds about right to me, but I take 5-6 hour naps and I think it’s pretty safe to say in a 24-hr period, I spend more hours asleep than awake. But my doctor says it’s because my mind needs the sleep to “help process things” I don’t know, maybe he’s...

Welcome September

Anna @LadyDuck (483300) • Italy 1 Sep 22

Face Blindness: Are YOU?!?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140939) • Philippines 14 Aug

If someone doesn't recognize you right away, they may defend themselves by claiming that they're "bad with faces." This means that they have trouble recalling and recognizing someone's face. You may assume that they are merely...

We were chasing the sun

Judy Evans @JudyEv (362767) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Jul

Are Discussions Dead at MyLot?

vikingswest @Vikingswest1 (7453) • United States 6 Aug

I'm noticing that discussions are missing here. It's a great place to share thoughts, get and give advice and to get to know others from around the world. Yet, there are very few discussions. Rarely will a post draw back and...

Melanie Marie Coffee with heavy whipping cream. Half regular/half decaf. Anything more and things get kinda wild. And I don’t touch tea. Tea makes me super-wild. I love caffeine but I need to be careful with it.

Getting Into Ooga Chaka

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (88880) • Daytona Beach, Florida 7 Aug

Now don’t get excited; this is not some new language, nor have I flipped my lid. If you remember way back when, a band called Blue Swede took a pretty decent song sung by B.J. Thomas and started off a new version with the added...

Melanie Marie I do know this song! But not because I’ve heard it on the radio… my Dad used to walk around and sing it when I was little. I always thought he made it up himself. Thanks for the memory Good song
