Why am I like this?

Toni @toniganzon (77871) • Philippines 9 Jul

My friend is leaving for France in one week's time and it's making me sad. I'm going to miss him. Not that we won't be able to communicate (thank goodness for FaceTime). I didn't tell him I was gonna miss him though. I just...

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (12355) • United Kingdom 8 Jul

There was a debate on tv today asking if there is still a place for a buffet ….. Apparently, a singer got married recently and had a buffet. Shock horror, but there was a queue…..people had to wait …..as these were mainly...

Lumbar Puncture - 5 Days in the Hospital

DE @DaddyEvil (175988) • United States 7 Jul

I just got the call from the nurse who set up the lumbar puncture for the hydrocephalus. I go in on August 24th and will be in the hospital for 5 days. Since I only do myLot on my laptop, that means you won't hear from me after...

Neil That sounds like a lot to prepare for, but it’s good that you have a clear plan and helpful information from the nurse. Five days in the hospital isn’t fun, but hopefully having some good ebooks and knowing what to expect will make it a little easier. It’s...

OK now I am agitated!

snowy @snowy22315 (210951) • United States 7 Jul

This stupid garage..I dropped it off early this morning..and the receptionist just told me they haven't pulled into the garage yet! Say what? That is what these small town garages are like. They have no respect for your time. I...

Neil Ugh, that sounds so frustrating! You’d think having an appointment would mean they’d actually get started on your car in a reasonable time. Small-town garages can be so hit-or-miss with that stuff. It makes sense not wanting to risk the drive to the city, but...

It’s Finally Open

Amber @AmbiePam (123161) • United States 3 Jul

After six years of being closed because they were too cheap to fix the pool equipment, our apartment complex pool is now open. I will be nowhere near it as that is where unsupervised children (which IS against the rules) yell...

Is June a wedding month in your country?

JB_girl @sol_cee (39030) • Philippines 22 Jun

June is known as wedding month, or is it? My friend got married in June and skipped all the wedding fuss - no big celebration, no extravagant spending, just straight to the marriage part. Meanwhile, my aunt, who owns a bridal...

Neil Many get married in this month. Sounds like a wedding month in my country, too. It is not a good idea, though, because it is the rainy season.

Peaches or Nectarine?

snowy @snowy22315 (210951) • United States 26 May

For those that don't know or aren't familiar with the fruit..nectarines in essence are a fuzz less peach. I like peach fuzz better and peaches can be really sweet. I have never had a really sweet nectarine..so another reason to...

My Go-To Place

luisadannointed @luisadannointed (11962) • Philippines 26 May

This is one of my go-to places, McDonald's! When my mom woke up late, I usually ate breakfast at McDonald's; if not, I would take out my burger meal and eat it on the bus on the way to work. Do you also eat fast food for...
