Jimlos Tatooth @Ineeddentures (8857) 20h

This is Yvonnes Idea of a Small piece of Cake Omg I mean it was only a couple of hours ago we ate quite a big dinner. And a few minutes ago Yvonne asked if I would like a piece of cake Naturally I said yes And this is what she...

Max Crisp A fruit cake with icing on? I thought you’d stick to a Dundee cake, being a proud Scotsman! They tend to be heavy, so I’m not sure if 244 grams is a large piece. Sounds like it though.

Another great day at the pool

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (123498) • United States 21h

I did a solid 3.5 hour shift. There were just 3 of us there (plus the lifeguard) for almost 2 hours before a few others showed up. So very strange for a holiday weekend. Maybe everyone went to the beach. The water felt chilly...

Max Crisp Is the book about cooking, or is it used as an idiom? Something for me to think about. It’s good you rescued a bee, they are precious creatures, so good on you. Why would you get kicked out if it stung you? Was the lifeguard worried you might...

Sunny Songs: Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Crying

Four Walls @FourWalls (76345) • United States 6 Jul

When I started this list, as with most of the countdowns, I’m sure there were a few song titles that went through your mind. Hopefully today’s sunny song is one of those. There are some songs that are obvious inclusions on lists,...

Max Crisp I think I’ve got about five in mind, but this wasn’t one of them. A song about a heart being broken. Yes, easy to tell someone to move on, but overnight is a bit quick. The Streets do a similar song about heartbreak, called Dry Your Eyes. It was #1 here in the...

I Broke My Own Rule

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (37) • United States 22h

My rule is to ALWAYS check the receipt before I leave the store to make sure all discounts were applied and all prices look correct, etc. But yesterday, at my favorite Walgreens, I presented a coupon for a $10 reward on a future...

Max Crisp Isn’t that always the way? You check 99 receipts and they are fine. The one you don’t check isn’t. As it’s $10, if the store isn’t far away, I would go back and try to get the credit.

What Vaccines Do You Need When You're Over 50?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (37) • United States 5 Jul

I think about this a lot. I try to maintain good records of which vaccines I've had and when so I don't get confused. My mother-in-law was about to get some twice because the pharmacist recommended them at her age and she'd...

Max Crisp I’ve had most of those. In the UK, they don’t give out the covid jabs now unless your over 75 or with a weakened immune system. Although I’ve had shingles, I got the jab last year as over 65. Used to be 70, I think, but they reduced it. The UK follows the...

What will he give up next?

Fleur @Fleura (31967) • United Kingdom 5 Jul

As I’ve mentioned before, my partner gave up alcohol quite a while ago – it must be 5 or 6 years ago already. He tried for a month, and although he used to be quite a keen drinker before, he said he didn’t miss it and was quite...

7/4/25 - Meals

LindaOH @LindaOHio (193668) • United States 5 Jul

So what did you end up doing for the 4th? I was hoping someone would call; but it was very quiet until the fireworks started. The guy next door must have spent a gzillion dollars on fireworks because he set them off nonstop for...

Max Crisp We don’t celebrate the 5th of July here in the UK, so no fireworks. It’s amazing how much money is wasted on fireworks. We have them on 5th November, to remember the gunpowder plot, and at New Year, plus the days leading up to those days. I can’t remember...

Look at me up in the middle of the night

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (123498) • United States 5 Jul

Max Crisp I’d love to get an 8 hours undisturbed night’s sleep, but rarely do, and I don’t nap. I was awake around the same time (UK time), so I missed you by about 5 hours. Who is Darwin? I only know Charles Darwin, and I don’t see how he allows you to go to the...

Carrot Cake.

rakski @rakski (142268) • Philippines 4 Jul

Anyone for Snakes and Ladders?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (357667) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Jul

We stopped for a coffee in one of the small towns we went through and came across this table in an outside area. Someone has made a Snakes and Ladders board using mosaic chips. Of course, you ‘d need a dice to play a game but...

Max Crisp I couldn’t play this game because they’ve got the snakes the wrong way round. You slide down from the head to tail, not tail to head. How disappointing!

Max Crisp I’ve never heard of rice pudding made this way. My grandmother used to make hers in the oven. We used to fight over the skin that formed on the top. I just buy the tinned version now. Ambrosia - delicious.

Max Crisp Welcome to myLot. What is the age difference? It just sounds like an excuse. Find yourself an older guy, as young guys are immature.

Earth's day getting shorter and shorter quickly?

MeMoneyAndLove @abhi_bangal (6647) • Ahmednagar, India 1 Jul

We just had the longest day of the year - June 21. The shortest day is yet to come - December 21. This is usually what happens each year in the northern hemisphere. But that's not probably going to be the case this time. Our...

Max Crisp I like blueberries. I like them as they are with a bit of cream on. I like to use them when doing overnight oats. And I love blueberry muffins. That’s probably my favourite way of having them.

Steve Martin is Immensely Talented

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (37) • United States 2 Jul

When I first saw Steve Martin he was just a Comedian. He was on Saturday Night Live. Then he got into comedic acting in films like The Jerk. That was in the 1970's. He was funny, sure, but a little over-the-top for my...

Max Crisp I’m sure you’ve got lots of admirers but I only know of your ex and Smokey MacSmokeface. I doubt it’s the latter, so I’m guessing it’s the former. If it turns out to be a gal, then I don’t know what to think?
