Ugh it is rough out there

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126090) • United States 25 Jan

I woke up from my nap and decided to go clear off the car again. It isn't snowing at this point. We are at the freezing rain stage right now. In any case the road hasn't been plowed so I had a tough time even getting to my little...

Max Crisp You need somewhere to garage the car, or at least get it under cover. I have my car in a garage and watch ‘shaking my head’ at those who leave their car exposed to the elements whilst keeping tat dry in their garage.

Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126090) • United States 26 Jan

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 24F degrees and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The snow is over but the cold temperature is still here. I hate this weather. I'm up early after a...

Has Anybody Tried Avocado Toast?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (66) • United States 26 Jan

It seems to be all the rage. I don't like avocados, so I haven't tried it. But I'm seeing it on several menus in local restaurants, so it must be a good combination. Have you had avocado toast? Did you like it?

Max Crisp I love that but without the avocado. Lashing of real butter is my preferred topping. If I am feeling particularly carefree, then some marmalade too. Delicious

2025’s “Top” Ten Losses: Gary England (#7)

Four Walls @FourWalls (82375) • United States 25 Jan

My latest problem

Fleur @Fleura (33615) • United Kingdom 22 Jan

This is the problem I have to deal with now. And I admit I am a bit stumped. Basically the flush mechanism in the toilet has worn out. This is easily fixed by simply replacing the thing, and if it was a ‘normal’ free-standing...

Max Crisp You haven’t showed the inside of the cistern, so I can’t see the the gubbins!? Do you really need to remove the cistern? Modern toilet systems normally have like a bayonet type flush syphon that you can replace with ease. If it hasn’t and you have to get...

Max Crisp Good Morning from the miserable UK. Wow that’s cold! It about 5C here (41F), so relatively balmy. I’m currently watching a cookery show called “James Martin’s Saturday Morning”. Have you heard of him? He also has guest chefs on every week. Today...

What a Difference a Few Years and Vaccinations Make!

Four Walls @FourWalls (82375) • United States 22 Jan

Max Crisp Sounds like you are getting through it. Like you, the 1st time I had Covid it was bad and I felt like I was dying. 2nd time it was just mild. I’ve had all the vaccines, but now they just give them to the over 75’s, or those who are vulnerable. I’m neither so I...

Max Crisp Sorry to read you’re down in the dumps. Winter is a difficult time to get through. Good thing is that it’s only temporary and Spring will be here soon. The lady getting shot in the face shocked us in the UK too.

Found a quarter

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48763) • Staten Island, New York 17 Jan

I was going to the bank earlier this week and on my way there I found a quarter lying on the ground. Decided to pick it up even though there were some people around. If I wouldn’t have done so someone else would have taken it,...

Max Crisp The saying goes: “See a penny, pick it up, then all day, you’ll have good luck” Last time I tried to pick up a coin, it was glued to the ground, so I just ignore them now.

Max Crisp Don’t take naps, they are for babies and old people. I occasionally “rest my eyes” in the afternoon, but I’m allowed because I’m old. Today is just a normal Monday here in the UK. No additional days off for those who work until Easter. April...

Max Crisp Weetabix is expensive, so I eat the cheaper brands. Nice with milk and a little bit sugar on or a cut up ripe banana. These days I normally eat porridge or overnight oats. Very healthy

Not a Good Start to the Week

Four Walls @FourWalls (82375) • United States 18 Jan

Hello! This is NOT where I planned on myLotting this evening. I’m in the emergency room. The Covid test was positive. I suppose that’s good because that saves them from looking for a lot of different things. I don’t know...

Max Crisp I wondered, with all the hugs you’ve sent me recently, whether you were suffering from a fever, and now I know. Only joking. I’ve had Covid a couple of times but not had to go to ER. I hope you recover quickly and I’ll be thinking of you....

That Wasn’t How I Planned on the Day Happening!

Four Walls @FourWalls (82375) • United States 15 Jan

This wasn’t much of a day planned…just have lunch, get the oil changed, and go home. That was how I planned it. Well, it didn’t happen that way. I have a new car. It wasn’t a case of getting trapped in a corner with a...

Max Crisp Nice getting a new car. I’m guessing the old one didn’t have the infotainment system, so that will be a nice new addition. I love all the bells and whistles, but reliability is the main thing. I know you do a lot of miles, so I hope it serves you as well as...

Chocolate anyone

Jimlos Tatooth @Ineeddentures (14990) 16 Jan

Max Crisp Dairy milk isn’t classed as chocolate anymore. It’s full of alternative crap, so I don’t buy it. Tony’s chocolate, when it’s on offer is what I buy. Lindor is still a favourite of mine. I got a big box for half-price after Christmas. Delicious

Trump's Secretary of Agriculture says Americans can eat healthily for $3 per meal

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126090) • United States 16 Jan

These people are whack. Truly. Yesterday Brooke Rollins said in an interview that US citizens could feed themselves a healthy meal for just $3. The contents of said meal: "a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla,...

Max Crisp A meal costing only $3 sounds very feasible to me. Of course, this is based on UK prices and I don’t know exactly how they compare. However, by bulk buying and batch cooking, I could get it way below that. It’s not possible to buy a single floret of broccoli...

Do you like chicken soup when you’re sick?

Melanie Marie @Melanie_Marie (2428) • St. Clair, Michigan 19 Nov

That seems to be the “cure all” and go-to when people get sick. I can’t do it. Especially because I don’t like chicken soup even when I’m well. I’m not sick, but I am on a course of antibiotics (not pneumonia this time) but for...
