Thelma I had also a lot of pretty handkerchiefs before. Now, I use tissues. It’s very hygienic and I don’t have to wash them.

Do you remember when it wasn't a tragedy not to have a phone with you?

snowy @snowy22315 (204615) • United States 20h

Now a days walking out and going somewhere especially somewhere far away, without your phone seems like a tragedy. If for some reason you have forgotten to bring it, aren't you kicking yourself all the time you are gone? I know I...

Remember the Snuggie?

Amber @AmbiePam (115355) • United States 17 Mar

Do you guys remember the Snuggie (a blanket with sleeves). My grandma bought one for me, and it really came in handy during the winter. I still remember the Snuggie infomercials. I don’t think I’ve ever purchased anything from an...

Thelma I have that gifted by my son years ago when we were still living in Ireland. It really helped a lot to keep me warm. Now, it is hiding in the wardrobe. Not use anymore as it’s not so cold here in our flat.

Jehanne @Jehanne (172) 17 Mar

Don't you hate it when you think of a good mylot discussion and forget it?

snowy @snowy22315 (204615) • United States 17 Mar

I was lying in bed last night, and thought of a discussion I really wanted to write today. I have never seen one like it, and thought it would be good. Naturally though I forgot it in the morning. I have been pretty busy today, so...

Have you ever invited someone you know to Mylot?

Amber @AmbiePam (115355) • United States 17 Mar

I have only invited one person to Mylot. My family and friends know OF it, but I never asked anyone to join except for one friend. I like that I can write about what’s going on without someone from my life being aware. It’s kind...

Mashed Potatoes

Amber @AmbiePam (115355) • United States 17 Mar

I know, I know. It’s a weird post. But when I asked in a previous discussion what you are picky about, @Deepizzaguy responded that he’s picky about his mashed potatoes. That rang a childhood bell, and I thought about when my...
