@TheHorse wrote about his sunflower so it seemed timely to put up with iron sculpture of a sort-of sunflower. It’s in the garden of the farm where I grew up which now belongs to my cousin and her husband. I’ve put up a few photos...

vikingswest I haven't planted sunflowers in years. The last few years that I did, I just left them for the birds to eat. Then the squirrels caught on. They would remove the entire head and drag them away. There would be little squirrel fights in the back yard over who got...

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...

vikingswest @sjvg1976 I had a blue star too but because I was involved in debating in discussions, people marked me and others down. The star rating didn't reflect intelligence or meaningful contributions, it was a popularity contest. Several groups (cliques) formed and...

vikingswest @sjvg1976 I hated the star feature. If you responded honestly or disagreed with the OP, they rated you down. If you replied with anything but kitties and rainbows, your star took a hit.

vikingswest @sjvg1976 I think it's still basically the same idea now, just only a fraction of the earnings. We get paid when others interact with us. Others get paid when we interact with them. I don't believe we have ever received earnings for what we post here. Just...

I am VERY embarrassed to say, that it was a very long time (won't say exactly how long), until a couple of weeks ago, that my husband and I did a thing. What is the thing that we did? We pulled the refrigerator out and cleaned the...

vikingswest @LeaPea2417 As soon as Washington went from a red state to a blue state, the taxes went crazy. We have the 2nd highest fuel tax in the US too.

vikingswest @Melanie_Marie The backgrounds were fun. You could change colors too. I wasn't around when that was discontinued. It would be fun to have some of the old features come back.

vikingswest @dgobucks226 It's a great treat. If you warm the topping just a little bit, it makes for a better dip.

vikingswest @abhi_bangal When I bought my home, property taxes were 900 dollars a year. In 2025, they are up to 1300 every six months.

vikingswest @Jenaisle From 2007-2010, I averaged 30 dollars a month here. It didn't take a great deal of effort like it would now. I sometimes take for granted that everyone lives the same way as we do in America. MyLot has educated me in that way. Many cultures are...

We had an interesting display at the city and spent a Sunday afternoon exploring it. It was a house constructed upside down. The furniture on the inside was all on the ceiling and kitchen and bedrooms were all topsy turvy. It was...

vikingswest When I was young, a tornado came past my parents cabin in northern Wisconsin. It passed within a few hundred feet of the road near their property. Power was out, trees were down and branches littered the road. We got the chainsaw out and cleared the road....

For the most part, we make our own pizzas here at home. My son likes to help, and he generally makes his part of the pizza (which is most of the pizza!) and I make mine with my preferred toppings. We both love onions and mushrooms...

Sometimes you just don't expect certain things, and of course, they take you by surprise a little bit. Like when you're dead heading your marigold plants and something moves that shouldn't. I pulled back a bit, not knowing what...

vikingswest That looks like a pretty good sized grasshopper. The best natural pesticides you can get. I was out with the dog early this morning. I hadn't even had coffee yet. I was hoping he'd hurry up so I could get back in and go back to bed. All of the sudden he...

vikingswest @Jenaisle That's definitely a part of it. Although there are members here that would still contribute even if earnings weren't possible. I can only speak for myself but I like the interactions with such a diverse group. I don't use any other social media so...

vikingswest Like you, I make most of my pizza at home. I like some of the store bought brands and the pizza from restaurants, but there's a certain amount of both pride and comfort when you create your own at home. I like garbage pizzas. Sausage and pepperoni with green...

Do you go to bed or have meals at the same times every day? Is your schedule set in stone? When I was working every day, you could have set your clocks by my schedule. I did the same things in the same order every day with very...

vikingswest I have noticed that, compared to even a few years ago, many members have disappeared. Discussions have changed a bit too in that less back and forth takes place. A sign of the times, I guess. I peel toward myself too. I like to peel the apple in one solid...

vikingswest I think you're right. There are not a lot of active members left from earlier days. I think too, that we are falling away from conversations and discussions everywhere, not just here.
