Are Discussions Dead at MyLot?

vikingswest @Vikingswest1 (7376) • United States 6 Aug

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...

MAGAts

vikingswest @Vikingswest1 (7376) • United States 12 Jul

Do you think it's okay to use this term? Do you think that calling names is acceptable for adults? Is insulting 70+ million Americans by using a derogatory term a normal adult behavior? Is openly bashing people for having a...

Rare Thunder Today

vikingswest @Vikingswest1 (7376) • United States 10 Aug 22

It rarely rains during the summer where I live. If it does, it's just a light drizzle and it passes without any real accumulation. It's even more rare that we have thunderstorms. Today, it was both. The rain came down pretty good...

vikingswest @Vikingswest1 (7376) • United States 6 May 22

It could have been years ago when you were young or even yesterday afternoon. I think most everyone has gone out with the intention of getting into mischief at one time. It could be from the simple act or an involved plan, but you...
