The Old MySpace

StarryCat @StarryCat (25) • United States 2h

I can't help but miss the old version of Myspace, lol. I remember when we could add different backgrounds other than music. I remember the old games that were linked to Myspace. I mean I was not on Myspace constantly at the time....

vikingswest At one time, all of those things could be done here at MyLot too. You could customize your profile, change colors, move the categories and add music. People could post on your page too. I haven't been to Myspace since 2006.

No more putting my winter cap in the jacket's pockets :(

SS @moonandstars (52821) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 15h

I still like wearing winter cap cause, it's cold and my sensitive ears like it. Well, when I enter the store, I have a habit of putting my cap in the jacket actually, its pockets, which are not too wide. I mean, with this...

Kade @akruser13 (52) • Los Angeles, California 18h

I hosted a writer/editor forum once for a few years and we used to do this activity to spark creative writing. One person would post just the beginning of a story and anyone could reply with the next few paragraphs. Then more...

vikingswest That was common here 15 years ago. It became difficult when overlapping comments made it hard to know which storyline to follow. Those discussions were usually deleted by admin for violating guidelines. But like DE said, it's been a long time since I've seen...

Don't thank me for my service

vikingswest Too many feelings running loose these days. If a person serves in the military, they have served their country, regardless of the reason why they chose to serve. That service, even if it wasn't combat, helped in the defense of the country. So, civilians are...

vikingswest Mhmmmmmm. That sounds so good. It's a wet dreary day here and I wish now that I had made chili. I put a pork loin in about an hour ago so it still needs a couple more hours. I haven't figured out yet what to make with it lol.

Proper Introduction

Kade @akruser13 (52) • Los Angeles, California 15 Jan

vikingswest That's really good news on the BS numbers. I hope the am test is good too. The doctor should get back to you if you need to alter insulin amounts. How long will it take for a referral for crying out loud? I wish they would get back to you. I hope you'll hear...

A useful tip for emergencies

Judy Evans @JudyEv (263527) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Jan
