Please Turn Off The Sun

Anna @LadyDuck (506027) • Italy 5 Aug 17

From Tuesday we are under a heat wave, the worst I ever experienced. Our, usually mild, temperature reached 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 F) today with high humidity. To fight the heat, we went to the lake to have a light lunch on a...

My tallest sunflower is blooming now. OK, it's only about four feet high, and the flower is only about 4" across, but it still makes me smile. I'll attach a picture I took yesterday. Unfortunately,I got all excited and toot the...

A Rainy Greeting

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (57005) • Canada 28 Jul

This morning when I woke it was pouring rain, and very dark. The days are certainly getting shorter the past couple of weeks, and a rainstorm doesn't help any. We are so very dry here, in such a drought, the rain is very welcome...

Anna @LadyDuck (506027) • Italy 22 Oct

Most of myLot members surely know that "trick-or-treating" is a Halloween tradition in which children go door-to-door and recite the phrase to receive candy. This tradition, called "souling", dates back to the...

Today has been a really nervous day for me as I have 2 job interviews lined up. The first one ended very quickly as they require for me to drive and I cannot drive. But still I prepared a lot for the interview. Now waiting for...

Good morning fam

Michael @Wrexxo (4248) 30 Jul

..Good morning from Nigeria. It's 7:36 a.m. here and I'm getting ready for work. I wanted to wake up earlier, but I just couldn't get myself out of bed. I usually get up around 6:30 to check my phone, but today I just ended up...

Baconstripsxxx Good morning, and I hope you have a great day at work! Sometimes getting out of bed is just harder than usual, especially when you've been up and checking your phone early every morning. At least you got a little extra rest today.

I Told You He Was Crooked

kay lar @jaylar (4126) • Kingston, Jamaica 29 Jul

Imagine FIFA selling shares in ithe World Cup. Selling shares to private investors. What? The ties between Gianni Infantino and President Donald Trump are the centre. Thrive Capital, led by Josh Kushner, the brother-in-law of...

Baconstripsxxx The idea of effectively selling a piece of the World Cup to private investors is absolutely extraordinary. The World Cup has always felt like something belonging to the sport, the participating countries, and the fans not something that should be divided up...

Baconstripsxxx That sounds like the perfect improvised dinner! Sometimes a simple plate of crispy fries is exactly what you need, especially after spending the day watering the garden and catching up on the neighborhood gossip. ??

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127534) • United States 30 Jul

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 71 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 78. It doesn't really matter much to me since I'm not going anywhere. I'm glad I...

Baconstripsxxx It sounds like you had another pretty eventful night, even if it started with waking up at 3:30! I had to laugh at the running joke with the nurse. Of course she'd be there on the one night you wake up at the usual time. ??

Baconstripsxxx Six months is a long time to be searching, so I can understand why you're starting to feel discouraged. And having the first interview end almost immediately because of a driving requirement must have been frustrating, especially after you spent so much time...

Who Rides with You?

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (57005) • Canada 29 Jul

As most of you know, the backseat of our SUV is occupied by the two carseats. They've been there for a few years and with the laws the way that they are, they will remain there for a few more years. I try to have things of...

Baconstripsxxx Those little air fresheners sound adorable! I can see why the girls like them, especially if they've given the characters their own names. "L'il Joe" being the ghost because he's all white made me smile.

Too obvious!

Toni @toniganzon (78432) • Philippines 29 Jul

One of our young female staff has been the subject of gossip at work. Why? She is in a "secret" relationship with one of our male staff. They both have their significant others but staff at work noticed something is brewing...

Baconstripsxxx I can understand why the gossip started, especially if their coworkers noticed something was going on and then watched both of them repeatedly deny it. People tend to become even more curious when something seems obvious but everyone involved insists...

snowy @snowy22315 (211513) • United States 29 Jul

Baconstripsxxx I hadn't heard the story behind "trick-or-treat" being connected to souling before. It's fascinating how many Halloween traditions have roots that go back hundreds of years, and the idea of children receiving soul cakes in exchange for prayers and songs is...

I thought it was only the keys.

marguicha @marguicha (230422) • Chile 29 Jul

Hello friends. For a long time (decades in fact) I thought that I had a very especific OCD. It had to do with the keys. Every time I go out, I check several times if I place the keys in my purse before I go out. But as years go...

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (99552) • Daytona Beach, Florida 28 Jul
