Exercise equipment from the Dollar Store(?)

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 13 Jun 16

I went to a Dollar Store today to get a birthday card – my son is attending one this afternoon. As I browsed along the store, I saw some exercise bands being sold in the store. These are the elastic types which you could use as...

Do I really need this work done?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 15 Apr 16

A couple of months ago, I went for my regular dental check up, and I was told by my dentist that I needed a dental bridge. She told me how I needed it, and how much it would cost, which was a little over $1,400. Now I have dental...

How do you stop the cravings?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 15 Apr 16

So, it’s been at least a couple of weeks since I’ve started this journey of getting healthy. A few days ago, I’ve also started looking at what I eat. I’m trying to get away from the fast-food, greasy stuff (it’s still a struggle),...

How do you tag kid’s clothing?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 14 Apr 16

I thought I’d used myLot for a practical problem I have at the moment. Maybe I could get some good suggestions from more experienced-parents in here. My son brought home his new Gym shirt today. It is black, with their school...

Paralyzed by fear

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 13 Apr 16

I don’t mean literally not being able to move, but the inability to make decisions, move on, or be happy. The fear of knowing the outcome, and the hopelessness it brings. Of wanting to escape, but unable to. Trying to survive by...

Honor rolls and kid’s rewards

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 12 Apr 16

My son told me tonight that he’s on the school honor roll. He said it in a matter-of-fact way, as if it was no big deal. He says that the school is giving all of them on the list a pizza lunch tomorrow. I also didn’t make such a...

Have you had to justify an impulsive purchase?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 11 Apr 16

So over a year ago, January 2015, I bought a car off of Craigslist. My previous 2004 Honda Civic was totalled in a car accident (long, different story), and my insurance gave me some money to get a replacement car. I saw a 2007...

TLC’s Long Lost Family – can’t get enough!

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 10 Apr 16

So yesterday was the last game for the regular season of the sports team that I follow. It’s been clear since over a month ago that my ‘team’ will not make the playoffs. Today, I’ve been channel surfing to see what’s good on TV. I...

A new perspective on parking

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 8 Apr 16

When I drive up to places, I used to be obsessed with finding the best parking spot. Usually, the closest to the entrance of whatever building I was going to. I would normally circle around the lot a couple of times, just to...

Where did all these fashionable runners come from?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 7 Apr 16

I was feeling a bit down this morning so I went for a run. I live in an area where there’s a lot of health-conscious people so it is normal to bump into people trying to jog/run at any time of the day (even late at night!)....

Get me off this roller coaster!

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 7 Apr 16

There are just days when you get dizzy from everything that’s happening around you. Not only is it going up and down, sometimes it just goes in circles. Sometimes even in the dark! You can’t help but wish that you were someplace...

Can you BS your way out of things?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 6 Apr 16

Sometimes I feel like it’s scary how I can BS myself out of stuff. Not more than 30 minutes ago, I was just in a meeting with my boss talking about my job performance. I’ve been with the company for 2 years, yet I still don’t feel...

The trouble with perfectionists…

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 6 Apr 16

I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Although I wouldn’t say that I am right all the time, it does bother me when I see mistakes not only from other people, but mostly the mistakes that I make. It’s also a bit difficult when you’ve got...

Volunteer, and help others

Two years ago, I switched jobs, and switched industries because I wanted to get into a company that have a great reputation of helping local communities. The company has a great culture of volunteering that we get rewarded (with...

Mechanics and the word ‘trust’

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 4 Apr 16

First off, I would like to apologize to all our mechanic-friends out there. This post is not meant disparage the profession. Just to highlight an observation. I had a banter here with another user (attention: @much2say) recently...

A dog or a Fitbit?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 3 Apr 16

I am not a dog person. Not because I don’t like dogs, but I can’t afford the financial and emotional investment needed to take care of one. But I always hear from dog owners that their dogs keep them healthy, and motivated to be...

Mylot mobile, MyLot on the go

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 1 Apr 16

I’m really glad that there is now a mobile site for myLot. Even though I work from home, and work in front of a computer, I always find myself doing “other” stuff during the day, in-between meetings. I often run around doing...

Two years of deception

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 1 Apr 16

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of the day I started with the current job I have. A job, which until now, I could still say I don’t know much. Previous to this, I was doing something that became “easy”. It didn’t challenge me...

Still waiting to exhale?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 29 Mar 16

I think it's about time to get back into myLot. Not sure though that it's time to exhale just yet. I've been away from this site for more than 5 years, and just trying to get back in. It seems like life is a series of ups and...
