Shifting to a new country after marriage

nidhithapa @nidhithapa (11) • United States 30 Nov 15

These two big things in my life happened together. I got married and left my country to move in with my husband. I did not not have any family and friends of my own here. Initially it was damn boring and depressing as I did not...

Chelsea Wow, that is a lot of change all at once, but it seems as if you are heading in the right direction for being more settled and less bored in the US! It's really great that you've made some friends. I've never moved to a new country for someone, but I did move...

Don't Think About It

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126003) • Gainesville, Florida 27 Nov 15

Don't think about what can happen tomorrow. Don't think about what can happen in a month. Don't think about what can happen in a year. Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want...

Chelsea Right now, I want to be at the end of my studying for my finals! Oy. My classes are all online however, so that's very very nice.. I always hated walking from class to class in winter. That alone creates less stress in my life, haha. I hope you finally got to...

Past Thanksgivings

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (90351) • Daytona Beach, Florida 24 Nov 15

I sure miss having Thanksgiving. Latvians in the U.S. of course celebrate but Latvian in Latvia do not celebrate this wonderful holiday. For those of you who will be celebrating I wish you all of the best and a great big...

Chelsea That's so neat you all shared Thanksgiving like that while you were in Brooklyn :) I enjoyed seeing the photo you shared. It's a shame you can't enjoy a similar feast where you are now, but it really is just the idea of sharing a good meal with people you care...

Life changes

Glen @glenniah (1197) • Mandurah, Australia 24 Nov 15

Every day Diesel Dog and I walk in almost the same direction. He has regular little places that he likes to sniff at. Along the way we have met quite a few people in our neighbourhood and have come to know them well especially...

Chelsea Wow, what a sad state of affairs.. it does go to show how things can look one way on the outside, but be very different behind closed doors. It also is reminiscent of a murder mystery too, as a few others have said, which kinda creeps me out. But I hope the...

Lets talk about Aliens

Dan @vladitan (18) • Bulgaria 23 Nov 15

Hello. Yesterday I saw a very interesting object in the sky. It was like a flying triangle with lights on it. So what do you think is this real or it is a secret technology of our government?

Chelsea Could be either one, to me. The government does some wacky things, but I'd never rule out alien life from outer space. Makes you definitely wonder!

Goldfish are Smart!

Connie @connierebel (1557) • United States 23 Nov 15

On Saturday, I got two little fancy goldfish for my aquarium. I like watching fish swim around, but never really thought of them having any brains. However, I realize that these gold fish are actually very smart! I feed them twice...

Chelsea Aww, that's so cute! I can definitely relate to having smart fish. Over the years I've had all kinds and they DO have some personalities, too! Fish are great fun to watch, I should think about getting another one soon, haha. I bet they'll continue to surprise...

Pictures I Didn't Take

peavey @peavey (16936) • United States 23 Nov 15

Sometimes I get a little nostalgic (it's an old age thing) then I start thinking of pictures I wish I or someone had taken. They're in my head, like the old horse named "Jude" who had white whiskers when they finally turned him...

Free Stuffed Animals and other Figures

Wendy @jerzgirl (9360) • United States 23 Nov 15

Someone in town posted an offering of about 20 stuffed toys she used to use to fill in the bare spaces on her Christmas tree. I'm assuming they got a new tree because she wanted to give them away. Meanwhile, I'm putting things...

Chelsea That's so sweet what you're doing for all the grandkids!! Warms my heart up good. I'm sure all of them will love the stuffed animals and things you got them, not to mention the neat heirlooms for the older kiddos. I am absolutely not ready for Christmas,...

Do you family or friend understand you earning online

Kevin @kevin1877uk (36987) 23 Nov 15

Lending a helping hand on MyLot – Spread the cheer and joy around

Ann LeFlore @poehere (15123) • French Polynesia 13 Nov 15

I feel rewarded now for helping a few people on MyLot today. I spent an hour or more in “No Responses” reading all the posts. I commented on the posts and gave a little advice to a few new writers. I left very sweet comments and...

Happy Anniversary, Deer!

Michelle @Ponder243 (197) • United States 23 Nov 15

Before the grammar police pounce, let me say, that is the way I intended to write it. Yesterday was my son and his wife's first anniversary. They went out and had a nice evening out. But the evening didn't end up so great as...

~Thanksgiving Is A Hard Holiday For Him~

Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85292) • Valdosta, Georgia 23 Nov 15

Every year part of me is glad for the special holiday and another part of me is sad for the day. My husband is never happy about the day, he always wants to be alone and not think about the day at all. It makes me sad because it's...

Chelsea I'm very sorry that happened to your husband, it's very difficult losing someone so close on a day meant for family.. however.. I do have to say that seven years is a long time to grieve, and while you can never "get over" the passing of a loved one.. your...

On being a closet non-drinker..

Wendy789 @Drosophila (16569) • Ireland 23 Nov 15

At the beginning of the month, I'd decided to take a break from drinking. It was partly stemmed from one massive Halloween celebration that had me nursing one stinking hangover. I woke up on a Saturday morning still drunk from...

Chelsea It might *feel* like a deception, but you didn't hide not drinking, they just didn't notice.. whether out of obliviousness or not. If you tell them you're not drinking for awhile, would they peer pressure you into drinking? Call you a pansy for not? You have...
