Is it safe to use Uber or Lyft instead of the taxies that cost about 5 times as much?

Scammers and impostors

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 14 Apr 16

Can anyone explain why anyone would "steal" another's friends list? Somebody did that to me today, and I don't get what they would want, other than agravating my friends. The scammers, I know, can steal people's identities,...

Regression hurts us all!

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 23 Jan 16

Our nation is regressing in the hate-and-fear atmosphere! Last weekend, I was trying to meet with a bunch of people for a product-launch party for Bananawave banana milk, and I could see the location, but construction roadblocks...

When reporters accept lies told by interviewees...

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 28 Dec 15

I'm about to email a reporter who wrote a really excellent story in The Miammi Herald. The problem is, she was lied to repeatedly, and her "facts" have nothing to do with reality! Some journalists will say just about anything,...

Glad Christmas is ending!

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 25 Dec 15

Between the gifts, the cards and all the hubbub, I'm exhausted! Maybe it's because I'm not Christian that I find it a bit much to find nothing but Christmas on TV, the radio, and everywhere I go. I don't mean to be a curmudgeon,...

The Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, has just come to a close. I spent the day in all sorts of prayer and introspection. To all my MyLot friends and acquaintances, I am honestly, sincerely sorry if I have offended or hut you in any...

Over the top, and dangerous!

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 14 Aug 10

OK. I know I promised to stay out of this interest area so I wouldn't be bombarded with ridiculous ignorance, but I can't help it. I just received about the fifth or sixth political call of the day, and this recording really...

A new chapter

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 19 Jun 10

I'm thrilled to announce that I retired last week, after more than four decades as a high school English teacher. I adored it until the over-regimentation and micromanagement that have come into the system took the joy,...

A don't-miss read!

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 4 Apr 10

My friend, Peter Joseph Swanson, has written a number of wonderful books. Most of them are based in the Hollywood of the 1930s, but one stands out particularly, and it has nothing to do with Hollywood. MERLIN'S CHARGE takes a...

To help or not to help?

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 4 Apr 10

I'm very active on a site that's quite similar to this one, and I've met amazing people there. Several are authors, and their books are great joys to me. One, however, presents a problem. M. writes wonderful short stories, and I...

Great way to get rid of bread!

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 26 Mar 10

With Passover approaching, I have to get rid of a couple of loaves of bread, and I'm not all that much of a bread eater. That's why they're in the freezer. Well, I came home from work tired and not in the mood to do much in the...

Which way would death become you?

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 19 Mar 10

Not to be morbid, someone recently pointed out the ironies of some famous people's deaths. For example, Edgar Allen Poe's death was wrapped in mystery when he died after having been found unconscious in the street -- dressed in...

Social Security advice seriously needed, please!

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 7 Mar 10

Increases in the amounts taken out of my paychecks has brought me to the point that I can't pay all the bills any more. That's embarrassing! A friend was advised to go on Social Security, and told that he could collect a reduced...

Finally, some tasks - poor ones!

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 15 Feb 10

There have been no tasks available for a long time. Now a few have arrived, but they're just shills for people to get a quick downline. I really hoped the quality would improve...

on-line shopping

cobrateacher @cobrateacher (8432) • United States 22 Dec 09

Hi, shoppers! I do almost all my shopping on-line, and I usually feel as if I get much better deals than if I went to the mall. I wonder if anyone knows whether these are actually better buys. I do remember to include shipping...
