Colene What a beautiful memory! That must be so nice to have so many beautiful memories. I haven't traveled a whole lots, mostly as a kid, because I have half a dozen kids lol. Now that my last two are 8 and 12, I might think about it. I wish I could. My health is...

I have not been very active on MyLot the past couple of years ... my husband was dying, I had lung cancer, and I was overwhelmed. However, March was the one-year anniversary of my husband's death, my cancer is in remission, and I...

Colene That is so pretty! I'm so glad to hear that your cancer is in remission! I'm so sorry to hear about your husband! This is so weird, because I too, am coming back from a couple of years being not active here, as well as, another person I was reading yesterday....

Ugh! An ant that can be anywhere from 0.7 to one inch in size. The length of time you may feel the pain from its sting is where the nickname came from. Up to 24 hours. Not good. A reddish-black ant with large mandibles and a huge...

Colene Congratulations! That is absolutely wonderful! I am so happy for you! I, too, had a spiritual renewal, but quite recently. It feels good, doesn't it? To feel close to God? There are a lot of things that are different with me since 2021, but not all of them...

If you wanna come to America, you better bring something. When I was a kid used to dream about this. Walking down the street famous, I think this is last time it was done. How much respect does one have to be able to do this....

Colene I think I know what you are trying to say. If you are famous, it is dangerous to be in public, right? That's true because famous people have power and money, and most people want that. You live in Mojave? May I ask you what your first language is?

Colene That sounds very good! In the US, we typically eat chicken (hen) eggs, and duck or quail eggs are a delicacy.

Colene I remember reading them when I was a girl, but I don't know if any of my kids have. Perhaps the older ones, but I don't think I've read them many fairytales. I mean, I've read them lots of stories, but not really classic fairytales. l think the way we teach...

Colene Bioengineering is necessary to create enough food to feed our population. Some of it is bad, some of it is good. The label doesn't give specifics, but I hope in the future we will know more about the food that they put on the shelves. It is actually pretty...

Colene Sounds like a good deal! I do remember Dianne. How is it in Walnut Creek? I moved up to San Jose from Southern California, and I love the weather up here. I haven't been to Walnut Creek, but it is fairly close to San Jose, right? Hope you had a great weekend!

Colene I agree with you, but I do think poorer kids are more appreciative of gifts than richer kids. I think a good tradition for children who receive more than others is to take one of their own presents to donate to a child in need, but Father Christmas should...
