Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - I agree that Trump is a terrible man, and I feel helpless to do anything. I continue to vote to support Democrats, and I donate money to some of their campaigns. However, I feel helpless to change anything, and I feel resentful towards people I...

Back in September 2019, long-term member @DeborahDiane wrote about Kiva and how she donates to this charity. Because of her post I donated $25 to a lady in Nicaragua. Others loaned to the same lady and that loan has now been paid...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck and @JudyEv - It really is a nice coincidence that you wrote about Kiva today. Yes, Anna and I chatted about it just the other day. I have also continued to reloan the money and the last time I looked I had donated over $600, although most of it 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...

Deborah-Diane @Fleura - It was an incredible cruise. I need to made a few more posts about it. Since I returned, I have also moved to a different part of California, so I have been very busy. I'll try to get back to writing more, again.

When I took my South Pacific cruise, the ship stopped first in a couple of the Hawaiian Islands. While we were on Oahu, I took a tour of Pearl Harbor. I had been to see the Arizona Memorial in the past, but not the rest of Pearl...

Deborah-Diane @Fleura - Yes, I think we all need to occasionally visit a war memorial, just as a reminder of how awful war really is. We forget too easily the pain that others have suffered.

I previously posted about the chestnuts I gathered, and @LadyDuck suggested vermicelles, a dessert also known as Mont Blanc. So yesterday, with a little bit of help from our Italian lodgers, we made some; this is the result. We...

Deborah-Diane @JudyEv - Oh, my goodness! I have eaten fried crickets once, but grubs in an apple might have been hard to accept!

Deborah-Diane @Fleura - What an interesting dessert! To be honest, it looks a little like a bowl of worms with whipped cream on top. However, I'm sure it was delicious. I'm sure that most of our foods looked a little weird to the first person who tried them! I remember...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - Everyone is afraid of Trump. He threatens any Republican who dares to defy him, or even disagree with him. So, they let him do whatever he wants, even though he is breaking a number of laws. He just tore down the East Wing of the White House and...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - Trump is not supposed to be able to do all the things he is doing. Many of his actions, like his tariffs, are directly against the Constitution, which says that only Congress has the right to impose a tariff. It is awful to watch what is...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - Every day, the stories coming from our government become more ridiculous and insane. I really feel like we are living in the days of those crazy Roman Emperors who did whatever they wanted. I don't even know anymore which things to get mad about,...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - I'm starting to think that our entire administration is made up of fools. On Saturday, our Vice President J.D. Vance went to Camp Pendleton in Southern California to watch them do "war games," which included shooting live military ammunition over...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - Yes, Trump is a fool. He makes promises and then he does not keep them. He says he is going to do one thing, and then he immediately changes his mind. He makes no sense sometimes. He made a Tweet about how the signs in the "No Kings" rallies were...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - It is sad to watch a strong, independent, smart and healthy man end up in his final years as someone who is weak, dependent and confused. It made me so sad to watch it happening. My husband wanted me to take him places and take care of things...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - You are smart not to let your husband go anywhere alone. When my husband got lost going to our dentist's office, which only required two turns to find, I knew he should not go anywhere alone, but he kept insisting that he wanted to drive. When he...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - I had a wonderful time with my daughter in Eureka, along with her husband and my two grandchildren who are in their early 20s. We walked around a nearby Victorian style town that was built in the 1800s, went out for Mexican food, sushi and other...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - I'm glad you remember the post I wrote about Kiva. I like helping people around the world with their small businesses. It is a way to help others in a very small, easy way. I also like keeping two pairs of my glasses on hand. I also keep an old...
