Socks Anyone?

deleriousinIdaho51 @celticeagle (151747) • Boise, Idaho 19h

I have all kinds of socks. Ankle to midcalf alike. In the winter months, I am extremely fond of them. I have found that two pairs I wore last winter have worn out finally. One has a big hole in the two. This after darning it again...

DB I like those Christmas socks you have displayed. After all, a fireplace isn't just to keep warm. I do reuse and recycle items. Worn out socks make for great cleaning rags.

Do You Like Oysters?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (140091) • United States 3 Dec

An oyster is a saltwater bivalve mollusk that can be eaten either raw or cooked. The oysters that produce pearls, the pearl oysters, are an entirely different type. Any oyster can produce a pearl; but they are not as valuable as...

DB Interesting facts. I have tried oysters before both cooked and raw. They are ok, but I like other seafood items more.

December Buffett Buffet: Banana Republics

Four Walls @FourWalls (58960) • United States 2 Dec

The month of December means colder weather for many here in America, so there’s nothing like Jimmy Buffett music to make you feel like you’re on an island! I’m celebrating the career of the late, great singer/songwriter this...

For December, a Little Buffett Buffet

Four Walls @FourWalls (58960) • United States 30 Nov

Originally I was going to do a countdown of “wanna” songs in December to round out 2023. However, @NJChicaa protested for a Jimmy Buffett countdown. I initially balked because I thought I had “just” done a Buffett...

Four Walls @FourWalls (58960) • United States 27 Nov

Two of my favourite ornaments

Judy Evans @JudyEv (318375) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Dec

A myLot member suggested we share photos of our favourite Christmas ornaments. The pair of ornaments in the photo were both given to me when I was helping with data entry in the archive department of a school. They are examples...

DB Very attractive looking and unique ornaments! The colors are nice. I find my favorite ornaments are the ones handed down to me from my parents or ones bought at a Christmas specialty shop. Not only are they unique but carry special memories too.

A quenda came to dinner

Judy Evans @JudyEv (318375) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Dec

Memories.

Judy Story @jstory07 (130787) • Roseburg, Oregon 8 Dec

Iowa Losers Are Still Winners

Jim Bauer @porwest (70521) • United States 30 Nov

Finding the Money

Jim Bauer @porwest (70521) • United States 7 Dec

Do You Like Fruitcake?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (140091) • United States 6 Dec

This time of year begs for the discussion of the oft-maligned fruitcake. The fruitcake is a cake made with candied or dried fruit, spices and nuts. Depending on tradition, it is sometimes soaked in alcohol. The earliest...

DB I never liked fruitcake. Not a big fruit fan. There is something strange to me seeing all those different colored fruits exposed inside the cake. The alcohol-soaked kind would be tempting, but I still think I'd pass.

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (109230) • Wheat Ridge, Colorado 8 Dec
