So my cousin has a preschooler and one of her child’s activities in school is coloring. My niece can’t identify colors yet, unlike other kids in her class, and I say that’s fine. Kids learn at their own pace. And it’s not a race!...

dragon54u Maybe she's color blind? Or she could be normal and not interested in colors. Her mom shouldn't worry much. Kids do as they like. I would not color inside the lines at all till first grade when I finally told my mom that it was prettier when I didn't color...

I set my alarm last night for 6:00 a.m. That means I only have a half hour to sleep, as I write this. It was another one of those nights last night. A sleepless night in Silverdale. I did not get up and start cooking, but I kept...

dragon54u I often have the same trouble. I do a couple of things that usually help. Get comfortable, turn off the lights. Take 14 normal breaths then on the 15th, hold it until you first get uncomfortable. Then repeat. I don't know why this works but it does. Go...

Does anyone have a child that has gone astray? Maybe they are struggling with their faith. Maybe they are in a state of rebellion. Maybe they are being swayed by ungodly influences. Whatever the case, don't give up on them. The...

dragon54u I do have a child like that. He has been a heroin addict for 15 years and is now homeless in another city. I pray for him many times a day. I ask God to drive out the demons that he's let into his soul because I do believe drugs let in demons that keep...

dragon54u I have no idea how they do it, either! I have a friend that is constantly busy. She is just a year younger than me (I'm 68) and she never sits down for more than a couple of minutes before she pops up like a jack in a box to do something else. Every day...

dragon54u What a sad thing to discover. I've just logged in after some years away and I remember her well. She was such a kind person. I'm sad for her loved ones and her friends and sad that I won't see her here again but I'm very happy for her to be free of this...

dragon54u Hi there! I don't remember your name but I, too, have been gone for a few years and for some reason thought of myLot this morning. So here I am. It doesn't seem any different from what it was when I last viewed it. It's nice when things stay the same in a...

I have to give my admiration to the Mount Pleasant Fire Department who did their duty to put out a fire in a home on Friday morning. The gender of the dog was not mentioned. It is not known what the cause of the house fire and...

dragon54u What a cute dog! I, too, love to read stories like this. I'm sure his/her humans will be happy that they didn't lose their fur friend. That will make their losses sting a little less, I'm sure.

dragon54u I had to look up what porchetta is. I've never had it but it sounds delicious! Tonight--or this afternoon, when electric is cheaper--I'm making some tortellini with alfredo sauce and chicken. I usually add broccoli but I'm out so there will be a few peas in...

dragon54u I feel blessed for so many reasons and I am so happy that you do, too! I have developed a habit that has made my life happier. Each morning I don't get out of bed until I thank God for at least 3 things. This morning it was for the drop in temperature...

KFC is no newcomer to fattening foods. A few years ago they made a sandwich called the double down which was fried chicken with a sandwich made inside of it. It probably caused heart attacks just by looking at it. Well, they've...

dragon54u @thislittlepennyearns Of course I eat unhealthy things. I love KFC but only have it a couple times a year. I rarely eat away from home, it's a rare treat. However, I see a lot of people here in my apartment complex bringing home sacks from fast food places...

dragon54u No, I would not like this sandwich! Yes, America is fat. There are many reasons but I think your example of this sandwich is definitely one of them although not the sandwich itself. If a person like this abomination it's likely that...

dragon54u I agree. Even after all the stories about how intrusive these devices are, sales are steady. I did not even want a "smart" TV but that was about all I could get when I had to replace my 90's RCA I had to leave when I moved 1800 miles. My brother warned the...
