Snow in September!

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (88311) • Arvada, Colorado 5 Sep

Never a month goes by in good ol Colorado that there could be snow. I have seen it snow in June if you don't mind. Well, it is close by here, up the mountains right now, but it won't be long..maybe for Halloween. Do you get snow?

J.N.R Dutton About half the year we get snow in Idaho. It's postcard beautiful, but I do get weary of it at times due to frequency.

Cool Fridges

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (88311) • Arvada, Colorado 6 Sep

Did you guys have an unusual color fridge in your childhood home? Ours was just the standard white. And we had to defrost the freezer too. Remember doing that?

J.N.R Dutton I remember my birth mother once had a yellow fridge. I don't know if I'd say it was cool, but certainly memorable for being unusual.

It has been raining for almost one week here non-stop, well, 6 days actually. So I am not able to do laundry for 6 days and I really need to do one soon. Since we are a tropical country, we really do not need a dryer...

Anyone experience this?

Amber @AmbiePam (88825) • United States 4 Sep

So most of you know I get migraines. A few days ago I started to get lightning flashes in my vision. I thought they might be auras (for a migraine), and sure enough yesterday or late the night before I got a migraine. Then my...

J.N.R Dutton I'd suggest getting to E.R., lightning flashes in your vision could be a sign of serious vision threatening problems. Not trying to fear monger but going blind in my right eye (though it was temporary) taught me to be more vigilant with eye care. Better safe...

What is your Favorite Jam or Jelly?

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (88311) • Arvada, Colorado 21 Aug

I also like the Lemon Curd. Oh so tasty! Do you have it on your toast each day? Marmalade perhaps? I love Raspberry too, but the seeds. I can buy the seedless too if I like. What about Gooseberry or Rhubarb? Love those too.

What's for lunch?

snowy @snowy22315 (176707) • United States 27 Aug

J.N.R Dutton I don't eat avocado toast but I knew people when I lived in Cali that loved it. I had a sandwich and cheesy tater tots for lunch, and an apple pie flavored soft drink.

What would make a good weekend?

Amber @AmbiePam (88825) • United States 27 Aug

I’d like to get several Mylotters together at a resort, and just visit. Maybe we’d be at a quaint village and find little shops to marvel at. It would be such a treat!

J.N.R Dutton That sounds like it would be a blast for those who could attend! No idea what would be a good weekend to make it happen though. Seeing as life can get busy and such.

Amber @AmbiePam (88825) • United States 22 Aug

What is the weirdest thing you got in the mail recently? I got a catalogue of edible bugs. It was to “occupant” so it wasn’t to me directly, but it was surprising to get, that’s for sure. I’m just not interested in eating bugs,...

J.N.R Dutton Nothing really, I wouldn't eat bugs either though unless I was literally starving/hard up for food. Just nasty.

AI as a tool in writing?

cutelilbastart @hexeduser22 (7419) • Philippines 24 Jul
