Anne Marie Guyer @LeaPea2417 (39015) • Toccoa, Georgia 12h

I turned on the Roku a couple of weeks ago and flipped through the Free Section and started watching a series called "Extreme Cake Bakers". It is set in the UK and there are a group of expert cake bakers who are hired for...

So Did Any of You Actually Go Out?

celticeagle @celticeagle (182524) • Boise, Idaho 11h

I'm wondering if there is any die hard shoppers out there? Those that brave the brick and mortar to find some good deals on Black Friday. I remember how busy the mall used to get during the holidays. Now I wonder how pathetic it...

When we took visitors to our old farm recently, the owners (my cousin and her husband) were away but they invited us to look over the farm. Behind the shearing shed was a piece of equipment. We had no idea what it was used for....

Anna A very clever idea, the sheep are safer and cleaner there and it's a lot less work for those who have to take care of them.

Anna @snowy22315 - I was reading that Airbus has recalled 6,000 A320 aircraft due to control issues. Boeing also had to recall many aircraft due to security reasons. To be honest I would no feel safe anymore flying.

I DID Find Some Funny Videos...

DE @DaddyEvil (162618) • United States 28 Nov

I was complaining a few days ago that videos that were labeled as "funny" mostly weren't funny to me. I kept looking and found a compilation of 240 cute and mostly funny animated videos. (I've found a few of them are in other...

George made it out.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (80954) • Daytona Beach, Florida 28 Nov

I know it's a little after noon, and we've been up for about two hours. It was too cold for George to go out so he waited a couple hours and is happily sitting in the sun with his soda and his radio playing a cd. Our walker is...

Anna @kaylachan Oh yes, here we have all four seasons. Spring is nice, but I love a lot fall because of the colors.

Well, started off with my new favorite accessory.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (80954) • Daytona Beach, Florida 28 Nov

While George and I were still in bed, my Amazon package was delivered. I ordered a phone case that has Magsafe, but is also a holster clip case for ease of access. I canreach my phone easily enough, as well as keep it attached at...

Anna @kaylachan Let's say earning 20,000 dollars a month, is being rich, you surely do not need that 10 dollars more, but you like to get them.

I really don't like surprise visits. Who is allowed to visit you unannounced?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (51509) 24 Nov

You know doubt know the feeling...you are knee deep in alligators, just struggling to maintain...and the doorbell rings. You ignore it at first, because of various possible factors. You are just out of the shower. You are...

Anna @MarieCoyle - I am glad that she often tells to my husband that she is grateful to him because he was so strict. She understands now that she was growing up wild and it was not good if she wanted to have kids.

Recall on a prescription drug that affects my son.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (51509) 31 Oct

I do try to check out recalls if they are something that we use, or swallow, or whatever. We are living in a strange time...and we have to try to stay informed and sort out in our minds what is important, and what isn't. This is...

Anna @MarieCoyle - We only went to the newsstand to get my husband's magazines. He has developed this habit to buy two words puzzle magazine and one computer magazine every week, so we have this weekly trip to the newsstand.

Why do people panic before a snowstorm?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (51509) 28 Nov

I never did understand this, but I have lived in more areas that do get snow than others that don't. I had to go the pharmacy for son's meds, there is a grocery store next to CVS. I needed to get milk and check out the potatoes...

Anna @LadyDuck (488035) • Italy 22 Oct

Most of myLot members surely know that "trick-or-treating" is a Halloween tradition in which children go door-to-door and recite the phrase to receive candy. This tradition, called "souling", dates back to the...

Anna @MarieCoyle - You are so right about ignorant people. How can they imagine that a young puppy or kitty is potty trained. Do babies come to this world potty trained?

There was nothing left to the imagination, whatsoever.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (51509) 23 Nov

Yesterday, I had one short errand to run and that was all. Got my short list, and off I went. At the store, I quickly shopped for our few needs and headed for the cashier. And that's where the show was. A lady (although I do...

I was aware that Dolly Parton has a line of mixes and things to cook and bake, but had never tried one. I most generally just make whatever I make from scratch, and never use mixes. But my daughter loves anything cinnamon, and she...

Anna @MarieCoyle - I never answer the phone when my husband is driving, he cannot be distracted and I need to tell him step by step where he needs to turn. Answering the phone will put both of us in a dangerous situation.
