laser_vision Hope you get the job. Sounds tough. As for me, I did laundry, moved garbage cans, slept, did some sewing, and sawed some wood. I probably should fill out more job applications myself.

The Journey…

Aanshi Raghava @Aansh13 (11315) • New Delhi, India 11 Jul 23

“Roads were made for journeys and not destination.” That's what I always tell myself when I hop on my bike and hit the road. I love the feeling of freedom, adventure and discovery that comes with riding on different roads. I...

laser_vision I love exploring the world via bike and taking things slowly. Unfortunately people expect me to be places fast, so I have to drive my car to destinations and be at them on time.

Do you have Same Password for all your social Networking Websites?

Raj @Butterfingers (66585) • India 11 Jul 23

It's not a good thing but I have observed that many users prefer to have the same password for their different social networking websites and even for their other websites that include earning websites etc. It's a risky thing...

laser_vision Nope. Every password I have is different, and has more letters, numbers and special characters than your password.

No celebration, but a delicious dinner

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41022) • United States 4 Jul 23

Dale and I cooked a fish stew (not sure what kind, but not catfish) and it was so good. I fried corn bread to go with it and I think, I hope we have enough left for dinner tomorrow. Not sure what time we'll get home tomorrow...

laser_vision Unfortunately I am allergic to fish, so no stew for me. Glad you enjoyed it though. I pray that your surgery goes well, and sorry you have to go through that. Surgeries and kidney stones are both no fun. Ouch.

Do you like to sew?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41022) • United States 4 Jul 23

I know we have a lot of crafters here on myLot. Who was it that used to make such gorgeous quilts? In years past I crocheted for a while, made a purse and a few things, then later knitted some winter scarves, but I'd have to...

Did you do anything stupid yesterday? Or: A lesson learned.

The Horse @TheHorse (211968) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Jul 23

The photo is of the old Scott tube amplifier that drives my bedroom stereo system. Yesterday I noticed that a channel was out, and sprayed all of the knobs and switches with contact cleaner. At one point, I sprayed a bit high and...

Oak disease identification?

laser_vision @laser_vision (56) • United States 30 Jun 23

I have been out trimming my family’s coast live oaks, reducing fire danger and drying wood for projects. Unfortunately, one of our biggest trees seems to be not doing well. It looks like either the heartwood of this huge branch...

One chainsaw too short (conclusion to the oak tree)

laser_vision @laser_vision (56) • United States 11 Jul 23

That would be my father’s chainsaw, which is too short to saw the very large oak branch that has fallen in our backyard. Get the saw too close to the nose, it will kickback into you, says my father, who investigated the resulting...

Turmeric

Always smiling @allknowing (132070) • India 6 Jul 23

There is a process to prepare powder from turmeric rhizomes. Once a year the plants are pulled out - they will be mostly dead by then. They are then washed and boiled, cut into tiny pieces and dried in the sun for a few...

laser_vision Turmeric has numerous health benefits and effects. It prevents cancer and can contribute to infertility at a high enough dosage. I have tried it on yellow squash before with pepper, and the combination made my stomach a little sick. It is not for me right...

Actually was able to see fireworks at the house this year

laser_vision @laser_vision (56) • United States 5 Jul 23

I’m not good at photographing them, but I was actually able to see a few when my brother and me were out cooking hamburgers on the grill. Most of the time, our house is too far out in the woods to see any, especially any of...

Raj @Butterfingers (66585) • India 5 Jul 23

laser_vision I have a vented sleep shirt that is very soft and two pairs of sleep pants, one for hot nights and one for cold, since I sleep by myself. Whether I remember to change into them before falling asleep depends on the day.

Short story: Zen koan. What is the sound of a snail crawling across sand, to itself?

laser_vision We have plenty of snails around here. They come out after a rain and one would be best to avoid stepping on them. Sometimes when the water recedes, they can get stuck on concrete surfaces or on the side of the house, retreating into their shells until they can...

Would you work for a year for 14 dollars?

Diana @dya80dya (35542) 1 Jul 23

There are some sites where you play games and you earn $14 per year. I wonder if it's worth it. Some people spent three years with such sites. They were disappointed. I know that every cent is important, but it's too much time...

laser_vision @dya80dya Perhaps you would need to evaluate how well such an offer adds up in your current economic situation. For me, it's definitely not worth it. $14 is enough to buy me orange juice and lettuce where I live, definitely not enough to pay the bills.
