Good evening I'm so happy to see how many old members are still here and that many of you remember me. I've always been grateful for the support I've received here, but the pressure I felt in real life was so exhausting that I had...

An Inadvertent Deal at Ollie's

Jim Bauer @porwest (109244) • United States 11 Oct

Saving money is something I do quite on purpose. What's a dollar worth? Well, I always think of money in terms of an average wage. Let's say it's $15 an hour. That means $1 is worth 4 minutes. I always ask myself, if I am willing...

Jeff Moffitt I've never broken it down in terms of minutes or seconds, but I do break it down in terms of hours of work. Whenever I am parting with my money, I will calculate how many hours of work it took to equal what I am shelling out. It really does help you put...

A supermoon at Baladjie, Western Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364012) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Oct

We free-camped two nights at Baladjie Rock which is in the eastern wheatbelt of Western Australia. It’s not far from one small town but quite isolated from anywhere else. There was a supermoon last night. We climbed partway up the...

Jeff Moffitt Our eastern coastline is experiencing King Tides right now, which are unusually high tides that cause severe coastal flooding due to the super moon.

Is the Jump in Gold Price Really That Impressive?

Jim Bauer @porwest (109244) • United States 11 Oct

The short answer is no. It is not. Sure, you can go by the idea that had you bought one ounce of gold in 1980, you'd have paid $600 for it, and now it's worth $4,000 or more. Nice gain, right? Not really when you keep in mind...

Jeff Moffitt I’ve never been a fan of investing in precious metal. Like you said, it’s more for safety than investing. But great information to pass on to the public at large.

snowy @snowy22315 (197434) • United States 11 Oct

Sneaking in the fall festival today before the weather gets too dreary. That coastal low should be coming in towards late afternoon early evening time frame. Actually a friend of mine had invited a couple of us to go to the book...

What's for breakfast on this sunny and cool Friday morning?

The Horse @TheHorse (231397) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Oct

So far, I have had some cold Tom Kha Gai, some cold rice, and a cup of coffee. But I am frying up some sourdough bread, and will top it with some blue cheese dressing and some (deli) roast beef. I am still suffering from "Arby's...

Jeff Moffitt It's been cloudy and windy the past two days here in north Florida, they keep telling us a cold front is coming through, but our daily highs don't look any lower than normal. Mid-80s every day. Not complaining at all, because I'll take any temp as long as it...

Jeff Moffitt I went tailgating before the college football game between Florida and Texas, and was extremely surprised (and excited) that the Gators actually beat the Longhorns. We were huge underdogs. I was glad I actually went to the game instead of selling my ticket.

Is East Saint Louis a Lost Cause?

Jim Bauer @porwest (109244) • United States 5 Oct

Every once in a while, I have to drive through East Saint Louis, such as yesterday on my way to Apex Recycling to turn in my aluminum cans for cash. I got $68, by the way, for that. But every time I drive through there, I find...

Jeff Moffitt Wasn't East St. Louis a lost cause going all the way back to the 80s? Wasn't that the location where the Griswold's got their tires stolen and their car graffitied in the movie Vacation? When I was in college, one of my best friends was from St. Louis, and he...

Getting ready for bed in the olden days

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364012) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Oct

Time for another wax figure from the Westonia Museum in Western Australia. This lady is doing her hair prior to going to bed. Doesn’t she look real? The dressing table had a lovely set of candlesticks, trinket boxes, hair brush,...

Jeff Moffitt She's brushing her hair before bed? Won't her hair get all messed up/tangled up while she sleeps? Wax museums are fun. I've been to a few in my life, but we don't have any in my city or close by. But if I come across one when I'm traveling, I usually will...

Mystery myLotters

Jim Bauer @porwest (109244) • United States 5 Oct

Many of us here remain a bit of a mystery. Perhaps, in some ways, that adds a level of intrigue? And of course, some of it is because even though we have a bit of an online presence, we still want to cling onto some sense of...

Jeff Moffitt I am very curious to know what some myLotters look like, especially after I've had the chance to get to know them here over time. I don't have any issue sharing pictures of myself.

A funny sign in Westonia, Western Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364012) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Oct

I found a funny notice in the Westonia Museum and thought I’d share it with you. At one point in the museum, you could enter a dark room that looked like part of an underground mine. When you pressed a button, two miners started...

We went to a very noisy concert

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364012) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Oct

We’ve just got back from an outdoor concert at Mangowine Homestead in Western Australia. The group, Rising Sun, played a tribute to Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel. While they were well received, they were too loud for it to be...

If You're Saving, You're Losing Money—Probably

Jim Bauer @porwest (109244) • United States 4 Oct

Tell Me Something Funny

A Penny for Your Thoughts

Jim Bauer @porwest (109244) • United States 3 Oct
