Don't you hate it when you think of a good mylot discussion and forget it?

snowy @snowy22315 (207888) • United States 17 Mar

I was lying in bed last night, and thought of a discussion I really wanted to write today. I have never seen one like it, and thought it would be good. Naturally though I forgot it in the morning. I have been pretty busy today, so...

The Casual Use of Love You

Loretta @noni1959 (12988) • United States 16 Mar

I know this is a strange topic, but there are people I am not close to, who continuously will say "I love you", or one person will say, "you know I love you, so..." and it is very uncomfortable. I'd like to get your take on...

mynameiskate Not a strange subject at all. I'm in the same mindset as you described here. Like any word it can be misused or overused. I've heard foul words being used in a funny way but that is a rarity. It really depends on the person and in what context. If someone is...

Trump is Proven Right AGAIN

Jim Bauer @porwest (112342) • United States 7 Apr 25

Once again, Donald J. Trump shows, he's so far ahead of everyone else in the game, it's almost strange to me that by now, so many people have failed to figure it out. I mean, it wasn't that long ago that Trump threatened to get...

Wonderous blueberries!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44525) • United States 2 Jul

I absolutely adore blueberries. And what could be better than getting them fresh picked this morning from a friend's berry bushes. I had forgotten she had blueberry bushes until she called to see if I wanted some. Dale and I rode...

To All the Cars I've Ever Owned Before

Jim Bauer @porwest (112342) • United States 18 Oct

A lot of us have been around the bend more than a few times—hey, many of us old farts, it is what it is—and so, through our lives we've all probably had our share of cars in the driveway, and it got me to thinking, it might be fun...

mynameiskate What a change of lifestyle over the years, from 1980 two door baby blue Ford to SUV towing package. Have you also looked at a Nissan or Toyota?

What do you think is the proper punishment for "smash and grab" robberies? How about for robberies with a deadly weapon?

The Horse @TheHorse (237903) • Walnut Creek, California 5 Oct

As most of you know, I am a political "moderate." I could never support a political Fascist, but nor do I support violent criminals. You know that I have worked in prisons, and that I have had exposure to criminals, most of them...

mynameiskate I am serious about this topic. Punishment no. A thief that steals an SUV does not want to be caught, the jewels stolen is a paycheck. Give the thief a job. A job is work that enables a person to live. A thief's job heist should never pay as well. Armed...

Social media is an addiction, I'm not joking

Rose nylon @Spatula11 (67) • United States 5 Oct

People can't be without it. It's dangerous. You are pouring out information that you later regret. Worst off they're people you know. And there is AI, at least here it isn't really an option and you have to go somewhere else to...

Sirens

celticeagle @celticeagle (189158) • Boise, Idaho 4 Oct

I am busy watching a very intense episode of a series I'm watching. All of a sudden out of no where I hear sirens. OH, NO THEIR GOING TO GET CAUGHT! After a few moments I realize it's outside on the main drag. Whoa! Have you...

mynameiskate The other way around. The show I watch has sirens in it. Also will get a phone go off or noise in the background that makes me think someone is in my home. Does that happen to you sometimes?

Mystery myLotters

Jim Bauer @porwest (112342) • 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...

Do you think these videos could be real? Are "ICE" agents really throwing petite mothers to the ground in front of their children?

The Horse @TheHorse (237903) • Walnut Creek, California 26 Sep

I am reading some things that are so "over the top," I find them difficult to believe. But I look for signs of AI, or videos used out of context, and I cannot find them. Do you believe "ICE" agents are "arresting" brown people at...

mynameiskate That's a good question. What is real online anymore? Perhaps we at a turning point where accurate news reporting needs to be questioned and checks made for the less reliable. It is not like the newspaper before the internet when the next day there would be a...

Breaking in the New Truck

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (128531) • Gainesville, Florida 19 Sep

My son recently bought a new truck, a Ford Ranger 4-wheel drive that has just about all the upgrades you can get. He pretty much paid as much for his truck as I did for my SuperCrew F-150 many years ago. Pretty crazy how expensive...

Life changes

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44525) • United States 12 Sep

I'm a little old to be realizing this, but nothing in life stays the same. Not health, wealth, or relationships. Sometimes in our early adult years, life gets a little predictable and we don't think about change. They seem to...

Kareng @kareng (80243) • United States 31 Aug

Many churches have been locking their doors during services.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (58368) 28 Aug

And no, not just since yesterday's Minneapolis shooting. I didn't realize it was even going on, but evidently in many churches now, it is. As I have said before, I lived for a time in a small town in southern IL. My best friend...

Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127049) • United States 30 Aug

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 61 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. That is unseasonably cool weather for this area and time of year. The high for today is 80. I was up late and then...

Weed in Cars

Jim Bauer @porwest (112342) • United States 29 Aug

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (52665) • Philippines 25 Aug

mynameiskate Did you ask your aunty why she thought recycling was not the thing to do? Maybe she doesn't care or doesn't believe in it. Depending on what you are recycling it can be a good thing to do or it isn't working. There are a lot of factors. Paper and metals make...
