Wonderous blueberries!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44148) • 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...

mynameiskate Yes and they are so hard to resist. Fresh wild ones are the best though tiny they have a punch. They don't stay around long.

To All the Cars I've Ever Owned Before

Jim Bauer @porwest (110499) • 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?

Bank error reported (now fixed)

Go Ask Alice / Admin @GoAskAlice (5861) 21 Oct

And while I have your attention, myLot was inaccessible yesterday (Monday) due to problems AWS (Amazon Web Services) experienced which left many sites unable to connect. As soon as someone higher up the foodchain from me gets a...

mynameiskate I like how Mark Wilson (writer for tech radar) described what started as a simple DNS error turns out to be a massive earth quake causing an "outage". Can hardly wait for the next news about a server issue. "Jerry plugged in his EV and it was over the top just...

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

The Horse @TheHorse (231918) • 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...

First Day on MyLot — Kind of Feels Different (in a good way)

Damilola Obalade @Dammy4life (156) 6 Oct

Hey everyone! I just joined MyLot today and honestly, it feels kind of nice to see a place where people still talk instead of just scroll past each other. I miss that about the early internet — when random strangers could actually...

Social media is an addiction, I'm not joking

Rose nylon @Spatula11 (66) • 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 (181272) • 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 (110499) • 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 (231918) • 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 (126074) • 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 (44148) • 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...

Meet Waffles, the Hamster

Kareng @kareng (79658) • United States 31 Aug

Waffles is my granddaughter's hamster. He lives in his cage on a bedside table in her room. Waffles has kept me from falling asleep some nights and has woken me up in the wee hours of the morning since I have been here....

Many churches have been locking their doors during services.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (50347) 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 (125130) • 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 (110499) • United States 29 Aug

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (52550) • 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...

An unexpected find

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364826) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Aug

I thought I’d written about this before but maybe it was on Bubblews. We went to a garage sale a long time ago. It was held to raise funds for a church so there was a great many items there. Vince found a golf bag and clubs which...
