I Just Can't Wear Flat Shoes Anymore

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (36) • United States 19h

I put on my Clarks sandals yesterday and again today just to run out to lunch and had a terrible time walking in them. That's because they're flat. No arch. No support. It's ironic that I can't wear flat shoes because neither...

It's a party! What would you bring to a mylot party?

snowy @snowy22315 (188525) • United States 29 Apr

This was inspired by @muchtosay about myLot reminding her of a party, and I said yes as well, and everyone is invited. If mylot ever had a real physical party what would you bring? I would bring punch both spiked and regular to...

Locked 'em Up!

Jim Bauer @porwest (99172) • United States 28 Apr

Well, I must say, the camping weekend went fantabulously, aside from some cooler nights and a bit more rain than we would have preferred. But hey, that's camping. Even when you have all the luxuries of home, or most of them, you...

Have you ever seen the Northern Lights?

The Horse @TheHorse (225882) • Walnut Creek, California 28 Apr

Yesterday, a friend of mine described an airplane trip to Ireland where they were engulfed by the Northern Lights. It sounded like a fantastic experience. I have seen the Northern Lights a few times, mostly in Montana. It is an...

Huge books are hard to read

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (46089) • Staten Island, New York 28 Apr

I’m currently reading Melania Trump’s memoir Melania. Since hubby got me the hardcover collector’s edition the size of the book is huge. I think it’s 8.5 x 11. This makes it very uncomfortable to read. I can’t just hold it...

paigea I hope you can get the things you need. I go without some extras, and shop in the bargain area at the grocery store. I could buy new shoes if I needed to, but I'm not going to buy some just for fun.

Suffering the Consequences

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (94392) • Arvada, Colorado 27 Apr

Well, I am not totally sure of the suffering here, but if one buys a house in an HOA and does not follow their rules and regulations, then isn't this what you get? I mean come on and considering they first bought it with an...

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49460) • St. Catharines, Ontario 23 Apr

So, today being warm and sunny and not raining, I worked on garden bed #3. I dug it over and added more soil to raise the bed. This was where I've been planting my potatoes for a few years, and I thought I had dug up all that...

Be careful how you eat and swallow a PSA

snowy @snowy22315 (188525) • United States 24 Apr

Uber May Pull Out of Colorado

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (94392) • Arvada, Colorado 24 Apr

Gee, I hope that doesn't happen because I depend on Ubers to get us round at times. It would be the first time they had pulled out of a state. I think this new law is insane in my opinion all over one woman's wish. Politics...

How would you describe yourself?

Amber @AmbiePam (97673) • United States 24 Apr

Do you think you see yourself as others see you? How do you see yourself? I’m past trying to change anyone’s opinion of me. If someone wants to believe a lie, that’s not my concern. Thankfully, anyone who knows me can usually...

paigea I think you seem like a caring person. I think I am too, but I often think others see me as stand offish. It's partly true, but mainly I'm shy.

My tires are filled with nitrogen

snowy @snowy22315 (188525) • United States 23 Apr

I happened to notice that the tires on the new vehicle were filled with nitrogen. They are Costco tires, which should allow me to get a refill on them. As a matter of fact it has a sticker to bring it in for inflation in a few...

He said he learned he was “old” the hard way.

I don’t count 70 as old, but I do say that is an age to “know better”. My dad will be 70 in June, and yesterday while we were in the Tulsa area (2 and a half hours away) to get medicine not found in my area, my dad also needed to...

paigea I hope he feels better quickly. I'm too old to ski like I used to. At least my knees are too old. But skiing on the easier runs is still paradise. Or, I need to get in better shape. At 70, I can't keep up with the 80 year olds I hike with. I...

What is the cutest thing you have seen upcycled?

snowy @snowy22315 (188525) • United States 21 Apr

I just saw some ideas with old graters that were really cute. You can hang them on the wall and fill them with flowers or hang a kitchen towel from them. They were really nice looking. The thing is that the graters they were using...
