IvySaysHi @porwest i dont think its wrong to use some of the money you get back to pay for things you otherwise wouldn't have enough left over after taking care of responsibilities to afford or even to do a little more extra for your responsibilities. It all depends on...

A Post Reminded Me of Something

Jim Bauer @porwest (111532) • United States 26 Sep

Recently, @Looeyville posted about a guy who was arrested for murder and shared his mugshot—a face full of tattoos—and she asked, "How's he going to blend in?" Which of course, he can't. He won't. You may as well paint a...

Trump is Proven Right AGAIN

Jim Bauer @porwest (111532) • United States 7 Apr

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...

Jeff Moffitt @porwest I just recently bought some wool socks from Bass Pro Shop, and they come with a lifetime warranty. It will be interesting to see what they require from me when I take in my old, smelly and worn-out socks in the future to claim the warranty! lol

solxee @sol_cee (38309) • Philippines 10 Oct 23

My mother is a nagger. Growing up, I saw how much she nagged my father, and I told myself I would never be like that. It left such an imprint on me that I promised my younger self that if I ever had a husband, I would never become...

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14096) • Ireland 27 Nov

Fiacre Banks @porwest If I’d been sufficiently quick-witted I’d have assured him that on this the 21st anniversary of my vasectomy, my pole is still in good working order.

A Morning Surprise

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126455) • Gainesville, Florida 15 Nov

A few mornings ago, as I was sitting in my kitchen enjoying a cup of hot coffee, I heard a very loud and distinct cry of a bird of prey. And VERY close. I immediately jumped up, went out the French doors to my back patio, and saw...

Jeff Moffitt @porwest A couple of years ago my son and I were on a backpacking trip and were sleeping in hammocks, when I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of something rummaging around in our camp. I thought maybe it was a raccoon or possum or something, so...

Ending the working day.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (81066) • Daytona Beach, Florida 25 Nov

I need to work on my work-life balance a bit more. That means setting bounderies and knowing away from the apps, games and websites I use to make money. Yes, this includes Mylot. I am not going to vanish, no. I'll be back...

Ah, Screw It

Jim Bauer @porwest (111532) • United States 26 Nov

That's what you just have to say, sometimes. Screw it. I have back issues and have for years now. Something that only gets progressively worse unfortunately. The joys of aging? Or perhaps the pains due from a lifetime of...

Snack of Champions

Jim Bauer @porwest (111532) • United States 2 Nov

Earlier, my wife and I were working on a little project. We wanted to clean behind and around the dryer since lint sometimes builds up and it has been a while. Lo and behold, as things often go, a simple task turned into a chore...

Anna @porwest I remember when I had to remove tons of cheese from a pizza because it was so loaded that you could not even taste what was behind. I know that for Americans more is better.

Shoes -- On or Off?

Deep-Or-Whimsical @DeepOrWhimsical (40) • United States 1 Dec

Do you, as a rule, take off your shoes and leave them outside, by your door, before you enter your home? Or, do you wear your shoes inside? Also, can you share your thoughts about those choices?
