Jeff Moffitt @porwest Exactly. I guess the regular old cold and flu viruses were wiped out by all those Covid vaccines they tried to force on us! LOL

Breaking in the New Truck

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (125952) • 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...

Jeff Moffitt @porwest Hey, I'll take all the gains I can get, even if they are smaller ones. I'm not that greedy.

Sunday is Kind of a Day Off

Jim Bauer @porwest (109441) • United States 12 Feb 23

I don't generally take days off from myLot. It seems like a silly thing to do considering I don't think of what I do on the site being work of course. It's not a job. It's just something fun to waste a little bit of time...

Jeff Moffitt @porwest At any given time, I have more than 100 notifications to get through. But with my busy schedule, I sometimes can only get to about a dozen or so of them at a time. So I am perpetually behind and always trying to catch up.

Vampire Bunny

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (89869) • Daytona Beach, Florida 24 Jun 20

A came across an interesting story about gargoyles. In Newcastle, England above the door of St. Nicholas Cathedral there is a rather odd gargoyle statue. No one knows how or why this vampire rabbit was created but there he is if...

Fish Fry Sunday

Jim Bauer @porwest (109441) • United States 14 Oct

Oh yeah. Fish fry. I meant to post this yesterday, but I guess time got away from me, and then I got sucked into the rabbit hole some people call YouTube. But it was a fish fry night Sunday night, and as it always is, was...

Trout and asparagus for dinner tonight

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (47980) • Staten Island, New York 9 Jul 20

My mom was placing an order from Lidl and asked me if I want some fish. I asked her to order me some trout. That's what I will be making for dinner tonight, along with some asparagus. I think I will just pan fry both. The trout...

Lena Kovadlo @porwest You're missing out on sardines, especially fried or grilled.

What inspires you to write?

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (47980) • Staten Island, New York 19 Nov 15

As writers we can talk about what's going on in the world, in our lives, or the lives of people we know. We can talk about our experiences and the things we have been through. We can educate people about something we know. Or we...

Lena Kovadlo @porwest I don’t remember seeing it. Was it a long time ago? What’s the name?

Is it more important to be honest or kind in difficult situations?

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (65) • United States 16 Oct

Obviously the answer is a combination of both would be ideal, but if you could only choose one, which would it be? Case in point: Mother-in-law more than likely has dementia. We'll get the test results next week. We've had to...

Well, I Got Laid Off Today

Ali Canary @AliCanary (3416) 8 Oct

I've spent the last eight years at a job I really liked, but I lost it today. My company had started to struggle a lot, lately, and they have been making cuts everywhere they possibly can. But the economy is starting to get really...

Ali Canary @porwest Sir. You have not answered my QUESTIONS. Why should the poor suffer? Why don't the Republicans just do what they need to do to pass the bill, instead of just whining about it? If undocumented immigrants are just living off our system, then why is...

Evian? Really? Is it that Good?

Jim Bauer @porwest (109441) • United States 27 Sep

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 (231459) • 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...

Caffeine - Good or Bad?

Anna @LadyDuck (485106) • Italy 24 Aug 15

Honestly, I have never cared if coffee is good or bad for my health. I like coffee, I drink it since I was a child and I cannot function without my first cup in the morning. For many years, caffeine was supposed not to be good...

A Silver Lining Dressed as a Kitten Named Butch

Jim Bauer @porwest (109441) • United States 14h

There are occasions when I think back to Butch. He was our first "warehouse cat" who we found under our work desk in the warehouse one day back in 2020. He was a kitten. Unfortunately, he was very sick when we found him, although...
