Just a simple guy with nothing better to do than to waste a little time with my myLot friends. Dabble in some music here and there, and just lead a simple life.

Getting Paid for my Christmas Dinner

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 3 Jan

Okay. Not really. But that's sometimes how my mind kind of works. I own stock in Walmart, and we will have our Christmas party, or gathering, or celebration, or whatever you want to call it, on the 10th of January. That's when...

It's a Clear Goal

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 3 Jan

I guess I should have said "objective," since in past posts I have said I really don't like the word "goal," being that it's a bit inconclusive. Objectives, of course, have real plans behind them. Goals are simply desires we think...

Who Was the Wannabe?

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 3 Jan

So, now of course, Trump's a warmonger Nobel Peace Prize wannabe because he's taken some actions in Venezuela. Just one more notch in the old left's "Trump's a maniac" belt. Let us not forget, former president Barack Obama was...

About That Military Service

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 2 Jan

About Donald Trump's military service which seems to have been brought up a lot lately. This is around his "warrior dividend" of course, which the left will find fault with just like they find fault with pretty much anything Trump...

What a Load of Bologna

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 30 Dec

"Now, that makes me mad." When you read that line, you have to take on the persona and voice the cartoon dog character, Droopy, to get the full effect. I had a few things to get at Walmart today. Luckily, it was a rather...

Twinkle and Dinkle Get Paid

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 29 Dec

At 52 going on 5 I think I am having WAY too much fun with some of this AI stuff, especially with my somewhat twisted imagination. So, the other day, I posted a picture on Facebook with an image of Twinkle and Dinkle, each with a...

Well, Chinese It Would Seem

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 28 Dec

It's Sunday. I don't feel like cooking. To hell with it. We'll have Chinese delivered. Hey, it's always good, and tomorrow I will just have to dive into the stock market to find a way to pay for it as I always do. Boy, the guy...

It's a Load of Hooey

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 28 Dec

All of a sudden I am encountering signs everywhere I go telling me that there is a nationwide penny shortage, and businesses are already rounding or want exact change. Let me be very clear here: [b]there is NO penny shortage...

Is X a Scam?

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 27 Dec

I don't use X all that much. But here's the thing. I have 3,747 followers, so you would think if I posted something there, at least someone who follows me would see my posts. The reality? Hardly anyone sees my posts. I am...

A Boring Christmas?

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 26 Dec

A boring Christmas day? Well, I guess it depends on how one defines that. We have our actual Christmas gathering with the fam, which we will be hosting at our house, on the 10th of January, so yesterday was just a "regular" day...

Merry Christmas myLot

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 25 Dec

It would be wrong of me, of course, to forego the obligatory Merry Christmas post. So, here's mine. Merry Christmas to you and yours here on myLot! We will have our actual get together with the fam on the 10th of January,...

$6.50

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 24 Dec

It turns out my headphones (or monitors as I call them—musicians will know what I mean) went kaput. In fact, it's a kaput I have never seen before. The jack end came off. Literally. Inside an adaptor I was using on another...

Only 997 to Go

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 24 Dec

It was kind of funny to me. The other day my wife asked me how my YouTube channel, Synthetic Echoes, was doing. "I only need 997 more subscribers to even be able to think to have a shot to monetize," I told her. She...

This is When Things Get a Little Crazy

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 23 Dec

Well, here we are again, facing a massive, and I mean massive, jackpot for the Powerball multi-state lottery. It's currently sitting at $1.7 billion. And as things generally go, when it strikes, it's likely going to go to a...

Will it Click? Or I Guess the Better Question is Will They?

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 28 Nov

It's not my first rodeo, as they say, dabbling a bit with YouTube. All said, I have three channels. None of them are monetized, and so far, none of them are "successful." But I also can't say any of them were [i]endeavors of...

Down $25

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 27 Nov

We decided to take a run over to the Casino Queen in East St. Louis and spend an hour or two, just for kicks and grins. It was really dead there, which was great, since there was virtually no competition to get on a machine. I...

Happy Turkey Day Y'All

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 27 Nov

To all those who are actually having their Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day, happy Thanksgiving—happy Thanksgiving to anyone not having a Thanksgiving dinner today as well. We will have our gathering on the 29th, and...

Ah, Screw It

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • 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...

A Little Reggae

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 25 Nov

That's the vibe. Reggae. I suppose, when I wrote this little ditty back in 2005, that's the vibe I was going for. But of course, hearing the original one would not exactly hear a reggae thing, but maybe a sad attempt at some hip...

I Call it Dirty Rice

Jim Bauer @porwest (111884) • United States 25 Nov

It's not really "dirty rice," at least not in the traditional sense, but whatever you might call in "real life," all I can say is that it's good eats, and in the end, whatever it might be named, that's really all that matters,...
