What do people get wrong about your country?

Amber @AmbiePam (121619) • United States 23 Jun

I was watching videos of Europeans experiencing America for the first time at the World Cup, not clips from the news, but real videos from attendees. One guy said if you go by European news you’d think if you came to America you’d...

Sissy15 To be fair, yes, there is a lot of gun violence here, and it's sad, but it's not like an instant threat. You aren't for sure going to go down by being shot up. Terrible things happen no matter where you go; the issue is that the news sensationalizes all of the...

Never Could do a House

celticeagle @celticeagle (190386) • Boise, Idaho 22 Jun

In my younger years I was a bit envious of those who bought and maintained homes. I would have loved to have had one. I did have nice ones when I was married but always left them to my husband's when I left. Never wanted the...

Sissy15 We have always rented. I can't afford the down payment for a house; we have too much going out, mostly medical bills. Ironically, if we were making what we make now 10 years ago, we would have been able to save up for a down payment, but my husband didn't have...

Do you hand out smiles to others?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (383152) • Rockingham, Australia 16 Jun

MyLotter, Xavier Bage, (@franxav) wrote about how he had smiled at some strangers he had met as he went about his day and how they’re all responded positively. It’s always a nice feeling when people do that. Sometimes it...

Sissy15 I have always been someone who has a resting grumpy face, but I always try to smile at people so I don't come off as unfriendly. I remember a story my mom told me about when my niece was little. She said that they were at a doctor's office, and there was a...

Sissy15 I can't imagine how hard it has to be to never be able to rely on your power. Here in the US, we complain when it goes out for a few hours. I have a backup generator we bought when we were worried about a snowstorm taking out power. Hopefully, you are able to...

Sissy15 I love "The Sound of Music". My son and I enjoy watching it, but my husband never wants to watch it with us. I love musicals in general, though. One of my favorite musicals is "Singin' in the Rain". There's something about a good musical that can put you in a...

What does this weather do to your hair?

Amber @AmbiePam (121619) • United States 18 Jun

I have naturally curly hair, and this humidity makes my hair frizz something awful. It took me awhile to find something to keep my curls from looking like I have a cotton ball on my head. What does your current weather do to...

Sissy15 I have what I call hybrid hair. It's a mix of straight and curly hair thanks to my mom's curly hair and my dad's straight hair. My hair has waves and curls at the ends when it's long, but the humidity makes it difficult to tame. I have never been someone who...

Did You See Where the Presidents Got Together...?

celticeagle @celticeagle (190386) • Boise, Idaho 20 Jun

The living presidents got together and had some things to say. There were the Clinton's, The Bushes, the Obamas, and the Bidens. Nice looking group. (Didn't care for Bushes) But they remind us of a time when ethics, honesty,...

It was a nice surprise!

Amber @AmbiePam (121619) • United States 21 Jun

So I showed up a little early, and beat my sister and her family to church today (they lived 2 1/2 hours away and wanted to surprise my dad on Father’s Day). I wanted to be there first so I could see the look on my dad’s face when...

Sissy15 That's super sweet, I'm glad your dad was able to have you all there. It's always great when you can have the family together. My brother and I keep saying we are going to do that for my dad, but as of yet, nothing has come of it, because we are so busy.

......And Now He Can't Even Stay Awake

celticeagle @celticeagle (190386) • Boise, Idaho 19 Jun

Someone here on Mylot made the comment that I really needed to quit "hating on Trump". Sure government is not the way it is all because of Trump. That is not even my biggest beef with the creep. No, no, no. My dislike of this joke...

Who was right?

Amber @AmbiePam (121619) • United States 20 Jun

A video went viral this week, and some of you may have seen it on the news. A young dad had his two little girls with him, but no other female. They had to use the restroom. He waited until the women’s restroom was empty, and took...

Sissy15 I saw this video too, and it baffles me why some people think it's OK to act like that. I would much rather a man bring his girls into the women's room than take them into the men's room. I remember when I was a kid, my dad did have to take me into the men's...

Guess Who's a Scientology

celticeagle @celticeagle (190386) • Boise, Idaho 21 Jun

I keep learning of more and more actors who turn out to be Scientologists. Most already know Tom Cruise is besties with the head of this cult, David Maskavidge. John Travolta sadly is a member also. Kristy Alley too. The gal who...

Sissy15 There were a lot of them, sadly, but that said, I don't think Scientology necessarily makes them all terrible people; I think it's a pretty mixed bag. I feel like it depends on how deep they're in it, like Tom. Tom seems like a fairly crappy human. John, I...

Found out his name.

Amber @AmbiePam (121619) • United States 21 Jun

Sissy15 I hope it goes well for you. I always hated the whole dating thing prior to meeting my husband. I am socially awkward, so dating was almost a nightmare for me. I am also terrible at telling if someone is interested. I literally had a 70-year-old man hit on me...

Sissy15 It's interesting they'll be making a movie of it. I think my main issue with a lot of Trump supporters is that he can literally do anything, and they'll back him up, and that's concerning. It's not even strictly their beliefs. I do have some...

Sissy15 Sounds like a fun trip. I myself am not a fan of chocolate or rum. I imagine it was beautiful, though it's interesting that some places I don't personally want to travel to for various reasons are often some of the most beautiful.

Sissy15 It's interesting how people come up with different ideas to make their life a little easier/better. I have always used frozen juice boxes to keep my son's lunches cold for field trips since everything has to be disposable.

It was so ugly.
