A treat for me

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (50320) • Staten Island, New York 22 Mar

I bought Irish soda bread from Trader Joe’s this week. I’ve actually never seen it sold there. I usually buy it at the supermarket. I have to say it’s pretty good. I enjoy it with butter and cheese. Sometimes I may add...

Going back...or...?

Stacey @xstitcher (38359) • Petaluma, California 22 Mar

There are two rideshare services that I can think of in my area--at least, two that I've used; Uber, and Lyft. I started using Lyft first years ago. I used Uber once, and didn't find the drivers very friendly, so I switched to...

Gas prices hit $5.49/gallon in the Bay Area.

The Horse @TheHorse (235919) • Walnut Creek, California 22 Mar

Gas prices continue to climb in the San Francisco Bay Area as the war in the Middle East rages on. Are gas prices still increasing where you live? My commute to work is only a couple of miles each way, so I will not be affected...

Lovely Day

TaxiLady @Ghostlady (2259) • United States 22 Mar

Nice warm day to do laundry and watch the "Kids" play. Had 6 Squirrels today. Last night we had the Ribeye steaks, and had quite a bit left over, so Tom took Red Potatoes, Onion, Carrots, and left over Gravy from Friday night....

April We were in your neck of the woods yesterday. I forgot how crazy that part of the state got during spring break. We were planning on going back for my birthday in a couple weeks, but I don't want anything else to do with PCB during spring break time.

Good evening, myLot!

Stacey @xstitcher (38359) • Petaluma, California 22 Mar

I did some reading, tried to start a letter, watched some TV. Not a super productive evening. Tomorrow, though, I'll be pretty busy at work. I'm toying with the idea of going to the store and grabbing something...

Coming This Week

Amber @AmbiePam (116032) • United States 22 Mar

It’s a beautiful day at 86 degrees, but that doesn’t matter to me. My migraine is now completely gone. I am so unbelievably thankful too. I got a great nap, and Sadie seems less annoyed with me. She’s normally a sympathetic dog,...

April Please tell the doctor all about whatever is bugging you health wise. You are a national treasure, there can't be anything wrong with you. Also, Rebel does that too when I barely move and it disturbs her. She just glares at me for a long time.

Good afternoon. I've been quite busy as of late. George is hanging out, sitting on the porch and enjoying the sun. We've been kinda relaxed. I've cashed out and made some nice ammount of money. Not as much as I'd want to have...

April I got a pretty good freelance gig at the end of last week and did two high dollar freelance projects one paid yesterday and one today. Which is good because I have meds to pick up and as you know the last big of the month is always harder than the start. lol

Do you have a nice shopping mall where you live?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (56331) 22 Mar

I live in a bedroom community to a nearby city. It's handy, not that far, and the cost of living where I live is a lot less than living in the city, which is absolutely fine with me. We have a really nice shopping mall. It's not...

Pressure Pushing Down on Me

Amber @AmbiePam (116032) • United States 22 Mar

What is it, that when you need it, you can never find?

Amber @AmbiePam (116032) • United States 20 Mar

For me, it’s a pen. I needed one today, and for the life of me, I couldn’t find one for the longest time. Of course, I came across it hours later when I wasn’t looking at all. Is there something you just can never find when you...

What’s the accent you most enjoy hearing?

Amber @AmbiePam (116032) • United States 20 Mar

There are some accents (when speaking English) I love hearing. And there is one I actually don’t like, but I’m not going to say it even though no one currently on Mylot is from that country. So is there an accent you enjoy...

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (83655) • Daytona Beach, Florida 20 Mar

Amber @AmbiePam (116032) • United States 20 Mar

Do you have a hard time finding certain things?

Amber @AmbiePam (116032) • United States 20 Mar

For me, it’s shoes. I’m 5’11, so my feet aren’t small. I mean, I’m not big foot, but not every website or store carries my size. That being said, it was worse when I was younger because 30 years ago, you had to REALLY search to...

Are there any products you use solely because your parents did?

Amber @AmbiePam (116032) • United States 19 Mar

Growing up, my mom used Tide to do the laundry. When I moved out, I automatically used Tide. I never even considered any other laundry detergent. My sister will only eat Del Monte green beans because that’s the kind my mom bought...

April I think my grandma (who raised me) used All most of the time. But I remember it was usually whatever was cheaper. I am an off brand person most of the time, but I will not get off brand soda unless I absoloutely have to.

Mashed Potatoes

Amber @AmbiePam (116032) • United States 17 Mar

I know, I know. It’s a weird post. But when I asked in a previous discussion what you are picky about, @Deepizzaguy responded that he’s picky about his mashed potatoes. That rang a childhood bell, and I thought about when my...

April If I make them with red potatoes I keep skins on. Must to the disdain of everyone else. The kids like the recipe passed down from Chris grandma but it uses nothing but potato and coffee creamer and I don’t like that.
