The most wanted Christmas gifts?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (38840) 19 Dec

Did you ever wonder what most people truly want for Christmas? No, this isn't about some of us wanting better health for ourselves or a loved one, or a ridiculous list like a trip around the world or a new car, or a new home....

It's a Wrap

Jim Bauer @porwest (92748) • United States 20 Dec

I set up the folding table in the guest bedroom since Dawn wants to start wrapping Christmas gifts. But of course, cats will soon stake claims on anything we want to use as their own territory, just so they can be close and of...

41Combedale He is a beautiful cat so I guess he gets away with every thing anyway! A piece of silver foil rolled into a ball will soon get him off the table and keep him away from the wrapping paper.

Got the new carpet installed

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41780) • United States 22 Feb 23

I'm so pleased to have new carpet. It's a nice shade of gray and goes well with the freshly painted while and pale blue walls. I think we're caught up for the most part with a few remodels. Next on the list is a new couch. We...

41Combedale Changing things around the house is such a good idea, it is better than moving and you get a sense of fresh beginnings which I am sure we all need from time to time. You have lots of caring friends a good husband and prepared meals. Much to praise God for!

Getting on people's nerves

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342277) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Feb 23

Chatting with Sonja Rae about how a person’s small habits can get on your nerves reminds me of a backpacker we had. She worked 7 kms away in the town but stayed with us on and off for quite some time. I think she liked the company...

41Combedale The habits that annoy me are mostly spoken ones. For instance, continually repeating "you know what I mean?" I am irritated too with people ending a sentence on an upturn, as though it is a question, wheereas it really is the end of a sentence and should...

Rana the Bull Terrier - a memory

Always smiling @allknowing (137961) • India 21 Feb 23

After we lost our Dalmatian we decided never more to go for large sized dog as managing them when they fall ill we noticed was very difficult. Despite warnings we went for a Bull Terrier who we were told are ferocious. But Rana...

The reason I don't follow spoken English is

vanny @vandana7 (100638) • India 20 Feb 23

The pronunciations.... And you thought I was deaf. There are many words that we are not familiar with out here. I read them but pronunciation is not something you get while reading. The movies and TV serials rarely use them,...

41Combedale Even English people pronounce things differently, depending on where they live. It isn't a logical language but it has included lots of foreign words over the decades which has added to the problems.

41Combedale I fell on the ice last week. I couldn't get up. I was in my pyjamas and slippers, it was not a good time to step on the snowy verandah. The solution was to row myself backwards on the wet ground until I reached the door. Then my hubby heard me yelling and...

Sunday is Kind of a Day Off

Jim Bauer @porwest (92748) • 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...

UFO shot down near Alaska!

The Horse @TheHorse (220438) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Feb 23

I just read that a UFO was shot down over American skies near Alaska. Had you heard about this? Apparently this object was the size of a car. Not very big. I wonder what it is. I'll attach a link.

41Combedale I notice that they avoid calling it an unidentified flying object anymore. I hope the response that is eventually given will be satisfactory.

Kitty's New Happy Place.

The Horse @TheHorse (220438) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Feb 23

Kitty has claimed my day pack at the foot of my bed as her official kitty bed. She sleeps there during the day, and she sleeps there with me at night. Sometimes she demands a purr fest before she goes to sleep at night. Other...

41Combedale My four cats have basically four different preferences, but they tend to invade one another's territory. Jealousy seems to be the reason as the chosen spots are equally comfortable.

Lazy Sunday

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41780) • United States 13 Mar 22

Let me say up front: I hate daylight savings time. Why can't we just leave it alone? It takes time for me to adjust and since I really like clocks, it takes a while to change them all in my house. But since this is the second...

41Combedale I find the daylight savings a nuisance too. My problem is that my cats do not realise what is happening and they wake me up at cat time every morning for their breakfast. At present this is 7.30 a.m. An hour later or an hour earlier messes up their routine...
