Canellita's Discussions

MyLot is an excellent pastime

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 26 Oct 12

I have seen quite a lot of discussions over the year addressing the amount of time spent on myLot and asking whether or not it might be a waste of time. In fact, I just responded to one. My feeling on this, and the reason I...

I learned how to wrap a sari last night!

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 23 Sep 12

I went over to my friend's home yesterday for an evening of food, dancing and sari wearing. We had been planning to get together for quite a while and once we finally set a date I very excited. I had been looking forward to this...

How do finger nails grow so quickly?

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 18 Sep 12

My nails are hitting the keys as I type and driving me crazy. It seems like I just cut them not that long ago and they are already too long again. Even at only 1/8 of an inch they are getting in the way. When I was younger long...

Internet connection is now restored!

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 14 Sep 12

I just spent several frustrating days trying to get online and get things done with only spotty access, and one day with absolutely no access at all. What a drag! The new modem arrived right away thankfully, and it took very...

Anyone Watching Season 10 Project Runway?

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 13 Sep 12

Last week when they showed the promos for this week with Tim's comments, you couldn't see who he was talking to. Tonight during the critique we finally found out that his "homage" comment had been said to Ven. I imagined that...

Finally the electricity is back on!

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 1 Sep 12

Two and a half days! The electricity went out at 4:00 am on Wednesday and didn't come back on until last night. The hardest part was not having an Internet connection and not being able to watch TV! Although I have to admit that...

Waiting for Hurricane Isaac

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 28 Aug 12

It's dark out now and the wind has picked up. The rain isn't too bad where I am, but it's no longer safe to be outdoors. We lost electricity earlier, but thankfully it came back on quickly. There are still many hours to go and if...

Eating vegetables is such a big deal

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 22 Aug 12

I don't get why eating vegetables is such a big deal. So many adults have the eating habits of children when it comes to vegetables. There is such a wide variety of food available to us to choose from and vegetables are so healthy...

Enjoying my new rice cooker

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 13 Aug 12

For some time now I have been thinking of buying a rice cooker. I don't cook rice so often that I would use it every day so I wasn't sure I should get it. Recently I purchased a cup meal that was brown rice with edamame and other...

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 9 Aug 12

So many things have happened since I joined myLot and so many changes have occurred in my life leaving me little time for posting or even no access to do so that now that I am back, I could not remember how to start a new...

Taking a break from writing today

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 26 Jan 11

How is everyone doing with their online writing? I have been working so much recently that I have had time for nothing else. It's good to be able to earn money, but my last assignments completely took over my life! I decided to...

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 26 Aug 10

Ok myLotters, what do you think of this: it is the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina on Sunday. I received an email from Associated Content to do a first person account story of where I was for the hurricane, what...

Re-create a new bladder?

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 5 Aug 10

Ok, what I want to know is, how do you re-create something that is new? You can create something new or you can re-create something that exists, but you can't re-create something that is being created. I was listening to the...

Doctor Who Cupcakes

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 4 Aug 10

When I first saw these I was going to come to myLot and send a message to one person in particular who is a big Dr. Who fan and then I decided I would just start a discussion in case anyone else might be interested. I was...

In perfect written English

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 29 Jul 10

I know it's probably quite wicked of me but I just can't resist. I joined this website years ago where you can bid on freelance jobs and there wasn't much of anything there so after a while I forgot about it. Recently I started...

Anyone familiar with ad.ly?

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 29 Jul 10

I just saw a banner on a web page for a program that claims you can make money by allowing ads for products you like to be displayed on your fb and in your Twittter stream. I was thinking of signing up to try it out, but I wanted...

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 16 Jul 10

A man in Texas had just finished mowing his grass when his girlfriend came out to bring him a glass of iced tea and found him face down on the ground. She turned him over and called 911. He was having a heart attack! Lucky thing...

Facebook friend requests

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 12 Jul 10

Ok, let me first start by saying I am not one of those people for whom it is a goal to have thousands of friends. I was reluctant to get on facebook and only did so at the urging of someone who is the program director for an...

I am surprised at how useful Twitter is!

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 10 Jul 10

Ok, so I can't really confirm that using Twitter has created more page views because I do not know how to create a unique url to track where my traffic is coming from, but it seems to be helping and scheduling my tweets with...

What ya doing today?

Canellita @Canellita (12029) • United States 9 Jul 10

Why do people send you text messages during a work day asking you what you are doing? I work from home and at the moment have no outside job so that means I have to work even more than someone who leaves home to work for a wage or...
