She is family

Toni @toniganzon (72535) • Philippines 24 Feb 19

My brother told me that I should stop treating Danie like a baby so she would act like an adult. But I told him Danie is still a baby! She's just 10 months old! But I'm not the only one treating Danie like a baby, even HE does...

Roller coasters and amusement parks

Brenna @isweartokira (3460) • United States 20 Feb 19

Good morning myLot! Recently I was lucky enough to go to Disney World (and I'm so incredibly grateful!). I hadn't been in so long and I'd forgotten just how magical it was. I love amusement parks, they always make me feel like...

Jeanne Marie Yes, I love amusement parks but not always the rides these days, just the slower ones. I love the atmosphere, the flowers, the food, the shopping and interaction of amusement parks. I live near Kings Island and for six years lived close to Disney World. I...

Jeanne Marie I'm right handed but my mom was a leftie. I think sometimes we do things a bit differently because we were taught by a left handed person.

Jeanne Marie That is so sad to learn. I hope your cat is just exhibiting normal aged behavior and not dementia. Good for you to keep a close watch and taking care of her well.

I Put Him on a Diet Last Week!

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 25 Feb 19

My husband loves food and so do I. He used to be so thin, but blames my good cooking for his weight gain. I blame him for stopping off while out and about and “treating” himself to extra bites of food. He does work out and...

Children are Gifts

Jo Miller @pjmurphy (2499) • United States 19 Feb 19

When my oldest daughter was born I had never paid a great deal of attention to babies, especially to how people dressed them. So I dressed her mainly in those little sleeper things that babies wear. She had a few dresses, but...

Jeanne Marie Oh I love Captain D's. But it's a rare treat to go. I had an unhealthy dinner too, my son cooked up some Brats. I went out and at my book club had an appetizer instead of dinner. Cost just about the same. Pretzels and Beer Cheese. I'm doing better...

Loaded Baked Potato

CarolDM @CarolDM (203422) • Nashville, Tennessee 19 Feb 19

Decided to have a loaded baked potato for dinner. The good part of having these is you can put whatever you want on them. And you have a meal. I like butter, more butter, sour cream, cheese, more cheese, and bacon bits. If I am...

Jeanne Marie Sometimes not allowing the natural consequences to teach a person keeps them feeling entitled. If you called the insurance people and he paid the consequence for his action, the next time someone was gracious to him he might appreciate it and express that.

Sheali @Sheali (7461) • India 12 Feb 19

Jeanne Marie Alice is my favorite Disney Character. She always has been. Did you know there was a real Alice? The story was written for her and was about her. Of course she didn't really go to Wonderland but she was a real person.

Jeanne Marie I tried the Rocket ride in Tomorrowland the last time I was at Disney a couple of years ago. NEVER AGAIN. First there is not a seat in the rocket. That was a shock. You climb in and sit on a board on the floor. It spins around so fast I almost got sick....

Jeanne Marie Sounds nice and relaxing. I wish being a snowbird was my cup of tea. I just never felt settled and after two years made the decision to choose just one place to live. I picked my kids over the best weather ever. Snow today and cold tomorrow is the way it...

Jeanne Marie I like a good homemade apple pie! I usually serve vanilla or coffee ice cream alongside. No whipped cream. I also make it with cinnamon and sugar only. I like it also with walnuts baked in it, but since most don't I rarely do that.
