Payment Gives Me New Direction

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 11 May 16

Well, I just received notice I was paid something just under $4 here at myLot. I enjoy being paid, even if it is little money. I enjoy the folks here at myLot. What I don't enjoy are the crude advertisements. So I am not going...

What Obsolete Food Item Do You Truly Miss?

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 9 May 16

I'm afraid there are several food items I miss. If I had a year to think about it, I could probably name 20 or more. But on the spur of the moment, I can still think of a few. Can you? Will you tell us what they were? Sunshine...

Mrs. Miniver

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 8 May 16

I just finished watching (for the first time) the well-acted movie Mrs. Miniver, starring Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, and Dame May Whitty. For all but the last few minutes, I thoroughly enjoyed the acting talent and the concept...

What is Your Favorite Beer?

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 8 May 16

What is your favorite beer? If you say Budweiser, I say you ought to be banned from myLot! I enjoy many varieties of beer. But they need to have a relatively high alcohol content, a good deal of body, and real flavor. No, they...

You Put Peanut Butter on What?!

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 8 May 16

OK. Peanut Butter. Most of us love the stuff. But we love it in differing ways. My mom and I liked it spread on Keebler saltines, topped with a layer of room temperature butter and another saltine. I like it all melty on dark,...

Feel Like You've been Ripped-Off in the Stores Lately?

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 8 May 16

Whether because of the price, the quantity, or the quality, have you recently felt like you've been ripped off in the stores? What was the item? What was the rip-off? Frankly, the problem, at least in my estimate, is a rapidly...

Your Breakfast Toast, English Muffins, and Bagels

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 8 May 16

Let's consider something important to us individually, but not important at all, otherwise. Your morning wheat. How do you like your breakfast toast, English Muffins, and bagels? Lightly-toasted, golden brown, dark and crunchy?...

Oh, the Joys of Getting Less Young!

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 7 May 16

I still find it hard to believe I'm not the kid in a family. But here I am in an old man's body. For years, it was OK. The only hangup was that old body isn't much to look at, but then I was never God's gift to women. But now I...

Trying to Reach Me? Send SNAIL MAIL

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 6 May 16

You don't know me and I don't know you. But for some perfectly legitimate reason you wish to contact me. You try the phone, but I'm suspicious of a telemarketer or scam artist. I hang up. You try emailing me, but I view your...

WHEN EVER Will Google Webmaster Get Rid of the Fat Woman Cutting Cheese?

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 5 May 16

I'm SO sick and tired of the fat woman cutting cheese on the Google Webmaster Homepage. It's time to let this person GO! If for no other reason than it is hypocritical of the site to claim one can make money by advertising with...

What's Your Site Worth Today?

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 3 May 16

I've had my own site, Quirkyscience.com for a couple/few years now. It has a value. Not much, but some value. I make only a little money from it, and Google AdSense has kept that down. In fact, it's lower now than it was some...

People SAY They're Concerned for the Earth, but...

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 3 May 16

But (and yet) they are unwilling to give up even the little conveniences that, given up, would at least help slow the trashing of the planet. You don't believe me? Ever ordered a cup of coffee with cream "on the side?" What does...

Wow! Ouch! What? Unbelievable!

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 2 May 16

Everything was going smoothly. I was watching a video. Then, suddenly! We lost power. Then? Then we heard pounding noises. Sleet. No! Hail! And not ordinary hail. Hail that was nickel sized. Did I say nickel? Try quarter. Did I...

Do You Enjoy Anchovies? If So, How?

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 30 Apr 16

The idea is certainly gross to the inexperienced. Cook a perfectly good tomato cheese pizza, but before you do, lay out perhaps a half-dozen to a dozen flat anchovies equally spaced on the pie. I used to eat every kind of pizza...

Dinah Shore

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 30 Apr 16

So, OK. Dinah Shore. I don't see what all the hub-bub was about Dinah Shore. Frankly, her voice was weak. Also, she didn't sing on key. But then, most people didn't realize that. Did you?

What We Learn from the Winnie the Pooh Characters

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 29 Apr 16

After watching Pooh’s Heffalump movie dozens upon dozens of times (yes, I have a most insistent grandson), I became aware that the characters portrayed therein were a lot like the sort of characters we meet in everyday life. I...

AdSense "Introduces" Page-Level Ads

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 27 Apr 16

To quote their glowing words, they say "Page-level ads are optimized to only appear when they’ll perform well for you, they provide a good user experience, and they’re easy to set up too." Isn't it amazing? There should be ads...

Shakespeare's Colonoscopy

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 25 Apr 16

What, you don't think they had those then? You must be a reader... Shakespeare alluded to it himself when he said, "Toobe or Not toobe, that is the question." Actually, a colonoscopy is the study by microscope of the punctuation...

The Revolutionary War - How Do You Feel About It?

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 25 Apr 16

"War is hell." These words are attributed to General William Tecumseh Sherman. And, except for the scriptural misconception of what hell is, these words are spot on. War is not fun. It seldom accomplishes anything. Even if it...

Hollywood and the Stars - Produced by David L. Wolper

Vincent Summers @KuznVinny (768) • United States 24 Apr 16

Hollywood was believed to be, by many, a breeding ground for immorality. In truth, it has been. But some artistic triumphs have also been produced there. A series concerning Hollywood, entitled Hollywood and the Stars, was...
