So bummed

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 27 Apr 20

Well my stupid beans are still giving me fits. The ones I sowed in dirt never came up, and the four that I tucked into a wet paper towel did finally sprout, but three of them have mold on them! I guess I need to find the sweet...

You planted seeds in WHAT?

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 26 Apr 20

So far I've planted tomato seeds in eggshells (I always do this and they always do well), stuck a thin slice of strawberry in the dirt to see what happens (not expecting much), and because I was having such poor luck with beans...

How Has Your Sunday Changed?

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 26 Apr 20

It's Sunday morning here on the east coast of the U.S., and for many, that would normally mean getting ready to go to church. With the pandemic still in full force, of course that's changed. Do you still have normal church...

What to do on a gloomy day?

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 25 Apr 20

It's an overcast, gloomy day here in eastern NC. I had hoped to get a bit of vitamin D therapy by working in the yard today, but since the sun isn't making much of an appearance, that's not happening. I did manage to re-pot a...

Helping each other

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 24 Apr 20

Time's are definitely different right now, and we've all had to make at least a few changes as we go about our day during the pandemic. Many have lost income, and are struggling to keep food on the table. I've always tried to...

How are you staying busy?

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 24 Apr 20

I know the pandemic has probably been a hot topic lately, but instead of the negative aspects of sheltering in place, quarantines, social distancing, etc., how about something positive? What fun things have you been doing that...

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 24 Apr 20

Whoa! I thought MyLot was dead a long time ago, but had a surprise this morning when I got email notification that someone had responded to a couple of my discussions. I hadn't posted since 2012, so someone REALLY did some...

It's Time for the Fair!

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 17 Jul 12

Our county fair will be coming up in a few weeks and although I love going to such things, I've lived here for 5 years and haven't been to the county fair in my area. Weird, huh? This year, I'm determined to go. Unless we have...

Birthday Surprises

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 9 Jul 12

Tomorrow is my birthday, and while it won't be any big celebration (since I won't let the dogs or cats use the oven to bake me a cake), there is one thing that I could get for a birthday present that would make me very, very...

Staying Focused - Quit Playing Around!

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 9 Jul 12

Ok, it's obvious we're all using the Internet, some of us more than we probably should be. Do you find yourself playing games or visiting sites throughout the day that take away from your productivity? Do you play games on...

Which Way?

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 22 Aug 10

I love tomato soup. Can't stand tomatos, make me sick, but I love tomato soup from a can. Go figure. When you make tomato soup from a can, do you add water or milk or both? I remember Mom always made it with milk which made it...

A stupid question

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 21 Aug 10

Am I the only one annoyed at the stupid question mark avatar rotating for this category? Even if I'm not looking at this particular category, its still at the top of most pages as it's a popular category with a lot of...

Uh Oh - Company's Coming

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 20 Aug 10

Hey everyone! When you have someone coming over, say, a repairman or something - do you rush to clean the house before he gets there? Do you not care since it's just a repairman, and not someone who you need to...

Ok myLot, I Give Up!

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 27 Jun 10

I haven't been here in while but I'm obviously not a noob and thought I knew how to do pretty much everything here. But why can't I change my website/address? I'm on the right page, I change the name of the site and the URL...

Do You Use a Reed Diffuser for Fragrance?

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 27 Jun 10

I love to use a reed diffuser filled with scented oil, but I am sensitive to fragrances and have a very strong sense of smell, so can't put too much oil in them. Diluting with water won't work since oil and water don't mix,...

Keeping Chickens in the Heat?

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 26 Jun 10

I haven't been here to myLot for months, maybe even a year. Decided to pop in tonight and see what's going on and thought I'd add some new interests - mainly, chickens! I got six laying hens in Dec and six chicks in March that...

Have you struggled with weight loss for a long time? Have you considered bariatric/weight loss surgery? What else did you try that didn't work? Have you already had the procedure? Which type of surgery did you choose and...

I got an automated phone call from the electric company yesterday saying they were going to have a scheduled power outage in my area from 7:30-12:30 today. Apparently they will be cutting/trimming some trees on the country road...
