I was here on Mylot a few months back, and then got away from posting here. Decided I rather missed the place, and decided to see if my account was still active, so I could start posting again. And yes, I found it. I need to get...

Marie5656 My problem, jands, is finding my way around the place again. Kind of forgot what was here. And finding the time, as well. I usually have a little down time at work, where I could go on, but that has not happened much lately. Hope I can get back into posting.

Do you go to any of the websites that offer free samples of items and other things? Most often I use www.freeflys.com . Of the sites I have used, I seem to have gotten the best return from them. Just yesterday I got a free 2009...

Marie5656 Here is an idea, not sure if it would work, but ho about doing a search for free sample websites and then include your country in the search parameters?

Many years back, before it was really "in" to be frugal I had a friend who cut hair. So, She'd cut or perm my hair, and I'd babysit her kids. Her and hubby did not go out a lot and it worked out well that the trading was not one...

Marie5656 Your response got me thinking. I wonder if any local communities have "Trader groups" where people can trade services. You know, someone plows your driveway in winter,...you mow the lawn in summer. Something like that.

We have been replacing all the bulbs in our house with the CFLs (compact florescent lightbulbs) the ones that are the curly ones) as well as LED lamps (the tiny LED lights). The initial investment is a bit higher that the old...

Marie5656 You are welcome. I do not always play the slots unless there is a challenge. But I at least like to try a new one to see the story progress. I got tired of the movie one pretty quick. Show Biz.

Marie5656 Don't forget, you can do personal challenges over again, even if you have already one them and they will count for the Turkey Badge. That goes for any premium challenges you may have won.

Marie5656 I play Pogo because I like playing the games, that is why I never could understand the cheat programs. I had a friend at work tell me that she and her husband use the cheat programs all the time to get their badges. I'd rather earn them myself or not at all.

Marie5656 Hi Verity. I have belonged to Pogo for about 5 years. I play almost every day. I think my favorite games include Majong Solitaire, Qwerty, Scrabble and many of the solitaire card games. I also like Lottso and Phlinx. What about you?

So often there are people who consider themselves good Christians because they attend Sunday Service every week, or tithe X amount of dollars. But then the rest of the week they do not "walk the walk" as it were. They do not...

Marie5656 You make good points there. I think I go for both, the socialization and to get involved with church activities. I like that my church has a mission of helping those in need. We provided filled backpacks for children when school started, we give to the...

Marie5656 I respect your opinion and your stand on this. But I must ask. It seems that personally, my only major "fault" is that I respect all people, despite their sexuality. I do not believe adultry is right in any manor. A man cheating on his wife, or a woman...
