Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (119621) • United States 6h

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 36 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high is just 44. *sigh* It is Friday. I wrote yesterday about the good and the crazy parts of today. I forgot to...

Bush's Best is Best Except When

Jim Bauer @porwest (90876) • United States 15h

As cheap as I am, there are still certain brands of things that just stand out for me and tend to wind up in my cart despite the premium price. But some things are also just worth it. Take Rain-X windshield washer fluid. It's the...

NJ Chicaa I'm not particularly brand-loyal when it comes to food but I am when it comes to skin care (philosophy) and hair products (TIGI).

I made it official today.

Did Matt Gaetz really step down?

The Horse @TheHorse (218846) • Walnut Creek, California 22h

I get my news from FOX, MSM, and Lefty websites. I just read on a Lefty website that Trump's absurd pick for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, has stepped down. As you know, Gaetz stepped down from his position in Congress to try and...

My 100 Favorite Charted Country Songs: There’s a New Moon Over My Shoulder

Four Walls @FourWalls (68014) • United States 21 Nov

Today’s combination just might be the killer. We have, on one hand, late 70s new wave-meets-R&B; while here, we have mid 40s Western music. And for you newcomers, YES, I really do love both songs, and I really AM just one person....

My 100 Favorite Charted Pop Songs: Take Me to the River

Four Walls @FourWalls (68014) • United States 21 Nov

”Pop” is a misnomer here, but this is the “hot 100” or popular songs chart (not “pop music” in the sense of Frank Sinatra or Perry Como, who have also graced this list). And what else goes with a Tex Ritter song but this?...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 47 degrees F and raining here at the Jersey Shore. One more reminder of why I am not a dog person--walking a dog outside in the cold and rain. Yuck. I'm done with work for the...

Milk with Macaroni and Cheese?

Jim Bauer @porwest (90876) • United States 24 Jul

Now, of course our friend Chicaa is going to immediately poopoo the idea that I use boxed macaroni and cheese in the first place. Hey, I like it, and I get it really cheap when I buy the Smart Way "brand" offered by...

NJ Chicaa @porwest They aren't something that I eat regularly but like I said I like to keep them at work for days when I don't bring lunch. I keep all sorts of snacks at work both for me and for students--Zone bars, cheese sticks, yogurt, diced peach cups, popcorn,...

Jim Bauer @porwest (90876) • United States 20 Nov

We were a bit overdue for a spaghetti night, so I made up a batch, and it was as delicious as ever with plenty leftover. The only change I made was that I had half a box of regular spaghetti noodles and half a box of fettucine...
