LoriAMoore has written about seven of her childhood memories and asked us to do the same. I had a job paring it down to 7, but here are mine. 1. My parents didn't possess a car when I was a child, but they had a tandem bicycle...

Patti G Those are great memories. I'll have to sit and think about some. Unlike most people I do have a lot of childhood memories. It's amazing that my younger sister (1 year younger) can hardly remember anything about our childhood. And it seems some people get...

Grilled Cheese Isn't Rocket Science

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (83176) • United States 29 Dec 15

This afternoon I decided to make myself a grilled cheese sandwich (with swiss cheese cause that's my favorite). I don't have any kind of new fangled gadget to make grilled cheese and I just do it in my frying pan. Side one came...

Patti G A grilled cheese sandwich actually sounds pretty good right now. I think I'll make some with some of my leftover Christmas ham!

Patti G I had never thought of the origin of socks before! I love that I live now with today's socks rather than yesteryear! I just love new and freshly washed socks!

Patti G I never got into 'Friends' like most people. There is a new show I really like, not sure if it airs there, but if it does, you should watch it. It's called "Life in Pieces", starring James Brolin, Dianne Wiest, Colin Hanks (Tom's son, you may have seen him in...

Handy Aloe Plant

Angel @Angelee_27 (3460) • United States 28 Dec 15

Yesterday, we finally found a way to make use of our Aloe plant. My boyfriend burned his hand while he was getting something out of the oven. It wasn't a serious burn that needed medical attention. However, it was red, swollen,...

Crime knock?

vanny @vandana7 (100664) • India 29 Dec 15

About two years ago, I came up with a discussion here on marriage of a minor girl. She is my washer woman's daughter. She was minor then. I was against that marriage, but had my fears. You see I am not married. So if I said she...

Patti G I am so sorry to hear that you were sick on Christmas. I hope you are better now. As a child, I had asthma and I cannot remember one Christmas that I was not sick. Gladly, as an adult I don't have that problem anymore.

How We Answer People Really Counts On MyLot

Ann LeFlore @poehere (15123) • French Polynesia 29 Dec 15

Have you ever responded to a discussion and the person gave you back a very rude comment. I know this has happened a few times to me. Not often does this happen, but now and then it will happen. After receiving a rude response...

Patti G People should use emoticons, too, whenever possible. Sometimes people may not realize that they are being rude, but then sometimes it might even be their intention! Either way, it comes across as hurtful.

Do you improvise in the kitchen? (cooking pancakes with olive oil)

The Horse @TheHorse (220610) • Walnut Creek, California 28 Dec 15

Lately, I've been cooking pancakes for breakfast. Nothing fancy. I just use a pre-made mix from Safeway. But I do adorn them with butter and real maple syrup. When I started, I realized the only oil I have here is a light olive...

Patti G I am sorry that you were sad on Christmas. What a pretty dog! In 2005, I lost my 13 yr old Sheltie, she had end stage kidney disease and then 3 months later I lost my son to a motorcycle accident. That was a bad year. How wonderful that your daughter is...

People are too quick to give up on this world

Morgan @OneOfMany (12150) • United States 18 Dec 15
