Titia Geertman Congrats on your milestone, I didn't know you're on HP too. I moved over there when Squidoo sold us out and I'm still there. Not very active in writing new articles though. With the few I have I reach pay-out every month and that's ok with me. I joined ML not...

Titia Geertman Welcome to MyLot. I've been here a month now, but not on a daily base and I'm half way my $5 now. So don't expect to earn a lot of money here. What the others say, it all depends on how active you are and following a lot of people doesn't do it, taking part in...

Enter stage left: Rufus

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (61088) • Centralia, Washington 30 Jan 21

Hubby and I have had quite a day. Mister Rufus esquire came to live with us. He is not a big boy and yet his spirit and youth make up for his size. Rufus is an Australian Cattle Dog or some would say a Blue Heeler. Just like...

Titia Geertman Looks indeed very much like an Aussie cattle dog, but could be there's some Kelpie genes in him too. Very good herd dogs. I could use one right now, both my border collies (litter sisters) died of old age. I'm dogless now and my sheep know that very well. LOL

I Got Hurt By Wrong Beliefs

Arya @yoalldudes (35037) • Philippines 30 Jan 21

From reading psychology books and self help books, Ive come across how daughters need their fathers and they will not grow up fine without a father figure. I'm scared that if I enter into a relationship with another man, he might...

Titia Geertman You've had a nasty experience, but mind you, not all man are bad. Seems to me you are doing great living by yourself and your daughter. Daughters can grow up very well without a father. Better no father than a bad father. Don't think too low on yourself,...

Titia Geertman @Bannatt3 Welcome to MyLot. Don't worry about your language. English is not my native language either. Best way to learn is to talk (write) to us and then you will see how things should be written. When you see any wrongly spelled words in what you type, then...

Frederick Espiritu @simplfred (20641) • Philippines 29 Jan 21

We have 7 active cases of Covid in our Barrio. Our Town is already the #1 town that has a lot of active cases in our Province... Things is getting worse here... Makes me hate to go out and just stay at home...

Titia Geertman I don't know what a barrio is, but it sounds that covid is creeping up very closeby. Stay home if you can as much as possible and don't let other people in. It's hard I know, but it's the best way to stay safe.

Bitcoin expected price in 2022.

Hammad Habib @Hammad1245 (2) 28 Jan 21

Bitcoin is the king of crypto. Its value is increasing every month. A huge increase in price took place during lock down. What do you think about its price in 2022.it will hit 70000$ or not?

Titia Geertman I really don't care if it hits $70000 or not. It's a very insecure way to invest your money. You might win some but then loose it all again and maybe more and you'll be in debt.

Nature is at it again

Always smiling @allknowing (136369) • India 19 Jan 21

At every nook and corner of our garden I see nature's artistic hand at work. This is a very ordinary flower but it has been arranged so artistically - a perfect picture post card. There is no artist better than nature. If you...

Titia Geertman Beautiful flower and beautiful color. Do you know the name of this plant? I love roses, I had a lot of them, mainly rambler roses. I let them grow a bit wild in our garden and only cut them where I don't want them. Sometimes that gives surprising pictures.

Kitty decided to sleep in when I went to bed last night, rather than go hunting, as she often does. But then, she woke me up by clawing at my couch, which she's not allowed to do. Then she jumped up on my couch, which is her way...

My Jade plants are throwing flowers!

Titia Geertman I have a jade plant too which is at least over 50 years old. I got it last year. It's very rare that they get to blooming, you must've neglected it dearly, because succulents only bloom after a long period of drought. So you must have done something good....
