The cook did not want to tonight, and so she didn't

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160952) • United States 23 Jun

I did not want to cook tonight, but we still had to eat. Come to think of it, I did not want to cook this noon either. At noon we had sliced summer sausage, cubed cheddar cheese, two kinds of crackers and black grapes. Tonight...

The day started well and ended badly.

marguicha @marguicha (223753) • Chile 23 Jun

I had a wonderful day and was very much applauded for my food. The conversation was centered in football (soccer) as half of the guests (Humberto, Ariel and his GF) sat at the foot of my bed watching the match between...

betlynfrnds Yes, we like reward shopping. I'm actually getting pretty good at strategizing my shops. We even have a rewards program for the pets. Our cats enjoy savings too. One of our best rewards is at a club store. My husband and I both have...

Fresh Corn on the Cob

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (83118) • United States 24 Jun

Normally I wouldn't buy corn on the cob from Walmart but made an exception when we had a grocery order delivered over the weekend. While shopping I saw fresh corn on the cob for 27 cents an ear. For that price I figured it...

betlynfrnds I love pleasant surprises like that. Though it has been a while for us, my husband and I have had good produce from Walmart. Now that I think about it, we have a gift card for Walmart. Hmmm, maybe we'll check out ... guess what? If you said cob, you...

No, I didn't have a fender bender! lol Instead, I made a doctor's appointment for my blood test. I have a new insurance, they only pay for blood work once a year. So, I have another six months to go, before these...

I´m watching The Patriot for the nth time.

marguicha @marguicha (223753) • Chile 25 Apr

I love those epic films. I ran to the kitchen to get some rice with the mushroom sauce. I will eat some chicken later. I can´t eat it in front of the TV. I would end up with a very soiled bed. The mushroom sauce is delicious...

Whatcha Doin on Dat Ting?

Jim Bauer @porwest (92589) • United States 14 Mar

For whatever reason, the cats like to go into the garage, and we even keep an extra litter box out there. Maybe it's because they are inside cats and this is their idea of adventure? Who knows? But I went out to get a beer when...

Fleur @Fleura (30541) • United Kingdom 23 Apr

I woke up today to the last of the panamerican games. There are interviews on TV while we wait for the parapanamerican games to start. We proudly came out in 7th place with our assorted medals. The US, of course, was first...

Mathew Perry from Friends died at the age of 54

Hanni Harel @Hannihar (130213) • Israel 30 Oct 23

I do not know how many of you here watched Friends. I did and I am not a fan. I would not watch it again and it is on Netflix. Once was fine for me. I am sorry he died and he was not old. The link I am putting here will be from...

betlynfrnds I'm familiar with the breed. In fact, my husband and I adopted one about 5 months ago. Murray is 7 months old now and is a sweet, funny and playful kitten. We adore him! Sadly we lost our other beloved bombay kitty a week to the day that we adopted...

Do you trust new apps that pay us?

Diana @dya80dya (36775) 25 Oct 23

I found a lot of apps that promise a lot. I think that most of them are scams. They promise huge amounts of money. Some apps pay us to walk. I am so tired of scam sites. I know someone who insists a lot to be his referral, he is...

betlynfrnds I may trust the ones that offer a small cash incentive when completing tasks. If the promises are too good to be true, then I don't bother with them. Whatever your friend is into, I don't trust. Even if he pay the membership for me, I would not want to be a...

AI or me?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (41731) • United States 21 Oct 23

I really don't know a lot about AI (artificial intelligence), but I think it's creeping into all avenues of life including myLot. How is it determined to be AI or the poster's own words? It's funny we might begin to suspect...

Just call me shaky hand

snowy @snowy22315 (182189) • United States 22 Oct 23

So, I just came in from cutting hedges and some tall grass during the half time. I guess I was using my hands and arms more than usual. When I came in I was doing some putering and my hand was shaking. I was like oh groovy, don't...

A debris field has been located near the Titanic

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120116) • United States 22 Jun 23

Presumably it is the wreckage of the submersible Titan that has been missing for 5 days. Debris likely indicates that there was an implosion which would mean that the 5 passengers would have died instantly. As horrific as that...

How MyLot helped me make $3.20 yesterday alone.

The Horse @TheHorse (220227) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Jun 23

I worked at my flaky friend's preschool yesterday and bought some gas on the way home. Gas at the Arco in the "Barrio" was only $4.49/gallon, compared to $4.79 at my local "discount" station. It's almost $5.00 at the local...

betlynfrnds Depending on where we go, it's an average of about 3.49/gallon or so. It's actually gone down a bit over the past few weeks. Right now, we're holding steady. It's always nice to have a little earnings to offset the cost of whatever; gas, groceries, etc....

Brendel Is Not Feeling Well

CarolDM @CarolDM (203422) • Nashville, Tennessee 16 Jun 23
