Did you get paid by MyLot on Sunday?

The Horse @TheHorse (220084) • Walnut Creek, California 17 Dec

I usually forget that payout is coming. I don't even notice the dollar signs. I just notice that I got paid when the total in the upper right drops. Oh yeah. I got paid! But this month I was aware that it was the 15th. I went off...

Do I not play with Kitty enough? She challenged me to a boxing match this evening.

The Horse @TheHorse (220084) • Walnut Creek, California 18h

Is my relationship with Kitty too serious? I rarely tease her, and rarely put something in front of her that she can swat at. Tonight, as I was heading out to get some Scotch, she challenged me to a boxing match. We went at it...

Scar D. Cat @Scarred4Lyfe (613) 15 Dec

My husband painted our front door maybe 15 years ago. We have lived here since 1996. The front of our home has the sun hitting it directly and it gets pretty hot. This causes the paint to eventually weather and get cracky and...
