No Good Deed Goes Unpunished *sigh*

chrystalia @chrystalia (1208) • Tucson, Arizona 4 Oct 12

Well-- I have been basically missing in action from My Lot for a few weeks-- we have lost our farm. I'm not homeless-- but I am now a sharecropper, living in my 1976 travel trailer instead of the house. As many of you know, my...

Christine637 Life does throw you some curve balls doesn't it? If you sell anything online, please let us know how to get it. My husband loves kettle corn although he's not supposed to have sweets (who is?). Is there anything we can buy? I don't know have a farm or mine...

It's a cat's life

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5968) • Greece 19 Sep 12

If I had to be something other than a human being I would choose to be my cat Lucy. Her day starts with an immediate meal, even before I have my first cup of coffee in the morning. After that she goes for a stroll and plays with...

Christine637 They do have the life! As someone once said, dogs have owners, cats have slaves. My cat's got it made, she gets all she wants to eat apparently because she never finishes what I give her and she's right now snoozing on my freshly made bed. She'll stay there...

Had anyone here in mylot underwent uterine fibroid removal?

edorms36 @edorms36 (275) • United Arab Emirates 16 Sep 12

Hello fellow mylotters, I've been adviced by a gynecologist that I had consulted 4 weeks ago to undergo surgery to remove a uterine fibroid, because it is already grown as big as a 4 month old baby in the womb and it is really...

Christine637 PLEASE, PLEASE be sure it's a uterine fibroid. I was told by two doctors that I had to have uterine fibroids removed by having a hysterectomy. This was ten years ago, so hopefully that's changed now. But anyway, reading all I could about hysterectomies for...

Christine637 As a rule I really don't like 'reality' shows but I will have to admit to two old guilty pleasures - The Osbornes (Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne & kids)and The Simple Life (Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie). They both had me laughing! I can't say I saw all of the...

Change

Amber @AmbiePam (95623) • United States 10 Sep 12

I think of the line in the Sheryl Crow song, "A change will do you good." Do you like change? I guess it depends on the situation you are experiencing the change. One of the bigger changes in my life many years ago was extremely...

Christine637 There are a lot of changes I do like - every time I've moved to a new place, it's for the better, so that's always a welcome change. When I get a new job, it was my choice so I like that too. I always loved to find out about the new grade in school, or a whole...

Living With Agoraphobia

chrystalia @chrystalia (1208) • Tucson, Arizona 9 Sep 12

For those who have read a few of my recent posts-- I am an agoraphobic, a severe one. I can only tolerate being around my other half, my two sons and a few other people. The only time I leave the farm at all is to go to doctors'...

Christine637 It's so good of you to share your experience and for those who can relate I'm sure it is a huge comfort and for those who didn't understand what it would be like, this is great information. I never had any idea what the West Nile virus could do. In this...

Consumption Levels Excesses Of Spirits

sukumar794 @sukumar794 (5040) • Thiruvananthapuram, India 8 Sep 12

The thrill associated with First Love is evident in the first shot of alcohol. However the continuous and incessant process inevitably leads to dysfunction and damage to the vital body organs. Drinks lead to dearness and love in...

Christine637 I never thought of it that way. When you get that buzz from the first drink, it's pleasant, so you keep doing it then it leads to a not so pleasant experience. Now the first love is like fireworks and excitement, now whether you just stay with that one love -...

Sunset or sunrise?

41Combedale @41CombedaleRoad (5968) • Greece 7 Sep 12

Christine637 OK, besides getting the transistor radio - here's a thought - also find a turntable and some old 1950's albums!! Hopefully the records will have skips and scratches for the real authentic sound.

Nostalgia
