myLot is the one place where I share almost everything, but I still hold some things back

LilyLoretta @LilyBeBack (1994) • United Kingdom 5 Oct 17

It's a difficult balance, I think, to say my piece and do the right thing as much as possible, whilst also protecting myself and others emotionally. It's also sometimes difficult to keep my mouth shut when I think someone's...

kathryn This is a public site so, if you state your opinion, you are open to approval or criticism. I think the key is not to be harsh because it could become an angry situation or feelings can get hurt. But once you put a discussion or response out there, realize...

Didn't have to fix supper tonight

Sandy @velvet53 (22533) • Palisade, Colorado 22 Sep 17

I have had a pretty busy day today. I started out with my PT appointment then had some errands to run. When I was done with them I met up with my daughter-in-law and we went grocery shopping then over to my sons place. I helped...

kathryn Always nice to be surprised with that dinner. You are probably a great cook but when you get a home cooked meal from someone else, it usually tastes amazing. But then again, she probably learned to cook from you.

TV and movie glitches

dreamertink @dfollin (25381) • United States 26 Mar 17

I had to laugh! I am watching ,"The Virginian" with family and he was talking to a woman at the card table in the saloon. She was playing solitaire. Obviously the script said that he was to say to her, "Put the red...

kathryn I agree. I think they were just trying to get the tv show ready for air faster and they did not think about these things. When you look st some of the older shows, they do a little hokey. Some things I've noticed is doors are never locked and people just...

Does this make sense?

dreamertink @dfollin (25381) • United States 28 Sep 17

I applied for SSD and SSI almost five years ago. It went to a hearing in May of this year after already being denied for SSI, which made no sense because I had no income. In October of 2016 Social Services finally awarded me a...

kathryn I'm going to a class on social security next week so, by reading all these comments, I'm going to pay close attention. Guess you can't simply rely on this.

I Lost 2 Good Friends Today

Ann LeFlore @poehere (15123) • French Polynesia 17 Aug 17

Today is a sad day. I woke up this morning to Tomas and Gertrude singing away. They do this every morning at the crack of dawn. However, this afternoon they meet their untimely death. A few months back their mother was killed...

kathryn Even though it is a business, I imagine that it is harder when you have rescued them and named them. Might be similar to be a foster dog owner and then they move on to their permanent home. Sure you won't see them die but you still provided a service. It's...

Fleur @Fleura (30541) • United Kingdom 27 Aug 17

In September Big One will be starting high school. This feels like a big step, we are all a little bit nervous about it I think. We went to the transition evening and came home with a long list of uniform to buy and stationery to...

Caring people

kathryn I've seen so many wonderful stories about people helping people. People are not looking to see what religion they follow or color of their skin or nationality. It's just people helping those in trouble. This is how things should be. The story about the guy...

kathryn I'd be upset because job hunting is no fun. I guess try to look at it as a new opportunity is just around the corner. That would happen after the panic wasn't getting me anywhere. Easier said than done. The no notice part would be hard to work through.

Order of washing dishes....

CountryGirl31 @CountryGirl31 (1259) • United States 13 Sep 17

Is there an order you wash dishes that you do the same way every time without realizing it??

kathryn I tend to do my plates first and pots and pans last. There were no order to the things in between. But, it's a lot more fun to add it to the dishwasher and let it go the work for me.

Talking While Watching TV

Jazon @holdoors (2517) • Malaysia 3 Sep 17

I always have that one person in the family who keeps conversing while we are watching television. That does make me lose focus and lose track of what's going on the screen. Therefore, I prefer watching on my PC instead. Do you...

kathryn I have in the past and it is quite irritating. Now if it was just during the commercials, it would be completely a different reaction.

“Is it vital that the apology is heartfelt?”

Shavkat @Shavkat (140118) • Philippines 15 Jul 17

Some people cannot accept that they had committed mistakes. With such actions, they cannot even say “sorry” in sincerest way. They need to say it just to save their face to the eyes of people. Sensitive people can sense how...

kathryn I think apologies should be sincere but too often people think that just by saying sorry they are out of trouble. Sometimes it takes awhile for the injured party to forgive. I think what is crucial is their behavior after the apology. And if they have...

John Roberts @JohnRoberts (109846) • Los Angeles, California 8 Aug 17

Anyone around in the 1960s will remember Paul Revere and the Raiders with their distinct colonial uniforms. They frequently appeared on American Bandstand and similar shows. In 1958, the band was formed in Boise as the Downbeats...

A day at the beach vs. A day in the mountains?

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17597) 15 Jul 17

It may not be such an easy option for some people (at least for me bevause I love both places )... What would be your choice for a relaxing day? The beach still speaks louder in my mind.

kathryn I prefer the mountain air. When you live in the city, it is nice to go into the mountains, rent a cabin and experience nature. Plus, I love to see the changing colors of the seasons that I can't see where I live. However; if I got a chance to drive over to...

Do you like spaghetti?

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17597) 12 Aug 17

Spaghetti is a relatively popular dish, I believe and is appreciated in different ways around the world... Basically, with the change of sauces according to each country. Do you like it? How do enjoy yours?

kathryn I like other types of pasta more, such as linguini and angel hair. Gives a little variety, My favorite is shrimp linguini. Not bad for someone who would never eat shrimp. I don't particularly care for the fried version, though.

Susan @HazySue (39268) • Gouverneur, New York 8 Sep 17

belmeros @belmeros (256) • Marrakesh, Morocco 8 Sep 17
