Has anyone else experienced this?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 29 Jun

I got a new laptop last fall, finally got it set up, windows 11, Dell, and it won't load mylot. It just loads all the menu options as a list. Doesn't matter which browser I use. Anyone run into this?

We got 5 kittens to foster from a friend of my sister. She bottle fed them until they were weaned and then I took them. They were 5 little black kittens. We couldn't tell them apart, so Animal Outreach put different colored...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 12 Apr

So I occasionally look at my son's accusers social media. Mostly it's just in case she says something about my son. Few days ago, I saw she was promoting a fundraiser for her niece who is 7 and has cancer. So I went to her dad's...

So I'm setting up my new laptop. I guess when I downloaded and logged into chrome (which Microsoft tried to talk me out of), it pulled in my saved passwords. I opened myLot, put in my user ID, and this entirely new laptop, on...

Probably I'm being stupid

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 27 Dec

Back in 2009 and 2010, there were a lot of posts about my marital problems, my decision to divorce, etc. etc. etc. I got a lot of validation back at that time. My ex would do something mean, I'd try and figure out if my...

Well, that's how I picture it anyway. So I read a Facebook post, I click like. That just tells me that I've read it and then I move on. It's sort of instinctual. If I think something more of it, like it's funny,sad or whatever,...

I was at a fire meeting last week. The guys reported on a medical call where a man in his 40's had had a heart attack, and that they were able to revive him, so it was a good outcome. But then they talked about a call that same...

It's not my problem any more

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 14 Nov 23

I should just forget about it and make my brain move on. What am I talking about? The guy I was dating until he broke up with me in February. He broke up with me because he was experiencing severe anxiety, trauma, nightmares,...

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 14 Nov 23

Seriously, I had just typed paragraphs and paragraphs, and I was almost to the end, and somehow I closed this lovely little box wherein I had just poured my heart out, and the box went bye bye, and the discussion went poof. What...

My ex husband

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 17 Jun 23

So this is a weird one. Or maybe not. I've been divorced since 2011. My ex was pretty verbally abusive in the end, even to the kids. He was frustrated with me and he put them in the middle and that is really the reason I...
