Proud to Be Part of the Womens March in California

Deborah-Diane @DeborahDiane (40317) • Laguna Woods, California 21 Jan 17

The Women's Marches in Southern California were incredible. They estimate that 750,000 women and men showed up at the March in Los Angeles. I live in Orange County, the smallest county in California, where at least three marches...

Justusforus I had to laugh at your line that you "haven't had this much fun since the 60's". The irony is that I think a lot of people woke up to a changed view of the world after election day...with fear of rolling everyone's (women, minorities) rights back at least 50...

Trumpkin- 11 Days In

celticeagle @celticeagle (168163) • Boise, Idaho 31 Jan 17

I do understand where Trump is coming from in one respect. Really I do. He is a business man and he answers to no one. He is used to making orders and no one, except perhaps his kids, are made aware of his up and coming decisions....

Justusforus Some people and clearly not a majority liked his impetuous and critical comments about "politicians" and his lure of a shake up appealed to them. It is easy to be critical of any profession, but there is a reason experience AND qualifications counts in...

Justusforus Goodness that is gorgeous. It would be fascinating I am sure to learn the history behind the pub signs. I do suspect most that see them most frequently are not there for either the art or history. If you are doing a series on these I have to catch up...been...

Low Earnings Today

Jo Ann @akalinus (43334) • United States 14 Jun 16

Justusforus It seems to vary quite a bit. Seems though that some discussions attract a lot of attention and others not. I agree as to just having fun and looking for something interesting to read and comment on.

What Else?

Macarrosel @Macarrosel (7498) • Philippines 20 Jun 16

I wake up today with heavy rain, a brownout, and no water. What else? Well, I try to calm down for I don't want to start my day in a negative way. I never complain for I know this is just temporary. Then I pray to God, ask Him for...

How do you handle people you don't like?

Bhem @JustBhem (70555) • Davao, Philippines 8 Jun 16

Ever since I'm sick. I become very choosy in picking up a new friend. I'm afraid they will not like me because of my current situation. And when it comes to not liking someone, I am very observant about it. If I don't like the...

Justusforus I think all people deserve civility. Those however who bring you down or do not add to your life are not worth too much of your time or your worries. As long as I take the high road and respect the differences in people, I do not feel I waste any time...

Expectations

SP @thewordwizard (14) 8 Jun 16

Have you ever been at that stage in life when you have two choices. 1. The one that the society, your parents, friends, family feels is right for you, the rationally correct one and 2. The one that your heart tells you to follow,...

Justusforus Oh yes, been there and had to make that choice. The longer you live the more you look back at the choices made and chances taken. There can be no regrets...just lessons learned and stories to tell.

Our green hills are now brown. How does late Spring look where you are?

The Horse @TheHorse (220116) • Walnut Creek, California 28 May 16

In Northern California, Spring comes early. If there's been any Winter rain, the hills are a Ireland-like green in January, turning brown in April or May. This year, we had a fairly rainy Winter, and the hills were a lovely green...

Justusforus @TheHorse(20013) Going from the sort of tropical San Diego to the high desert made me think I would miss the spring. Luckily there has been rain on and off. The above is a picture of my garden in the Mojave Desert. I always heard they did test runs on cars...

Justusforus @rebelann I absolutely adored this. Thank you for bringing the truth to light. I knew those dang manufacturers were up to something. They never did this when we were younger...the sizes were true and they did not shrink on their own in the closet.

One Random Thing I Love About MyLot

angel_smiles @Lolaze (5093) • St. Louis, Missouri 27 May 16

One thing I love about MyLot versus other sites is that no one makes us wait until our posts are proofed or approved to be posted. I'm running into this on another site I use and it's driving me crazy waiting for 24 hours or more...

Who Will be the Next President?

Steve West @zebra2222 (5268) • United States 23 Apr 16

Place your bets everyone. It's time to decide. Who will be the next President? Currently, my bet would be on Hillary Clinton. Although Bernie Sanders would be the safer choice, he will not get enough delegates to secure the...

Justusforus I think you are correct that Hillary Clinton will be our next president. In my humble opinion she deserves the nomination over Bernie Sanders who may have fine ideals but lacks in any real know how as how to get there. Also his campaign has gotten a little...

Justusforus I would err on the side of telling her. There is the chance she does not know and that is what a friend would do. Sure you may have some "splainin to do" depending on the site but hey, I think she would be most appreciative and not judge where you were on.
