It was a tense atmosphere

alan pollock We never had smog up here in Newcastle, maybe because no one had cars till 1990 :-), when you look back at the older films such as Jack the Ripper, it was always foggy yet there wasn't many cars around? Maybe it was all of the industrialization

myLot is a friendly place?

Kaysi Lynn @Kaygreen1913 (162) 24 Dec 15

For the most part I've seen that people on myLot are nice. But, as always, there are those few people that make me think otherwise. I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there's also a thing called...

Do You Ever Take a Daytime Nap?

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15962) • United States 10 Dec 15

For some reason, about four o'clock in the afternoon, I start yawning and I just go lay down on my bed and cover up with a warm blanket and read a chapter of my current book and off to sleep I go. I have the luxury to do that now...

Lucy Leyshon @RaineLockheart (219) 22 Nov 15
