Mexican Food, Why are You so Darned Tasty?

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 1 Sep 22

Really, why is Mexican food so darned tasty? At least to me it is. I don't think I've ever had a Mexican dish that I didn't like! I am a bit of a food explorer, but there are a few foods from different lands that I just don't...

Frightening Fandom!

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 31 Aug 22

The first time I remember being a fan was in the 1970s. My idol was Donny Osmond, though I never got to the point where I'd tape a poster of him on my wall. I also liked David Cassidy and Bobby Sherman. Every once in a while I...

What About Ice?

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 30 Aug 22

I've got to finally admit it: I am an ice-a-holic! I drink a lot of water in a day, and I've got to have a full cup of ice that I then pour the water into. My husband will say, "Oh, I only want a little bit of ice in my cup, just...

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 29 Aug 22

Are you superstitious? Did you maybe come from a superstitious family? I've never been superstitious and I didn't come from a superstitious family, but I've known many superstitious people, some very superstitious, others just a...

How Many Times Have You Relocated? Or Have You Never Relocated?

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 28 Aug 22

My grandmother once told me that by the time I was 5 years old, my family had relocated to different homes 14 times. My father was a carpenter by trade, so we moved every time he had a new job. By the time I was 8 years old, my...

Do you have a dream destination, a destination you sometimes daydream about? Other than our honeymoon cruise 26 years ago, I've never been outside of the U.S., but I do have certain places outside of the U.S. that I would love to...

Water, the Ultimate Thirst-Quencher!

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 26 Aug 22

I don't know what your go-to drink is, but mine is definitely water. I just love the stuff! We have a refrigerator filter, and I am constantly getting a refill of the water from the fridge. I do drink colas, maybe once a week, but...

Pop-Pop-Pop-Popcorn!

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 25 Aug 22

Every once in a while, my husband and I have popcorn for an evening snack. We can't have it together too often, because I can't eat very much salt, and popcorn is no good to me without salt. So there you have it! We get our...

How Do You Meal Plan? Or Do You Not?

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 25 Aug 22

Hello, all of my fellow Mylotters! I was up very, very early this morning (2:00am) to work on my family's meal plan for the week. We have a Google Doc called "Family Menu" with all of the days of the week on it. Since I go...

Root Beer and Licorice, Not for the Faint-Hearted

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 23 Aug 22

My father loved root beer and licorice. I grew up on both, because I would go to my dad's house every Sunday and partake of these delicacies with him (along with my brother). My dad even liked Sen-Sen, a very strong licorice mint...

School Grades - Good, Medium, or Bad?

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 20 Aug 22

I didn't do so well in elementary, middle, or high school. My grades were kind of a mixture of good and bad, depending on what the subject was. I did great in English and Art and Physical Education, but I did pretty terribly at...

Do You Recycle or Not?

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 19 Aug 22

When I was a kid, recycling wasn't a big thing. The only thing we did was get our deposit money back from our glass cola bottles and aluminum cans. When my husband and I first got married, more was said about recycling, but we...

Hey, Grandpa, What's for Supper?

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 18 Aug 22

I just happened to stumble on some videos from Hee-Haw, where everyone says, "Hey, Grandpa, What's for Supper?" and then he'd go on to describe his menu of mouthwatering meats, veggies, breads, desserts, and drinks, in a kind of...

Dance Blasts From the Past!

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 18 Aug 22

I just recently wrote about my nostalgia over disco songs. Now I'm wondering what kind of dances (from any era) that you might remember. I remember the Hustle and the Bump, which I actively (groan) participated in, and from...

Does anyone on MyLot like shows about space? I love all of the Star Treks, The Orville, and Doctor Who (David Tennant and Matt Smith seasons). What's even better is that my husband also likes shows about space! So whenever we...

My Most Memorable Toy

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 15 Aug 22

My most memorable toy of all time was my Crissy doll. I was 7 or 8 years old when I got it as a Christmas present, and I absolutely loved her! I played with her daily until my brother cut off her hair with a pair of scissors. Yes,...

Did You Ever Have a Hair Monstrosity?

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 13 Aug 22

My mother had curly hair, and when she was a child, my grandmother would shape it into ringlets just like Shirley Temple. She was adorable! However, when I was a baby and toddler, my hair was a little wavy but otherwise...

Favorite Disco Song

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 13 Aug 22

Yes, I'm old enough to remember going to the disco on Friday and Saturday nights. There were certain songs that made me want to immediately get up and dance. My favorite of all, though, was "Ring My Bell" by Anita Ward. That had...

Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

Terri Doss @gtdoss (1013) • United States 12 Aug 22

When I started having problems with my sciatic nerve a few months ago, I really had to rethink my sleeping position. My doctor said it was best if I slept on my back, as side and stomach sleeping are hard on the sciatic nerve....
