Cute and Quirky Near Koblenz

Judy Evans @JudyEv (340469) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Mar 16

In August 2015 we drove our motor-home down (or up) both sides of the Rhine. We camped at Koblenz and stopped at several of the little towns along the way. Once again I have a lot of photos to show off so I've chosen a few cute...

My ultimate nightmare came true

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 19 Feb 16

As some members will already know I visited the hospital today to have the result of my recent cataract operation assessed. This was expected to be a formality and a date set for my other eye, but it seems that complications have...

kizzyB Please don't be too dismayed. This sounds like what happened to me after cataract surgery, and was very simple to fix. If it is the same thing I had, it was treated with a laser as an outpatient. A two minute job with instant results, no pain or recovery...

Have You Ever Eaten Tapioca Pudding?

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15962) • United States 14 Dec 15

When I was a child, my mother would often cook tapioca pudding for dessert. I had almost forgotten about it until I saw it in the grocery store the other day. I started to buy it, but remembered that I'm still trying to lose...

What Bad Habit Annoys You?

Steve West @zebra2222 (5268) • United States 14 Dec 15

We all have some bad habits. Some of us try to get rid of them. Some of us learn to live with them. Some of us emphasize them. What bad habit annoys you? For example, flossing your teeth in public is pretty annoying. Eating...

Why I am Saying Goodbye

Val @valmnz (17097) • New Zealand 5 Dec 15

I love myLot, don't get me wrong, but after much consideration I realise I need to leave. I didn't want those people I've known for a long time to worry about what may have happened to me, so I've dropped back in, after several...

Val @valmnz (17097) • New Zealand 19 Nov 15

When I was a teenager I had an amazing number of penfriends I wrote to all around the world. It started when I was ten and I eventually lost contact with the last one once we all started getting married. One of the things I loved...

Stuffed Squash

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160721) • United States 16 Nov 15

Mom would occasionally cut an acorn squash in half, and fill it with butter and brown sugar. I did not like it until I was an adult. I went further. I would fill the cavity with diced apples, and dried raisins and cranberries,...

What was your first Facebook Game?

Meow Anji @meowanji (193) • Philippines 16 Nov 15

Do you still remember the first game you played in Facebook? What was it? From what I can remember, my very first game was Farmville and that was 2011 when we bought our desktop computer. I got addicted to that game, planting,...

kizzyB It was 2013 before I joined facebook, and played Magic Balls. I used to be top of the leader board regularly, and suspected it was rigged to make me feel good. Sadly, the day came when the game was no longer available.

Why I'm glad that most of the stuff I posted on Bubblews was (pretty) rubbish

Boingboing @boiboing (13153) • Northampton, England 16 Nov 15

It's gone at last. Like a sad old pet that's got smelly and incontinent and really is on its last legs, Bubblews has been 'put to sleep'. That's that, gone, done and dusted. I'm not surprised. In fact the only surprise is that...

Not Too Many New Discussions Today

Marlina @marlina (154131) • Canada 15 Nov 15

The phrase refers to a need to get dirty to get rich. It’s impossible to mine coal or diamonds without getting filthy. The reality however is that where there’s muck there’s mostly just more muck. In many cases we dig and find...

A Human Can Never Knock Themselves Out!

kizzyB My mum did knock herself out while chopping wood. The axe hit a piece of wood that bounced up and caught her in the face. I guess it's not the same as punching yourself, and she certainly wasn't expecting it.
