Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (60245) 23 Jun

I think the worst thing about getting older is we lose some of the people we care about to time and age and the natural course of life. Nothing is permanent, I get that, but it's still hard to lose them. I had two aunts...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I have had nightmares about his wreck. Other family members have, too. It's made us all truly more careful than ever to watch out for the other guy.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (60245) 1 Jun

I have realized in the past year or so that my taste buds have been undergoing a change. Not drastically, but it's there. At first, I thought I was just stressed (well, that's a sure thing!) so I have been doing some research and...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (60245) 18 Jun

This is so sad. We've discussed this before off and on in the years I have been here on mylot. I still find it absolutely tragic that so many people simply cannot make change, and if they pay with cash, they have no idea if they...

Could you eat 66 hotdogs in 10 minutes?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (60245) 4 Jul

Oh, you have to eat the buns, too. In catching up on news, I read about the 2026 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. This contest takes place every year in Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY. I have never desired to see it or...

Oh oh. Gas prices rising again in California.

The Horse @TheHorse (238820) • Walnut Creek, California 18h

Gas prices rose here to above $6.00/gallon afterTrump invaded Venezuela and Iran. But then, with talk of a peace deal with Iran, and probably a decline in the price of oil futures, prices dropped to only about 50 cents above...

Marie Coyle @LadyDuck I have always enjoyed cooking, but there are times that I wish someone would wash the pots and pans! But then I think, we have food to cook and eat, so many don't have even that...and I try to just wash them and be glad about it.
