Do you still have drive-in theaters near you?

lightningMD @lightningMD (5931) • United States 15 May 07

We are moving to Ohio in two weeks. The town we are moving to still has a drive-in theater. I havent been to one since I was a teenager. I cant wait to go again. So have you ever been to one? Or are you so young that you've never...

Friends and Referrals

Marie Anne @Ldyjarhead (10233) • United States 28 Feb 08

I'm a bit peeved here. Why aren't referrals automatically linked as friends? I have two new referrals and I have no way to contact them to help them until/unless they approve me as friends. I can't send them a message...

lisaviews I know I thought it was weird, too! However, one of my referrals was added as a friend immediately. I seriously don't know how that happened, as it didn't happen with my first one. This is probably just one of the little kinks myLot will eventually work...

Take Home Chef?

Chey1970 @Chey1970 (1186) • United States 28 Feb 08

If you ever watched this program, it's about an Australian Chef named Curtis, who finds unexpected shoppers in grocery stores, meat markets etc. He offers to go home with you and cook for you and your significant other. Now if...

lisaviews I haven't seen the show, but this really intrigues me. If he would be giving a cooking lesson, as well, I would probably totally go for it. Afterall, you can never have too much education, especially in the kitchen!

coffee or tea or soda

ruthinian @ruthinian (2309) • United States 28 Feb 08

I am not a coffee fan. I can live with it in fact. Unlike my hubby, he can't start the day without his cup of coffee. I drink tea. I like it. I like it simple, no sugar, no milk but sometimes I like it with lemon and honey. I...

lisaviews How about "All of the Above?" In my home, we have several different kinds of coffees, several teas, and several sodas, then add flavorings for waters. We are beverage junkies (oh! Did I forget the several types of hot chocolates?) lol! We can't live without...

Do you drink coffee at night?

RebeccaLynn @RebeccaLynn (2256) • United States 23 Feb 08

Normally I don't but lately in the evenings I find myself craving coffee so I have been indulging the craving. It doesn't seem to keep me awake as it does some people. Do you ever drink coffee at night?

Does coffee really keep you awake??

mssnow @mssnow (9484) • United States 28 Feb 08

I usually drink coffee in the morning. Not because it wakes me up but because it warms me up. Coffee does not keep me awake in the morning. If i drink it at night I can still go right to sleep. I guess caffeine doesn't affect me...

lisaviews I can drink coffee, or any other caffeinated beverage at any time, any day. The only effect it gives me is either taking away my headache (from lack of caffeine... lol!) or keeping it away! Yay!

Starting discussions when you won't be around to answer them...

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 26 Feb 08

I've noticed there are two major times I start discussions... when I first log onto mylot, or when I am just about to leave. If I start one when I first get here, it means I'll have a lot of time to comment on responses right away...

lisaviews As a former server, and former fast-food worker, I know what it is like to be appreciated and not appreciated. It doesn't matter where you are. "Please" and "Thank you" are always nice to hear. Usually, people within these jobs are already having a rough day,...

Gauging?

CheshireKat @CheshireKat (564) • United States 13 Feb 08

Someone Please HELP me with My Sticky Rice!

cynicalandoutspoken @cynicalandoutspoken (4725) • United States 4 Jan 08

I live in an area where you simply CANNOT buy short grain rice. Does anyone have a recipe for Sticky Rice or Sushi rice that they know will work with long grain rice? I have to drive 65 miles away from home to get sushi and it is...

1 response

lisaviews Sticky or sushi rice is definitely starchier and slightly sweeter than other rices. While making regular long grain rice one day, I took a little nap... just a couple of minutes longer than the amount of time the rice needs. I then added more water, and a...

lisaviews Cut out the main characters and phrases on the cards and use them in scrapbooking or to create new cards and gift tags. Another idea, one that I use... I make a shadowbox 3-D picture. Sometimes it is called 3-D Decoupage. Usually, it is done with like...

lisaviews For $.50, sure. Especially if they were also lacquer-coated, making them more durable. Modge-podge, whatever, just something to not make it so fragile and easily torn, as tissue paper is. That is really an incredible price for items from a craft fair. Usually,...
