As you may remember, Fridays are the days my husband and I have lunch at Texas Roadhouse. We were the third couple in the door but the place was already very loud. You see, there was a group of about 100 6-8 year olds having a...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Nothing more disheartening than the combo of cold food and rowdy kids in a restaurant. No child of mine ever got off their seat or shouted in a restaurant - it IS possible to bring children up correctly. Unfortunately I would never take my unruly,...

Yesterday was the 5-month mark of my going back to the gym and watching my weight. I'm happy to say that I've lost 30 pounds during this past 5 months. I've still got more to go, but I'm very pleased with my progress. My gym...

While it may run the gamut on the rock side of these two lists of my 100 favorite charted songs, you have to admit that the country side has been pretty consistent. No Garth, no Shania, and a lot of songs from before I was born....

Or at least it's probably going to be. Did I tell you that I'm in a walking boot on my right foot? The doctor said I have tendonitis from high-impact pressure on the treadmill an hour a day for 5 months and also from my recent...

A pair of underpants, a pair of glasses, yet in each instance just one item is referred to, complete and indivisible under God, even to those who deny the existence of such as guarantor of the unity of a pair of underpants or...

It's 5 am where I live. It's cold. 34F outside. Not sure what the temperature is inside. Hubby and I play a "game" where we don't turn on the furnace until we absolutely have to and the goal is to wait until at least...

I know at least one or two MyLotters have also written other things. Now I’m wondering how many members have written a book? And was it published – if so how, where and by whom? Did you send the manuscript to a publisher in the...

Jim Bauer @LooeyVille Speaking of traditional publishing, I wonder how many of today's writers have experienced the whole process of writing manuscripts, sending them off to publishers with SASEs and waiting for rejections before someone finally said yes. lol

Jim Bauer @LooeyVille I'd like to get my hands on that thriller/horror one. My alter ego, Ivan S. Graves, would be very interested in that.

If we do get it, which it's forecasted at a 55% chance that we will, it'll be our first snow of the season. It won't stick or accumulate or anything, it'll just be small short snow showers as I understand it. It's currently 38F...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville We got some today. I had to do a grocery shop and remained vertical the entire time as I manoeuvred myself with great circumspection across the icy car park at the supermarket.

Isn’t English weird? The past of teach is taught, but the past of preach is preached, but not praught, as you might think it ought to be. And I just came across another linguistic oddity. The white powder descended from the sky...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville If I think I’ve said something incorrectly I feel so incomfartable. Once, in polite company, I passed a comment about an octopus’s testicles rather than his tentacles.

My husband is still not calling me in the evening. Maybe it's due to the sundowners. I like to see how he is and how he's doing in physical therapy. My medical alert pendant has arrived; and we (my husband's 2nd cousin) will be...

It will be my first time visiting any of these four places. I leave on Sunday, December 22nd and won't return until Saturday, January 4th. It's a very long flight to India. First I have to get 1 hour to Chicago. Then 2 hours...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville I don’t envy you the long flying hours or the extreme pollution of Delhi’s air. Take a mask. I leave on December for Edinburgh then Manchester. Once I get back the planning for 2025 trips begins in earnest.

Today is the first time I’ve actually felt cold this winter, and the first I’ve worn a sweater outside. The temperature has dropped to 4 degrees, the sky is piercingly blue and the strong, cold shafts of light coming like arrows...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville Cold is to be preferred. When we were in Athens in Sept/Oct it was in the 90s and that didn’t do at all.

Today was a day when a touch of constipation would have been appreciated- my toilet is blocked and cannot be used. So my wife and daughter have taken themselves out for the day to spend my money in cafes and shops while I sort the...

You may have heard that when you sail on a cruise ship, the cabin steward will take a towel and fashion it into a cute animal and place it on your bed when he makes up your room. Well last week's cabin steward must have had a...
