Does MyLot seem quiet to you?

The Horse @TheHorse (221757) • Walnut Creek, California 21h

It seems that MyLot has been quiet for the past few days. Have you noticed this? I see Hot Discussions, or whatever they're called, with less than 20 comments. I hope we are not fading into oblivion. Have you gathered the email...

A New Plan

Jim Bauer @porwest (94730) • United States 18 Jan

The fact of the matter is that I blog, and I write articles, and if you have followed me long enough around here on myLot, of course you'd be quite aware that 95% of any my "commentary" has to do with money and politics. It's the...

Lena Kovadlo I’ve never done shorts. Is that similar to reels on IG? Good luck with your new venture. Hope it works out.

Spring Cleaning

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (122254) • Gainesville, Florida 18 Jan

Today was forecast to be a gloomy, dreary and rainy day as the Polar Vortex starts making its way down into the Deep South, so I didn't really make any plans to do anything today. But I did wake up feeling energetic and motivated,...

Lena Kovadlo I should start going thru my closet again and getting rid of old stuff that I no longer fit into or like. And I’ve got many bags of clothes in the garage that have to get donated.

Clam Chowder Tonight

Jim Bauer @porwest (94730) • United States 19 Jan

My plan was to make up a batch of clam chowder last night for dinner, but after we dropped mom off after running some errands, and since my mom currently lives with my sister and brother-in-law, we wound up having a bit of an...

There's a bit of a funny back story to our finally pulling the plug on our cable. It was something that my wife and I had fully discussed for several months before I actually decided to do it. You see, my wife is the TV watcher....

We're Thinking YouTube TV

Jim Bauer @porwest (94730) • United States 17 Jan

So, as you know, I made the decision on Tuesday to cancel cable to save $175 a month, which was the portion of our cable bill that covered the TV portion. Our service ended Thursday evening. After several conversations, as well...

Lena Kovadlo Does YouTube TV allow you to watch live TV? We have FIOS now for TV + Internet. The bill is 200$ monthly, if it didn’t go up. That’s a lot.

What would you change about where you live?

Amber @AmbiePam (95223) • United States 17 Jan

I’d like to have brand new flooring in my bedroom and living room. Preferably not carpet, but since I’m on the top floor, they are always going to choose flooring that causes the least amount of noise. So carpet it will be. So...

Lena Kovadlo We got our floors done this past summer and already they are cracking in many places. And there are also cracks in walls and in moldings or above the moldings. We also did them this past summer. At first I couldn’t understand what the loud noise was but then...

Do you check the price of things you need?

Always smiling @allknowing (139129) • India 17 Jan

If I need something I will buy no matter how much it costs But not if I want something. One can do away with wants if the price is more than what one can afford to buy When a need is felt there is no point in finding out how...

Lena Kovadlo Even if I need something I will still look at the price. If it’s way overpriced I will not buy it. Unless I have no other choice.

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120804) • United States 17 Jan

Easy Spanish Rice

Jim Bauer @porwest (94730) • United States 16 Jan

I am sure that there will be elite connoisseurs who will entirely poo-poo my dish here, @NJChicaa being no exception who will probably send my entire idea into the annals of the worst, most vile concoctions to ever have molested a...

Lena Kovadlo The only Spanish rice hubby and I ever made was the one from a pack of Goya Spanish rice. And that was a long time ago. I think it’s rice with a seasoning packet and you just boil it together. It’s pretty good.

Do you edit your MyLot comments before you post them?

The Horse @TheHorse (221757) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Jan

I am not a very good typist. Plus my keyboard is worn down, so I can't always see what I am typing. And some of my keys work "sometimes." I tend to re-read my posts and comments before submitting them. But I still wind up with...

What A Disgrace

Jim Bauer @porwest (94730) • United States 16 Jan

Joe Biden's farewell address was a mumbling disaster in the worst way, and frankly, a very undignified way to leave office. What he did was essentially deny why they lost, touting a highly successful presidency that only exists in...

Down Fitty Cents

Jim Bauer @porwest (94730) • United States 11 Jan
