I’m back, hiatus and new identity ;)

Kamuigan @Kamuigan (23) 18h

Figured I’ll give MyLot another go. I’m a longtime member from the old days and deleted my account a while back to prevent in-real-life people from identifying me since many knew the username I used for everything and...

Marie Coyle I am glad you signed up with the Medical Guardian, that will be a good safety measure for you. I can't believe Life Alert has hiked the price up so high. That's just ridiculous. If you are trying to call him during the day, and not getting anyone at the...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339431) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Nov

We sometimes catch part of a TV show while we are waiting for one we always watch. It is Long Lost Family. Some of these stories are very harrowing. One we caught was about KT Tunstall who has quite a distinguished musical...

Marie Coyle I have watched that show before and it's emotional...whether they find their family or not. I did enjoy the stories, and the reunions that take place, too.

Good Morning - Update

Surprise! I'm back for the moment. Life has been chaotic for the past two months. You might get a hint of what's going on from the picture above. I'm moving. I know where. I just don't know when or what my apartment number will...

Marie Coyle It's good to know you are OK. And, wow...busy, too! Moving is SO hard. I said the last time I moved would be the last time, but of course, we never really know what life will bring. It sounds like you do have it all under control. Good job on the continued...

Marie Coyle Do you know what time of day he is the most lucid? I do know Sundowners can hit as early as 3-4 pm and last for hours. It can be worse on dark and dreary days. Sunlight helps but it’s rather cold to go outside looking for it, and I remember you saying he...

Making bean soup in the instant pot

snowy @snowy22315 (180361) • United States 13 Nov

I haven't used the instant pot for ages, but it is really great for making bean soup as it softens the beans in about 20 minutes. Something that takes hours or overnight if you are soaking them. This device isn't a true instapot...

Marie Coyle I don't have an Instapot. I make bean soup and such in my crock pot most of the time, it makes the beans so tender and doesn't require constant watching like the stovetop does.

Marie Coyle It’s very sad that your nephew made the choices he did. I am so sorry about the family turmoil. I am also very sorry for your family’s loss. The wife will have a hard go of it all with that many children and one being a brand new baby. What a tragedy.

Question: Is it improper for people to check their phones while eating?

Shavkat @Shavkat (139672) • Philippines 12 Nov

I am guilty of doing this every mealtime. One of the reasons is that I am always late to eat at home. As a parenting concern, I randomly advised my niece not to do this. I cannot help but hold back because I also do the same...
