Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122104) • United States 9h

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 43 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. Too cold! I’m at work as usual. It’s a busy day of talking about incomplete dominance and codominanve. I was planning...

Marie Coyle It's wet and cloudy, we had several thunderstorms in the night. Lots of thunder. There are so many warnings out, a person could just read/hear them and get nothing else done. Later it may get bad outside/tornadic activity, high winds, monsoon-like rains for...

It is raining out! How is the weather where you live?

The Horse @TheHorse (224886) • Walnut Creek, California 30 Mar

Usually, I can hear it when it rains. It's the sound of water moving through the gutters on my building. Last night, I did not hear anything. That means it must have been a really light rain. This morning, when I looked out my...

Marie Coyle It was down to 25 degrees last night. Today wasn’t warm, and the sun never bothered to make an appearance. It’s been raining and we had little hail stones for a bit about 30 minutes ago. Now it’s just windy. If we get hit with all the wind and storms tomorrow,...

A dusty car and going out for morning tea

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349583) • Rockingham, Australia 23h

Can you see the red dust on our friend's pale pink Toyota Yaris? We're house-sitting at the end of a dirt road and the shape of her car seems to pull the dust. Our friend has been with us for four days and it’s been good to spend...

Cozy things.

Judy Story @jstory07 (142851) • Roseburg, Oregon 21h

Things that keep you cozy. A nice warm blanket so soft to the touch. A cuddle with your spouse or a child. A nice fire place. How about hot chocolate or hot coffee. Your home all warm. A nice soft hoodie.

Marie Coyle Being cozy is such a good feeling. Warn fuzzy Jammie’s, super soft blankets, a hot drink, being home and warm. A good book goes great with that feeling, too.

Fibber me

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (63406) • Centralia, Washington 1 Apr

I didn't drive to the clinic this morning. I asked my friend if she could/would help me. Yes! 9 am sharp: she and her silver car were at my front gate. Doctor nurse examined my foot and leg and said I needed to take another...

Marie Coyle I am glad she drove, with you being shaky, driving wouldn't be good. Now please take good care of yourself! I hope the antibiotics do what they are supposed to do and your foot and leg heal quickly and well.

It has been a long time

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (162856) • United States 1 Apr

Bob has always been proud of being a blood donor, but his health has prevented it for over seven years. On impulse he went in to the blood drive yesterday and was able to give a donation. It made him feel really good. I was...

Marie Coyle As a parent that has a son who needs transfusions on a regular basis, I try to personally thank every blood donor I know. I wish that I could donate as well, but I have some medical issues that prevent that. Many thanks to you and Bob, from the heart. It...

Storm Prep

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (113778) • Marion, Ohio 23h

That's what I will be doing tomorrow. One sight I looked at says we could have gusts of 80 miles per hour tomorrow evening. So I want to do some extra prep to the chicken coop shed. It's not as heavy as it was with the saddles in...

Good Morning 4/1

snowy @snowy22315 (186959) • United States 1 Apr

Weird weather here, yesterday was actually almost hot with a bit of humidity. Today is on the chilly side. Then it gets hot again starting Thursday I think. However, I was just reading something that some of April is going to be...

Marie Coyle My daughter described our weather recently as ''bipolar'' and I do think she is right. It seems to often be really cold here, or storming, then back to cold. Last night it was down to 25 degrees again, it made it up to 45 but now sliding down again. Tomorrow...

1965 Songs: The Birds and the Bees

Four Walls @FourWalls (72925) • United States 1 Apr

My birthday is this month, and for the past few years I’ve been celebrating with countdowns of “milestone” birthdays of songs (40, 50, 60, and recently, 70 years old). Since I’ll be 65 I’m also doing songs that are now as old as...

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (113778) • Marion, Ohio 1 Apr

It's pretty but I know it's very cool outside. It was only 33 F when I got up. That is close to zero C. It's supposed to warm up some this afternoon. If it does I will do some things outside again. If not I will stay inside....

And the birthday card

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122104) • United States 1 Apr

A beef and Guinness pie

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349583) • Rockingham, Australia 31 Mar

I mentioned in a comment that our friend brought a beef and Guinness pie for us to eat and someone asked what it was. Pies are something I take very much for granted so I wasn’t sure what I needed to explain. Maybe it’s like an...

Marie Coyle I actually had this once in a pub type of diner in Chicago. It had really tender small chunks of beef, a rich sauce/gravy that did taste delicious, and it also had tiny little potato chunks in it. They did call it Guinness Pie. I am not a beer drinker, but I...

More Done Today.

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (113778) • Marion, Ohio 31 Mar

I have the cabinet almost empty now and the stuff packed away. I will try setting up at the farmers market maybe this year and see if some of it will sell. That would be nice. I placed some root starters on my rose bush...

Marie Coyle As usual, you got a lot done. I stayed here with my son for the last two days, we didn't go anywhere as he isn't feeling very well right now. I did go outside and tidy up the yard from all the wind, the stuff that blew past and decided to rest in the yard, and...

Back from dinner with my mother

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122104) • United States 31 Mar

My mother hasn't been in my apartment in like 4 years. My sister once called it a "$hithole". My mother's excuse has been that she has breathing problems and at one point had a collapsed lung. Funny that she has no problem...

Marie Coyle Of course, I don’t know your mother, but I don’t think I understand why she treats you the way she does. You are a daughter to be proud of and she should be happy about that! I’m glad you made it through the dinner, I know you were dreading that. Also glad you...

Does anybody here grow bush beans?

snowy @snowy22315 (186959) • United States 31 Mar

I have these bush bean seeds, but I have never grown these before I don't know a thing about them. I would appreciate helpful information about growing. I will probably plant sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Marie Coyle Bush beans have always been very easy for me to grow. Just plant in rows, they grow very quickly. They also keep producing beans for quite some time, which is nice. So good, I love them.

How far will you go for a prescription?

Amber @AmbiePam (96745) • United States 31 Mar

My sweet, long suffering father drove me to Tulsa this morning to pick up a prescription of mine. Yes, we drove 2 1/2 hours because it was the closest pharmacy that makes it. They said they can’t ship it because it has to remain...

Marie Coyle What a sweet picture of your incredible nieces! Well, I can sympathize for sure. I have driven so many miles to get meds for my son. It’s not cheap and it’s certainly not convenient!! I’m sorry you and your Dad had to make the drive, but at least there was...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122104) • United States 31 Mar

Marie Coyle This sounds like the pharmacy nightmares I go through for my son, but our problem is that the medications he needs often do not arrive when they are supposed to, and the pharmacies do not get them. Then it will be all good for a few months, then it starts up...

I am eating an apple the size of a baseball!

snowy @snowy22315 (186959) • United States 31 Mar

This is a really good, sweet apple. I don't usually eat apples this big. It is yummy though. Do you ever eat big apples? Do you enjoy them? This apple just has a lot of flavor.l I haven't had one this flavorful for quite awhile...

Marie Coyle I love a good, fresh apple, that's crunchy-crispy and flavorful. I've had a lot of varieties, there are so many good ones. If I have apples that are not super crunchy, they end up getting cooked into a dessert or applesauce. Fresh ones are the best!
