Candles! What is something inconsequential that just perks you up? I got a little spoiled because this past year I got some candles to review, and they were amazing. I know @NJChicaa has talked about her love of Yankee Candles. I...

The Bag is Packed and I'm Ready To Go

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (51) • United States 21 Dec

I leave in 22 hours for my trip to Asia and beyond. I feel as though I've thought of everything to pack yet not overpacked. The only thing is I have zero room left in the suitcase for souvenirs, which generally I don't buy, but...

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (51407) • Canada 21 Dec

Good morning myLot friends. It is a very cold start to this day today. We also had a bit of light snow fall over night. I like the cold, I prefer it dry, but with these temperatures that snow isn't going anywhere...

We pick up a Christmas gift from an Apple store

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342179) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Dec

The photo has nothing to do with the post. It’s another example of street art that I really love. When Vince needed a new phone which would record various health statistics, he passed his old one on to me. They are Apple phones...

MARILYN That street art is very unique. Looks like it took a lot of time to do. Those tags were a good idea from your son. Glad things went smoothly at the apple store.

Good Morning 12/20 What was the last mess you made?

snowy @snowy22315 (182227) • United States 20 Dec

Unfortunately, yesterday I had two moderate size messes. I spilled half a container of raspberries for one. They weren't on the floor long so I employed the 5 second rule. Just to be safe, I rinsed them this AM. The other one was...

Trial Period

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (51407) • Canada 18 Dec

I'm loving this temporary tax-free period that the Canadian government has extended on some of our purchases. In my province of Ontario, we pay 13% taxes. That certainly adds up. The majority of the items on the exemption...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342179) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Dec

MARILYN That is an interesting saying and not one I ever heard of before. Reading about your discussion it does make sense and it would be interesting if he responds and lets you/us know if it's common to Kenya or maybe if anyone else here is familiar with it.
