My Mom Fell Outside in the Snow and Almost Died

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 2 Jan 16

Tuesday morning was icy and snowy here and my Mom made the unwise decision to go outside to feed a stray cat. She fell and was on the ground for a long time. We have no idea of how long. By the time I found her, her body temp was...

How do I contact support at MyLot?

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 28 Dec 15

One of my buddies here can't log in, so he asked me to contact support and ask them to email him. I can't remember how to do that. Guess I was gone longer than I thought.

Oh my, the Christmas retail season just about did me in. Everyone was super nice, I just wasn't used to the hubbub. I've missed hanging out with you guys and hope that everyone is doing well. We are getting ready for our first...

Overpowering Smells at Kmart Gave Me a Huge Headache

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 21 Nov 15

For people who don't know the US, Kmart is a low-end retail store that has prices that are lower than WalMart in my area. I went there for some stuff like Pinesol and mouse traps. The place had an overwhelming collection of scents...

Weekend Off from Bricks and Mortar World

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 21 Nov 15

I don't have to work at the shop this weekend, so I can get caught up at home a bit. The job itself isn't that hard, but I have to figure out how to compensate for 30 hours away. While it's nice to have some money coming in, it's...

My First Day at My New Job Went Well

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 19 Nov 15

I just hung out with the owner and learned about the register and stockroom. I already knew how the shop was laid out and where things are. There was a steady stream of customers, but I knew most of them and they were very nice....

While I was out running errands yesterday, I was offered a job in a local shop. I haven't worked in the bricks and mortar world for years, but I really would like to see some steady income. It's 30 hours a week in the afternoon,...

So Has the Bubblews Crowd Arrived Yet?

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 18 Nov 15

I have been out all day. I was thinking about MyLot and Bubblews and wondering if the holdouts had arrived yet. I'm not seeing it, but perhaps I am not looking in the right places. There are many that I hope will find their way...

$35 Bucks to Sit on Santa's Lap? So Much for the Christmas Spirit

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 17 Nov 15

That's what a New Jersey mall tried to do this year. After all the bad press that followed, they changed their minds. Usually the kids get to visit for free, then the mall rakes it in by charging that much for the slick pics that...

My husband and I are 61 and we don't have kids. One of our biggest fears has been what would happen if we can no longer drive. Well here come cars that will drive us places. I am so excited. I think it will help us keep our...

Instant Earnings vs. Future Passive Income

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 15 Nov 15

It's always a debate in my head. Do I write for a content mill or client and make money right away or do I invest time at a place like Wizzley or make YouTube videos where there is hope for passive income in the future. (Of course...

Why Doesn't Everyone Wear Sunglasses to Drive?

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 13 Nov 15

Our major east-west road was closed this morning because of a five-car accident. The police blame solar glare for it. If you knew that you were going to be driving into the sun wouldn't you wear sunglasses? I know that...

I am in my second month and just hit $10.27. I think that I'll do even better, now that I'm hitting my stride. It took awhile to figure out how to fit MyLot into my day and how to find everyone efficiently. I do try and respond...

We Really Weren't Serious about Wanting a Dead Body

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 12 Nov 15

This morning Mom and I were out making the rounds and talking about what would help increase our video traffic (she's becoming quite interested in making money online). We facetiously said that if a dead body washed up on one of...

Very Gross Ad on the Top of MyLot Page Just Now

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 12 Nov 15

I know it's not MyLot's fault, but I'm tired of gross pictures on the ads - here and elsewhere. This one was titled What happens before you have a heart attack and the accompanying pictures was just gross. I actually used the "x"...

So Why do We Need Christmas (Holiday) Cups, Anyways

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 12 Nov 15

In full disclosure, I never go out for coffee. There will never be a day when I stand in line for 20 minutes to spend $5 on latte. So perhaps I don't understand the Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts culture. But why do they need to...

Sandwich Marina Maintenance

Nelda Hoxie @NeldaHoxie (1381) • United States 10 Nov 15

I always try and find something for Mom to watch while I go out for a walk. It's started to get very quiet at the Sandwich Marina, so I was happy that there was a big barge with a tall crane there this morning. It looked like they...
