Max Crisp Upcoming retirement at 81? I’m guessing she is really working at that age because she wants to. I bet she doesn’t last a year.

It takes more than a village to change the world for the better.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (42163) 30 Mar

Honestly, it seems that they are everywhere. Angry, hateful, and mean people. At first, I thought it was my imagination. I've thought about this anger problem so many seem to have, for quite some time. It's not my imagination;...

Trump "couldn't care less" if his auto tariffs increase prices

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122080) • United States 30 Mar

This guy is so stupid. Not only does he not understand that tariffs are a tax and increase prices for Americans but he also doesn't understand how automobile manufacturing works. He said: "I couldn’t care less if they raise...

Max Crisp Apparently our prime minister and your president are negotiating a trade deal so the effects of the tariffs won’t adversely affect us. I think they are trying to maintain the ‘special’ relationship we have. I’ve never really understood what that was, but it...

Riding the Storm Out

Four Walls @FourWalls (72839) • United States 30 Mar

Hi, everyone. Instant update time. The other Louisville myLotter, @LooeyVill , is on a cruise right now, so she’s missing all the fun right now! We just cleared a tornado warning here in Louisville. As of right now (about...

Max Crisp Is it normal to go on a cruise to avoid the storms? Sounds great if you can afford it. Hey, I hope you are safe. I mean, you haven’t even posted the #1 for ‘55 and ‘85. Things must be bad. Do you have a cellar as your safe...

Cute as a Button

Jim Bauer @porwest (98526) • United States 28 Mar

I can't quite pinpoint what it was about Björk, but from the moment I first saw her in a music video on MTV in the 80s, she captivated me. Though I don't recall the specific video—this wasn't the one—I remember feeling rather...

1985 Top Ten Songs: Road to Nowhere (#2)

Max Crisp Oh wow! Thanks for the shout out, and yes, I consider Scots as Brits, but not all Scots agree with me! You’d better ask Mr Byrne how he feels about that. Road to Nowhere was their biggest hit over here, but my favourite is Once in a Lifetime....

Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122080) • United States 30 Mar

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 44 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is just 51. No open windows today. I've been awake since 4am. I have no idea why. I just went with...

Max Crisp Good morning! The clocks sprang forward an hour here overnight, so we’ve lost an hour already. It’s also Mothers Day here today, but my mother is, sadly, no longer around. And on that cheery note, I’ll bid you good day.

We picked an aubergine today

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349379) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Mar

The photo shows an eggplant that we picked this morning from the house-sit vegetable garden. We’ve had a lot of roma tomatoes off the bushes but this is the first eggplant, which are also known as augergines. They are a member of...

Max Crisp Aubergines are not a ‘go to’ veg for me. I tend to use them as an alternative to courgettes if they are on special offer, or I just fancy a change. All I’ve ever done with them, is fry them on a griddle or roast them in the oven with a decent drizzle of...

My new crocs

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349379) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Mar

I wrote about going to the op (thrift) shop and buying a new-to-me jigsaw. I also picked up this pair of Crocs. I have crocs at home but they’re black and don’t have holes so my feet get quite sweaty in them. I don’t really need...

Max Crisp Have you won the lottery, Judy? I’m sure it’s not that long ago you bought some new crocs. I don’t like the ones with holes in as dust and muck seems to get into them too easily. Nice colour though!

1985 Top Ten Songs: Take Me Home (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (72839) • United States 29 Mar

Oh, here’s a surprise. Maybe? Maybe not. This song is 40 years old now, which may surprise you. I hope it’s not that big a shock that it’s showing up on a list…and so high on the list at that! Here’s today’s 1985...

Max Crisp It’s great to see so many Brits have made it into your top ten. When Peter Gabriel left Genesis, Phil stepped up as lead singer and more than filled his shoes. As a solo artist he sang some cracking songs. It’s hard to watch him now, looking...

I dislike flowers being shredded

vanny @vandana7 (101570) • India 29 Mar

Flowers are beautiful...whether symmetrical or not... Out here, they shred them, as if they can make something more beautiful than god. Such shredded flowers are then laid on path of dignitaries (read politicos) or actors or...

Max Crisp I loved the drink Dandelion and Burdock as a kid. I’m sure they must have to crush the flowers to make a juice out of them, but not purely for decoration. We do however, have many talented flower arrangers who can create wonderful decorations with flowers and...

Max Crisp I’ve never heard of this cheese, so don’t think it’s available in the UK? I love most things that come out of Italy, but I think I’ll pass on his one. I love cheese, but we Brits produce enough good varieties to satisfy my needs.

We had a wild and crazy night here.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (42163) 28 Mar

Max Crisp Our weather has been quite benign recently. I’m hoping to experience the partial eclipse this morning, but it’s a bit cloudy. Power is often lost in the UK during storms, mainly due to fallen trees. I don’t know why they don’t keep the power lines clear of...

A handsome young buck!

Max Crisp That’s the problem with creating PINs and passwords: you need a good memory. Or a notepad. We have to do our tax returns by the end of January for the previous year. Our year runs from 6th April to 5th April. I’m not sure why as it doesn’t make sense, but...
