Giddy as Children

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (317041) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 19 Jan 23

This is the third snowman this year built by a couple of the residents. They built it before daybreak. Another resident added the scarf. I took these pictures outside with my slippers on. My feet got wet and cold, but it didn't...

Spring or winter cleaning?

Denise That's good for you! I am very bad at doing cleaning. I was proud of myself for doing laundry and cleaning one half of one drawer! I had to teach some flute lessons too, though.

Do you ever get frustrated by people who do not respond to comments on their MyLot posts?

The Horse @TheHorse (218807) • Walnut Creek, California 18 Jan 23

I sometimes leave questions on MyLot posts that are of interest to me. But not all MyLotters respond to comments on their posts. I admit that I am so obsessed with responding to comments (on my posts) that I sometimes have days...

Warning For Bone Chilling Mornings

CarolDM @CarolDM (203422) • Nashville, Tennessee 16 Nov 22

Today has been a good one. Sunshine all day. Only in the 40s F, but still a nice day. We have "bone chilling" mornings coming our way, according to the meteorologist. 20s for the low, for the next week at least. Funny how the...

On my computer. It is now in the trash. This is the cheap o mouse that came with my refurbished computer. Periodically in the past it has decided to scroll on its own. And it has presented a little icon that I describe as a...

Denise I never heard of that, but it sounds good! Pretty soon it is lunchtime so I will not have to think hungrily about it. My lunch is kind of boring (scrambled egg, broccoli, shredded carrots cooked with honey and pepper, on top of rice.)

Baby, It's Cold Outside.

Tammy @tammys85 (30066) • Baltimore, Maryland 15 Nov 22

Yep, it's pretty cold outside today. That's why I'm staying right here in the house, in my sweatpants, long sleeve shirt, and hoodie. I also have a hot chocolate (I ran out of sweetener for my coffee lol), and I'm trying to put...

Denise It's a bit chilly here too, and at school we keep windows partly open for ventilation. So I am in three layers at the moment. It's actually colder inside the concrete building than outside.

A concertina for our son - perhaps

Judy Evans @JudyEv (339930) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Oct 22

Our son in Ireland is a jazz musician and plays bass. He and his wife would like to buy a house but the banks won’t lend to an itinerant musician. They want borrowers to have a 9 to 5 type of job with a regular income. So he has...

Mountains Or Sea View?

M Cheung @Beestring (14554) • Hong Kong 9 Sep 22

Denise Definitely mountains! I love mountains. As you said, near the sea is humid and also can be smelly, as well as noisy if there are a lot of ships.

Xavier Bage @franxav (13836) • India 8 Sep 22

In Bankura brinjals and papayas are grown in adjacent lands

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (19469) 8 Sep 22

If two different crops are grown in adjacent lands, the fertility of the lands remain intact. So in Bankura the brinjals and the papayas are grown in adjacent lands.The big leaves of the plants protect them from high heat and...

Denise I had to look up "brinjal." For those who are wondering, it's eggplant or aubergine, depending on whether you are American or British. How do you eat it? I like it cut long or round and stir-fried in olive oil with soy sauce and sesame seeds.

A needed cooling trend here in the San Francisco Bay Area! How is the weather where you live?

The Horse @TheHorse (218807) • Walnut Creek, California 8 Sep 22

Happily, today was cooler than yesterday here in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. It only hit 109 F today, and the difference was refreshing. As of 7:30 PM, it is an almost chilly 95 F, but I think I will hit the...
