How Dominos Pizza Made Money Today Thanks To MyLot

Jim Bauer @porwest (93102) • United States 12 Feb 21

Granted. It's Friday. You work all week and make your money. You cook all week because it's just the right thing to do and it saves money. Friday should be a treat night, right? It's only right. I had no intention,...

New Year's Eve

Jo Ann @akalinus (43448) • United States 31 Dec

We are hours away from 2025. I was wondering if anyone makes new year resolutions anymore. Have you made them in the past? How long did they last? Do you have special food on New Year's Day or is it just another macaroni day? Do...

Only 9 states will continue to tax Social Security benefits in 2025: Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia. My husband's 2nd cousin came over and worked on my to-do...

celticeagle @porwest ......Yes, sadly so. You must be very proud that he's almost in. Him and his clown cabinet. It's like watching SNL.

Yet another school shooting. But hey at least we have the 2A right?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120371) • United States 16 Dec

This is insane. This is sick. This is horrific. And this is normal in America because this country has a disgusting fetish with guns. The 2nd Amendment was written over 200 years ago when there were no such things as...

Kayla Tsukino @porwest It's like we never learn. Guns are the perfered weapon, sure. They are accessable, portable, and can do a lot of damage at a greater distance. Perfect if your goal is to kill as many as possible. But, at the end of the day, it's not going to stop...

Oh Crap, I Think My Chest Freezer Went to Crap!

Jim Bauer @porwest (93102) • United States 7 Oct

I went down tonight to grab some meat for dinner tonight and noticed everything in the chest freezer was thawing. What the hell? At first I entertained the idea that maybe we had a power out when we were on our camping trip that...

Kayla Tsukino @porwest That's true. On the one hand, the price you saw, would be the price you paid, period. But, you're right. It would affect prices across the board. I wish we could have a universal system, without it affecting everything, but until someone figures that...

The Rooster Clutch

Kareng @kareng (62600) • United States 20 Jun 21

Remember the eggs I hatched out at the end of April? Well those little buggers are big now and I am about ready to move them over to chicken coop with the adult chickens. It is looking like four of them are roosters, 1...

Kayla Tsukino @porwest I blame modorn pratices getting rid of tried and true methods. I was part of the no child left behind movment, which sparked a generation of people who skated through school.

Those of you who hate Trump, I've got a question....

April @thislittlepennyearns (63050) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 18 Nov

Now if you know me and how I have felt about Trump and all the accusations people have made against him, I try to the very best of my ability to approach each discussion with facts, not just random words plucked out of the air....

Kayla Tsukino @porwest Most will. And that's the sad thing. You might get that select few who think this is normal. Or, since you're not regurally buying some products, like cars and furnisher, that when you see the price hike you just are willing to chalk it up to...

Welcome to 2025!

Fleur @Fleura (30565) • United Kingdom 1 Jan

Hello everyone and welcome to 2025! I haven’t been here for a few days, things just got too busy. The disadvantage with the Christmas/new year holiday is that it’s so broken up it doesn’t really feel like a real holiday at all....

Do you all still use cups with saucers

vanny @vandana7 (100699) • India 31 Dec

Dad had a few...seriously... What is the purpose of those saucers...except to take a break during drinking the hot beverage, and prevent it from getting cold... At the best to use it like a coaster held in hand. Some...

vanny @porwest I chop onions, for curries or whatever, and saucers are used for placing those...and of course lids....easiest stuff to find. LOL

George decided to switch things up for New Years eve.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (72394) • Daytona Beach, Florida 31 Dec

After a long outing, George tends to do a lot of sleeping and goes out once a day. But, today he was feeling real good and decided he wanted to go twice. It's the warmest it's been so far, at near 80 so it was nice he felt good to...

Bob cooked

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (161157) • United States 1 Jan

He made a "roulade of beef" as the cookbook called it. It is pretty much the same as a German Rouladen. I made the gravy. We ate red cabbage and whole berry cranberry sauce with it, plus a baked potato. I am early putting...

Why is it Always in the Food?

Jim Bauer @porwest (93102) • United States 2 Nov

By their nature, dreams are often weird. But sometimes they of course take on a very different kind of weird, and usually when that happens, our first thought tends to be, "Must have been something in what I ate," and that often...

Lena Kovadlo @porwest I had a dream last night that I was doing something on my laptop and then it caught fire and the flame got high. I was yelling for my uncle. Wonder why lol.

OMG Shut the box game.

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120371) • United States 1 Jan

I had totally forgotten about it. My cousin was talking about it like a month ago when we were making ravioli. My sister and cousin kept talking about it and saying we always played it at a dive bar in Seaside and apparently we...

Accumulated $30 worth of coins

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44768) • Staten Island, New York 29 Nov

Whenever I get change in coins from shopping at a store, or find some on the street or elsewhere, I usually always take the coins and put them in coin wrappers. Once I accumulate a decent amount I go and deposit into the bank. I...

Kayla Tsukino @porwest Nothing. Complaining might be a good way to vent, but you don't always have control over anything. The only thing you can change is yourself.

Happy New Year Morning.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (72394) • Daytona Beach, Florida 1 Jan

Well, we made it into 2025. I am thankful that we have. The sun is out, and while the high will only be 65, our spirts are god. George made it to the couch. He's had his meds and I've got food gooing. All in all it's looking to be...

Why do people insist they can’t do things?

Fleur @Fleura (30565) • United Kingdom 10h

This post was inspired by another by @porwest Often, people just believe they can’t do something, and insist this is the case no matter what you show them. Some years ago we used to do surveys of marine wildlife as part of the...

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (39118) 23h
