I had to change the title here to fix the words "Cla$$ Clown"

much2say @much2say (57145) • Los Angeles, California 3 Feb

My mom and I take a tai chi (Chinese form of exercise) class for seniors. I would think that adults who take an exercise class do so because they actually want to workout their bodies. There is Karl - an older man we met who...

Jim Bauer I was absolutely, 100%, without a doubt THE cla$$ clown. As for the bad words on myLot...most of them are just stupid. lol

Jim Bauer I have read the book and see no reason it should not in the kid's section any more than Goosebumps has always been a popular book series for kids as well as mysteries like Nancy Drew or even Scooby Doo.

Isle Of Wight County Animal Services Officer Jessica Brock was on her way home from her work on Wednesday February 5 when she asked to help a man who drove a truck which hit an owl who was stuck on the front grill. Jessica...

Jim Bauer Every time I hear about one of these incidents, it floors me, because it happens more often than one might think. And the ONLY way the bird gets stuck there is if the car is in motion, usually at high speeds, and the fact that a bird can take a face plant into...

No More Mobile Phones ?

Kandase @Kandae11 (55734) 11 Feb

Those who are a bit older will remember the phone booth and sometimes having to stand in line just to make a simple phone call. Next we moved on to the mobile phone which has gone through several upgrades during the decades it...

Jim Bauer I guess this would be hard to imagine. But then, so many new things have come around in my lifetime. Eventually you get used to them and they become just "normal."

Some Thoughts On Change

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3244) • United States 15 Feb

Good morning, Beautiful people. Some of my connections here really got my mind going. Thanks for that by the way. I have been on this planet a mere thirty eight years. The changes I've seen in just that drop in the bucket of...

Jim Bauer I mean, I do think about some of the things we have now that we didn't have when I was younger. Cell phones, Internet, computers that fit on a desk, TVs you could lift without help, back up cameras and back up sensors, streaming, and the list goes on.

February's Future Looking Brighter

Kristen Howe @KristenH (33435) • Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio 14 Feb

Mylot friends, things are slowly turning around for me at work, while I'm still Goodwill for at least another week at this moment. I've spoken to Erin at HR for twenty minutes on Tuesday to talk about my accommodations I've been...

Guilty For Resting

lilacskies @lilacskies (2748) • United States 16h

I don't know about you, but I feel guilty for resting sometimes. For instance, if I rest for an entire day, I feel guilty about not spending that time doing something more meaningful. I am dealing with health problems as usual so...

Grocery, Here I Come.

rakski @rakski (132221) • Philippines 8 Feb

I haven't set my feet in a big grocery since November I think. So imagine we are stock depleted. My son is complaining there is no more snacks he can get in his part of the pantry. So finally we...

Jim Bauer I usually don't ever need to do a "major shop," since I often have to replace certain perishables, so I am in a store at least once a week and sometimes twice a week depending, and because I run my pantry like a business, I usually always have plenty.

Basmati Rice.

rakski @rakski (132221) • Philippines 4 Feb

Someone gave me a pack of basmati rice. I know it originated in India, am I right? This is my first time to cook this. I normally use Japanese rice or Jasmine Thai rice which are usually sticky and shorter circular grain. Do I...

She Wanted a "Barbarian Cream" Donut

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (64) • United States 14 Feb

So Elon now has a 13th child

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (121287) • United States 9h

I don't get it. I truly don't. Yes he had 5 children with his ex-wife. Fine I get that. But he has now had 8 more with girlfriends. Sure he is the richest man on the planet and can pay to support them but why keep having them when...

Jim Bauer Believe me, when you are the richest man on the planet, you DO NOT have trouble finding women to sleep with you. This is a known fact, if you have money, it doesn't matter how good you are in bed or how nice you are to look at. You WILL get virtually any woman...

My Colonoscopy Cost $6533.58

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (64) • United States 8h

But my part of that is ZERO. Back under the Obama Administration they determined certain preventive procedures and tests to be zero co-pay for patients including colonoscopies and mammograms. Also free diabetic monitors, test...

Jim Bauer It does seem rather high for such a simple, routine procedure. I think the entire medical system, insurance and all, is a huge scam, personally.

Trump can pretty much do whatever he wants. The law doesn’t apply to him.

S Adleman @Spatula11 (23) • Los Angeles, California 15 Feb

Twice he was impeached, he was convicted of 34 felonies and didn’t even have to pay a fine. The judge basically said “I’m not going to punish you” he told people to take down the White House because he lost. They were pardoned...

Jim Bauer The impeachments were bogus and regarding the 34 felonies, he broke no laws other than what the courts made up. Even ask liberal law scholars. All of them are confused what he was even convicted of. It was all for show and to give the news something to...

I am off to buy some eggs. How did you start today?

The Horse @TheHorse (223030) • Walnut Creek, California 15 Feb

I haven't bought eggs in awhile. I switched over to bagels and lox, or slices of ham, recently. I wonder how much Trump has lowered the price of eggs. I had literally been paying $6.00/dozen for eggs. I am not a Trump supporter,...
