Tesla cyber truck explodes at Trump Hotel in Vegas.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (39118) 1 Jan

Very weird, indeed. I mean...how can that be a coincidence? I suppose it's possible, but with Musk in the picture with Trump on a daily basis, it seems unlikely. I guess time will tell. Someone died, and many were hurt. We are...

I've heard that whatever you do on the first day of a new year is what you'll do the rest of the year. If that's true, here's what I've done today. Cooked breakfast Cooked dinner (I'm not superstitious, but I did cook a pot of...

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...

My pretty Sushi

This is my pretty British short-hair cat. We buy her some outfit. We bought her when my mother died to cheer us up. Second day of January here. What's your plan for 2024?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (39118) 23h

Jim Bauer 67 or 69 would be way too cold for me. Heat is something, even as cheap as I am, I absolutely do not compromise on. It's my comfort and when it comes to cuts, I make them in other areas. It goes along with my motto I like to cite often, "save on the things you...

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (317459) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 23h

Good evening from cold Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. The temperature on my computer shows 23 F. When I woke up this morning, it was snowing, making it the perfect way to start the new year. I have so much to be thankful for today. A...

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (72394) • Daytona Beach, Florida 19h

Which is better approach on Mylot: Creating discussion initially or engaging in a few before starting your own?

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (2616) • India 17h

2025 is here and hopefully we will see more mylotters returning, joining and being active. Plus, a lot more discussions than what we had in 2024. I have been thinking about my approach on Mylot. Usually, I engage with a few...

Jim Bauer You create a discussion when something strikes your fancy to create one. At least for me that's the case. Obviously, from an earnings standpoint, interaction is key, so I think there's more importance in engaging with other people's discussions than creating...

And Winter Is Here

Angie @andriaperry (117257) • Anniston, Alabama 13h

Living in Alabama can be strange sometimes, the weather can be mild or a deep freeze. Most of the time winter comes hard in January and February. The last few days of December the temperature was nice and most people wore short...

My main goal

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...

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....

Jim Bauer It's not such a big thing now that I am retired, but I always saw the extra time off during the holidays as a double-edged sword. You had some breaks, but they were all filled with parties and gatherings and preparatory things to do. So, it was almost like you...
