Anne made a needle sharpener (Coffee grounds?)

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29413) • Eugene, Oregon 28 Feb 18

Anne sews a lot, sometimes through newspaper, cardboard (on this last project) and thick layers of cloth too. That is a lot of wear on needles. She happened to mention yesterday that she had misplaced her needle sharpener....

Priscilla King I've never put that much wear on a needle...but have on a paring knife, after 38 years. Sharpened it on tinfoil. I wouldn't have expected coffee grounds to work; now I'll have to try this.

I Am Ashamed To Say I Lost My User's Name!

Gitara @Gita17112016 (3611) • Trinidad And Tobago 22 Jan 18

I Am Ashamed To Say I Lost My User's Name! Hello everyone. I am embarrassed to say that I couldn’t remember my User’s name to sign in to this site. The name itself was okay but the numbers is what was so troublesome! So, Happy...

Priscilla King Definitely not "Like"! I don't know you, only stumbled across this because an old e-friend left a comment on it, but am glad your family survived. Hmm...I don't plan to visit this site daily, but will "following" help the teeny-weeny payout grow faster?

Cats and Dogs

Jabo @jaboUK (64354) • United Kingdom 21 Jan 18

Cats seem so fond of computers in front of the screen is their seat, they walk all over the keyboard such fun when they hit that 'delete'! They think we humans are servants to pander to their slightest whim. They can't resist...

Well Now! My First Nineteen Cents Already!

Donald Pennington @Iquestionitall (229) • United States 15 Jun 17

Thank you, my fellow MyLotters! (Is that what we call ourselves? Help me with the terminology. I'm lost!) I just checked the earnings thing (been here under two hours) and I'm seeing there's already a total of (stomps hoof)19.4...

Is money the only reason women would marry men shorter than them?

Winterishere @thedevilinme (4128) • Northampton, England 23 Jan 18

You never see an ugly short rich woman with a beautiful tall poor man but you often see ugly short rich guys with young tall beautiful women. I think rich guys are sad who decide to compromise on love to be with a trophy woman...

Priscilla King I'm 5'4" so it's not been much of an issue...My Significant Other is 6'4". Guys who didn't make the cut have said things like "Just because I'm not 7' tall." Sorry, that's not the reason. If I knew of a man who was 5'2", drug and disease-free, started out poor...

In Limbo

maezee @maezee (41988) • United States 23 Jan 18

I hate this feeling of being "in limbo" with this prospective job I had mentioned earlier. I took a second drug test, filled out an application for backgrounds and got fingerprinted. I have however not heard from the HR lady since...

Some folks don't like cats

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (61133) • Centralia, Washington 22 Jan 18

Adolph Hitler hated cats. The photo shows Sonny James. I've written about him. He's my photo persona. He is pretty photogenic. Or maybe I am just prejudiced. Those who know me know that I treasure this silly guy....

Priscilla King People who hate cats tend to be sociopathic. Hitler was sociopathic (and also on drugs) and should only have died about twenty years earlier than he did. Living cat haters should get help before they build up to attacking humans, and definitely get themselves...

No Communication For A Week

Firefly @cttolledo (5454) • Legaspi, Philippines 22 Jan 18

Last night I made a declaration of" No communication" for a week or more at my own discretion, starting today. I'm not sure if what I am doing is right, but that's the thing came in my mind as best solution to give each other a...

I Am Not Who I Thought I Was!

Deborah-Diane @DeborahDiane (40294) • Laguna Woods, California 21 Jan 18

For Christmas, my husband and I bought ourselves DNA testing from Ancestry.com. Yesterday, we received our results, and they were not quite what I expected. I was always told that my father was French-German. My mother believed...

Priscilla King Anyone whose ancestors have been in the U.S. very long is likely to discover a wild mixture of DNA. Actually I'm aware of some fairly mad mixture even in Britain--before discovering DNA they counted people as being "pure" anything by tracing the male line of...

Angie @andriaperry (116936) • Anniston, Alabama 22 Jan 18

Priscilla King Oh, the plague of the "face readers." They tend to think I look kind when what's actually going through my head is "how to edge away before a conversation starts," and look "fierce" when my interest finally is engaged. The mere thought of someone trying to...

John Roberts @JohnRoberts (109846) • Los Angeles, California 23 Jan 18

Love or hate this relic from the disco era, “Saturday Night Fever” was a monstrous hit album topping Billboard 24 consecutive weeks and going 16 times platinum in sales. It remains one of the biggest sellers in history and best...

Priscilla King I wasn't much of a Bee Gees fan, didn't like the portrayal of women in "Saturday Night Fever," and don't care much for Travolta either, but I did like the sound track and the song "Night Fever." We actually brought in records and danced to it in gym...one...

The Topic Was Socks, or Discussions

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160677) • United States 22 Oct 16

I come to you from @Bluedoll's discussion of the worst kind or discussions, plus empty benches and socks. I think many of us got stuck on socks, and that is okay. Her discussion made me think of a few things, such as the worst...

Priscilla King My favorite method? Buy cheap Chinese-made socks, wear'em around the house as house slippers for a week, then compost them. (If still intact, they'd be guaranteed to fall apart in the laundry, so why bother.) There's a local woman who makes a living selling...

What do Gremlins most often hide in your house?

The Horse @TheHorse (218889) • Walnut Creek, California 6 Aug 17

Priscilla King Ought to be funny enough to be worth watching, if I weren't in a public place with sound disabled (I almost always am). My Significant Other was a Green Beret in Vietnam and up-voted John Wayne's portrayal of one...and I like Goldie Hawn (a fellow knitter whom...
