Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 1 May 16

Ok. What's up with guys dozing everywhere you look? No, not in beds or reclining chairs where one might expect to see someone sleeping. I'm talking about in class, in church, in the audience of a play. One question: Why? Ok. Two...

As some of you may remember about me, I work at a library. I started out mainly dealing with circulation and inter-library loan duties. This includes many things, by the way: New subscription cards, faxes, copies, a myriad of...

Why is the strip across the top of this page cutting across my info and avatar?

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 28 May 13

I keep feeling like I need to scroll further, but that's not working. Seems a rather awkward placement. Even the title of this post is chopped in half because of it. ......

Lots of custom orders

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 3 Jul 12

It seems that no one wants to purchase anything "as is" in my etsy shop anymore. While I don't mind doing custom orders, it sure would be nice to just sell what has already been stitched. I'm spending a lot of time in...

What should a teenage relationship look like?

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 8 Jun 12

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 15 May 12

I cooked something all day long in the crockpot today. The smell was wonderful. It was very simple: package of frozen chicken breasts, a bottle of bbQ sauce, a can of crushed pineapple, a chopped red pepper and chopped onions. It...

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 14 May 12

Do you ever have one of those days? Just last week, I had a situation with honey bees. I had to call in several "experts". I discussed the situation dozens of times that day, repeating it for anyone who wanted to know what was...

We can't prove it

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 16 Apr 12

A woman at work has been periodically stealing cash. We all know she's the one doing it although it cannot be proven since no one has seen her actually stealing. Even our manager is aware of it. Other people have been getting...

Rocketj1 @rocketj1 (6955) • United States 30 Mar 12

I DO NOT understand some people. A fellow mylotter has posted about having been physically abused recently by her husband. She really wants to know what to do about her situation. What really surprised me about the comments on her...
