Why Do People Have to be Soooo Loud?

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (90473) • Arvada, Colorado 26 Mar

I am very quiet spoken. It is my nature. Hearing these loud people outside my window unnerves me. I mean it is what it is, but are you a loud or quiet person?

Sissy15 I'm typically quiet but over the years I've had to learn to speak up louder because my mom is hard of hearing. I also work with kids which requires me to speak over a lot of screaming children at times. Now I feel like I'm either quiet or loud and there is no...

Do you have big ears?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (342105) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Feb

MyLotter @sissy15 wrote about her son having big ears and how cute it is/was. Her son is now growing into his big ears. I reminded me of our son. When he was about four years old, he overheard something we said to each other, and...

Sissy15 Very cute, and I love the picture. Kids are so funny sometimes. At least your son didn't get upset about it. I'm glad my son never did either. When I showed him one of his pictures he looked at me and said "I looked like an elephant!"

New day, new month, new year... same old routine.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (71773) • Daytona Beach, Florida 1 Jan

Today marks two months since my husband, George, had his stroke. In that time he's come a long way with words, walking, and just about everything. He'll need addational therapy in order to get behind the wheel and into a normal...

Sissy15 Sorry to hear about your husband. When you commented I didn't realize it was your husband in the hospital. I have been a bit absent lately so I don't know what is going on with a lot of mylot folks. I am glad to hear he has made a lot of progress and pray he...

For a change, is there any movie you would actually want remade?

Amber @AmbiePam (93898) • United States 25 Aug 23

Most of us don’t like or appreciate the constant remakes of movies that were perfect the first time around. I mean, did we really need a newer version of the classic movie, “Psycho”? However, maybe there was a movie that had a...

Sissy15 I wish I could answer this but I'm honestly not sure. I know sometimes I go into remakes hesitantly and once in a great while I get surprised by how great it is.

Movie Reviews

celticeagle @celticeagle (168269) • Boise, Idaho 14 Aug 23

I watched two pretty good movies last night. The first one was Dark Places(2015) with Charlize Theron that I found on Paramount+. She plays the sole survivor of a murder that killed her mother and two sisters. She was eight years...

Sissy15 I'm glad you got to visit your friend. When you become an adult you sometimes lose contact with a lot of friends or you aren't able to see each other as much. I don't know how many times my friends and I have all said we should get together only for it to...

It's bread time again. And it has a heavenly aroma!

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (38709) 15 Aug 23

It's screaming at me, that bread is. It wants to be cut and eaten right now, I just know it. With butter, of course. I can't. First, it's too warm to cut correctly, and secondly, I do not need a slab of warm buttered bread at...

Sissy15 that looks good. I have almost no patience with things like that. Depending on what it is I made sometimes I just cut into it hot or not and don't care how messy it'll look because it doesn't change the taste. Sometimes I'll let it cool but a lot of times I...

Do you find certain foods and beverages just go together?

snowy @snowy22315 (182193) • United States 7 Aug 23

Sissy15 Sometimes you just have to force yourself to drink water. I'm not a fan of it but will drink it when I need to. I don't like the water flavoring for water so I just suck it up and drink the water. All liquids have water and can keep you hydrated it's just not...
