Mothers' Day and I've been pondering

youdontsay @youdontsay (3497) • United States 8 May 10

How many of us who have adult children wonder how the kid's lives would be different if we had done this or not done that? Not looking for a guilt trip, just marveling how one step in either direction can effect not just our...

I'm really tired of politics!

youdontsay @youdontsay (3497) • United States 24 Mar 10

All I'm hearing are negatives and hate-mongering. I know that is because those are the louder voices and not necessarily because there are more negatives than in the past. It is so easy to come up with why something won't work...

youdontsay @youdontsay (3497) • United States 18 Mar 10

Auto accident

youdontsay @youdontsay (3497) • United States 18 Feb 10

I learned today that Whirlpool is closing it's plant in the U.S. and building a new one in Mexico. This is disappointing news. I've always thought Whirlpool was an all-American product that we could be proud of. I feels like a...

So who else is tired of snow already?

youdontsay @youdontsay (3497) • United States 8 Jan 10

Snow is lovely . . . to look at, to photograph, for kids to play in. But I'm old and disabled and even four inches of snow is too much for me. I've not been out of the house in 36 hours and it looks like there is little hope...

Do you ever wish you could just push pause

youdontsay @youdontsay (3497) • United States 15 Dec 09

and stop time for a little while? There just seems to be more to do than there is time to do it. I know some of it is the holiday festivities - shopping, baking, etc. - and it is positive. But even positive events can be...

America the Paranoid

youdontsay @youdontsay (3497) • United States 9 Sep 09

Have you noticed how fearful the American people seem to be these days? We don't seem to trust anyone and suspect everyone. It really has gotten out of hand in the politics of the time - Health Care debate and reaction to the...

Anyone in Russia on MyLot?

youdontsay @youdontsay (3497) • United States 9 Jul 09

I saw on the news that the Russian people barely noticed that President Obama was in their country. There wasn't much in their media so I wonder how many even knew he was there. I was wondering how much communication the...
