Charlene Sally C. @PointlessQuestions (15397) • United States 1 May 13

I was just as disappointed as everyone else was when we got the news that mylot won't pay us anymore. But look here a minute. How many discussions have you answered that asked if you would be here if mylot didn't pay? Most of us...

Telling You It's Not Important

Amber @AmbiePam (93739) • United States 30 Apr 13

Don't you just hate it when something means a great deal to you and someone tells you it's not important? It's not just annoying it is often times hurtful. Of course, being that way is a great way for people to start to avoid...

RitterSport hi dear Ambie that really reminds me of the way my mother treated me when I announced I would get married. She didnt like the idea and didnt accept my future spouse at that time. So I was not to mention anything about it like bridal dress, church service and...

Hitting Rock Bottom

Amber @AmbiePam (93739) • United States 30 Apr 13

Have you ever hit rock bottom? What did that feel like? I hear the "rock bottom" phrase used a lot for addicts, specifically alcoholics. They always say they all hit rock bottom before getting help. Then I think of people who...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160879) • United States 30 Apr 13

I am trying to keep an open mind about MyLot. I will still check in from time to time to learn about my friends, if they are still here. On the other hand, I will be more active where I actually earn. I appreciate that they are...

RitterSport hi dear GG I will also stay here. Maybe I will not be as active not because they wont pay any more but because I dont have so much time on my hands now. My husband definitely needs a bit more of TLC and thats the situation over here so I will have less online...

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 12 Jan 13

If we are ordinary employees, it is not easy to just do anything we want. If our employers require us to render extra hours, we do so because oftentimes, we do not have any choice. However, when this happens, we tend to sacrifice...

If you ever happen to meet God, what is the first thing you will say to him?
