Well yesterday DanaMark hit his 500 mark and I mentioned I was going to be catching up soon. I didn't think it would be this soon though...and in an appropriate gesture I made my 500th mark on DanaMark's discussion. I am sooooooooo happy! I have been looking forward to cutting and pasting copy since I started here. All of you have been very instrumental in making me feel like a full fledged Mylotter the last couple of months.
After being away due to illness and now joining the 500 club I feel very uplifted and want to thank all of you who provided such interesting topics and responses...that helped me get here. Now it is onwards and upwards to the next goal of 1,000 clicks. Being here is great fun and I missed it when I was under the weather. Good to be back!!!!

That is a good idea...adds more interest to those who drop by as well. I see you are advancing towards your 3,000th post...that will be something to really WOO-HA about!
Thanks for caring enough to help me celebrate something I have been wanting since I started. Cut, paste, spell-check...yes, I am a happy camper!

Congrats!!!! It is a cool feeling when reaching a mile stone here at Mylot.
They kicked that 500 rule in when I was at 400 and had been pasting, that was a pain to say the least, to have it and then have it taken away. I was a happy camper when I hit that 500 mark.
Well Super Congrats again and I can't wait to repeat myself when you hit 1000! :oD

Congratulations on reaching the 500 mark. I know how excited you are. Soon you will make it to the 1000 mark. I haven't really used the perks that comes with the 500 mark. But every now and then I'll upload a picture to my responses. Welcome back.

Congratulations!I'm so happy for you. Reaching the 500 mark is no easy task. You're one of the few members here whose posts are meaningful and really helpful. I've only been here for 2 weeks and I've seen more than 500 posts that are sometimes meaningless. It's true that some members just make a post for the sake of raising up the number of posts they have. They don't even care if what they post have some sense.
I hope you'll believe me when I say that I'm glad that I stumbled upon your post. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. You're one of the few members who really makes sense.
Again, congratulations!!!^_^

Well, how nice to have you back. It is frustrating when the internet goes down and we can't get our 'fix.' Hope everything is good now. I missed not being around as much when I wasn't feeling well. Thankfully all I have now is a somewhat annoying cough...but otherwise I'm pretty much back to normal...at least normal for me. Sometimes my view of the world doesn't always fit with others...but that is what makes life interesting...right?
I value your friendship and have been checking our your topics and responding to them too. Your input, encouragement and open authentic appreciation for this sharing circle makes Mylotting a very enjoyable experience. I want you to know that your willingness to openly share how you feel means a lot to me...thank you..friend. Wishing the warmest regards to you and yours as well.

Hello again my friend! I've been gone for 3 days here and no thanks to our local internet provider. We had no internet connection for 3 solid days!
Anway, thank you. ^_^
I have several friends dating back from college days but only two of them responds back to my letters, if they have the time.
So, basically, I've got no friend to talk with and have meaningful "conversations". Being a stay-at-home mom can make me crazy sometimes. I'm really glad that I found this site. The pay is just an extra bonus for me, because I've found new friends! And one them is you.
God bless you Perspectives and your family.

Well hello, thank you for the contratulations...and welcome. Good on you for receiving your star...and a red one at that. Your are obviously doing a lot right to be that high with 127 posts. Mylot members are very supportive of Newbies..and it doesn't take long at all to learn what different things mean.
I have found the best way to make solid contacts is to try to do a response...for every response...expecially when people stop by your site. When people regularily show up here I make a point of responding to their disucssions.
Good luck in Mylot Land...I love it here and hope you will too.

Thanks for the 'good for you!' But I know you are right...looking at your count and others who are pushing the 3,000 count....there is a long, loooong way to go. However, now I can cut and paste the upward count from here on will be less pressing and more relaxing.

Yay, congratulations! I hope that you're feeling much better now!
It's so hard to believe that you're still so new, in a way, because you've made such a big impact with some of your discussions and responses already. It's so nice to see great Mylotters like you reaching those benchmarks and sticking around! =)

So wishing you every success with your goals and time lines. I am sure you will get there...you sound ready to make it happen!

First of all congrats.
You can't be sure that you have crossed 500 mark with a particular discussion as you wrote.Thi is because mylot administrators check out your response whether your entry is appropriate one or not.In addition to this they see whether the topic is a unique one or not.Well on your way you should have answered to such kind of topics which are definite to be cancelled.
Anyway you should have made it!.Congrats

Thanks for your congratulations. I notice you fairly new here and almost to your first 100 and hopefully a good rating. So I offer my good cheer to you for your efforts and welcome you.
I am not sure what was a bigger thrill for me the 100 mark or finally joining the 500 club. I quess they were equal...just a little different. The 500 really seals the feeling of being a full fledged member and I like the cut and paste abilities.
Anyway I am sorry that I do not quite understand what you mean about whether my entries are appropriate and topics that might be cancelled. If you stop back I'd appreciate a little more information if you'd care to offer it. Anyway I plan to enjoy the feeling of accomplishment in the moment..if something changes I'll deal with it then. Happy Mylotting!

Heatiest congratulations to you on reaching the milestone of 500. Now you can enjoy the facility of using copy paste in replying or starting discussions which turns out very helpful in relaxing out and craeting a healthy traffic on MyLot. Good luck in starting same quality discussions as you have already did. Keep up the good work.

How nice of you to stop by and acknowledge the quality of the discussions and to offer your congratulations..thank you it is appreciated. That kind of feedback keep me motivated and my 'thinker' humming with ideas. You are right it will be much easier to have the bonus of cutting and pasting...that was what I was truly looking forward to.

Wow...how nice of you to acknowledge my 500 when you have been able to achieve close to 6,000...now that is impressive! I think it is very honoring of you to give a new Mylotter like me a pat on the back...even though you have managed to achieve so much more. Seasoned members like you are kind of like heros to those of us who are just beginning.
So thank you very much for your cudos and encouragement. I have been looking forward to cutting and pasting...easier to spell check too! I am glad your fiance hit the mark too...pass on that I say congrats to him too! We need to keep 'paying it forward.' It gives me a good feeling to be able to welcome and support new members the way all of you have done for me. I have been really touched by how supportive more older members are in their willingness to assist others who are new to Mylot Land. This is a great place and I am grateful to have a fellow Canadian as an on-line friend. Let us know when you hit the 6,000 mark!

Well thanks for that...and I notice you are not that far away from receiving your 500 post mark. I am sure you will be there very soon...so a pre-congatulations to you!
How much have I earned...well in two months somewhere close to $20.00. So I am happy with that...the earnings are a bonus. This is not work to me...it is my play and 'think' time where I connect with like minded others and share in conversations that inspire, uplift and educate. So the money is nice...but friends are nicer.
Good luck on making your 500 cut and paste success too!

So sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well! Glad you are better now and back in the saddle.
Congrats on the 500 mark. The cut and paste comes in handy sometimes that's for sure.
I'm looking forward to the 1,000th too!

Thanks for your encouragement. I know you understand what I mean when I say that it is an energetic as well as a physical cleansing of some old energy that has been building up as my hubby and I worked through his health challenges this past year. One thing an upper respiratory infection does is pull a lot of 'junk' out of the system...so even though it has been somewhat uncomfortable...I am thinking 'better out than in.'LOL.
With all the support from like minded others I have also made some inroads with my comfort ratio on receiving...so it truly is all good.
Thanks for you congrats...I do hope you will post your 1,000 mark achievemnt...so I can give the same back to you.
We'll keep in touch.

I already congratulated you on your previous post when you hit 500, but this is well worth another congratulations. So here it is, Congratulations! I see you have already passed me with your rating. So, a week ago you were breathing down my neck. I expect in another week all I will see is your dust. Then in a month that will even fade away. Good job!

Hi...thank you for your congrats...haven't been by your site today..but I will.
So yes, we were really close...but with your busy fingers today...you are ahead. Not that we are in a contest here. I doubt if I will everleave you in my dust...you are a pretty dedicated Mylotter too! Besides I wouldn't want to do that or have the connection fade away...I value our chats too much.
So we both did a good job...and it is time to take a breather...and let ourselves RECEIVE that knowing...Right? Or yes, that was a different disscussion.LOL
