Its not I have a problem so much coming up with discussions its more less the thought of how many times the post I want to put up has already been done. I try really hard to come up with discussions that people have to take time to answer and discussions that will make their answers longer so they can make more for each post but everyone seems to ignore them so why bother? I mostly just come on and answer the discussions with no responses that way I'm not answering the same post 3 times a day and answer the ones that actually require me to type more then a sentence and to use my brain.

Well actually I was just looking at what I wrote and maybe thats what I ought to be doing instead of trying to figure out an interesting discussion just ask about something that is going with me.

Yeah, I do. It seems like the discussions that get the most response are the "soap opera" ones, that gossip about the neighbors or complain about family problems, and I guess I just don't have enough of that kind of stuff going on in my life to be interesting! Poor me!

I've had a good response from a few topics and they weren't necessarily original but I just asked questions about things I know I'm going through or whatever. Like Hot flashes and reading and a few TV shows.

No I dont..I'm more of a responder than I am a thread starter..Not to say that I dont start threads mind you cause I do but only when I have things on my mind that I'm super curious about or am looking for advice etc etc....I dont bother trying to start new threads every day though....BUT when I have the computer turned off for the night and a topic comes to mind, I write it down so I can post it the next morning :-D

I need to start doing that problem is I will be out shopping and have a handful of bags when an idea hits me, LOL not conducive to stopping to write anything down.

There are times that I am experiencing the same as your experience, so what I am doing now is I dont force myself to start a new discussion. I just start a new discussion when a question just pop in my mind and I feel I want to know others opinion. Because if I just think and think of the topic nothing comes into my mind.

Well you have to kind of think of it like this. there are new people registering everyday probably 100s so the question will be new to them so ask it!!!

Heh yeah that happens here. And to make it even worse, my best topics come when I'm not trying to force it, but then I can't help but force it when I'm all out of topics to post!

I understand what you mean. I answered a post yesterday from a newbie and she asked if everyone else was as bothered by the misspellings in peoples post and of course she had misspellings in her post which I pointed out to her. I thought it was funny, LOL

Yes it's easier said than done. I didn't realize we got paid for answering other peoples posts in the beginning

I suppose it depends on what you consider a worthy topic! *giggles*
I always have a lot of things on my mind, and most of them could probably make mylot topics. However, the real reason I don't post that many discussions is that the reading/rating/commenting process takes a lot of time, and so I only start discussions when I really feel like I have the proper time and energy to follow through on them!
My interests are really varied, and I think I could always have something to say about at least one of them. Usually, also I'll get ideas from conversations I have with people; either my online friends via messenger or phone, or my husband. Sometimes too it's something that I'm trying to work out my own opinion or ideas about, and I'll decide I want more people's input on it.

Like I said in another post I get the most responses when I ask something that I and other people are experiencing.
