I spend so much time posting I have no time for other stuff. This MyLot and another forum (you have a banner of it at the top of my profile it's called moneymakingkingdom and it pays 6 cents for each post and 8 cents to start a discussion) so I spend each moment I have writing posts and I don't do almost anything else in my free time. I stopped watching TV, there's this show I like much and it's ON TV write now but I am just not watching it because I am writing. Then I don't spend hours on the phone any more because I don't wanna do that if I can write posts. What did you stop doing because of posting. Please share. Thanks

Well iwant to spend a lot of time posting but prob is that I cant find time,do you know what is the best paid for post site.well i believe in mylot but the prob is they literally pay in cents and am looking for more.as you can see,i wasnt to support myslef and if i can earn 100$ /month that would be enough for me but that may mean nearly 300 posts a day and that is too much and i dont have referrals.
I usuallay dont stop anything for posting but Imay do soon.

Please do, it's a great site and they really pay, there's the whole section on the page with the payment proof. And the webmasters are great I had a problem an in 24 hours I got 4 e-mails from them. I have some 2100 points there and that's 21$ because each point is 1 cent. Just read the rules first.

In nutshell you have become an addict on mylot and other such sites.....LOL!
It is really great on your part that you can post your discussions and replies etc. almost non-stop. You know the one who starts enjoying participating in the discussions, forgets each and everything. I just enjoy partcipating in the interesting discussions, as and when I get time. I have learnt a lot from discussions.
Have a nice day!

I must agree..there was a time when I got addicted to posting on mylot. I have gotten over that now and only post when I have spare time so my daily chores and enjoyment in life are not compromised. :-)

I resemble your description of the constant mylot poster. I don't play games much anymore, have cut way down on my crocheting, rarely watch TV, and my house is a mess. Okay, my house was a mess before mylot. This is taking all the free time I have and I'm not ready to give it up.
I've met some wonderful people and new friends on these pages -- real people with real lives.
My psychiatrist has told me that I'm isolating -- that I need more offline interactions with people. Strange as it seems, I feel more connected with people here through posting.

I record all my shows on my DVR, I don't like watching commercials anyways, and if you spend one day cleaning your house, it will only take 30 minutes a day to keep it up. Try to record your shows plus watching your shows might give you some more interesting topics.

Well I do multi-task while I'm here, I do some work and refrain from what I'm doing here for a while. Sometimes, I need to look for better words to use and that's my cue to do my other task.
I used to go out more, but mylot has provided me good reasons to stay indoors when I'm not doing anything. This is also a good site to exercise our brains, for me this site is the only reason also that I go online..

I stopped playing games. I still watch my shows (I can watch shows and chat on mylot). I still chat on the phone a lot b/c i can do that inbetween mylotting. But I play less games. If I do play games, it's about 1 hour a week instead of daily like I used to.

I do a lot of freelance writing online, in addition to a number of GPT programs and running my own work-at-home opportunity website. Between trying to do all of them, I feel like my brain is in a blender sometimes. Usually, I get up very early in the morning, because it's quiet and I concentrate better. I work about 5 hours, then stop, so I can handle family issues, grocery shop, etc. That's the only way I could possibly deal with it. I am trying now to get ore involved with My Lot, because I simply haven't had the time I wanted to with it, due to all this stuff I'm doing. I feel your pain!

Well, not just posting. I own and admin a few forums and chat online.
I used to make quilts in the evening while my husband watched tv.
Now I sit with my laptop doing internet things
and listening to the tv. I never cared for television much to begin with and making friends is so much more fun.
I have not quilted in 2 years. I have several unfinished ones, one is nearly there but I just lack the interest now.
Good Topic :)

On all my sites, I'm so busy replying to discussions that I hardly have a chance to post at all. Good thing I'm not here for making money... I'd starve!LOL!! Last week I started staying away from the computer until after dinner, just so I could get a few things done around the house. I've also cut back to just a few TV programs that I really want to watch, and set my clock to remind me, otherwise I'd just mylot right through them. The nice thing is, I'm losing weight because I also mylot right through mealtimes!
