what is mylot all about??

I have no idea why or who pays us jus for starting and replying to discussions! However I love it on here, there are so many different people and opinions. I think it is just about asking questions and talking about hings on your mind, thats how I use it, e.g I did a discussion about what time people go to bed a while ago as I was always so tired by 9.30pm and wanted to see if I was the only one and another one was about ice cream and a certain brand that use to be available, I was just thinking about it one evening and my hubby gave me a blank look so I thought I'd speak about it on here. Does that help at all? It's nice to read other peoples views and they are so helpful. Happy mylotting x
