Do you eat food while posting on MyLot?

Sometimes when I'm on Mylot, I don't have time to eat. So, I warm up water and have a cup of soup or Ramen. On Sunday, I opened a can of chilli and microwaved it. It was not really delicious. But, then again, it was not bad either. I had set a goal to post 100 quality responses to all my friends before midnight and I did not have time to prepare a meal for myself. Of course, I took the time to feed the rest of the family a nice meal. But, I didn't have any. I'm sort of glad. I almost made it to my goal. Do you ever post and eat at the same time?

Sometimes I do eat too, but most of time I'm having a coffee while posting. Tv and news is my usual companion when I'm eating, especially at diner. I often spend more time in MyLot during night time. It is usually those times when I already finished with my diner. I would normally stay up late so coffee is usually what I'm having while Mylotting.

I have eaten before while i am posting on mylot, I do a lot of different things while i am posting on the internet, most of the time like right now i have my television listening to it and i can see it out of the corner of my eye since i have a laptop....and when the television isn't on i always have the music on so that it will help keep me entertained!

I always make it a point to eat at least one meal with my toddler each day, no matter how busy I am. The other two are USUALLY eaten with him, but sometimes, we will eat snacks downstairs. He will sit in the computer chair right next to me with his bowl of cereal, and I will sit in front of my computer with my cereal or salad. I try not to do that too often, though, because I really think that eating together with my son is a fun time, and I like to be able to actually sit and enjoy it!

You're so right! Those precious moments are so fleeting. Before you know it, they're gone. Best to enjoy while they last.

I spend a lot of time on the computer, supposedly job hunting, but also doing a lot of other things in between. So I do eat in front of the computer quite often. I just ate a nutri-grain bar and juice while posting, sitting on my bed, in fact. Sometimes I will eat a sandwich while online, too. Anything more complicated than that, I have to put the laptop aside, or maybe watch a TV show on it.

Yeah, MyLot grows on you if you stay here too long. The money is good, if you have the time to post your own discussions and update them often. Posting responses to other people's discussions pays good too, but only if you respond to 100 or more daily. Just depends on what your idea of good money is. Lots of factors involved. Thanks for your well wishes. They are much appreciated. Welcome to MyLot. It's a fun place. Be well. Thanks for dropping by. (Can't wait to see which avatar or pic you choose)

I sometimes eat when posting on mylot but I'm allways sort of anxious that I may spill it over my laptop and ruin it, so I try not to eat when I'm at my laptop or at least nothing fluid that will get stuck between in the keyboard if it would happen that I spill something.

i'm eating now. but i don't usually eat a full meal while myLotting. even noodles. i usually eat finger foods only like chips or sliced fruits while myLotting. if i'm hungry and i have to eat a full meal or noodles or something that needed fork and spoon, i would stop myLotting but i would still be in front of the computer watching something while eating.

I don't do that as I can't do multiple tasks at the same time.Besides,I want to give respect to the food by eating properly at the proper place.

Hi There, I can't say I really ever eat when I am posting on Mylot. I have tried it a couple of times however. I have found that it really slows me down and I end up making a lot of mistakes or make a big mess all over the place. I can't watch TV or anything when I am posting either as it takes away my concentration. I guess I am just one of those people who can really only focus on one thing at a time. cheers,

No I never eat and post at the same time, I know that if I did I would probably drop crumbs or something all over the computer and so I do not. If I am really busy on here then I just do not bother eating much at all. I just make sure that I have something to eat when I feed the rest of my bunch.

My meals usually happen in the front of the microwave. Guess I'm lucky that I get to eat at all. But, everyone else is well fed. That's the most important part to me. As you mentioned. If the rest of the family eats dinner and regular meals, then I'm supremely happy.

I don't have much work to do so I spend most of my time on Mylot.I don't eat meals on posting coz I mom prepare meals and call me and I have to eat at the table with my family.But besides eating I do many things while posting.

I find myself doing more and more at my keyboard such as eating, having my morning coffee, and reading or writing posts as I get myself together for the day to come. I also have to have some type of stimulus in the background such as listening to a TV program or having music going while I am posting or writing my articles that need to be done that day. I know that I should really take the time to eat more and to eat better foods but it is so much easier to grab a bite in between reading and posting that I have noticed that even when I am not at the keyboard, I tend to eat really fast and wolf down my food which I know is not a good thing for me.

Yes, sometimes I am on myLot and eat at the same time. I do not like to eat alone really. If I do I willl do something else at the same time as well.

I used to eat in front of the computer when I am in myLot because I will be spending so much time in myLot that I forgot it's lunch time already. but since I am on a diet and I have a goal to post only 10 a day, I don't have any problem with eating in front of the computer.

I do it all eat drink coffee like right now. I'm thinking of what i would like to eat and drinking coffee while in my lots. And commenting at the same time. Watching tv but recording the show that i'm missing while in my lot. Checking email and posting in my lot too. I guess that has become normal for me to do things like this. I would like to see what would be the highest post i could reach if i was on for 24/7 for about 2 or 3 days.

I eat at my computer lots of times. It is nice to meet your goals of posting in mylot but 100 postings is not so easy to do. I have done it on some days, a few times, and I find it has taken me over 5 hours to post that many. So I don't do it very often as I don't have that kind of time available. I notice that two of your discussions made the mylot digest, in one day. Congratulations to you for that. I am going to request your friendship, if you are not already on my friends list. Keep up the good work.
