mylot and my word obsession....... Take it or leave it! lol.

I am not good on words, in fact no good n conversing, no good on details too. so why did I ever join mylot? ha ha I am making efforts to make my wordings and response here longer and it really is taking my time, but what can I do, I really should learn, maybe you can teach me how?

I find it really hard to not go rambling on especially if it is a discussion I feel strongly about. Other times it is hard to write more than a line or two. I try to respond to most of my friends discussions and I can usually find something to say. I think it is all right to go on a bit as long as it keeps to the subject.

As much as I can, I did give a my best try to respond to a discussion as much as I can, admittedly though, I find it hard sometimes to express my thoughts into something since I had to think harder what and how to say it. Nonetheless, I am grateful in ways that mylot and other mylotters accepts our rantings at times.

Hi, you are really one of the most exciting people on our site. Very lively and full of enthusiasm. Please continue. Will you be busy this coming month? I prefer being short and sweet but there are topics when I would answer with lo9ng discussion.

No, James, I do NOT understand what you're talking about!!! I have NOT noticed that you seem to prattle on & on. Actually, I was told my job here was to have diarrhea of the thought process!!! I have NEVER had that problem!!! Are we not supposed to say everything on our minds until we empty our thoughts??? If not, please let me know so I'll know when to cut my thoughts off!!! I find your discussions interesting & insightful. Your responses very well thought out & informative. I have NEVER noticed that you seem to go on & on & on & on & I don't know anybody with that problem!!! Well James, my dear friend. I hope you get your point across to those you are trying to reach or did it just go over my head???

I just say what I want.

Well, when you talk about responding back to discussions, for me, it really depends on the type of discussion and what I am trying to get across as a point when I respond back to them. Sometimes I find myself thinking about it, and if I cannot post back enough that I feel will pertain back to that issue, I leave that discussion behind, and move on to the next. But even sometimes as well when responding back to one of the discussions that I have started, it can be easy to continue to still go on there as well.

I can so relate, james. I tend to be very wordy. I type and think fast and before I know it...guess i've said too much. when it is pointed out to me, I get self-concious and slow down a bit for a while. I have to make a concientious effort to keep things short & sweet or i just do not.

Well, you could always call your discussions 'newsletters' and hire me to edit them.

No it does not bother me at all. I like long responses it is the short ones that bother me. The ones that can only manage a few words or a sentence. To me a longer reply of a paragraph or more means that the person has actually put some effort into thinking about the topic and may even have read the content not just the title. I know there are some people on mylot who do not like length and some who will not read long discussions but words just come naturally to me.

I'm just like you, never stop talking or posting. But it has a benefit, the more you post, the more money. =]

Hey James72, It sure is a lot of fun releasing all those ideas that we have in our minds rather than keeping it. I like mylot very much because I am circulating with people of great ideas and learning. I can post a silly question like do you still love your first love. lol . And people will respond. Enjoy Posting.

are you trade now

I'm some kind of a writer so words are not that difficult for me to find... well, i have this knack of playing around with words... What do I mean with that? haha! Though not so detailed, it will be good to, uhm, just ramble along... Anyhow, this is my first post here in MyLot, and I promise, this won't be the last..

james I also find it hard to make my responses short and sweet as various ideas keep coming in and I feel like sharing them so' I guess I do crap on and on a bit too. It doesnt bother me nearly as much as the person who says oh yes, or oh, or maybe or else says I dont understand. I would rather people put in some detail. I hate a discussion that hasonly one sentence and goes like this do you like to use, unusual word, I do. Now I am asking the person for an explanation of this word I have never seen before, How can I answer if I do not know what this word means, is it a fruit, a song, or what? would that the poster would explain that unusual word then I might be able to respond. For example I will use the word dimawitty, this is just made up, but my example is do you like dimawitty, do you ever use dimawitty and where did you find dimawitty? now I am ready to scream what the hell is dimawitty, tell me then I can answer you.

It entirely depends on what I have to say. But I do have a bad habit of having to have the last word!

hi james, when the topic is of interest and i can dig my brain for some comments then you can expect a long reply ... but for a straight forward questions ... i will just put the answer without much details to support some discussions, people would have said what i wanted to say, then i will also give a short answer cheers

If it's interesting or I can relate to it, I tend to drone on, usually giving more detail than necessary. Sometimes I just feel ornery and play devil's advocate, arguing for the sake of arguing, and other times, I'm just too tired and just leave short clipped responses. Caffeine makes a big difference, but my caffeine is most often cold, addicted to Pepsi not coffee.

Hey lucky you, there are a number of people here who seem to run out of words, thus, end up with oneliners. Just like me. :D

I feel the same way. I go on here trying to be short and concise, but I end up typing a long, rambling response that could open up several more arguments. I need to stop being so detailed!
