I finally got my star...YIKES! Don't judge me by it!

Amen pweety! But, if we weren't able to express our opinions, then what are people like Bush and Clinton doing in public offices? You want a great topic, discuss on the pros/cons of just one of them and sit back and watch the fireworks. But, learning from "The View", I'm sure if you spouted that you were a Christian Republican, you'd get your ratings...(fill in your own blanks) ;-) *Pleiades

Amazing, huh...how the smallest things amuse us. I mean, I'll bet you're a person that logs onto this site and gets all emotional when you're earned your next chunk of money, eh? I was excited when I got my first payout...and realized, "Darn, that took forever!" HAHAHA! Thanks for the response...it made me feel better. *Pleiades

hehehe..you're right...

I'll tell you why it's so low...it's because the evil monkeys stashed inside the internet punched in the wrong buttons while the staff was away on their coffee break! Ok, that's not true but it sounded good. *Pleiades

Same here, my 18 months old daughter like to come to my computer and watch the videos that I have taken of her during her travels and competitions. hahaha. She would just come to me and and ask to "watch video". When the video are on, she very well behave. hahaha.

Iwrite, thanks for being so kind and understanding. I'd love to say more, but my one year old baby is grabing the mouse and moaning out, "Mem maa!" and thus, making me feel guilty for being on here during the day...the joys of having children...I love them! *Pleiades

Kpro, honestly, I don't know how you became to be of such a pretty colour. What you've written on this discussion is a whole heck of a lot more than some of the things I've seen from people with a higher rating. Oh well, I guess a blind squirrel gets a nut once in awhile *Pleiades

For the record, I was calling them the blind rodent, not you. :) *Pleiades

Yeah, I like purple, even if two days ago I was green. Sigh, somethings just never change.

I just hopped online to check my emails and to see who responded to this discussion, but yours stood out. I'll be happy to help you out with your questions: Star star is your rating. The higher the number, the more you get paid. Now, how you get the higher rating is judged by your postings. If you post some onliners, then your rating will be low. Also, you see that + - ! That's for people to put their ratings to others. Whenever I respond to a comment or discussion, I rate it. To me, it's a curtesous thing. I just hope that all of this stuff will be "pay it forward", meaning other people will rate others and not just respond and post for their own numbers. *Pleiades

Thank you so much..

Lingli, thank you for your thoughtful words. Really, it cheered me up some and put in a glimmer of hope. You have a nice weekend. *Pleiades

Before I hop offline to play Xbox with my son, I'll answer your response. Hehehe...yeah, there have been some outwardly rude people here who do have low ratings, but just like you, I try to be polite and smile. That's why I always sign my "name" to everything. *Pleiades

Lady, thanks for that bit of news. Sorry to say, but I don't feel as bad anymore. *lol* Have a terrific weekend. *Pleiades

Hhhmmm...if that's the case, do you think MyLot ought to make it a certain posting a person must have before being able to "rate" a conversation? Hhhmmm... *Pleiades

Lil, I still can't help but peeking to see what their rating is. I suppose it's like a movie critic, if it's got a bad rating, then it must be good! *Pleiades

Seishiro, judging by your photo and your response, I think that if you were to have a party, I'd love to go and crash it...it looks like you know how to have fun. My son called me a "moron" under his breath one day and when I confronted him about it, he got so scared, he said he was calling me a "marshmellow". Isn't that the cutest? *Pleiades

That's right, Mik, you keep on writing. But, what will set you apart from the others here is the fact you want to write from the heart and not what you think people wanna hear. That's boring and blah, I would want to hear what people want to say. Good luck to you. *Pleiades

Reggie, keep plugging away with your discussions and responses and you'll be at 99 before you know it. What was a kicker for me last night was, "OMG, I'm at 95...what to write! What to respond?!" I was at a blank. You'll get your rating as soon as you hit 100 and you'll see it in a responsed or started discussion. Congrats on being so close. *Pleiades

Maean, yeah, that's all you have to do is ignore and learn from it. Isn't it funny that the people who express themselves the loudest ends up being heard the most? They're called "Presidents". Tee heee heee! *Pleiades

Klaudine, you did the samething I did...you just followed your heart and said somethings that didn't agree with the general vote. Is it depressing? Somewhat, but meh, don't let that stop us! *Pleiades
