Sometimes I wonder about the people that start discussions on here. Not that they shouldn't, I'm happy that they do, otherwise there wouldn't be anything for me to answer
I mean I wonder what they are thinking. For instance, and I am not meaning any offense to anyone, a person started a discussion about how they could get their man to pop the question. Five minutes later they started a discussion about planning a wedding. What? I thought they were waiting for the man to pop the question? I get confused sometimes
Do you start one discussion and minutes later start another dealing with the first discussion?

hello fridman,
Starting a new discussion sometimes is hard. Need really to be focus in it so everybody will rewill understand and easier to relate. But sometimes, some discussions are confusing that you need to read it more than once in order and be able to understand it.
And your example is one of them. Whatever, that means...Happy mylotting.

I remembered once when I posted a discussion to tell my friends that I will be MIA in mylot and in that discussion I mentioned I am a homemaker but in an earlier discussions I mentioned I run a business. Someone took advantage of my two different versions about myself and started a discussion that sound like I am acting who I am not. I might have put my words wrongly that has been grossly misunderstood by the person. I am in actual fact is a full time homemaker by day and am running a pub at night. So both jobs fit me well. And that can't go wrong but my discussions might have sounded alien to this person. Only after coming to response to that post that I clear myself of any misunderstandings.

A long time ago was the only time I was amazed. That episode was an eye-opener. A male user in his fifties according to his profile was at one point writing a discussion about the pain he had gone through while giving birth and the next was asking for advice on how to deal with his boyfriend who had just left him and he wasn't able toconcentrate on his studies at school
Up until then I had believed that what I read on here was true. After that I take a lot of things with a pinch of salt

That then becomes what is called 'minestrone' here
Just about sums up this place I guess

Sounds like they are just wanting feedback for money and they don't really care what anybody really has to say. I try to start conversations that are separate from each other.

Hi fwidman...i know what you mean and I don't mean to be rude either, but I usually do not repond to these discussions becasue I just don't know what response to give,
I mean like you said if they ar trying to get their boyfriend to pop the question and he hasn't yet, why would they be planning something that may not be taking place.
I think alot of people set themselves up for hurt and there is nothing else to say on this matter.

Maybe they have been watching to much reality TV and making plans just in "CASE".
As expensive as things are I wouldn't be planning anyting until I was 100% sure of what was going on.
She just may be the only one at the altar.

It seems weird right?
but what can we do. I think sometimes these people just post discussion they think would catch the eye of the reader and get many responses.
I really don't start many discussions, cause I don't want to start discussions for the sake of making money, that's just not my style. I start my discussions when I really want to know something or ask advice and opinion on some problem or issue I have, not just to increase my earnings. I don't even reply to discussions that seemed pointless to me even when I can reply to them.

I am sure that most people post discussions here with the hope that they will get a lot of responses Asking advice is a good start to a genuine discussion. I don't generally answer discussions that seem pointless either, because, well, what's the point?

Well, I am sure this person is planning ahead, and most women dream of their wedding so why not make it a mylot discussion, even if it made no sense on the same day they wonder how they could make their man pop the question.
At least makes sense to me

Hey fwidman! You are so friggen right on! The people here
sometimes make me dizzy! The make absolutely no sense whatsoever!
I think they are either dreaming or out of their minds! I don't
know if it is because alot of them are very young and just
dreaming what they wish would happen or they are plain nuts!
If it isn't that then there are those who have the one line
stupidest discussions I have ever seen! There is one person
in particular on my friends list that I have to actually turn
off the notifys because I just can't believe the discussions
that he starts! They are the stupidest things that make no
sense! I rather not start a discussion (as I usually don't)!

Not really but i think they started another related to the first one because they want some opinions from the question they have created.Ü

The only time I've started a "sequel" to a discussion I had just done is when I found a real goof. One time I did a discussion warning fellow MyLotters of two websites to be wary about...I thought they were LEGIT sites! Imagine my embarrassment when I managed to find out they were "spoof" sites and that all the info on them was bogus. Another example of when I might do sequels is to up-date some "disaster" event in my life (like when my SSI benefits were suddenly cut off and had $5.71 to my name) that became resolved in a favorable manner
