Insanity

Ha-ha.. you are right. Last I checked, it was crazy. LOL..

double notifications two days ago, I'm still digging my way out!

woo hoo Gens. I almost always try to start with Dawnald if I see her around. She has entertaining discussions. I am hearing food call me, so I gotta go cook some.

And it took me 2 days to get back to you. Bad Dawn! Crossing fingers on the other grades and congrats on the A! :-)

Oh well, there's always the delete key!

About forty cents!

Beats nothing!

I still have 80 some odd to catch up on, plus responses to my own discussions.

there's good and there's bad :-)

I've not long returned from my trip - finished unpacking so sitting down for a break before getting dinner. I only managed about 10 posts on the "double" day - didn't try to break any records. Now I'm just catching up on responding to comments and I'll try to respond to new discussions in the next couple of days.

I was doing that, but I was missing discussions from people on the other side of the world. Still, I may go back to it, we shall see. Roses are red Violets are blue Still catching up How about you?

Welcome back and Happy new year! :-)

I thought I was going to be able to be on a lot more than usual today, not just because of the extra earnings but ecause I couldn't get home. I didn't get to be at the computer as much as I had hope though becuase there were others who needed it. I have not been able to post much at all and I have a feeling the only day I will be able to catch up will be Christmas Day itself when there will not be many on until later

MysD, you mean that you got snowed in at work and have had to sleep there for the last couple of days? That is awful, although I guess it could be worse, because you could have gotten snowed in at your outlaws ... erm, I meant in-laws if you had any ... or something dreadful like that. I hope that they at least have a fairly comfortable place for you to sleep, and I hope that you can safely make it home soon. I was hoping to be on here at least a little bit on Christmas, but now I am not so sure. Hopefully I will see you around here before then, though. If not, then I wish you a wonderful Christmas, and I am sending you a ton of hugs! *HUGS*

I stated right from the start that I was here for the earnings. As I became more active, however, the earnings became secondary and the interaction is the most important part of being on here - the earnings are just a nice little bonus. I am glad that I happened to take a little time to log in today and check out what was going on, because I wasn't here at all yesterday. I have a lot of things to do before Christmas and very little time to do them in. I missed not being around yesterday, though, so I allotted myself a few minutes today to check in and see how everyone was doing, which proves that it is more about the friendships and interaction on here rather than the earnings. It was a nice surprise when I got the alert that today was double earnings, especially since I have never seen that sort of promotion on here. I must admit that I have been on here longer today than I had originally planned, but that is more about catching up on back comments than the extra earnings, which I am sure that you can relate to very well, MysD.

Oh: I know that it's double pay But my purse is popping To do something today I think that I'll go shopping

I went into town It wasn't fun I was laden down But my shopping is done! Merry Christmas! XXX

Roses are red Violets are blue I finished my shopping How about you?

I agree about the 'greed' part but the 'effort' ia not always as obvious. There ia lot of work for those dealing with deletions - I wonder if they get a bonus today too

I have never really considered how many deletions there are each day. But I do know there are many discussions I don't respond to because I've already answered that question over and over or I feel it may be deleted. But I bet the count will be up today.

I am not sure about greed being the motivation or how many people will use this to post irrelevant stuff that will only be deleted later, but I do know that Admin seems to be on top of things today, because my post count has gone down by two since I logged in this morning. I am not sure what discussion got deleted, because it is not one that I noticed, although it might be an older discussion so I might not notice it. I would think that Admin would need to be on top of things and try to keep up today, though, since it would be more work to delete and recalculate earnings later, especially when they have to account for the double earnings. By the way, have they ever had a promotion like this on here before?

Ok so you cant spell but I get the idea!

I hope you get a daffodil for Christmas - but it doesn't have to be yellow!!!!!

]Big mistake in response. You do know that I meant to have said DAFFOLDILS, don't you?

Hi purple, well they took over all my friends started list as well, at one point every discussion in there was from one person on my home page and they don't usually act like that. I'm sure I've missed some good discussions from friends as I delted all the emails and they would just have been lost in the swamp of one liners.

Fortunately I did not notice any one person dominating my "friends started" page, especially not with one-liners. I do have a couple of friends that like to start quite a few discussions per day, but they did not seem to do any more than usual yesterday, so it stayed at a manageable level. I did not really respond to that many discussions yesterday, but I went back and forth with several people, including you, on a couple of different discussions, so I still had fun and hopefully did well with the earnings. I think I stayed with "safe" discussions, or at least I tried to stick with safer ones, so that I would not lose the posts that I made yesterday.

I guess that I am fortunate to only have notifiers when people respond to a comment that I made on a discussion, although I rarely check my e-mail for them, either. I would definitely not want to be notified about all the new discussions today, especially since it seems like a lot of them will be deleted fairly quickly, anyways. I think it is great that we earn double today, but that just opens the flood gates for the one-line discussions, because people do not understand on a regular basis that we only earn for quality discussions and responses that we type ourselves and not for how many responses we get or how many one line discussions we can start in a day.

I should have seen the notification overload coming! And shopping wasn't too bad, we went early-ish...

I mostly like the notifications, but I do have at least 6 friends I don't get notifications for. So I have to stalk their profiles for new discussions...

What? You mean to say that you went without me?!? Thanks a lot Dawn!

Dang, now you tell me. I'm all done shopping....

what say you mylot? We welcome any new changes that will see us through these bad times. Keep your fingers cross dawn as we might be in for big surprises come new year.

Dear myLot, please take my friend Zandi's suggestion and keep paying double till the end of the year. Better yet, just pay Zandi double. I can't keep up with the e-mails.

Oh yeah.. Dawny2x I love the color too.. So my plusses work then.....

Nice big number and I went right by it and didn't notice! :-)

Yes and now it's really crazy!!!

I agree. My mail has just gone berserk. I have 2 pages worth of notifications to deal with. I will be going mad.

I got back from shopping and it was up to 184 e-mails! Ouch.

hi how was your shopping, 184 emails wow that will defiantly keep you busy. smile happy mylotting

Shopping done, December 24th wrapping done, but the big wrapping frenzy happens tonight!

Oh Alice, you just had to remind me about those photos, didn't you?! I still have to do the wrapping and get the house clean before Christmas. Well, clean is not really the appropriate term, since it is not really dirty but more disorganized. We are in transition right now, so there is a bunch of stuff stacked up all over the house that we have to go through. It seems like as soon as we make progress in one area, somebody else decides to dump a bunch of stuff on us, and we are right back to square one. There is a lot of stuff that can get thrown out (like old papers, out of date warranties, etc.), but it still takes time to go through them to make sure that we are not getting rid of anything important.
