Oh My An Epidemic? What Shall I do?

thea I thought about just skipping too then wondered if you would mention going to the guidelines and reading all the info,maybe the person or persons would actually quit asking how to make money. anyway mylot should be more than that, I do use my earnings but I also have fun and talk to all mylot friends instead of being another couch potato downstairs in the activity room. some sit there without moving for hours, now i have some programs I like but they do not watch them so I come up here and mylot.he he he.

I like your thinking meapas! Happy New Year to you!

meapas as usual you make the best sense. yes a good many are using English as a second language and I never refuse' to help them, I can usually tell because of a few misspelled 'words or odd grammatical errors and I never fail to help as' much as I can. I was a bit out of sorts anyway last night as I' would so have loved to stay up to watch the old year out but I have a roommate who finally let me stay up to ten,used to be 9,its so frustrating to lie in bed and not getting to sleep for several hours. anyway yes we all need to help each other really. right. hAppy New Year.

I understand your frustration of saying the same thing again and again. There are some students who frustrates teachers to no end and finally the teacher has to ask the student to shut up. But a good teacher like our Creator doesn't stop guiding their students. Let us keep doing good because we are all answerable to God. Sometimes some of the newcomers find it very difficult to understand the language and so doesn't follow what the guidelines says.

hi zandi hope it paid off but I had hAd it. the information is all listed in the various spots and its not that hard to read surely. I told them they would find everything they needed to know how to make money.

hi diana well I doubt if I will always just tell them where to go' to look it up,but this person did not even seem willing to try to help him or herself. for one thing I can always tell if the person is a user who has English as a second language and I do try to give these people more help as I know our English language' is hsrd for so many to learn.Happy New Year Diana

hi gabs yes me too and wish they would realize how much good 'useful information the guidelines gives us all and the frequently asked questions as well. the rules they are all there for the reading.

I try to be kind, it doesn't to be like that. I just need to step up and start doing it more often.

hi kimbers Happy New Year to you and yours.yes kindness is never' wasted as it always comes back two fold and you have shown a very kind heart. I have tried to help others too and will' again of course, just was tired, but I often go to those that have'no responses. i remember how upset I was as a newbie when I got just a few responses than an older member here told me I'was giving out best responses much too early and when I waited a week I had a lot of responses,so I was helped and I have helped others too that way.

There's nothing wrong with extending kindness. You sound like you do and excellent job of doing that. Great job and thanks!

hi dawnald that is really what I did and after I read it I felt guilty as I usually just outline the comments,and responses, and discussions, tasks if they like and the photos etc etc. but I was tired then too my roomie was muttering as I was not going to bed eArly enough to suit her. I detest having to go to bed at ten if I am not sleepy; for heavens sakes one night in the year you would think she could have stayed up for it but no. wellone must get along with your roomie.Happy New Year Dawn at last its is new years day in California.he he.

Happy New year!

I have to say that Hatley is right on this one firebird. A good opening discussion would be to introduce yourself and maybe say a bit about yourself, would it not? It just seems to make more sense.

firebird you do me a great injustice. Ihave Answered over and over and over these discussions and gave them explicit information, post comments, post responses, post your discussions, do tasks if you like and on and on. no I did want to help but this person was a fellowAmerican conversant in English with a good vocabulary and why could not he or she do what they should have done in the first place,did not mylot tellyou when you joined to read the guidelines, the rules, the questions and answers etc etc? surely you had to do this,I know I had to do that and I did not have to ask for a lot of help as I went back several times and reread them.No you are being unfair to me, I have done this almost everyday for two years here so the one time I tell them to look it up and where to look it up and even how to look it up, I do not want to help? what am I supposed to do,feed it to them with a spoon. i have been And am willing to help out but not whem people refuse to use the directions I took a long time to type out for them.

Oh I agree a Welcome to myLot email would be a big help. Getting the people to read it is a whole different story. Happy New Year!

suzzy3 yes I did help; I just did it in a little different'way aand they must read that information as its there for that purpose, they can get help from friends if necessary but this user was an American so it was not a language thing at all. I have always been helpful here.

hi sussy I didn't mean to be so critical either. sorry.

I know you are, sorry I must have sounded awful.Sometimes you reread what you have written and I have slapped my own wrists.

hi kprofgames glad to hear that. you would think they would learn a few things before just blindly making a discussion as as the rules about discussions. he he.

Welcome to myLot Angelsdaddy! I have been around for about three years, and I might just go back and re-read them. Happy New Year.

Welcome to myLot and you are absolutely right! There's more that what meets the eye here, and all of us were new and one time or another. The rules and guidelines are here to help us, not restrict us. Many of the rules at other sites are so convoluted that they aren't helpful at all. Once newbies give them a read, I think that most benefit from them. Happy New Year!

I found that they were really helpful and although the rules and things were expained by my partner I still read them myself incase she missed anything as its easily done! Happy new year!

hi cloudwatcher I keep telling myself remember when you were new too but I did read the quidelines and I never had a discussion deleted, I did not get a lot of responses at first but after awhile I made friends and got plenty of responses. I also learned not to give out best responses too early thus I got more responders that way too. odd that they would not want to read the rules before starting a discussion.

hi elitess a happy New Year to you too. yes the frequently asked questions also can be a huge help and while there just read it all. its there for reading and will help too.

hi tlchimes I do that too when I see the person is really trying but just did not comprehend something, as I was there 'once myself. I was too gung ho on giving out best responses immediately and one of the older ones here told me to wait at'least a week to let any who may have been away have a chance to respond. and my did my responses pick way up when I did that. I cannot mention user names but she was really helpful to me as I was really a newbie.

hi sandra I did that too and it taught me so much, Ihad read the guideline and all but was a bit unsure so I responded and read the discussions and soon learned what went over and was popular, and what did not. it was as you say a valuable lesson to me.

hi dorannmwin yes some think its going to really make them rich, but I am on here long enough that it does pay all but one or two dollars of my internet bill. but not everyone has that much time,since I am retired and do not hold down a job any longer. but theres so much more to mylot than just earning, and Ihave'fun on here too, aNd I am always learning something.
