Focusing on one point (dot dot dot)

I just love to go with the flow.

i usually go with the flow.it usually returns at some point my area is yadda yadda yadda instead of dot dot dot,but same thing pretty much.

As long as it contributes to the discussion, I do not really care if they add to it and stray from the topic. Unless of course the response is "I like your post, keep up the good work." Not much to discuss there. I know I pick up habits from other people, just cannot think of one at this time. If I could we could go back and revisit that discussion.

It tends to annoy me. I'm easily annoyed.

I hate adding to it but I actually have a dot dot dot story and, although it's not quite what I'd call a "habit", it is something I will say occasionally, even long after the originator in my story has long gone. When I was doing legal transcription there was one lawyer who, every SINGLE time he dictated something, would constantly use "dot dot dot" at the end of most of his sentences. He would say, "Therefore, and heretofore and herewith blah blah blah blah blah dot dot dot." Okay, the 'blah blah blah' part I replaced his actual words with and he never did say heretofore and herewith, at least not in that order, but you understand, right? He insisted that we type that "..." on there, too, misplaced or not, misused or not. To this day, I still say that every now and then. Yeah, I know, it's sad. Of all the things I could have picked up in my working career, I picked up, "dot dot dot." Yeah, I usually go with it.

Eh, just gotta go with the flow on myLot. I don't get annoyed here very much anymore because I'm not here enough enough. I'm just glad people still include me here - hee hee!

Hello dawnald, thanks for posting this issue, I think many mylotters dont even read the postings/the topics but just keep on typing without understanding the real topic.It has happend with me too,therefore the quality of the discussion looses merits.Quality of posts and responses matters to me not quantity.Thanks again.

My ex and I used to use weird expressions we made up. I still use some of them. You are just dotty kiddo.

I really do not mind it either. It's more fun to talk about other topic even in a single thread. How's that, dawn?

I usually just respond with whatever thoughts, feelings, or opinion on what I read that comes to mind. I don't always go with the direct matter but more what it brings to mind or how it makes me feel. Your discussion on dot dot dot was very interesting and it was nice to learn a new word I hadn't been familiar with before.

Having been one of the offenders (oh well) I usually go with the flow, when I know where the flow is headed..Not that day apparently..But, if I answer that question today when dot dot dot is the subject, am I not compounding the misunderstanding? Too much thinking too early for me..Enjoy!

I would be one of those people who responded to your dot dot dot discussion, with a not not not-so great response. I apologize... (there, I did it again!) But sometimes, it is great to go with the flow, as at leads to new discussion topics!

Nah, because I also love dot dot dot...

Okay this one got me think, so I went back to your dot dot discussion where you mentioned habits you picked up that perhaps last longer then a relationship (not verbatim) So I explained that I too do the dot dot and had no explanation as to why I do it and how I have to refrain from doing so. So as I did when I initially read it, I went back and re-read it and in the first comment box and the following 2 it was completely about the dot dot and so were your comments. So I suppose my response here is that I go with the flow. So now that I am confused about whether your topic was about how one picks up habits that stick with you longer then perhaps a relationship, which was it?? Reason why I am asking is now I am thinking that I over read. Because I usually read all responses and comments before I respond. lol.

I kinda go along try to hear w/e is been focused on. and i have to admit getting new ideas and way of thinking is educating. :P

I've had many a discussion go any place except when I thought it would, and so long as it doesn't get deleted, I'm happy!

oops i missed that. i replied on the dot dot dot thingie...oh well sorry for that, i also tend to get out of the focus, even on my own responses and discussions... my husband would often say it is because i am someone who think of so many things and i wanna say so many things i cannot get my thoughts arranged.

Haha, well it looks like you won either way.....lol just kidding. But I have experienced this once. I once, used a couple dots (.......) in my discussion before and got a rude response on how those "dots" isn't a quality discussion. I though I had an interesting topic, but yet one person was more focused on the dots than the actual topic and didn't respond to the topic directly. Oh, well still gotta love mylot!

I usually just go with it. Keeping in mind, I understand what they are saying. Sometimes it's so far off base I get confused. Not a good thing when you get confused on your own discussion because of something someone else typed.

Yes I do have some discussions which got a lot of responses when i thought it would get only a few. For me that feels nice and I love replying to every response. But there are some discussions which I make thinking it'll quite some number of responses but they get just a few. I get disappointed then, but only a bit
