Its quite confusing...LOL!

hi jazel its t he old laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.also there are some here who are so lazy that if your discussion is more than a skinny paragraph they will pass it by.Its hard sometimes to know what will or won't get respoonses. too.

you know i think Hatley may have something there. sometimes mine are really long even though i try to shorten them. the problem is, sometimes it takes some explaination to get the point across of my question.

trueeee i do really explain and really expound it and when i see my topic it is really that long and i do appreciate people who really take time to read them and respond

hi allknowing people are the strange things at times and I think some of it is we are inquisitive to know if others think like'we do about some things.almost like gossip but not quite. lol lol

hey allknowing and Hatley. Im thinking that Hatley really knows when to do a discussion. as i cant be first on one of yours, Hatley, ever even if its just there 5 minutes, i go and im number 12 or 13 so she must really be on at the same time as most friends. it seems i catch it right now and then but i guess some late nights i dont.

Actually I blame it on the time zone factor although this did not affect a couple of my topics which garnered more than 70 responses. Those who get consistently good responses could perhaps throw some light on their success 'mantra'

there you go.yes it seems they slow down about the time i get a second wind

well thats the thing i cant ALWAYS be here so i sometimes miss a "window" perhaps

yes, i have been away quite a bit in the past 2 months because of my pain and condition myself. so, its seemed a bit busy at times and sometimes not hardly anything going on here. but of course since i missed making payout last month im a bit scrambleing this month.

thanks rqlutz, yep. so true.

oh i know. i hate it when people have a discussion, then never come back to comment on your comments. when i do one im really wanting to talk about that one thing in it.

yes and im thinking sometimes you are right about people not having us on notify. ive got all my friends on notify. if someone starts just throwing out tons of discussions or i find im not interested in the same things, i feel whats the point of staying friends? i mean its all about participation here. you know.

at times i do feel lots better. then, like last night i took a bad turn for a few hours with chills and sweats. my daughter made me lay down and rest. she says i do more then what i should. i really dont like just laying in bed asking for things she thinks i should. im a bit better today as you can tell.

Well im thinking i about got it figured. like GG said, maybe your friends would be working or sleeping when you are on and by the time they get to mylot its buried and they only have time to answer a few discussions. then, like another person said (and i dont know why anyone does this) they could have you off notify and miss it. I dont understand that thinking because why have a ton of friends if you are not going to go to their discussions? its not FB where some seem to think the idea is to have hundreds of friends you dont talk with i dont put anyone off notify. if they dont jive with me or have to many for me to reply, i take them off friends. they wont miss me anyway. i mean whats the point?

yes that is the strange part. its why i was wondering. thinking back over some really dumb ones ive done and wondering why such response when the really in depth ones went un noticed mostly.

true in most of our friendships here. but i become very close with the friends i have. most of them seem to me like i know them closely. i just think at times i miss whats a great discussion and what isnt on my part.

Yeah, this may be true. It's very rare that I come up with a subject that gets a lot of responses. And the questions are usually really simple ones that don't require that much thought. And when I post questions that are really detailed, they get much less attention. It annoys me, but maybe you need to think differently when you're online. Or maybe, like you said, it's just luck. Happy mylotting everyone!

grkelly, its not a matter of luck. when i first started, i think its how many friends you have with same interests. so i soon learned the pick and choose thing oxaqua, its probably like some have said, friends are not online at the same time, so it gets buried in other discussions before your friends get here. thats possible i suppose happy mylotting to both of you.

im not complaining. just wondering about it. thanks.
