Do people ev en read soms discussions they respond to?

hi inertia yes I think my problem is that I have a higher IQ than some and like it was in high school when I talked with others they would say leave out the big words but I just assumed most people had the same intelligence but I guess not as we are a large community and I did not want to seem patronizing so i really loused it up. Sometimes I hated being a gifted anything and wou ld rather have been just ordinary like everyone else as people do not like anyone who is in any w ay a bit different. but I had hoped now I am elderly that I would be more easily understood. I was right the first time I should never have made the damned thing. Only a few people e en understand that if they knew the do nots of making discussions they could make discussions that would not be deleted and would make some earnings. so be it then. People just want the easy silly discussions and that sort of a shame. I feel that a lot of people do mot want to know the rules so then they can biatch and com lain and whine mylots a scam.

hi inertia I won't as I love to mylot but I will take my time to think out how to write my next discussion so all can understand it and I can be proud of it too.

Look, don't get discouraged with this whole thing. I for one like a good discussion. Something with substance to it. You could always mix it up you know. Make some regular discussions and then make some real good intelligent ones. That way you got everything covered.

hi deazil and maviic yep shes getting ahead here really well wo w. I see some of those too that sou nd liike what goes o n in FaceBook.I ha ve an Account there b ut do not check in too often. My lot is my favorite place to be Those who write one line discussions do not last long as they do not get paid I Imaine either. My problem is often I write too long a discussion bu t do try to make them a s understandable as possible. wow a party sounds great. my best friend asked me when we here at Gold crest were having our Christmas party and I had to tell her it has not been announced yet. Seems like they are slow on the ball this year.,hope its on the 21st to stop all the silliness about the world ending then,

I got so carried away with the party that I forgot what I wanted to say. I don't know how anybody could have mistaken what your discussion was about. I loved it and thought you presented it quite well. Discussions NOT to make. Now I know I better not even post your Aunt Clara's sponge cake recipe. And don't worry, I don't have an online business to post a link to. I think it was pretty clear what you were trying to show. Never a waste when it's authored by you, Hatley.

My mail box is showing me what a stalker you are! Whew! I do try to see what people are saying. But too many aren't really interested and only run around and post here, there and everywhere without a lot of thought behind it. But I believe they're in the minority and don't stay in mylot for a very long time. They get tired of not making any money for writing nonsense. They'd rather be in FB where nonsense is the order of the day.

Any public spirited persons prepared to translate the Discussion Guidelines into Spanish, Tagalog, Cebuano, Hindi and Urdu, Tamil, Mandarin, Arabic, Italian (Over to you Diana!), Bengali and Silhetti, etc. and send them to mylot?

(It seems from what Auntie H has written that she has the Greek under control!)

adnileb if you had read my discussion i made the do nots into pretend discussions and asked if these were good discussions or did they break the rule? I I thought by giving examples of rule breaking discussion topics I thought it would help others here and yet so many just read a sentecne and assumed I was asking if those would be deleted? they did not read all of my discussion as it was not that hard to understand. I feel like I wasted my time and just made something for people to laugh at . grrrr.

hi adnileb I feel that I shou ld have taken more time and done it right so it was more easily understood b ut its done now and I can only feel a little bad that I had not worked harder to make it more understandable to all.

Of course I read it - thrice. But if my response seems to be out of nowhere, maybe I didn't get it right.

hi chang I have notice you areindeed very careful and your posts are always easy to understand too. I also try to really read all of a discussion so 'i will be able to respond intelligently and not make some silly blunder in my response. I realize how many idioms we have and how odd some of them must sound too.

hi yes like thetinme I told the indian mylotter I was eating a hot dog while typing and he was appalled."I though you were a nice lady but eating dog how co uld you"? I explained that hot dogs was a slang term for beef weiners. sol ten He responded"Oh madame I am so glad you did not eat dog meat." I told him that we do not any pf us eat dog meat in America

I admire you for your mental acuity.Not everybody at your age can do that.Yes, leaving aside the slangs in English ,there are a large number of English idioms , of which many mean something different from the meanings of the separate words.For one who don't speak English,it is difficult to understand indeed.

hi Mavic I have also seen some really silly ones and I thought no I am not going there. When I like one and respond it usually has some meat to it and I can get excited and write a decent response. I mean writing about what would I do if a grasshopper hopped on me would take one minute."I would yell and knock the thing off me." Now I would feel if I had done that that I probably had wasted my time and will lose earnings. so it pays to read all then bypass the silly ones for those I am interested in. Then I read all and I then respond as best as I can.

hi Mavic yes you really are a good and interesting mylotter who take time to write your post.

Oh yes Aunt Hatley, quite frustrating. I know you don't waste time and you only respond to discussions you had interested with, so I am always happy when you are in my box. Means, that my box is interesting and meaty.. wheeeeeeeee heeeee am happy

hi ambiepam still you mu st admit its pretty rude to respond to a title'when the title has no thing to do with the discussion and A mbie I must say if someone dislikes my discussion fine just bypass it do not tell me how to write one as I have had some experience. oh i know I am teed off but if somone re sponds 'to my discussion I had hoped it was because they were interested in it'not that they wanted to just post some words for two cents. okay so the guidelines is considered not good but yet if one reads the do nots he or she can avoid losing their discussions or do they like to lose them? i think thats sort of weird as they whine about not making money. Yes I do do what I can and I think some do appreciate it too.

Who was telling you how to write one? I didn't see that anywhere.

hi ambiepam I think it was just before this discussion that I read some discujssions they said there were no substantial discussions anymore so theyh just signed off. I responede that mos of us were not college degreed people thus just wrote from what we knew.She popped up with,{"Make a substantial oneO will and I will respond." but evidently myllot lo did not like her co mment so deleted it. I forgot too that I have a BA in English. lol loll

hi cobalt thats the way I d o too then write my own response. I never make plagiarism either as I pridemyself on being able to think of things to write abou from my own mind,not using and stealing others materials.

hi shibham welconme back have not seen you in ages. yes itws r e ally h arder to make good discussons and I also prefer to respond to others but oddly'when I do lu ck out and get a lot of responses then I comment b a ck and woe my earniungs go up to over a dollar a day which really helps me pay my internet bill. I like to respond too as we all be come better friends as we learn more about each other. making discussions is much harder.stay here for awhile shibby please lol.

but Jaiho did you not u nderstand that i basede all my exacmples of tiltles on the do nots from the guidelines showing what a ru le breaking discussion would look like? if it did not show y ou ri ght then I r eally failed in'ny iscu ssion as I was trying to show what the do nots are. help.

hi thesids yes I was just told the user r eads the dis ucssons but they need to be short and to the point blah blah. and she provced really she did not read all muy discussion as it was about peole making responses hat showed they' did not read all of the discussion I told her we were all free here to'write in our own styles.and if it did not suit her because of length please bypass it for those she likes and if she does respond to mine please read all the discussion first.They all want two sentecne everything as they are us ed to texting and not to discussions at all.

hi jenny I was afraid of that as now I feel either ai should not have posted or else rewritten it for more ease in understanding what I was up to.But yet I did not think it was that hard to u nderstand as I said I was making examples of how rule breaking' itles would look in hopes of helping others to understand the do nots. I knew some have never read them and do not intend to so I just hoped this discussion might help.But I am not sure of an ything now. Just wish I had not wasted' my time with it.

Hi Jenny I do hope so as so many people get upset being told to read the guidelines as if I was scolding them.I just wanted to see mylot stay a nmioce helpful site.

Don't feel bad about it. You had good intentions and I guess sone misunderstood it. But this postwill help them realize that you just wanted to extend help to our fellow members to maximize our Mylot experience.

hi LovingMyBabies I always do too as I want to know what it is all about and s ee if I can add anything to the discussion. I feel its slighting the discussion poste if you do n ot read and understand before making a comment on it or response to it.But sadly some didd not grasp what I was talking about in my discussion and I cannot take it to pieces now and reword it.feel sad and as thought its useless that discussion.

No discussion is useless Hatley... Especially none of yours! I am sure some people understood it, don't let the few get you down who didn't get it. I have not seen the discussion but I am sure it was a good one if you wrote it! =)

thanks LovingMyBabvies if it will help someone thats really great as so many do not learn the do nots then wail because they had their discussions deleted. so I sought to help that problem. lol.

hi bjc I made some silly rule breaking discussions and pointed out each rule that I'would ha e broken if I had posted them. now somehow people have got the idea I was asking if my hypothetical discussions would break the rules as the discussions were to show the do nots of making discussions.What i did was ask if I made this so and so into a discussion is it really a discussion? somehow so many did understand and yet I worded it very simply.I was not telling anyone what to do only showing the rule breakers in hopes some people would understand what I was trying to do..

Hi Tina yes its odd how you can make a discussion then others make one on the same subject but just a little different whereas theyh could have found som ething of their own to write about. I really bomb ed on trying to show rule breaking discussions as I guess those that did read the rules did not need it and those who will not read the rules will not read my discssion either.

hi ctryhnny that is exactly why I a made a discussion attempting to show what rule breaking discussions looked like. and it was not deleted as I did not break any rules bu t for some reason people seemed not to catch on to the idea and thought I had made those discussions and hoped they would not be deleted. I wanted to scream "read it again as it is not that hard to understand"Maybe if people would take four minutes to read a discussion instead 'of four seconds they might understand our writing better.

hi MandaLee you and me both. After all I want to make sense when I respond and if I do not know what the discussion is about I would bake a a.s.s.. of myself for sure.

\besweet you did not get the drift of my discussion. I did not copy parts of the guidelines at all. I always put the rules in my own words and no I did not break rules. I refereed to the discussion I made on rule breaking discussions. I thought I made it clear I was showing theoretical discussions I might make and asked myulotters if those are not rule breakers? they were just examples of what a rule =breaking discussion would look like. I was trying to help newcomers here to learn the do nots so they would not have discussion deleted.

robspeakman hi I agree whole heart edly as I can tell iof someone is just using the title to respond to. I know I could have worded it better but still i did not think it w as that bad that nobody h d an idea what I was trying to do? well I tried and failed but I do not want to delete it as I cannot afford to lose more earnings. So it stays and people can laugh or not I am past really caring anymore. If I did not need the earnings so badly I might ju st leave here myself.

oh my no I was just joking and I thought everyone knew that., I do not even know Greek all I know is English,.so no I did not write anything in Greek. we are supposed to use English and of course I type everything in English.No its not absurd as I never said I typed anything in Greek. Read my discussion again please as you have not read all of it at all.
