looking back

I think that some just do not care and for others, it takes a bit to grasp the concept of "discussion" here. I can sometimes tell the ones that really do want to do well as opposed to the ones that think they are going to earn by just starting a bunch of mindless discussions and then doing nothing with them. What always puzzles me is the ones that start a really interesting discussion and then ignore it. I have gone into some and responded to the responders and had a very interesting discussion without the original poster ever entering back in.I don't understand it but I don't much care. If they don't want to earn off from their discussion...I will...their loss. I will say also that it is not limited to the new people.

hik sid thats right as we can comment and have fu n and we are making money while the owner misses out,his loss not ours., I am tempted to go back and comment just for the heck of it as I need to earn as I have not been doing too good so far this month.

hi sid I did try to give the benefit ot the doubt that maybe the person had computer problems. Even without notifications does not stop a person who really cares about making it into a real discussion from going back and commenting to any responses he or she gets as why make it if you do not intend anything with it. does not the maker want to interact and work out the solution or issue or whatever. It was seven months old and I guess some new ies do not realize you can comment back on older ones just like on new ones,

hi celticEagle I think you are right as all of a sudden so many just do not care. They make a discussion and they do not hit the pot of gold so they leave not having read the guidelines of the FAQ;s either and not caring..Kind of sad why bother to c ome here at all if they do not want to interact with others. Go to facebook if thats all they want.,I need to not care so much as it does not do any good any way as those who love my lot will always comment back and those who do not will gee whiz theres always good old Facebook for them.

Sometimes I do see someone who seems authentic as if they really do want to do good and maybe didn't read the guidelines or possibly did not really understand them. In those cases, I will welcome them on and try to help them. Those ones usually at least ask for help. Granted they should have researched but hmm..they are trying. Others, I don't even bother with. If getting a discussion or two deleted doesn't send off an alarm that they are doing something wrong..nothing will.

hi sid that's certainly true I know some new ones here are really trying and I often suggest things to them and they seem to appreciate it too. Some do not want that so I leave well enough alone then.their take I am an adult so don't tell me what to do. blah blah. SO I do not. ha lol

I have a few friends that almost never respond to my discussions. I really don't take it personal. They either don't have notifiers on or maybe can't relate to what my discussion is about. It won't stop me from commenting on theirs. It isn't a contest and friendships don't have a scoreboard. That's my opinion anyway.

hi greenmoo This discussion I responded to was 7 months old so it might be the maker was ill but surely in seven months he or she could have returned and tried to comment back odd there is not one comment onf the whole thing and its not a new discussion, I think perhaps some one came found out the responses do not pay her or him anything and just left.so now the discussion just sits there. Maybe as its on the side b ar it wil spur others to respond and maybe comment and we will get the discussion started back again. orhpan discussion I guess.

I'm forever getting confused between a comment and a response! When I respond to someone's discussion (like Hatley's in this case), then I think it's nice if the person comments back. If I write a discussion myself, I certainly wouldn't expect all of my friends to be able to take part. Hatley, the couple of discussions I haven't yet returned to may well stay like that forever. I would hope that my friends wouldn't take offence, as I wouldn't if they did the same, providing that it isn't a common occurrence.

that would baffle me too as the user would not ma e much if any thing .It could be the user who left this discussion I responded to was ill or in some sort of trouble as he or she never came back to make even one comment in seven months.Hard to know what really happened there. But there are some here who never comment back and one who just comments to c rtain people that to me is infuriating as it says to the rest of us our responses do not matter to he or she.I feel then like I wasted my time. But of course we do get paid for it.. lol

hi bunnybon its s ure not a nice feeling at all and Inow hesitate to respond again to this person although the discussions is interesting but why waste my time and effort?.

that is so true. when they only respond to certain people it like a kick off to the ones they dont makes you feel like they dont care and maybe dont even like you

Thesids that is very true ! I can relate with you ! That same thing happened to me , when i was a newbie ,i thought posting a discussion was enough then make another post for discussion only after a month i discovered and have learnt from experts telling us to respond to the discussion posted and its importance. From there on i tried that all discussion i will be posting will be discussed through the different comments it garnered.

hi thesids and Angelpink yes the admins could stress more that its not a discussions if noboy comments back to the people who took the time and effort to respond hoping to get comments back on their responses.I mean you do not walk off after opening aa conversation with a friend as that would be silly and rude too.

hi miss poiggy I have never posted a discussion that did not have at least one response. thats sad. I also feel its rude not to comment back to those who took time to respond to my discussion. Yes I feel my self respect also makes me comment back too.After all my friends did not have to repond and chose to so I owe them my comments.

Ah-ha - good point! I had forgotten about all that. Well it serves them right if they are losing out. If they read this they might shape up a bit.

wow I got it yu r avatar like it. Yes they miss out on a good wayt tol make some earnings.

or they may be a bit stupid as you make almost nothing just for starting a discussion but you earn quite a bit for commenting bnack on all the responses you get. You do not get paid for our responses as we did the work so we get the earnings. they need to know that they will make great earnings if they will take time and effort to comment back on all the responses they get.I hope that others will heed this and really make a n effort to comment b ack to all of the responces they get

You seem mad at me. I just don't even remember all the discussions I've responded to, so I can't be mad if they don't respond. I'm not aware of all the ones that don't. I make sure to respond back to my own discussions, but it doesn't bother me if someone else doesn't. That's all I meant.

oh no not at all Ambie Pam I sure did not mean to sound angry at you as I just was irritated for someone who told me that she responded to someones discussion and that person commented back to someone above her response and some below but did not say one thing to her and some others. She felt she had done something wrong. Now of course could be the person was jumping around and did intend to get back and finish all her comments so we just really do not know. I admit sometimes I get carried I away and come out sounding angry when I do not want to be that way at all..Oh my hope I do not ever get like my dad. He was always in an angry mood and he distrusted everyone.He was a hard person to live with as he had a very quick temper.I do apologize as I wuld nevger be mad at you my friend, never

hi ambiepam well I am me and thats the way I am as I think its foolish to take the time to make a discussion if you do not want to take time to interact with others who do respond. I am an old lady but I manage to comment baqk to all of you and yes its does matter to me as I feel its damned rude of anyone to make a discussion supposedly to interact with us then when we do our part the other person says "oh well I don't care' and leaves. If you are trying to tell someone something and they walk off leaving your words hanging in the air I think you would be irritated too. The whole idea is to get a conversation going between us fellow mylotters.So if you or anyone else does not care about their discussion why bother then.? I do care so shoot me for that as I older and maybe wiser who knows but to me and a lot of others its damned rude to not read and comment on our responses.. I now will not respond to those who never comment back I know most people now do not seem to care for anything but just earning some money.Yet commenting back will make one some money.

no I had the feeling as there was not even one comment the person may have had troubles and could not get back now that I think of it. I did not check on his other discussions nor go to his profile as I got busy on other things that day and did not have much time on the computer.What I do not understand is why people cannot use the tabs when not getting notifications as I keep up that way and find all my friends that way too.just saying.loll I am not really blaming the person as I do not know for sure why he or she left the discussion. I know I must have left some as my life turned upside down five years ago and I was off here for 11 months til I could get my computer and monitor out of storage. So yes lets give the person the benefit of the doubt.

hi asundyl yuo havde been here awhile too have uou not.I did miss coming back to some when I spent 20 days in rehab hospital and came backl and started catching up and wham my roomie got shingles and they forced me to move out to another room so for another 13 days I got behind on all my discussions and had to really work to at last catch up. then a few months later my computer and monitor did a melt down and for 30 days I was off the net completely while my son rebuilt my computer on his days off.but a lot of people now know I will get back and I will comment back too. so I am really trying too.

hi saundyl I have done that too , thinking I had not responded so I write a nice long response then look at another page and oh dear I responded to that months ago .I always feel a little silly.I know I have some I must comment back on as I really pushed myself and made too many at one time. But I swear I will get cau ght up soon.

i have - i think i signed up about 5 years ago. I get busy disappear for a while come back have computer issues come back move come back change jobs com back LOL life gets in the way of the fun stuff sometimes. There are times i reply to things and the go back 4 or 5 pages in the discussion to find i replied to it already! Sometimes its neat to find that over the course of a year my opinion or take on a subject has changed.

hi bunnybon I do that too as while I am looking for the bes respnse if I spot any uncommented on resp;onses I will catch them then.I really dislike it when the poster will pick two or three to comment to and go past mine and many others. If the or she is ju st not getting it all done surely they would not skip around so I figure they are just p icking out close friends and the rest of us can go to the devil.

yep. thats so funny. thanks for the laugh about go to the devil.

hi rosekiss I try not to make more discussions than I have time to comment back to and I know its rude not to comment back. S I do try my bvst to comment to everyone, I may have to do it in several days b ut I will do it.I think its rude not to comment back toa every response so I really do try to.

hi bunnybon I really feel bad when I miss some and I will go back and check often now as I do get some new ones on some of my older discussions. I do try to get them all commented on and sometimes have to make two stabs at it when I run out of time.Although I am retired I sometimes have something else to do first then I come back here but I will try my best to get caught up.

thats it with me also Hatley. i often think of more discussions but am in fear of not having time to respond back.

hi inertia not my discussion but some one else'ss and I just resopnded to it as it was interesting then realized there were no comments.so actually he may have had problems and could not use his computer or he left here entirely.The discussion is 7 months old. I admit I should have checked hir profile bu I did not , time being short for me that day .

hi inertia yes as I would have to go back in the discussions I have respondeddto to find that one then check his profile so guess thats a real waste of time for me. lol,

Thats okay though. Even if he left whats the difference. To go and check everyones profile all the time can be a pain. I have noticed that people do come here, sign up and post a few things and never come back. That happens at all sites actually.

hi louievill of course as when we were new we all made some mistakes even if we had read all the information.sometimes it takes awhile to get it through my head then I will go aha of course and i am off to do it right. lol I really do not know why that user did not return to his discussion so its not kind to just assume he did not care. I really do not know.

Hik ElicBxn yes I think only one in a hundred here ever read the information as they think they know it all so when they make little they whine and leave.. If only they would read the guidelines and FAQ;'s they might understand what the heck I am driving at.Making a zillion discussions dose not pay much,making good comments to the responses one gets will pay really well.

hi blue65packer b ut the silly thing is nobody wants to hear what I am saying but they all just w ant money so o kay since you get only one penny for a discussion and you want the almighty dollar you will olnly earn by commenting back on the responses and commenting back pays in money all that most w ant here.Sol one cents olr one dollar take their choice.A lot of people here do not care and they do not get why we who care do care so be it. I cannot change that. i like me the way I am so what?

Hi John thats so funny in a way as all reprimand me for caring so much and point out thatf all they are after is money thats why they do not comment back well gee whiz exuse me but they will not make that damned money unless they type back comments yeah do a little honest work then they will earn some money .I think a lot here are just plain lazy.They are the losers as that wa makes you good earnings.

hi pahak no there were no comments on any of the responses before I even posted mine..I am wondering now if the poster was tied up in work or lost his computer or what as usually people will at least comment on some of their responses.I do not really give a fig about my response as thats not what I was thinking about as I started the discussion but about why people even make a discussion if they do not want to have people interact and discuss it with them. do they erroneously think they get paid for oyr responses which they do not?.

hi pointless questions yes I do think so many still have an idea that all they need do is type up a discussion then wait for all the responses and make a fortune well they are wrong. WE did the work so we get the pay., You type comments you will earn nicely we type responses we earn nicely.I wish people really really would read the guidelines and tge FAQ's too.people keep at me why do I care? well why not as its my mylot and yours too so we should care a bit I think,

hi shiesse well treally I though mylot p eople shuld work as a team so what one does in the team does sort of reflect on others too. I have now decided if I respond it is only those who I know will comment back as Its my time and my effort I have expended and it could better be used elsewhere. So I think we all should work more together really.i am not telling anyone what to do but suggesting that if one wants to earn here on discussions they make the only way is to comment back on all responses. so if they do not want to earn fine.I will continue to do what I myself thinks best for me.
