Fighting a Losing Battle

I haven't been able to get the notifications under 100, so you guys have been very busy today. Either that or I hit on the right discussions. Though I did read a lot of them. That said I'm going to try again later today. Say 8 or so hours from now. In the meantime keep those discussions coming so I have even more to read when I get back. Thanks for reading and have a great day/night.

Yesterday evening, before going to bed, I stayed a little hour to go through the notifications that had piled up while I was having dinner and watching TV, but this morning I found 95 new notifications, I have just finished going through them.

Hey! You forgot to feed your "pets" before you went to bed, Valerie! What are all of us supposed to do about breakfast? LOL! I sure hope I didn't wake Valerie up! I know what is going to happen now! @mommaj and @vandana7 are going to come into this beautiful kitchen and start fighting over who gets to poison us with their "cooking" and @purplealabaster is going to come in and whine about eating their cooking and I am going to hide and watch! Later, I think I am going out and head into town and see what's happening there! Maybe I can get away without anyone noticing me! *DE rubs his hands together, grins and hides from everyone... *

@DaddyEvil I will cook for you my pretty. Rummaging in the cabinets. I know I packed that rat poison. LOL You want your pancakes with one lump or 20. HAHA There's an option that I don't have to cook? @vandana7 I will eat whatever you are going to fix. Unless you tell me you are poisoning it for someone special. I mean making it for someone special. @purplealabaster can decorate the table while we wait.

@mommaj The table is decorated and awaiting some DELICIOUS food, so whoever can cook that has my vote. I have always wanted to try Indian food, though.

@mommaj You aren't planning on cutting off @purplealabaster 's petals again, are you? You KNOW Valerie will ask us to leave if PA is running around here nekkid again, right? Make the panny cakes with 20 lumps! When @vandana7 gets here she will steal them from me anyway!

Ohmy goodness, that is a lot of notifications. I have never ever had that many at once. I guess i need to do morre responses so that I can have more notifications. i know that I can do it, and I need to, as I am not earning as much as I would like, but I am thankful for what I am earning.

@just4him Yea, I have to have the proper mindset to do it and it takes motivation as well. I will do it, of that I have no doubt.

If you weren't such a slow-poke, then you would be able to do it. Oh wait, I know who has been active on your discussions, so I take that back. On second thought, let me just say good luck, have fun, and don't stress over not clearing the notifications.

I'm not stressed about cleaning the notifications, but do you know what spilled in the oven? I had to turn on the self-cleaning button this morning when I entered the kitchen.

@purplealabaster I did see something purple in the pancakes this morning. I just thought it was a new exotic spice.

I have never reached my notification counts over 20 at a time. I wondering how do you find the good ones? And how many?

I usually start at over 100, but most days I start at over 200. I do try to clear them out each day, but sometimes that is not possible, especially since they keep updating all the time.

@aju007 When I fist started I went to Explore to read posts. As you read and comment on others posts, they will find you and your posts and read and comment likewise, then your notifications will build up and you will see more than 20 a day.

I'm not stressing. Actually I'm having a lot of fun since a couple people started a side commentary that I've added my two cents to and am having a lot of fun with it.

@Jessicalynnt I'm done for the night. A bit early, but I'm beginning to think the laptop knows it's going to be replaced in two weeks and has given me nothing but trouble all day today.

I try to do them first thing in the morning, then go wandering around the site. Then answer as they come in. I heard someone say the faster you answer the more you make. But that could just be talk.

I think that's true. When I work the notifications from the oldest to newest, I make less money, than when I work them from the top down. You get the people who are still online and able to interact with them, and the more interaction the more you earn.

@fishtiger58 That's how I'm able to make a dollar in 24 hours when my laptop is working properly that is. I'm a bit less than a dollar in 24 right now, but I'm still close to it. It will be interesting to see what I've really got when payday comes.
