Today I received the most likes and responses that I have had to date, maybe its because I responded to a lot more posts myself yesterday? “For it is in giving that we receive.” ~ Francis of Assisi Good Morning, I am hoping to get to read a lot more on myLot today and hopefully I can get a kind of rapport going to get my stats up. My photo is of a group of Ibis which can be described as follows: "The ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. "Ibis" derives from the Latin and Ancient Greek word for this group of birds"

That's definitely the way to do it, the more you respond to others, the more they will respond to you.

Well, well, well, you learn something every day. I'd always thought the Ibis was some sort of antelope. Unfortunately for you, your association with @Inlemay may be to your detriment. Shady character that one. Best to stay clear

This is precisely the way to make progress at Mylot, but not always so easy. I often find that there are very few discussions to which I can offer some worthwhile response, which does make me appear less active.

@SophieY See, you don't even know it landed there . That's how i was too before , i don't go to Top Rated . But when someone informed me that my post is at the topmost , since then i would always see who are on the Top Rated . I feel so happy because after that some of my posts landed there again and got lots of responses , because after 24 hours it will be removed there but would still be at the Hot Category .

I'm glad the site is working well for you. We saw many of these birds today in our pastures on our way home from Perth in Western Australia to Donnybrook further south.
