Hi everyone! First of all, let me clear up my username! I was on my tablet when I joined, and am still getting used to using its keyboard. I meant for my username to be "pondering one", but, you all can see how it turned out! Operator error, is all I can say. I see no options for changing it, so I guess I'm stuck with it! lol Anyhow, I'm looking forward to being a part of the discussions, and I hope I can bring something interesting, thoughtful or funny to the group discussions.

There's more of a problem with the end of the word...

@asfarasiknow I know, right? Long as nobody adds a consonant that isn't there, between the "g" and the "o", its all good!

Welcome to myLot. The key here is not dwell on earnings and that comments/responses are as important if not more so than posts.

Hmmm, since it wasn't what I intended, I'm guessing pondering-oh?

Yes, indeed. Once you have typed your username, it's set in stone. The only way of changing it would be to send a PM to @goaskalice (the Admin) and ask him to delete your account and then to make a new one. Welcome to myLot! I think you'll find that people are pretty friendly here. You may find it useful to read this page:
A Quick Users Guide to MyLot. How and why you should use MyLot.

Thank you for the link, Owlwings. Some of it I read before posting, some of it I hadn't, so it was helpful. I think I'll keep the username, even though it wasn't quite as intended. It just proves I'm human!

That happens to more than you know. If you're not overly invested yet you could simply delete this profile and rejoin with the corrected username. Then again, maybe it could end up being fun to leave it as is.

Well, at least your username will always be something a bit different and perhaps even an occasional talking point. Unlike usernames, we can at least edit our discussions, reponses and comments if we need to. And I do. Every single time.
