Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for October 2020?

I actually had a bit of WORK (as in making money) this month, but not enough to keep me away from MyLot. It's been a slow and steady month for me on MyLot. I've already passed by "default" goal of $00XX.YYYY, and think I can make 00XQ.YYYY if I can find interesting things to talk about (and read). But making 00XG.YYYY is going to be tough!
How about you? Are you a non-essential human, like me, struggling to find work? Are you happily retired? Have you set a totally arbitrary MyLot goal for this month? Photo is of me in my hi-lux recliner, smoking a cig. Or maybe not.

Nope. I may not make cash out, the first time in a long time, I have been working a lot and I took a break from being online.

@kobesbuddy That was my first thought. How in the heck did you get out? Thanks for the chuckle.

@TheHorse I backed up and dropped into a deep laundry basket at seven months pregnant! Bruce was laughing so hard, he almost couldn't help me get out!

Totally and arbitrarily.
You look like a brat in that picture. No wonder Vanny picks on you.

Cute picture. I make payout every month; but I'm FAR from my old numbers because I hardly ever post a Discussion. That's OK because I'm on a hiatus from writing. Have a terrific Tuesday.

@LindaOHio I am pretty sure I socialize here more than in real life these days.

I do this post every month as a kind of "joke." I'm teasing myself and others who are concerned with how much they make here. In reality, I wouldn't set goals. Just get involved in lots of conversation and enjoy the interaction. When you are new, you might make a penny a day. I would guess the average fairly active veteran MyLotter (it's actually spelled myLotter) makes 20 cents a day. Some really prolific and/or well-known MyLotters may average as much as a dollar a day! But those folks are rare.

You know I don't set goals, but I will see payout this time.

@TheHorse I might be 2 dollars above, certainly 1 anyway.

@BarBaraPrz Heh. You know I'm only kidding around, right? On to more important matters, I just got a call and am gong to go jam (play music) with a buddy this afternoon.

Was on furlough for a good two weeks give or take. Got new work that started yesterday, Monday. That was one thing to be happy about but truth be told. Not sure how long this new gig will last. I'll be happy if I still have this job until the end of the year.
Job prospects are not looking good.
I'm twenty cents off my monthly goal so hoping I have enough days to make that figure up. It will be sure nice to get a payout next month.

@TheHorse I have no idea but I do know I will know it when I find it. I usually look for all topics but lately I am concentrating on food articles and recipes I like that idea,

I am never making enough money, but between the wife and I... When I started reading this, before I read on further, I thought you were talking about mylot and that your wife is on here as well. I must be tired.

@TheHorse He's a real cutie for sure. Glad you found the other picture. I admire your love of kids. I like them too. But as I get older I have less and less patience for them. It probably would have been different had I actually become a father.

I was gonna ask what's that you are holding in your mouth... I am crossing my fingers I get to $5 when the month is over. Other than that, no goals for me.

@lovebuglena No, I checked. The kids knew I loved Altoids. But it was not an Altoid. I didn't want the kid to choke and looked closely. It was a part of something (but not Buzz).

@TheHorse Could it be a breath mint or some such candy? I thought it was a pic of you when you were a kid.

@DocAndersen I think he has a few Ferraris. He might try to trade with you and throw in a Mustang (that he secretly has three of) as bait. Beware.

I have been slow here for a few months but am trying my best to at least hit minimum payout which I believe I can get with few cents away and we still have a week to go. With the pandemic around of which I must report to work I would say I am an essential worker. I am an essential human being because I must do something for my family and for the community.

@TheHorse thanks that's very generous of you. Thanks for helping me get rich. We're all essential human beings. Speaking of essential it's always the word that I would haggle with most taxpayers when I make tax assessment as to whether their product or services are essential or non essential.
