Is MyLot getting more quiet? Or have I just been busy with real-world stuff?

It seems like MyLot activity has been a tad slow over the past week. A Most Recent Discussion will remain so for longer than I'm used to. Have you noticed it too? Or have I just been a bit "out of the loop" due to a busy work schedule? I'm off to Guitar Center now for an "Open House" (we're trying to sign up more guitar and piano students and give a discount during our Open Houses). I'll be back for some MyLotting Pleasure this afternoon. It's cloudy and cold out--not a hiking day.

@porwest I think it is childish for someone to block you simply because that person disagrees with you on a political issue.

@vandana7 Slower pace. People used to seem to latch onto a new post much more quickly.
It is also funny to me that more people have blocked me than ever before...mostly due to differences in politics, and I am making more money than I have ever made on here and much more easily.
It is perplexing. But ALMOST makes me want to get more people to block me.

@FourWalls Yeah...hope she is not too cold for 87 years old. She called me and said something that is eating me now. Kinda..thanked me for looking after her. Usually, when such words are uttered I end up crying and my nose leaks almost as much as my eyes. I was near tears at the airport. It felt as if she was saying I am not returning. This is goodbye. I wish covid was not there, and I wish I could have given her a hug.

@vandana7 — we had snow earlier this week. Hope your aunt packed her woolen underwear!

Horse has the ability to bring some casualness and fun here. And when Vanny jumps in (You would have probably figured out who) then it can become a kind of party.
Plus a few more guys.
With these folks, I have had some discussions which became so long that it soon became unclear as to who was responding to what but it was fun!

@vandana7
Does that qualifies for a word named "Obfuscation". We have a similar name for a Programming code that we use in Oracle Database for certain functions- in a way to "hide" the exact thing.

I had fun yesterday, but wasn't really in a "selling myself" mood. I had a delighful 7-year-old boy "on the line" but didn't bother to reel him in. Daddy was hesitant to let the kids touch the guitars, but I told him it was fine, and wound up giving the little boy and his 4-year-old sister "free lessons." I just didn't do my "sales" thing of showing them the teaching rooms and taking them to my Supervisor to tell them about our "special rates if you sign up today." Maybe I should read "Trump's" The Art f the Deal and work on my sales skills. Except I think I sold two guitars and a ukulele yesterday. Sigh. The Horse learns to go Corporate.

It is not only your feeling. MyLot is very quiet from several days. It is true that the nice season is coming and many are busy outside, but I sense that many think that the earnings are down and it's not worth spending time here.
I love to interact here, the earnings is only a little incentive and a plus, but for many the earnings are a must.

@TheHorse I am not here for the money, what I make in one day is not even enough to buy a coffee at the bar. I enjoy the interaction and reading about other people.
The older gay, do you mean Alfredo? He wrote a post last Sunday and this week too. He feels a little better now.

I make a game of the earnings. Of course I make more in an hour of work than I make in a month here. But I look forward to the interaction here. Speaking of which, do you know what happened to the older gay fella? He is one of my favorite MyLotters.

I know we're not supposed to talk about money here, so just between you and me, if it keeps going like this, I won't make this month's arbitrary goal of $435,876,998,221.18.

@TheHorse Dang, I might fall short of your goal too. Maybe if I blow off this afternoon's jam party and just write all afternoon...
-------That's a tough call...at least it would be for me. Are a few billion dollars worth a jam party? Especially if it's strawberry jam. That's my favorite.

@xander6464 Are you sure those aren't actually Hot Asian brides dressing up and trying to separate you from your wallet? I heard from Alex Jones that Democrats have hired Jigglypuff to put people to sleep so Liberal-supported Asian Brides can steal their money and open up Pizza Parlors.

@TheHorse - It could be getting slower on MyLot because a lot of people are getting vaccinated, Covid numbers are down in many parts of the U.S., businesses are opening up, and people are getting out more. I think people are starting to enjoy their lives more, and things have been calmer now that the election is over, too. People are moving on with their lives, and that is a good thing.

@DeborahDiane I enjoyed the relatively isolated beach that surrounded the UCSB campus. When I wanted to "girl watch," I went to Goleta Beach.

@TheHorse - I agree. Laguna Beach looks like there was never a pandemic. Restaurants, bars, shops, hotels, etc. are packed. By July, the beach will be packed, too. I try to enjoy it in the very early morning.

I was not much here in last few weeks as I am recovering from Covid in home isolation. I am coming here for some time since last two days. Not much energy to be here for long. I am napping a lot.
I guess as always activities pick up towards the end of the month when everyone wants to reach their goal.
