I have been getting a bit tired of these stupid sick questions, and sometimes I answer back on the same iq level. I wish I could turn them in, but they are border line off the rules. I am spending too much time looking for a good question. What do we have going on here?

Sorry that you have a tough time finding things to answer. Are all your friends or at least the busier ones 'notify on'. So far that has kept me plenty busy through all the Mylot difficulties that I have been experiencing. The rating system is to rate those discussion you have an opinion about. Things have seemed to slow a bit here and I am fortunate to have plenty of friends that they discussions come in just in time for me. Good luck and hope to see more of your discussions. I have some up my sleeve when I can get them posted!!

I am selective with my friends, and keep cleaning them out. If they do not write questions or respond to my posts, what friend are they. Right? Everything is on, I get plenty of responses. It's me, looking to answer someone elses posts. :)

Hi sorry to interrupt u'll, but one funny thing happened in my life and i m worried what to do. I like to ask question to only gals, i want to see how fair they r to help a guy like me. I was in deep love with one gal 1 yr older than me. Its all abt 4 yrs back, she told me to keep hope to get marry her, at that moment she was very serious wid one guy she knew since 5 yrs and that guy broke up wid her and married to some gal arranged by his family. I wasnt there with this gal whom i loved and she was very depressed wid the situation created by her boyfriend, now a friend of her came in and handled the situation and both of them fall in love but this guy told her clearly he cant marry her, still this gal had feeling for this guy and had everything in their relationship. I accepted the fact that she wont b mine, i forgot her but unfortunately she always saw hubby kinda feeling in me, she told me she will marry me but when i will stable than only. i tried my best and got stabled but still she doesnt want that guy to leave until v get marry, but now the situation is i dont want to accept gal who broke her virginity with some1 else. Now u'll tell me what to do. still she hopes that i will marry her ven i told her i dont want to.

Well, before we were interjected with an off topic response, I would say that when you friends start discussions those should end up in your email too. I also have taken to answering topics below the ones where I am answering and thus expanding my reponse base. So hoping you find your way, would be a real loss if you chose to stop at this site.

You seem to be getting quite discouraged here. I am sorry that you are getting bored with it. I know how you feel though. I personally have gotten bored, hince the reason I haven't been on as often. Most topics are all copies of someone elses...maybe worded a little differently, but pretty much the same. I get tired of doing the same answer over and over again. I have actually gotten way to addicted to myspace, I wish I got paid for that! hehe I would probably be quite wealthy by now if so.

Yes, that is how I feel. I have posted a lot, and get plenty of replys that keep me busy answering back. But, I would like to respond more to other posts too. There is so much garbage on here from people just to earn a penny or two. Thanks for understanding.

Hi! I am, too. I try to ask questions about topics I need to know about and those get very little exposure compared to the stupid topics. So, let's talk about your art. What is the silhouette art that you do? That sounds very interesting. I want to get into painting but I find that at the end of the day, I'm so tired I don't have the motivation. How did you learn to paint watercolors? Today I did get the new issue of the fish and aquarium magazine I love, so that's what I'm doing tonight after work. :-)

Wow! You are very, very talented! My cat is a MC, so I loved your cat silhouettes! :-) My hubby and I are working on setting up a 40 or so gallon tank. My blood parrots will go in that tank since they are stronger swimmers, are more aggressive, and will grow to be the largest. In my 10 gallon tank, I'm going to leave my clown loach and my royal farlowella (an algae eater) and add the tequila sunrise guppies and the blue tetras from my one gallon into the 10 gallon. I really enjoy watching my fish! The parrotfish have so much personality and the funniest expressions. They're like cartoon fish! LOL Anyway, I've found fishkeeping to be really relaxing and I enjoy learning about all fish. :-)

Thanks again for your great compliment on my art work.
I am glad that you are interested in your fish. They can be a very relaxing form of stress relieving too. I loved our tanks when we had them. Now I am busy with two cats. Enjoy them, and thanks again for the good conversations and compliments my friend.

Don´t worry about your spontaneous posting of getting bored with the same old subjects again and again.
I feel exactly the same way sometimes. It´s frustrating to waste a lot of time just searching for s.th. half interesting to post to. If nobody complained about it (I´ve done it a while ago) things would get back to the "Pepsi or coke" discussions again.
Have a look at your friends discussions (this is not a hint) or see if you can find s.th. doing a search. I´ve sometimes found really good discussions unfortunately with hardly any answers that way. Have a nice day.

Do you mean sick as in lame, or sick as in disgusting? I have seen a few of both. If I answer lame questions, I still try to make sure that I can add something of interest and substance. Maybe some of them are really matters of curiosity. It probably is a waste of my time, though, because if they are that simple, eventually they will be wiped off the board, along with any credits we might get for responses. I even have some people on my friend's list that post kind of lame questions, but, I try to chalk it up to trying to improve their English, but I could very well be wrong. I seem to find plenty of questions up my alley, though, as well.

I don't know if the last few discussions I started where bad but hardly anyone answered. Today I started one about how I was having trouble sleeping because of the break in at my house and if anyone had any ideas how to overcome the fear and only one person answered.

I too am getting tired of some of these questions. I try my best to create good questions and topics but sometimes it is hard to come up with something decent. I have been checking out other sites as well and it is even worse on these other sites. It is sad that people do not enjoy a good conversation anymore. Try not to let them get to you too much. I try to ignore them as much as I can.

About a month ago I was havving the same problem looking for a discussion to respond to and then the changes began at mylot and it seemed to improve things. It may be starting again with new users. I would start looking in the friends discussion section if that helps to weed through faster

Well I would put some questions out there, but I really can't think of anything to bring up. I don't want to start up a cheezy conversation and it be as uninviting as a few of the others that show up on here..I will keep wracking my brain, one of these days a lightbulb will go off. lol
I think what we have going on here is a bunch of people who can't think of anything to bring up, so they just ask something that doesn't take much thought..I keep expecting someone to ask.."how often do you change your underwear"? That's about as bad as some of them are. Geeeeeeeeez.

Well, you are right. If it isn't of some value, better not to post it instead of some of this junk that is on here. Problem is, is that there is soooooooooooo much junk. Keep up your good work answering, and post when you think of something.

Yes it is frustrating to go through post after post after post that are obviously nothing more than someone posting garbage just cause they think they will get more money.
I got so upset with it the other day that I started writing back garbage and sarcastic comments, which is really not me. Now I rate them with a negative. Hopefully they will get the message.
The best luck I've had on finding good discussions it to go to my interests and read the posts there.

The definition of a good question can be subjective and what is good for one may not be so for the other. It would be helpful for the discussion if you can elaborate on what is a good question.
Generally speaking, bad questions do outnumber the good ones and it is the nature of forums everywhere, paid forums or not.

Well you shouldn't answer if you feel like that, If I don't like a discussion I don't answer it I just move on. Your up to almost 10,000 and look whos talking. I think it has helped you. who to say what is stupid on here.

I don't know if you do this already or not, but search the new topics, check out the profiles of the MyLotter that have questions that peak your interest. Sometimes you can find
folks that have fresh new perspectives...good luck

All I have to say is that every one is different and their grasp on enlish may play a role in what is asked. I think it's kinda cool that we have all sorts of people here on this site, but it does get annoying when you get simple minded posts or quesitons. It seems to come and go in waves.
