Are you too busy for MyLot?

It's more of on & off, I am usually doing something else at the same time, like taking phone calls for work or watching a movie and typing at the same time.

For your sake, I hope you get more time - and always make sure you eat something! At least grab some fruit on the way to work, an orange or peach or something yummy with water content! I hear you about classes, working and going to school is so rough!

Yeah, I'm not quitting mine anyway, esp. not now when we've got tons of overtime! :)

What kind of classes are you taking? I'm in college, too, taking math, health and communications this semester. That is some wild lipstick! :)

That's such a nice thing to say, thank you! :) I was watching the playoffs until KC lost, that's the only team I really care about. Football is my favorite, I am not a big basketball/baseball fan. What musical are you going to be in and what part are you playing? That does sound like you've got a lot going on - make sure you take time for a deep breath! :)

Sorry to hear about your son's teeth, poor baby :( I hope he and your daughter get to feeling better. Our schools (Kansas) have been getting it easy, they had 3 days off (incld. today) thanks to the snow we've been getting. Too bad the same doesn't go for work, ha ha! :)

How are you liking your new job? What kind of work are you doing? Do you like it more than your old job? Hang in there, it gets better. January through April is our "peak season" so I'll be running around crazy for awhile - they even have me doing 8 hours of overtime on Saturday - sheesh!

I don't like Duno. I did at first, when I had $6 on there. Then they changed the rates (lowered them) and now not everyone gets paid, you're in a drawing, so you could post 100 times and still not win. Screw that! I'd rather hang out on MyLot.

30 minutes a day is good - the best way is to use the 1/2 hour to your best advantage, start new discussions. You can always find some time later to respond.

I don't know what flickr is. I don't have blogs but I have heard they are fun (but also time consuming). I can't get on MyLot for 3 hours a day like I used to because I am SOOOOOO busy with work and school, it's a freakin' madhouse! I just want five to ten free minutes to read a book that *I* want to read, or to relax. But I've got too much work to do for that, if I take five minutes it just means I'm going to have to work that much harder to stay caught up, it sucks!

I have dial-up so I know what you mean - GRR. It's so slow, esp. when I try to post pictures, or if I have a topic that is more than 3 or 4 paragraphs long.

It's usually on when I'm at work, too. But I try to close it out after an hour or so because I have to do my homework - if I stay on MyLot it won't get done - just like today, I'm supposed to be reading a chapter for my health class right now! :(

I think that would defeat the purpose of MyLot. Think about it, how hard have the good posters on here worked to make it where you have to post something with significance and hopefully spelled correctly? If it were easier, then people would just post whatever they wanted, "hi I'm Sue" or "I like dogs" and get paid and there wouldn't be any GOOD conversations. I know it's time consuming but I also find it to be fun, I enjoy getting on MyLot it's kind of relaxing and then of course, there always the big violent disputes, which are fun, to argue back and forth.

I do not understand your reply. You might try some actual sentences.

Thanks, djbtol, you have a point. Thank God this wasn't Duno, he wouldn't get any points at all!

20 questions a day was my original goal. Lately, I've been making 20 posts a day and just struggling to respond back to all the people who've responded to me. I haven't gone and responded to anyone else's discussions (I usually start with the "discussions with no responses") in a couple of weeks.

I still don't know what goldage is. Do you have dial-up, that's probably why your computer and internet connection is slow. When I'm at home, it takes forever to post and it's hard to post pictures, but when I'm at work, it's a lot faster b/c they have DSL (and I dialup at home).

I think that's how it works for most people, you find out about MyLot, see how cool it is, post a ton of questions and then after awhile it sort of tapers off. I'm not on here nearly as much as I was the first week I heard about this, ha ha :)

??? I really can't understand what you're trying to say. I think MyLot wants to have posts which are actually worth something. You can't use one word answers all of the time and expect to get paid for it. I have about 850 posts and I have made $45. The way I see it, I'm on the computer anyway and I'm bored, why not make money for it?

100 posts a day is very large goal! I'm lucky if I post 20 questions a day. I think it's more important to start a lot of discussions, maybe pick one hour to post questions and then one hour to respond to other people's topics and then one hour to respond to people who responded to you. That's all I can do at a time, it's usually 3 hours a week, though not 3 hours a day.

That's the problem with me, I spend so much time on MyLot that I forget to go through my old emails and then I have hundreds of messages to sort through! :(
