Ugghh! I have seemed to have gotten burnt out on myLot. Or it's just the greiving maybe. Or even possibly the Holidays approaching. Or maybe I am just bored to death. I have no idea actually but I have not felt like being on mylot at all the past week or so. I do not know if I'll make payout this month as I am not even half way there yet and really don't seem to have an interest in doing much. Are you burnt out as well or what?

Yeah the discussions as of late have been, shall I say, boring. That's one reason I haven't been doing much here as well. Holiday stress is the lesser of all my stresses this past month or two actually. HAHAHA! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Mooch, from my experiences here as far as odd ball earning days, sometimes when discussions are this boring members respond to older discussions and hence we earn for those responses making it seem that we earned a lot more actually. I did nothing for a few days and still made a bit iof cash for responses to old discussions of mine. I seem to be earning at least one cent per 10 responses at this time is all.

Well, I don't know I am only a few hours old. So, Has it been profitable for you. Are you bored with the amount of money or types of posts?

A few months old and can type and read. Grats! HAHAHAHA! Anyhow, bored with the discussions is all. I don't worry a lot about the cash it's just an added perk is all for me. I am my fathers caregiver and am home all day long so this is my fun time all day long lately. Thanks for dropping in also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I'm not burnt out but I've been really busy so I haven't been able to be on a lot here lately. I got a new little baby to start watching that is 2 months old so he takes up much of my time but I don't mind cause he's the sweetest little boy.

I am hoping to make payout by February, as my earnings have been climbing less than 5 cents a day. It hasn't mattered how many topics I answer or start. I can understand burn out.

I am just burnt out in general, I work 55-60 hours a week for very little money, actually it does not even cover the bills. I do this because it is a nice way to kill time, there is not much on TV. I think there is one new show that I watch every week and that is it, I like one or 2 other shows but never get to see them. My days off are spent going to work for meetings it seems like every other week at least one. It always takes me at least 3 months to make a payout...I am at a 1.61. This time it may take 4 months.

Hi Grandpa Bob! I can't say I'm burnt out on here because I just came back on yesterday, but as far as being bernt out with everything else like the holidays, school, work, etc. I am burnt out like you are. It seems like it's been a really long year and I don't seem to have the energy I used to. I had a hard enough time getting up the motivation to do the Christmas tree. Maybe this is just a temporary thing that will pass quickly after we get a little bit of rest, at least I hope that's what it is. Good luck and hope you are feeling better again soon.

I haven't felt like doing much of anything today including answer or posting discussions. I spent a good part of yesterday answering discussions and it paid off but today is different. I totally understand what you are saying about a burn out. We work so hard on here and the pay is low. It's been interesting along the way.

Well you did take the time to answer mine and that's deeply appreciated. It takes a push from the inner being to get going for me at times. Once I start I find it hard to stop as well. HAHAHA!! I love it and am not in it for the cash. That's just an added perk for me. I love all the friendships I've made in my 13 months here so far. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Yeah I have not seen you around in some time as well. Welcome back for now anyhow. HAHAHA!! I've had a rest of sorts. But I think mine was due mostly to the stress level I have experienced the past few weeks/months. Uggh! Welcome back again. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

With all you have been through lately, take a much needed break. I am not really burnt out. If I were you, I would go hide for the next two weeks...lol. I think you are feeling ok, given what has recently happened. In time, you will feel like your old self.

Hi Grandpa Bob, This doesn't surprise me with all you've been through lately. Don't push yourself, and just do what you can. I understand what you mean, about things being quiet here. It could be the holidays, but there have been other things going on too. One dear lady, who loves myLot, has apparently been banned, and we can't seem to get her back, not matter how hard we all try. I've just added her to my friends list, and she's accepted me, but can only 'read here' right now, and no posting. Such a long, sad story. Another of my friends is going through something really horrible, that I can't even speak of here. Then I feel bad for all you've gone through, so things have been getting me down too. I find Christmas an emotional time for me, as well, with memories of my parents, who passed away, many, many years ago, and of my late husband too. I've got a couple of discussion ideas, and so I guess I'll start them, but can't promise you too much excitement there.;) Hugs to you, and take care of yourself.

The only special about it will be getting away with the wife for a night at the casino and hotel two days before the Holiday. Some alone time with her is what we both need badly I think. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I never push myself. Mainly because I am way too lazy. HAHAHAHA! I guess I have been throuhg just a little lately huh? Yeah I wonder why that occured as far as that specific member. Any word yet as to why that member was banned? I'm surprised they haven't started another account just to contact myLot admin at least. That's what I did when I got banned. helped a lot too. Thoughts and prayers going your way at this time of the year as well. Take care and have a great Holiday Season. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Thanks so much, Grandpa Bob, as the thoughts and prayers mean so much to me, as well. I feel so bad for this myLotter, and do so hope, that they'll be back this week, or by the holidays. I'm praying you'll have a special holiday season, with your family and friends. You deserve it!

i guess sometimes it's good to take a break. Then more questions will pop up. And especially if you're grieving. Enjoy your family, enjoy the season, and hope to see you back here refreshed grandpa bob!

I just found out about this place last week...going strong I guess. Then again, if I had 5700+ posts I am not sure I would ever want to see a keyboard again. Will let you know if I ever half as many posts as you and give you an update on my burnout level.

I've been here over a year though. I started but didn't do much for a few months. The points add up quickly. I am here about 12 hours a day at leaset. Mainly because I am retired and take care of my ailing father whom lives with me. So I am home all day long I might as well play on the puter I figured. Besides I'm officially addicted to myLot. HAHAHA!! Thanks again for dropping in. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

You'll make payout. I have faith in you. :-) I get bored so very easy. I have burnout at leat twice a week from the computer, period. You have been through a lot in the last month or so. I would have burned out a long time before you did. You'll get back to your normal self before too long. (hugs)

Just a general burn-out for me, Grandpa Bob, not just myLot specifically. I have been fighting dragons where I am and I am very tired. I hope the season's merriment infects us both and soon! Happy holidays to you and your family, Grandpa Bob, and God bless. A big hug from Granny Siggi.

Dragon gifhting is very difficult when you bring a butter knife to fight them. This I know. But my dragon fighting seems to eased off for a bit now. Hope they stay away for awhile now. It's been a very stressfull couple of months for my wife and myself to say the least. may the spirits brighten your days soon as well. Thanks. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Glad to see that you have made a comeback in the last week! I'm not sure if I will make payout again this month or not. And this is the best month I have had yet. I am $1.66 away from payout! So, though it may be close in whether I make payout or not, not sure that I will be able to pull it off! Oh well, If not it will carry over to next month and have a bigger payout!

I am no getting burnt out, but a bit bored. I look at most of the discussions and they just don't interest me. I can't muster up anything to say to them. I don't answer if I have nothing to say. I keep seeing a bunch of discussions that I feel like I have already answered five other times as well.
