It Should End in Zero or in Five

Freak! I am not quite so focused on ending in a zero or a five but I don't like leaving my post count on any number that includes a six! If I am in the 60's then I will power through until reaching the 70's etc. God knows what I will do when I reach the 6000's! lol. I think at that time I am going to have to go on a mylot bender.

This happens to me all the time. I just wouldn't call it a day till I reach a round figure, either ending with a 0 or a 5 as you have put it there. It feels good to see myself at a round figure. Its like accomplishing something, completing some task, a feeling of fulfillment. I think our mind sets are such that we feel happy for things that may appear petty but is enormous to us. It's all about it achieving targets and a nice, presentable one.

Nah, I've never done it with my post number, but I do it with page numbers when I'm reading or writing, and other stuff as well. When I was pregnant with my daughter I spent the entire pregnancy trying to come up with a name for her that would add up to 8. By the time she was born I still hadn't succeeded! But is this kind of thing 'obsessive compulsive', or is it just very precise thinking?? I vote for thinking, hehehe.

I do about the same thing. I just come on & start a discussion when I can think of one. I try to ALWAYS comment to every response. Some days I seem to have discussion block. Then I look at discussions friends have started. Then I pop around all over the place looking for interesting discussions. Sometimes I look at my last discussion & try to go to every respondent's discussion to return the favor. Sometimes I go to the "No Response" Tab & try & find one or more to answer. Sometimes I go to the most popular tab. Sometimes I go to the "New Member" Tab & work from there. I jump all over the place & find different interesting discussions & new friends. I do my BEST to stop at the "0" if I'm anywhere near close. I will go to the "5" if I have too many left to get to the "0". I have fallen asleep at my keyboard working to get to the "0".

hi SaintAnne i think, number ending in 0 or 5 is also a good number. i didnt actually cross my mind that eveytime i leave myLot i should have those numbers. hmmhh.. but now you gave me an idea. i can do it today but not on other days, because there are days that I am just busy with work and I cant monitor the posts i make. have fun. good luck!

hi .. i never felt any thing like that may be since i am a new user but from the day i started i stop only when i feel sleepy.. have a nice day..

I am a woman of words, not numbers. So, I hardly notice the number next to my user name. :) Cheers and happy mylotting

That is a clever way to motivate yourself and make posting here more interesting. I don't even look at my numbers most of the time. I just type as fast as I can and try to get through all the notices. If I don't have time for all of them, I make sure to reply to the discussions started by people who are faithful in replying to my own first and then the ones that are easiest to answer and then the most interesting. Sometimes the others get deleted...oops.

Oh that is interesting, unfortunately I don't pay much attention to my number. I suspect I will do the same as you do now...

WoW it's just doing mylot in the most enjoyable way, I just learned that, Thanks for the idea. I never count my posts in a day for as long as I respond to interesting topics and post my share of discussions, I'm fine for the day. Thanks again!

Hi anne! Yes I do try to do that to! But unfortunately there are some nights or should I say early mornings that I just can't find just one or two more discussions to answer or I just can't keep my eyes open another second! I thought I was the only one with that crazy "secret" system! Do you think that there are alot more of us out there? I wonder! I had not thought about it before. I just thought that it was me and my own little craziness trying to end with the 5 or 0 just to make it easier to remember where to start off the next day! I guess I shouldn't be surprised that if anyone else would have thought of it that it would you my dearest friend! Another thing to add to our list of things in common!lol

Hi its great habit and i used to have a habit of making responses in ending with count of 0 everyday at end..say i make 10,20,30 responses depend on time but definetely try to end up with 0 nos of responses,really interesting to know one more friend here like me

hi Oh yeah, exactly that's what I do. I either finish it off with 0 or 5. If anyone finds me with the number of post indicating at end not a 0 or 5, it implies, i'll surely come back. May be I have to quit for something temporarily or may be my net connection is got snapped. Even if when I want to take a break for a cup of tea, I try to end with 0 or 5. I don't know why it's so. But I just like it.

Sounds like an obsessive compulsive disorder to me. :-p But to answer your question.. no, I don't pay attention to the number of posts I made.

[i]Hi Anne, I have the same attitude during my first 3 weeks here back in April this year...I always love to end my number at 8 and after that, I was tried already! LOL![/i]

Hi there! I don't have any goal or issues regarding the number of post I have to make in a day. I just start posting and don't stop until I feel sleepy. In my regular days I make around 20 responses. If I make more than 20 much better but I'm satisfied with 20. Ciao!

Hi SaintAnne! I don't have a quota here, but I wish I can start one new discussions in a single day. But that doesn't seem to happen at all. I also have a habit here on mylot but a little bit different. I just don't like the last number to be 6 and 13 any number is fine apart from this two. I remember when I reached 600 posts I did my best to get out from that number, lol.
