Have you ever found your self running out of discussions to respond to, either there is no interesting ones or you just don't find any that you can think of what to say because it takes the words out of your mouth? So from this question to the next have you ever clicked on a random person's name in the responses to your discussions or to your friends discussions to just see if their discussions are something to respond to? Well today I found myself doing this and I tell ya what I found a lot of good discussions to respond to by doing that. I just thought maybe you all would like to know what I do when I get bored from doing the same old topics and such. Happy Mylotting

And thank you very much for being bored. I do that sometimes. One day last week I responded to 15 discussions in a row all started by the same person because I did that. I normally pick a few people a week to do that too.

i find myself running out of thoughts all the tim and trying to post something different then what we are use too.it really takes a lot of research to come up with a new and fresh ideal.there is many subject but keeping focus on a good subject is hard to do.sometime we do whats easyer more so what is different and fresh.

I haven't done that before, it's a good idea though. If I'm stuck for anything else, I generally have a look at the no responses and new user tabs. I'll try that in future, though.

If you try this I ensure you that you will get more discussions to respond to.

This happens to me all the time, I just go to some of my interests and see what's there of interest I can post to or I look at what some of my friends have posted even if it's a day or so old and answer them. I get some responses to discussions I made 3 or 4 weeks ago.

I do the same. I sometimes too post to topics/discussions that are even sometimes a few months old.

Sometimes I find myself running out of discussions to comment on but I think that is because I have been on the computer too long and have exhausted all the recent ones. One of the comments to this discussion mentioned going to the discussions that have no responses and posting some there. I never thought about that and think I will try it.

I sometimes find good ones to respond to when I go to the no response area. It always works.

Well, I know when I take the time to go thru and respond back to discussions my friends have started, a lot of times I will find Good discussions to respond back too that I might have missed otherwise. It can get boring around here if you do not have a different type of routine on here that you do from time to time. I always like to shake things up a little myself, and you never know where I might be posting next.

I recive all discussions in my email from my friend. I do confess I get a tonm on them. So I do go through and choose which ones I want to respond to. Some I have no clue, or don't understand. I also don't like leaving a comment unlss I can make it a longa nd thoughtful one at least three or four sentences long.

I do the exact same thing I find it sometimes to very hard to get through all of them. Plus sometimes I can't get into the discussion like can to some others, I guess it depends on my mood. Happy Mylotting

I so know what your saying. It is also hard when people start a one sentence discussion. Like we have a lot of information to go off from. Happy Mylotting

I find myself getting caught out on this one a lot! I guess when I have nothing to say I make something up! There are lots of discussions that you can respond to really; just share your thoughts! I'm not creating that much in the way of discussions and I think that I'm going to have to work on this. Happy new year. Andrew

Thank you for this little piece of advice. I log onto myLot everyday, and sometimes it is difficult to find discussions wowrth responding to. then on the otherhand there are discussions where there is nothing for me to add anything to. After hunting through the no response tab I usually just log out and come back later. At least this gives me somewhere else to look for a worthwhile discussion.

You are so very welcome. That is how I feel is that sometimes there is not much to respond to even sometimes in the no response tabs. Although I always go there to see what there is to respond to. Happy Mylotting

When I first started here I would always work with the homepage part for discussions or would respond to friends discussions until I too got the hang of the site. Happy Mylotting

hello,it's depends to daily mood firstly i think. people will like and have interesting to respond every kinds of topic if he/she has a sunny mood, and do have nothing to day and join with any topic once in bad mood.

I do do that. It is a good way to find refreshing discussions to respond to. I have been a mylotter for quite some time now and enjoy it. One of the things you mentioned is what I do regularly.

I think that we can share our ideas for any topic, even if you have nothing to do with it. Its doesnt have to be long sentences to respond, and but aleast you can tell what you think about the topic, and incase its the first time you hear about it, you can share with a question, about what is that about? At least by doing this, you add something to your knowledge. thanks!
