I am used to getting about 35 and more responses to most my discussions. Usually 20 is the average for me. Well in the past couple weeks I have been lucky to generate 10 or 15 responses to a lot of them. Is everyone on Spring break? Do I keep plugging away with discussions? Do I stop writing and just respond from now on? I am lost and frustrated to a degree. Not much but... HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I don't know what the problem is. I've always generated a low number of responses to most of my discussions so I don't have anything to compare but I'm getting a LOT less email notifications than I usually do. Probably about half. I get about 40-60 a day which gives me plenty to reply to but lately I'm lucky if there's 25-30. Perhaps the alien kidnappings have begun afresh and on a mass scale!!

I agree here, that I am not getting as many e mail notifications. That means my friends are not starting discussions. I see your discussions GB but my brain is still frozen from the snow.

Hi, I think that you could keep posting. Some people are making gardens and doing tax's and things that have to be done now. I know we all enjoy your posts. I had to get alot of things done, and I am still working on the Spring cleaning lol

Not sure about spring break but some may have spring fever. I know I find myself going out on the patio a lot and enjoying the birds.

I love to see all the birds. I was at dads watching them Sunday. They are just beautiful. We saw redbirds, blue jays, and squirrels.....Patios are just wonderful.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, I am still here responding to your discussion, yes many people were having a long Easter Break and I have notice that some of my friends have not been here for a few days or they are doing their discussion more as it is about paying out day, they will be back responding your discussions.

That is why I have not been respondoing to friends like I used to. I got overwhelmed trying to add comments to the responses in mine. So lately I have been just starting discussions. But I may get back to doing both after the gardens are all prepped etc. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

It is the second day I come to this site. I post a discussion yesterday but with on one response, which makes me frustrated. But I will never give up. Ibelieve nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

My responses have dropped even further than that, my friend. It's maybe the time of the year when everybody is getting out in their garden, going for walks, keeping the kids occupied during their school spring break, etc. It's not worth sweating the small stuff, my friend. Brightest Blessings.

That may have something to do with some not posting,. It is discouraging no more than it gives you credit if you start going backwards! I think there is just alot of spring things that people are doing now to spend a lot of time here.

Well, your talking about your garden, and since I don't go outside much except to go from house to car, I can't add much to any discussion about a garden.

I am not on spring break. I think I have managed to respond to most of yours in the last week or so. I have always not had notifications turned on, but I recently went through and turned them on for a lot of people because I sometimes miss their discussions.

Hey Grandpa Bob! I don't know what's been going on here lately. I do know that an awful lot of mylotters have gone missing lately! I do know facebook and twitter have taken some of them away! Maybe they are on Spring Break? Do adults get Spring Break? It's too cold here to even think that it's really Spring yet! I'm still waiting for the temps to at least stay in the 50's and some flowers or leaves to bloom?

Definitely do not stop posting!!! I think with Easter, spring break, and tax time crunch everyone is very busy but when they get back and do there catching up they are going to be posting to our discussions in the next week or so and the discussions that we have started this past week are going to be hopping again and getting tons of responses.... afterall when we get on and try to find things to post to we need what ones we can find!!!! so keep posting and happy mylotting!!!!

Ahhh it doesn't really matter all that much as I am not here to make money actually. But when I was doing so good then suddenly the amount I earn dropped so sharp[ly was a stun to me. But I keep at it for now anyhow. Thanks also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I am not responding to as many as I usually do. I am sure there are people who are always looking out for your discussions and who want to answer them, so you had better not quit posting them. They make me feel lazy and guilty, though.

I've taken some time off from here because of numerous reasons and yes, one of them is because Spring is here which brings along a lot of work that needs to be done however, I don't mean to neglect my friends!! Sorry! Besides, I've been sick, depressed and down right angry that I just needed some time to myself to sort things out. Have I? No and probably won't for a long time unless I'm given the chance to voice my feelings to the person who needs to listen but I know too, that it won't do a bit of good so I keep it all bundled up inside. Life is great, isn't it? lol
