I'm addicted to myLot. Yes, I admit it. I love it here. It's past midnight here but I just had to post this discussion before I went to sleep. The people are so friendly here and I appreciate everyone here. The discussions are great. The best part is that I'm earning money having fun. Now I must ask. Are you addicted to myLot? How long do you spend on here? Would you consider it a good habit or bad habit?

Mylot can expand my vision and moreover,earning money at the same time can be a great encourage of enthusiasm.I came here when i'm tired on work and sometimes spend a little time at night.Mylot is very good indeed but my daughter is more important to me than mylot.

Maybe she will be the youngest mylotter here.LOL Now mylot has taken more and more time than my other favorite websites,it's unbelievable to me for I JUST come here within a month.

Of course your daughter is more important than myLot. I'd be surprised if you said that she wasn't! When you have children, your life becomes heir life. I hope your daughter will be a myLotter as well. LOL myLot is definitely a good place to earn money and learn. That's why it's my number one website ever.

Same here. I've only been here for three weeks. I come here every day and spend hours here. I just can't help it!

No I'm not! I guess I am. But there are a lot worse things I could do. But I view this as my hobby and a way to relax. Much better than television. I'm interacting with people. It's exercise for the brain. I am learning things. I am improving my communication and writing skills. And I'm also earning a couple of dollars a month, enough to pay for my anti-virus. Yes, this is a great place. But I must not forget to eat, sleep, and do some exercise!

If I was here night and day I might also earn $10 a month and have enough to wash my car once a month.

Agreed. I see this as my hobby as well! I love it here. Enough to pay your anti-virus you say? I might use this income to pay my $10 a month data plan for my phone.

Wow Steph, what a great post, only 7 hours long and already 3 pages of replies.. If I didn't have a child or husband who can't live without me, (My husbands words, not mine..lol), I would probably be on from the time I get up until the time I go to bed..That is off and on while I multi task visiting my others site and making videos and writing my book..lol It is a fun place to be and you can learn so much here. And the encouragement and help I've been getting with my writing is awesome..I am seriously thinking if I ever get it published, I will give thanks to the mylot crew who help me through some writers block and disappointments..:)

Something like that..Yeah..I would like to acknowledge each and every person, but if you knew how many has helped since the very beginning,it practically would be a book in itself..

Wow, really? That's a lot people. Make the font really tiny. Or just group us all into one. Or only include the people who have really helped you. Like me! Just kidding.

You'd write '...and to all my friends on myLot, I acknowledge them for their tireless encouragement and help to get this book published.' If I didn't have to go to work or school, I'd be here 24/7 as well. LOL I know! I woke up this morning and was like 'Whoa. That's a lot of responses...MUST RESPOND TO ALL OF THEM!'

Yes, addictive seems to be a good word. I was like that and I believe nowadays I am still...otherwise, I wouldn't make it a point to come, hmmmp. The other factor here is friends; you are so right. Having fun is the word. But sometimes when you feel a bit burned out, taking a day or two off from the lot and then coming back; you'll feel the energy rejuvenated. It works for me though. But sometimes I'm just too busy to log in and I'll miss it like what..

I'll keep your advice at hand. If I ever become tired of this place, I'll take a few days off. I bet that will spark my interest again! But for now, I love it too much to leave!

Yes, it is. I'm really glad I came here. At first, I was a bit skeptical because I wasn't too sure if I'd like it here, but it turned out I love it.This place is my favorite website ever. I'm so glad I found it.

Mad, as in crazy, I hope. Not as in angry. Yes, myLot has such a great atmosphere!

I wouldn't say that I was addicted. Normally I am a very talking and sharing person. Better known as doing too much of it. Some days I just do not have the umph to even respond let alone log in. I can see how addicting it can be, but for some reason I am at a point in my life where sharing my thoughts has not been a joy.
• United States
13 Jun 10
Aw, well I hope you get back into the sharing mood soon! I love discussing things with you. I'm a talkative person too. I like to talk about pretty much anything. That might be why I'm addicted to myLot.

13 Jun 10
Why thanks hon, and may I say I too enjoy replying to your posts, it seems that each time I get an alert about one of your posts I can usually let the ideas flow. Thanks and I am trying my darnedest to get out of the funk, life just sucks right about now. I am trying though; am not usually the person that wants to crawl and die.

I am very much addicted to myLot. I do a lot of blogging and tweet. All of the other activities are now on the lowest gear. Twitter, facebook etc.. Now i read myLot daily... Its really nice to have so many people responding to my comments.
• United States
12 Jun 10
I agree with you. I used to be on facebook a lot. Now that I've found myLot, I'm on myLot more often. I found facebook is a waste of time. I mean,m if your friends really wanted to contact you, they wouldn't just use facebook. I don't have twitter because it find it useless. I don't know hwy anyone needs to know what I'm sitting gin a chair right now.

Yes! I have to admit that I am still addicted to everything My Lot! I have been here quite a while now and I still have not lost any of the initial enthusiasm I had when I first joined! I guess if you love to write then you are really going to enjoy it here as there are times when you can express your creativity in your writings, that's to say becoming very creative in your responses! It's also a well known fact that you can learn a lot here! There's always someone that's going to be educated in a certain field of study and you can pick their brain as it were, that's if they will allow you to!. The earning aspect is very nice I have to say and I consider it an added bonus, it kind of keeps us enthusiastic as it were! The My Lot community is great and there are a lot of nice people you can have good conversations with! You can share happiness, pain, emotions, love!!! My Lot is a very interesting place to hang out for a few hours. In my case this is a good habit and I enjoy My Lot and it's at the top of my list as regards highly recommended websites. Andrew

Wow! You wrote a lot! I have the same enthusiasm I had when I first started too! Then again, it's only been three weeks. I do love to write, so that might be reason why I stay here. But I also stay here for the friends and for the discussions as well. They're so interesting. I haven't tried to pick anyone's brain yet. LOL I think the earning keeps us enthusiastic as well. It gives us an additional thing to work for.

yes, I am very addicted to Mylot. How long I was at Mylot, I can not count them. Every chance I always log in Mylot. Sometimes I login using my phone. I almost never separated from Mylot, Every day I always meet with Mylot. I feel this is a good habit for me.

I always log in Mylot when all work is completed. So my work is never interrupted.
• United States
12 Jun 10
I think it's a good habit too, as long as it doesn't interrupt your other daily work. I log in on my iPod, since my phone does not have internet, but it's nice to be able to stay in contact with myLot on the go. I log in every day too.

I have been a member of Mylot since April of 2009 and yes I'm with you I'm addicted. I go on here each and everyday no matter what. The only time I missed going on if my computer was not working which happened last August for a few days. Then also in May of last year while on vacation. Otherwise everyday early morning, afternnon and now its almost 11pm and I'm on Mylot. I might be here till at least 1am. It all depends how tired I become and how the discussions are going. I love Mylot and I think its good habit especially for people like me who just loves to write.

Wow. April 2009. I feel like such a newbie! I only joined three weeks ago! I'm the same as you with my myLotting patterns. I'm on in the morning, early afternoon and late at night, mostly because I have to work at 3 in the evening until 6. It's hard to leave this place, isn't it?

MyLot is such a huge part of my day that I would admit that I have a slight addiction. Granted, I am not on here all of the time like I am certain many people on this website are. However, I just think that my day is a bit incomplete if I do not at least log in. Whether or not I post really does not matter. Still just make some kind of token appearance. Still, my experience at myLot is a huge part of my day. I spend a fair amount of time. The exact number of hours really varies from day to day, because I am doing it in between other tasks. Still I slip away and do a couple of posts, before going ot do something else. I think I could live without it but as I said, it's a huge part of my day and something just seems a bit lacking.
• United States
14 Jun 10
I understand what you mean. I feel like my day is lacking without myLot too. I don't spend all my time on MyLo and I don't think I would if I could. I must admit that in the beginning, I was on here all day, but now, I find that I don't need to be to get mu daily dose of myLot.

im not addicted to mylot but i totally agree that mylot is a great website after all.you can gain information, make friends, earn some money and sharing info with others.i love mylot and usually spend around 2-3 hours per day (if i get a chance to surf an internet).as long as you are not into it 24hour then i think it is okay.i dont think there is someone out there who spend 20hrs to do it.or is there anyone out there doing so????:)
• United States
12 Jun 10
There might be someone out there. Someone in an earlier post said they were on early in the morning and when to sleep around 1:30 AM. I think you can be addicted to myLot that much. I just try not to be because I know I need my rest. I love it here though. I must admit, if I didn't have to sleep or do other things, I'd be here 24/7 as well.
• United States
11 Jun 10
I am totally lol! I most def. think that the people here are generally nice and willing to help, they have incentive lol! But really I had and old account that expired from non use but this time I've just signed up yesterday and i think I've been on here like since I got off of work LOL its totally fun. I recommend anyone who asks to this site. Hope you have A good night! I'm off to a lovely graveyard shift woohoo! -Scott
• United States
11 Jun 10
Have fun at your graveyard shift! I signed up about three weeks ago and I've pretty much been on here day in and day out. I don't think it's a bad habit. LOL I hope you stay on myLot this time! How come you left to begin with?

You can see that I have posted a lot here. And then you can understand how much I like Mylot. I almost post here everyday. Lately it is the time for World Cup, so perhaps I can be very active at night because I want to watch the World Cup. I try to post more in the daytime anyway:) I love China
• United States
12 Jun 10
I post more in the daytime too. And yes, I have seen you around, that's why I added you as a friend. I don't really watch sports that much, so I'm not too big into the World Cup. I love myLot too. I post here every single day.

Hi Stephanie! Of course I'm addicted to myLot! I've been here now for three years this month! When I first started here I couldn't get myself to even turn off the computer to even try to get to sleep! Now, since I have Insomnia anyway I can be here at any hour of the day or night! I have started to spend more time again here because I have made more new friends and the discussions have once again started to get more interesting! I don't know exactly how long I spend on here because it varies from day to day or night to night, but it is quite a few hours! And I would never consider being with friends and learning things a bad habit!
• United States
12 Jun 10
Congratulations on your three years! That's crazy! I wouldn't consider it a bad habit either. I'm glad I'm having fun and earning money at the same time. That's too bad that you have insomnia. It's good for myLotting, but rest is important. Are you doing anything to get rid of it?
• Philippines
11 Jun 10
Same here, its 3am now but here I am still in mylot site, reading and searching for a good topic to write on. I really love this site, everything I need is here. This is my home site and my source of answer. I am enjoying every minute of using it. Happy mylotting!!
• United States
12 Jun 10
I really love this site too! I try not to stay up until 3 AM because I know I need my sleep, but it's so tempting! Happy myLotting to you too! I use myLot as my home page as well.

i am also starting to feel the same way. hehehe. i guess it's not bad as long as it's not interrupting your work. i work in front of the computer everyday, and from time to time i peek on new discussions. it's a good stress reliever since i got to read interesting and informative threads, and the best part of it is getting rewarded by using this site. effortless income isn't it?
