Well, how did that happen? I've been keeping a bit of an eye on my statistics and knew post 400 was coming up and blow me down, this is 401. It is queer how you can be watching out for something and it sneaks past you. There isn't really a photo that goes with 'post 400' so I'll take the opportunity to add another gnome photo for those who have missed out on earlier ones.
And I wonder if the programme will allow 'queer'? Probably not. Do you have set number of posts you hope to put up each day? I try to do at least one every few day but if I have an appropriate photo and a story to go with it then I become very keen to share and may post several over a relatively short period of time.

I waited for my car mileage to hit 88,888. Caught it. Silly fun stuff.

@marlina Yes, but since I drive so little now, it's going to take years.

Wow!
I don't. I never really tried to count how many posts I have or set a goal that I should post a day or such. I'm fine with just interacting and when I'm in the mood to share something, I make a post.

@JudyEv I know. I just don't set goals for myself here. So i hardly check those things including my bank.

i don't have goals and milestones and maybe that's exactly the problem! hahaha!
your posts are always informative and you have great pictures so we don't mind if you post several a day.
queer slipped through, but i had my first bad word warning yesterday. the surname of a person was longer than the 4 letter c word so i just put a space to break the name.

@hereandthere I think it was the first word I tried to use and it took an American member to tell me why it wasn't okay.

I have no fixed programme regarding initiation of posts. If any new topic comes to my mind, I start a new post (discussion) else I respond to posts started by others. I do not pay much attention to statistics.
When I am here, I just enjoy myself rather than worrying about number of posts or looking at the Dollars ($).

@JudyEv I feel when we come on mylot, we come here to lighten ourselves and to de-stress ourselves, so no serious thinking.

@velvet53 The interaction is more important but if you don't have any posts it is harder for me to 'talk' to you - at least in some ways. I have to find a comment or response of yours. If you are regularly commenting on my posts, I like to return the favour, It is easier if you have at least some discussions for me to read.

@JudyEv It always happens.I am reminded of the proverb.''Watched Pot Never Boils''.I think that photo of the wild flower for the discussion number 400 was the apt one.

Am I to understand that you have posted 401 discussions? Wow! I need material for more discussions and I am having a hard time finding things to write about.

When so many other words get knocked back, I'm surprised 'queer' made it through. Even if a 'bad word' is in the middle of a longer word, it will sometimes get rejected.

@JudyEv oh, i am so sorry, it was supposed to be my 3000th interaction, not 2000th.
I am making my first milestone here, my dear friends. I will have that number after my username reach 3000, and that includes the comments/interactions I am...

I miss a lot of milestones...don't even know how many I've done, probably tooooo many LOL. Some days I do only one, other days maybe 2 but I have not done more than that in a day in a long time.
