Helping myself

Boobear will use her paw to drink water if the water level is too low, I took this shot a few years ago, look at the surprise on her lil face.

Yes, I am helping myself and as I do so I also help 2 others ..... well, here on mylot anyway. It seems I have unintentionally made a few people feel bad but that was never my intent. It started because I wanted to help a friend. What I did was comment on all responses that had not received a reply over the years. It was fun just leaving a comment and as it turns out I too was earning a little along with the author of the discussion, it's a 3 way win. Have you tried to do this?

Why on earth should they feel bad. I enjoyed the visit with you and the memory of Princess you brought up. Around here, if you are a giver, often you also become a receiver. Silly people should know that.

I don't see anything wrong with that. I know I would appreciate it. I have done a little of helping others out but I like your idea better.

I'm sorry they felt bad especially when you're helping them earn pennies. I agree. It's a win for everyone. No, I haven't done that.

I'm confused but I guess you found these in the 'no responses' listing. Is that right? Anyway, good for you.

No Judy, I went to my friends profile and scrolled through the responses they made until I found one that had not been answered. I like to go back as far as I can so I used the end tab on my keyboard and held it down until I got to a previous year.

Thank you. I think some people think I am making a point of letting them know they missed a response and it hurts their feelings. I didn't think of that when I started doing this.

@rebelann I am the same as you. I love to help people here. Though very time consuming, it's still rewarding for me and those I try to help. I am so sorry that you doing something nice has caused some to feel bad. But I don't understand why people felt bad? I have a weird system here which I believe I told you not too long ago. I like to answer people randomly here and there but the way I mainly use MyLot is to pick some people, answer all their discussions from literally the day they first started, then once I am caught up I will Follow them, and make sure I stay up to date with them. I also want to do this as OCD kinda makes me but it's also because some people really need money so by me doing this, though not that much, they still get their earnings to rise. Then if I'm not feeling too overwhelmed I find more people who won't mind me answering all their posts and do the same process. If someone has a small amount of posts I answer them in one hit, but if someone has hundreds or thousands, I do a small handful at a time. Extremely time consuming but I love it.

I think people here often tend to forget that this is a place for discussion. You need to TALK with people which you can only do by interacting with whichever comment or reply YOU choose. It doesn't really matter whether it was an old post or whether you answered all the replies. If you wish to answer someone, you just do it because that choice is yours. The other person has the option to ignore your answer. If anyone gets upset then please direct them to the guidelines or encourage them to talk with the admin to have a clear idea of what they are missing about myLot. Don't let them make their own rules about myLot. We already have set guidelines. We don't need to follow rules dictated by other members.

I don't think YOU earn for leaving a comment. The person whose post it is gets the credit for the interaction.

@rebelann I could be wrong but I thought we only got paid for interactions that we RECEIVE, not that we perform.

What I read was that we do not get credit nor does the author if I respond and no one comments on it @NJChicaa but if I respond to someones response than the author, the res-ponder and I all get a little credit.
25 Jun 19
I reply and comment to any post or topic that i can relate to. And to anything that interest me. I am enjoying my time here and not counting how much reply or post i have made but as long as i am enjoying answering and reading i will continue to do so. Not until i have some stuff to do then i log out.

I can't understand why someone would be upset but you know some people will be upset because the sun came up or because there's air to breath. So sometimes you just have to say.... well you know.

I don't really know if you earn from the initial commenting but the interaction after yes? I am not sure, but it is still nice to see some older posts get revived and I'm sure it makes some people feel good to know that some things are getting noticed!
