Whats wrong with my discussions???  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 64/100. BayleighGray (1788)   ranked 2,886 out of 27,468 in mylot.com 5 years ago

Im not trying to sound like a Mrs know it all, but I feel Im starting a few good discussions here and no respnoses to them. So what exactly do the people here on myLot want to discuss??? I see hundreds of posts for some of the silliest things, and hundreds of comments to back them. Is it all too repetative? Is there a way that I can look through some not so popular discussions and weed out what has already been said over and over? Ok is it my friends list? Do I not have enough friends is that where the comments and ratings come in? Im hitting 100 posts and I dont feel adequate enough to be here. :(
Can anyone give me some suggestions, useful suggestions not just BS?? I really enjoy blogging and interacting with people, but I guess I need help on the interacting part? Im accepting all criticism here good or bad!
Thank you.

Ok, what most people want to discuss here is parenting issues, relationship issues, and problems like drugs, alcohol, abuse. Things like that. I had the same problem. If you look at my profile, you will see that A LOT of my discussions have not even been touched! I will go check out your profile and respond to some of your discussions! Good luck!


myLot reputation of 64/100. BayleighGray (1788)   ranked 2,886 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

Well thank you very much. I was starting to take things personally!! lol I do realize there are many people here, but I really am shocked at how many responses are posted to some of the silliest discussions. I feel like I should ask what pant leg do you put on first and I would get so many I couldnt read them all! Im going to check yours too and add you as my friend, I hope! :)

I think some of it is that your topics are very serious, and serious discussions usually work better after you have more friends that you know enjoy those types of discussions. My first few discussions were flops as well, and then after I'd been here a month or so and knew more people I had a lot better luck, no matter what the topic was.

You might try searching to make sure your topic hasn't been done before, just by putting in keywords related to your topic under "discussions" in the search bar at the topic of the page. Sometimes even if it's been done before, if it was a really long time ago or you think you have a different perspective on it, your discussion could still be worth posting. But if someone did it last week then it's likely not going to work now.


myLot reputation of 64/100. BayleighGray (1788)   ranked 2,886 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

aah yes I see it now, the search box! Thank you for pointing my eyes in that direction! lol Well I hope so, I really enjoy doing this, but as I said I was starting to take things personally. Thank you for adding me as your friend!


myLot reputation of 96/100. lecanis (7304)   ranked 555 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

No problem! I love to meet new people, that's why I'm here. It's really nice too having friends who are newer users, because then I can help them get started some by replying to their discussions. I know when I first started back in January I felt the same way for a while, that no one must have found my discussions interesting or I must not have been doing well, but now that I have a lot of friends and interests, I've found that I almost always have successful discussions. =)

Well you really need to start out making a presence here on mylot. I should know, and I'm still nowhere where I want to really be, in terms of discussion creation. All I've basically done is respond to people up to post 500. I then slowly started my own discussions, but I'm competing against some people with larger post counts and longer time here (so they have more friends and more chance of getting responses to topics). Also note that some people really find it difficult to find discussions. Theres a lot of stuff to go through, thousands of discussions. And on top of that search function isn't all that great. There's a lot against getting responses to discussions. In my case its because mine are too serious or people don't want to read them (yes even the lighter topics). It happens. I'm just gonna continue with what I do.


myLot reputation of 64/100. BayleighGray (1788)   ranked 2,886 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

I really dont want to compete, I just want to be involved!! lol But I understand what your saying here. I get nervous when Im going to hit the start discussion button....I think is this one going to flop! I try to be a little debatable, and at the same time have sum fun with it. I would like to have serious discussions with real life serious issues from time to time. I did think that the friends thing might have a lot to do with it, cos like you said its hard to keep track of certain discussions around here and your friends will get notified of when you start a new one and vice versa. Ok, lets work on my friends list! :)

Hi BayleighGray!
Congratulations again on you 100th post! I am sorry to read that you are not getting enough responses on your topics of discussion. I just started here and to tell you the truth, I am happy with what I've got. But I suppose I am not focused enough on the discussion part yet. So I wish I had some great words for you regarding the discussion you have started here, but I don't. I'm lucky if I can write at all, to be honest..*smile*, as I so wish I had a more serene environment to do so in. Don't we all though wish for something? Well, BaleighGray, I am so happy to know you here, and I don't see anything wrong with your topics of discussion at all. I have seen another couple of others saying that they were not having much responses this week, when they normally would. Perhaps there is a reason for this, but I wouldn't know what. I know myself, I have not been posting as usual, as I had a family tragedy this week and couldn't devote as much here on MyLot.
Good Luck BayleighGray and keep writing and posting here!
Thank you for being my friend too.
Regards and Peace
RozAnn...TheHairDreser

Thanks Roz!

Things are looking up, Im not really sure when that star appeared next to my name, but its been very recent!! hehe

That made me even more happy! I guess my whining got me somewhere and now I can go and join the Yuwie Whining club!! Look out here I come!! haha

I just wanted to feel some love and I surely got it.

Thank you Roz and to all those who stepped up and helped me out.


myLot reputation of 95/100. TheHairDresser (3350)  5 years ago

Oh my gosh BayleighGray!
Did you get a star? Hehe, I just noticed too now that you said it..I'm the blind hairdresser, you know, pssst* don't tell anyone though *laughin*. Well, now that's two things you get to be congratulated on today and there will be many more too definitely!
And no, no, thank YOU BayleighGray for giving me something to write about! Isn't that what it is all about? I love to interact and I am going to interact here at home directly if they don't stop stopping me from MyLotting LOL!
Regards in MyLotting

myLot reputation of 64/100. BayleighGray (1788)   ranked 2,886 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

I know I dont know when it appeared but there it is!! I have been trying to pull myself away from admiring it for the last 10 minutes, I need to go and get my lottery ticket bought before its too late! lol Its just raining outdoors today and I dont feel like going out. But here it goes!

Your such a fun person! Thanks for all the nice words and encouragement.

Oh dont hurt anyone too badly Roz.....but if you do write and tell us all about it!! haha
Take Care


myLot reputation of 95/100. TheHairDresser (3350)  5 years ago

Hello again BayleighGray!
By the way, as your opening of this discussion was you didn't want to be a Mrs. Know-It-All, are you a Mrs. Know-It-All? Because if you are, by chance, could you let me know in on a few secrets then? Because I need some help with that. It is one of my goals to be knowing just everything there is to know! Especially when it comes to being told I need to get off of MyLot and cook!
Well, alright then, let me KNOW please BayleighGray!
No but seriously, I apologise here if this comment is not a serious discussion lol!
Peace Out

Thank you AmbiePam.....I guess I was just jumping the gun a bit. I do strive to excell in most things I do! Im working on my friends list. I have gotten more requests than I have had approved, so I guess the ones that havent approved me yet probably wont. Oh well. I do want to just have sum fun, vent a little and see if the rest of the world feels like I do and that Im not just losing my mind at times!
Thank you for your response!


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20777)   ranked 471 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

You're welcome. I just know I had the same frustrations, and didn't have any answers. A person wants to do well, but with no instructions, how can they be expected to get the hang of it.

Thanks also for the best response. : )


myLot reputation of 64/100. BayleighGray (1788)   ranked 2,886 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

Your Welcome!

I thought your response was really informative and you were very polite.......not that eveyone was else wasnt! haha

I almost dont like to pick a best response, I dont want to hurt anyones feelings! I do rate a + to everyone that replies to my discussion though, just for the simple fact that they took the time to read it and reply.


myLot reputation of 41/100. hickusdickus1 (251)  5 years ago

Wait a couple of weeks before you give a best response, a lot of these water closet ninnies won't respond if they see a best respose has already been given.


myLot reputation of 97/100. AmbiePam (20777)   ranked 471 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

That's not really true. Because the best response doesn't give extra points or money, there would be no reason to not answer it. Some people give it after a couple days, or some wait a couple weeks like I do. Although, I have given it early before. One time I did a topic and got so many answers that I thought, OK, if I give a best response, they'll stop leaving responses (I had just started mylot). Oh, but they didn't! The responses kept coming and that was one discussion I wished giving the best response would have stopped more replies. LOL


myLot reputation of 91/100. girtsmomma (238)   ranked 7,694 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

I have read a large number of comments by people saying that when they see a best response has already been given they won't leave a comment.

Waffles. I would like to discuss waffles.

Why do you suppose there are waffles? What was so horribly wrong with the humble pancake? Did someone get angry at a pancake one day and start hitting it with a balpein hammer only to step back comb his fingers through his hair lamenting, "What have I DONE?" Then, did someone come by and see the tragic scene, look at it and say, "You know, you might just be onto something there ya big wimp! Quit bawlin' like a little girl and let's come up with a name for this thing!" Did they then develop the waffle iron?

What if the origin of the waffle iron was something even more sinister? What if Eli Roth had invented the waffle iron? Would he have used it for what WE use it for? I doubt it. That guy's a sick puppy.


myLot reputation of 64/100. BayleighGray (1788)   ranked 2,886 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

Well arent you funny!! I have a good sense of humour, and I see that you do as well.

So is this just your theory on how waffles came about or is this something that you read somewhere?? lol

I myself like waffles more than I do pancakes. The syrup which is the best part just sort of slides off the pancake and forms a pool around them, the waffle however will hold your syrup in nice little pockets and then absorb it making it a sticky ooey gooey mess that tastes delish!

I dont think I have heard of Eli Roth, Elie Whitney maybe but not Eli Roth....off to the Google search box!

Thanks for your humourous reply, oh and I do like your name. Have a good evening!


myLot reputation of 46/100. goinliveinfive (504)   ranked 24,772 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

Eli Roth makes horror movies (see imdb.com for Hostel)and he did a mock trailer for a movie called "Thanksgiving" that ran with the movie Grindhouse last spring. The trailer was so gory I was more than thrilled by the fact that it wasn't a real movie. The premise behind it is that practically every other holiday including Christmas has its own horror flick but Thanksgiving had been left in the dust.

For the record, the info on waffles came out of my demented head and is purely fictional.

Oh yea, Cabin Fever.....Im not a big movie buff or follower, and even then so Im not a big blood and gore fan either. But now I do know who he is!

Hi bayleighgray! Congratulations for being here in mylot and for reaching 100th posts. Well, on your predicament, I think newbies gone through with that. I'm not an exception either. I used to got zero responses on my discussions too. But as stay longer here I somewhat manage to know how to attract respondents. First, your topic must be simple. Mylotters tend to not mind topics with serious tone. As I browse the discussions you've started, I've notice that they are way too serious and I can't seem to relate to them. Try trimmimg down the tone of your topics. The simpler the better. Second, make lots of friends. Try to add to your friend's list anyone that respond to your discussion. You see, when I select what topic to reply, I always start with discussions my friends started. What are friends for, right? I do notice that you post comments on replies to your discussions. That's good coz you're interacting with your respondents. Keep it up! Hope my advice would help you. Happy mylotting and enjoy your stay here. God Bless!

Happy myLotting yourself. I hope to see you around my posts more!

ok, I just took a quick glance over your discussions and you are right....they are interesting enough...how did i miss them? Lately I'm not on here alot due to personal problems at home. I'm thinking that they maybe get buried quickly if not many respond right away. They may come back to life ...give it time. I just tonite popped on here to find several responses to some discussions that I had started a while ago that I thought were dead. IT takes one person to respond to bring your discussion back to the forfront. Don't worry about it. Keep up what your doing and post to others. from what i can see you are doing fine.


myLot reputation of 64/100. BayleighGray (1788)   ranked 2,886 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

Well thank you Sid! I guess I really didnt take into consideration that perhaps the people that would find my discussions intersting were not logging on. I hope they dont get burried too deep! I find myself starting with the discussions that have no responses first, then if I dont find anything interesting there I will go to my friends discussions then to the hot topics.

Hope things are getting better for you at home so you can join us at myLot more often!
Take Care Sid!

Don't feel bad. I have about the same number of posts as you do. I have only started one discussion myself though. I only got one response though and got a bit discouraged so I haven't started one since. I will, but I am just taking my time and commenting on others.


myLot reputation of 64/100. BayleighGray (1788)   ranked 2,886 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

Actually Im feeling much better about the whole situation...thanks to all you guys!!!

Nothing wrong with getting a feel for the place by only responding to discussions. I think myself I try to hard to come up with things instead of allowing them to just unfold.

Best of luck to you! And thank you for your reply!

I checked your discussions and I thought they were very interesting. I'm not here a lot so I miss a lot of the good ones. As a matter of fact I am away from home (Florida) right now (in Tennessee)for a marketing convention.
If you have noticed the ones that do get a lot of responses are never serious and sometimes downright funny!
Congrats on your star. I just asked to be put on your friend list.
Have a great morning


myLot reputation of 64/100. BayleighGray (1788)   ranked 2,886 out of 27,468 in mylot.com  5 years ago

Hello kowgirl! Yes I got your request this morning and I added you! Thanks so much. I tell ya I have requested for some to become my friend and its been days and nothing! lol Oh well.

No offense but myLot sounds much more interesting than a marketing convention! lol I sure hope you get to go home soon and have a safe trip back!
