Have You Noticed This In Your Responders?

I don't know about you but I cannot stand blue blancmange. I mean if it is supposed to be BLANC mange, it should be white! Oh sorry Irish, I didn't read either the discussion or the responses. LOL. Yep, happens all the time especially as you get further down the list and past page one. I read your discussion but at the time of writing I am likely to be the first respondent. If I'm not, I promise to read whoever is first and amend this response if necessary. I have posted three entirely spoof discussions in the past three weeks. Firstly something about taking no exercise and eating fat makes you healthier than exercise. Then the intention of the British to evacuate GB and leave it to the criminals. Lastly, that I am Goodie's housemaid (french maid's outfit and all) and live in her chicken house. In all cases most of the respondents have seen the joke, especially when they read the responses. But there have been a few that are concerned and think that I am being truthful. That doesn't so much upset me as make me feel that I am tricking people and that's a bit cruel of me. I don't worry that people assume too much about me. What's to assume. I am a miserable, humourless, lay about English, middle aged man who would rather do this than work! Now I wonder if I am the first......

yeh too funny.I am playing with a Fifer today ooo lala.He says i am a 99!!
yaya..awww bless hes is kinda shy man..Loud has taken control!! tell ya this adventure is some experience..its like living in another world..no anger in that world either!!

Do we know anyone here.
What have we got 100.300. 500 friends and how many do you KNOW, Id say that 99.9% here in MYLOT do not know YOU or then or who ever.

And the stories, well it might make some good reading, but do people always pour their GUTS out to strangers, (but they are my friends)

If I had big issues (with respect) you would be the last I would tell.

I like it here and I like my friends, but in away this is HOLLYWOOD/or to our other friends it's BOLLYWOOD.

all lights and sparkle but very untrue.

YES there are many things that work out ok, how to make a cake,
or what happens when you break water.

or Im bleeding all the time.

MUM just passed and its hard.

many of these we as friends can support, but the very hard stuff you need the best of HELP and to seek professional advice or see a Doctor or Lawyer.

I have learned never to start a discussion with "i have this friend...." because every response is what i should do. But I guess I would be the same way if someone were telling me about their "friend".

For me it depends on how thought out the response is that is left on my discussion. If I can tell it is a one liner from someone who read the title and nothing else I don't even bother commenting back. Now if someone writes me a book telling me what they think I should do or how wrong, stupid, etc something sounds to them then I let them have it.

I have a reputation of not sitting on the fence on issues, not shying away from posting discussions about controversial topics, and for have ZERO tact! lol

Oh yes, and I myself have been guilty of jumping to conclusions a time or two. Thinking a person is speaking of themselves when they're not. I can miss a lot when I'm tired, for one thing. I lose concentration. Excuses, excuses lol.

Heavens to Betsy woman! How many times to I have to tell you what to do - or not to do? Really!
Ooops - wrong thread! ROFL

There are times I get suckered into a discussion that I think is legitimate only to learn that it's meant to be funny. (Mostly P1ke's -- I think it's his unique writing style.)

Quite often I'll respond via e-mail, and I don't get the option to read responses before I submit mine, so there are times that I'll reply similarly to others.

On a personal note, I've been referred to as a nasty old fart ... partly true.

Very seldom do I ask for advice, but when I did once (patio furniture), I didn't accept the advice anyway. So why did I ask for it? Who knows?

Overall, I look to myLot for fun, education, self-improvement and just to keep busy.

yeah i know waht r u talking about . i kow it exactly . but you can't avoide it .. just notice it and make a remark about it . but how can you prevent it ..hard to happen ..hard to control and deal

I do the same thing. I post just to see what other will say not because I will actually go and do what they say, because that would be ridiculous. I really dont like when someone doesnt read my post and then responds and then I have to read it and it had nothing to do with what I have asked or even what I said. I think it is also funny when people here on MyLot really try to help you, good advice or bad. But atleast theyre trying to help, which is nice.

I did start a post about my brother in law wanting to bring his girlfriend for a stay over at my parents house...but didn't give all the details of it when I started it. I did have people think it was me (like my 9 yr old would be married). I don't think this is the place to get die hard advice and make life changing choices, but if you ask the right question then maybe you will get a response that will make you think.

I think being new here I'm one of those people easily fooled when people post a "secret joke" just because I haven't gotten used to how people post and respond. Definately a learning experience.
