not forever, but just for the day. I find that sometimes I am tired, and bored with repetitive discussions. Or something someone says feels mean, and like they are being hateful. I guess I will go for a good night's rest. How about you. How do you know it is time to quit for the day.

Usually when I'm sitting here with only one eye open trying to read the blurry screen. That would be when I think it's time to call it good. Obviously even if there is the discussion of a lifetime right before my blurry eyes, I'm not going to see it...lol So that's when I push on for about 10 more minutes and that's it I'm done. The funny thing is the minute I think I'm falling asleep I think..Oh that would be a good discussion. I don't bother to write them down and never remember the next day...lol

I get to the point that I cannot think, then I know it is time for lights out. I also get irratable with others online and off. I have been spending way too much time on mylot and gather lately and think I will take a break soon for a few days.

On Gather, you get points for every comment you make plus points on all the comments you get on your articles. I love it. I own two groups on gather. One is HOMEMADE GIFTS and the other is BE PREPARED My user name is the same as here. send me a request to connect. I will be happy to help you out anyway I can. I just cashed in for 2 $50. gift certificates from home depot a few days ago. I cashed out for over $300. worth of gift certificates at Christmas time. You get your gift certificates about 2 weeks after you request them.

I don't participate as frequently as I did when I first started, but I think any time you're not enjoying it, get bored, or just have other things to do it's a suitable reason to just stop and move on. In times when I have some spare time, I'll come over and engage in some discussions and hopefully make payout each month between those few messages and my referrals, but I don't get particularly worked up about making a lot of money.

Once I have uploaded my photo alotment, and respomdded to the people I ow a response to, and entered any discussion questions I have thought of, I might have a root around. I have a daily quota so I have usually reached it by that point and quit then.

Some days I feel like my brain has fried itself. I have to get up and go walk around, or just quit whatever project I'm working on and go to something else.

I quit and call it a day when I can't find any discussions that are catching my eye. The next day, I am answering the same ones that did not interest me the day before. I have not ran into any hateful people, thank goodness!!

I too often get bored and tired but I am registered with a couple of other sites and I hop from one to the other or play a game of scrabble (my favourite). I might even watch a free movie on my pc or go out for a little walk. I don't sit at my pc for too long but I leave it switched on all day. I go about my normal days work and just pop in every now and again to check on my emails or I will sit here having a cup of coffee. Have a good nights sleep and I look forward to seeing you back to-morrow.

Yes, some of the discussions right now are somewhat like repeating. Others I think don't have any in mind that they would start some hate discussions just to earn more points, I don't think it's the right thing to do. For me, it would be better if we just turn off our computers and get a good night sleep. As for me, I lay myself to sleep when I'm already done with everything. I also try to read a book before closing my eyes, it's one of my routines in reflecting on the days that I've been through.

I have to take a day every now and then and not log on to Mylot. If not, I find myself gettting irritated too easily and more apt to say (type!) something that could be misconstrued if taken the wrong way. I might get too sarcastic or not be mindful of my word choices. A problem with this type of venue is that we cannot hear voice inflection and tone, we can only rely on the actual words, leaving a lot up for interpretation. After a days break I can come back refreshed and ready to keep an open mind and be mindful of what I say/type!

About right now...lol. It's past 11PM right now and I'm calling it quits; usually try to get off sooner but as of late, I've been at it longer.

I spend alot of time on here and if i don't have short breaksmy head begins tohurt. Last night i was so stressed..i had toquit computing from 5 pm ..around there lol..I think. It does get tiring when i have to do so many things at once. Now i have to go and get something to eat because if i don't i will feel sick. Ilove Mylot and my computer , but even from these two I do need a rest. We are only human after alllol.

I felt like this a week ago, go have a good night sleep, and the response that you left on one of my discussions, that cloud is just for you, I wish I could go back and edit and put your name on it. Goodnight sleep tight
