Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for October 2021?

The Horse @TheHorse (238311) • Walnut Creek, California 26 Oct 21

My trip to Montana is no excuse! I have been a bit of a slouch on MyLot this month. Or maybe not. In any case, I won't reach my usual lofty heights this month, but I'll do OK. I'll make $00XX.XX00 this afternoon. I'll shoot for...

Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for March 2021?

The Horse @TheHorse (238311) • Walnut Creek, California 25 Mar 21

I did not want to stress anyone out by not posting my monthly MyLot Goal Inquiry in a timely fashion. Stress leads to increased evening cortisol levels, which can undermine both health and learning skills. I'm serious! Look it up!...

I'm still awaiting my millions from Barrister Mbalo. I sent him the $5,000 processing fee he requested, as well as access to all of my bank accounts. When I receive the money, I will share it with all of my MyLot friends....

Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for December 2019?

The Horse @TheHorse (238311) • Walnut Creek, California 27 Dec 19

This will be one of my worst ever months on MyLot if you define "best " and "worst" in terms of money earned. But I've enjoyed some good conversations, been verbally assaulted by two of my favorite MyLotters, enjoyed a MyLotter's...

A Christmas Carol BBC TV Version 2019

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 25 Dec 19

Spoiler alerts This version, by the excellent Peaky Blinders team promised to be a darker, more Gothic take on the oft-told tale but actually it is quite a traditional telling other than in the two elements where it fails,...

Did you just get paid by MyLot?

The Horse @TheHorse (238311) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Nov 19

I just checked my email (I wasn't thinking about MyLot) and noticed that I just got paid. I had forgotten that they pay us "by the 15th" and it's already the 14th. Do we all get paid at exactly the same moment? Or is it...

N.B. Yomi @Hanyouyomi (2186) • Dallas, Texas 3 Dec 16

I was originally going to post thistle day after Thanksgiving, since posting it on Thanksgiving would've soured my holiday spirit. But I've recently noticed that there seems to be a lot of Grinches and Scrooges during this time of...

Christmas?!.....Scrooge says Humbug!!

theuniversalhippie @lotty71 (92) • Epsom, England 30 Dec 15

I have watched I think 3 or 4 different versions of Scrooge this Christmas! No matter how many times I watch the film I always find something new to learn. My favourite version is the 1951 film with Alastair Sim playing the part...

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 30 Dec 15

I popped online earlier to check my emails. I used the desktop {I mostly live on my tablet} because it suits surveys more. Having wangled a few 'points win prizes' at Swagbucks, I tootled off to the Land of Online Sales in search...

No Christmas Tree

Richard L. Meister Jr. @RichardMeister (5328) • Otis Orchards, Washington 14 Dec 15

I have not erected a Christmas tree in about 25 years. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Scrooge. I have my reasons and I think they are all good. Reason one: No one comes to my house for Christmas so why have a tree? Reason two:...

Someone posted a discussion earlier today about why people seem so grumpy and "down" in this supposed happy time of the year. I replied to the discussion, effectively becoming a grinch. I apologize for answering the question as...

Scrooge (A Poem)

Steve West @zebra2222 (5268) • United States 3 Dec 15

His heart was made of stone. His skin was wrinkly and dry. He didn't give to charity. The homeless, he despised. He was a cruel man. Wealth filled his vile soul. Money made him happy. The poor, he wished disposed. At would take...

Dreading the onslaught of Christmas Commercials?

maximumgravity1 @maximumgravity1 (245) • United States 15 Nov 10

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the onslaught of Christmas commercials appalling? It's funny how the rest of the year, we have to be politically correct when it comes to mentioning "holiday season", but commercials can be...

When I was laid off last month a union had just started making their pitch to the employees. Recently there was a vote and the majority of the staff and crews voted to unionize. This is the same union that represents the parent...
