Happy Sunday

LillyWriter @lillywriter (1143) • Lithuania 8 Dec 19

It has been raining for almost a month with tiny breaks of several hours or one another more or less sunny day. Gray in all its shades overwhelmed nature, the town, and even a little bit of the soul. In such cases, it is...

Gina Wow, that's a long time. We've had almost persistent rain for nearly five days and it's already driving me crazy. I'm afraid I don't find long gray rainy days very inspiring. I'm spending far too much time sitting at my computer.

Do you like having your picture taken?

The Horse @TheHorse (226556) • Walnut Creek, California 6 Oct 17

I'm one of those who does not like having my picture taken. I find it very hard to "smile for the camera," probably because it looks fake, and I know my eyes aren't into it. It's less difficult if I have sunglasses on, but I still...

Gina To be honest I'm not too keen on having my photo taken at all. The only side of the camera I like to be is behind it. My profile photo is the only kind of selfie I'm happy to let anyone see.

Are you afraid of clowns?

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17594) 7 Oct 17

This is exactly a fear of one my 5 year old cousinsis facing right now. He can't get close to clowns after I've seen a commercial of the movie IT (the remake). I'm trying to make him lose his fear by...

Gina I was surprised when I first found out there was such a phobia, but I believe it's quite common. I'm not aware of anyone I've met who's afraid of clowns though.

Can You Believe I Forgot All About MyLot?

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 2 Sep 17

I can hardly believe it myself. Since my car accident in the middle of June I've had so many distractions I've not had as much time to spend online. I wasn't hurt beyond whiplash in the accident, but I did have to do a lot of...

Gina Good to hear you're okay. I haven't been on myLot much either but I did notice your lack of activity. We had no landline or home internet for 10 days after a cable got damaged by workers installing fibre internet in our area, so I've hardly been online lately...

JJ @JolietJake (50190) 27 Aug 17

Gina Well said. The people who leave comments like that usually don't read any of the posts they comment on. I've been complaining about that ever since Bubblews was still paying.

How can I earn $5 per day at MyLot?

fadhili sima @fazoboya (27) 27 Aug 17

I have been a member for a while and my earning rate is not increasing. How active should I be to earn $5 per day, or how many responses should I post per day?

Gina You may have been here a while, but based on the number (28) next to your user name, you haven't been very active. The only way you're going to earn money here is by spending a lot of time interacting with other users, making interesting comments that they'll...

How many comments

peachpurple @peachpurple (13960) • Malaysia 28 Aug 17

Gina As others have said it's impossible to work it out. I think the key to success on myLot is to read and comment on posts that interest you rather than setting a goal of how much you want to earn in a day. Comments made just for the sake of commenting when you...

How do you clean your optical glasses?

youless @youless (113134) • Guangzhou, China 21 Aug 17

In the past I just cleaned it with the cloth. Of course the result is not very good. Now I learned a practical and easy method. That's I can use a little liquid detergent and water and it can clean the optical glasses well and...

Gina I guess I need to try this too. My glasses always look awful. The trouble is that there's a non-reflective coating on them which is probably wearing off so I'm not sure they'll ever look good.

Have you ever put honey in your drink?

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17594) 13 Aug 17

Honey is used for various things (be creative! ), including to make some beverages different. Have you tried this kind of innovation with some drink that you like? Once I tried to mix it with coffee and cream, but I...

Gina Like most of the people who've commented, I've tried honey in tea. Mostly I don't sweeten my tea or coffee though. I have enough sugar in chocolate without adding it to hot drinks.

Gina Sorry to hear that. Every time I try a new forum I'm terrified that something like that is going to happen. My rating is good, but not good enough for the forums that interest me most.

Hi! I'm Glen Cammpbell!

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (49624) • St. Catharines, Ontario 9 Aug 17

Well, not anymore. The "Rhinestone Cowboy" died last night at age 81. He had Alzheimer's but didn't let it keep him down. He released his last record, Adios, just this past June. RIP

Gina Alzheimer's is a horrible disease. Although his album was only released in June, apparently it was recorded between 2012 and 2013. If he was anything like the people I've known who had Alzheimer's, he probably wasn't even aware of that album being released.
