Is everyone on their lunch break?

I've noticed that hardly anyone responds to discussions on My Lot between three and five PM (EST). Maybe they are just busy taking care of their kids. Totaly understandable! Parenting duties always come first in my house as well. Morning times are really best for getting the most responses. I've found that morning My Lotters are very generous with the number of responses that they give to discussions. And, for that I am very grateful! But, afternoons are definitely the slowest times for me. Perhaps someone is trying to tell me to take a break. So, what is your slowest time for getting responses on My Lot?

All day for me, Its 6 am here in Australia...I think that everyone else is asleep over the other side of the world during my daytime. Its so quiet some days, there is no activity at all sometimes..I get very lonely..lol.

I usually spend time on myLot in the early morning hours, and then later at night. I've been busy lately and sometimes I get a day or so behind in responding to new discussions and comments. I hope people don't mind too much if I respond later on. I see this discussion was started 1 day ago. I had some more major dental work done yesterday so I just didn't feel up to being at the computer.

Well, just drop by anytime! It's always nice to see a familiar face and hear a familiar voice. Hope the dental surgery was not too painful. When my spouse had dental work done seven years ago, he could barely speak all day long. Very painful!

I don't start many discussions myself. But I have noticed that there aren't as many started in the afternoon. And that's usually one of the times that I can actually spend some time on mylot. I can give it my undivided attention, because my son goes to bed around 2 or so (central time) and sleeps until 4 or 5. I just use the time as a time to catch up on some discussions that my friends have started, and I havent' had a chance to respond to yet. I've been so busy with moving this month that I havent' really spent much time at all on mylot, but now that everything is moved and the old house is cleaned up, I have more time to spend online again. So now I'm trying to catch up on the discussions I missed while I was gone!

Love your logic there sweety! I have never noticed what time I get more responses but I know that people here from all over the world come on to mylot at all different times - I get too confused when I try to work it out! lol xx

I know! I know! Tell me about it. I would have figured that the chats would be steady all day long. But, they are not. Usually there is a one or two hour lull in discussion responses before things pick up again.

Dear Beautyqueen26, I get time to write responses only in the night. Sometime during the day I post responses from my office at my free time. For my discussion, I do not maintain any time for posting it. Whenever idea and opportunity come together I post a discussion. I always get few responses. May be my posted discussion might not be good quality. From your discussion I gather, for posting a discussion I have to calculate the timing at what time is in India, based on your timings so that I may get more responses. Thanks for posting this discussion.

I have always wondered about the time differential myself when it comes to US versus India and Asia times. I have always gotten the best responses during the morning hours, US time, maybe that will help you out.

I've noticed afternoons are slow too. Everyone is probably at work and us stay at home moms are probably busy with the kids. I know I haven't had much MyLot time lately at all. It's been kind of hit or miss for me. Sometimes I have tons of time to be on here and other times I'm just swamped and it will be days before I can get caught up on my discussions.

That's about the way it happens with me. Not sure why. Maybe mom schedules are the same everywhere around the world. Wish I could post more though. For the first two months I was the resident power poster. Now, I'm lucky to get ten discussions posted in a days time. Actually, ten discussions is rather optimistic these days. Today I posted seven or eight discussons and that was a busy day for me. Maybe next month will be better.
