Ok, what is mylot to you - just a place to make a little money, kill a little time, talk a little, make some friends? Or do you see it as a place where you can learn about the world, improve yourself, learn English, improve your grammar, learn about the world and other cultures? Or maybe a way to make the world a better place?

Mylot to me is mainly therapy and a place of counseling as well as making good friends which I have done, very close friends indeed and I have been very fortunate enough to know people on Mylot who have given me support, friendship, advice and love! (well not the love) but you know what I mean love as in friendship. Money is secondary, because without this site and without the friends I don't think I would have had the courage and strength to get out of my abusive relationship so I have a lot to thank Mylot for.

I started on myLot when I was feeling pretty down. I was pretty addicted at first, but I eventually moderated my use. I feel very invloved here, and very cared for. I have friends here who care about me, and also will help me learn about other things.

Yes, Wolfie, I remember hearing about your past life, it was not pretty and I am glad that you are doing better now. Good things are often not easy, it was hard for you to get out of your relationship but you are doing better now. Glad MyLot could help

Maybe you just named it all. I am on Mylot to postpone what I have to do, but I don't feel like doing right now... Does it make sense to you?... Other than this, I like Mylot, it makes me feel connected without stepping out to the cold...

Yes, it seems to give us opportunities to 'meet' and 'talk' to people or learn about things we would not normally have to opportunity to do.

When I first joined mylot I did it for the few cents and to keep busy writing when I didn't have a writing assignment to work on - now it's all of the things you mentioned and I can't imagine not popping in now and then to touch base with my friends at least.

Yup, I though it was an easy way to make money...but it really isn't. It is an easy way to make friends and talk to the world.

'Easy money' at first I thought the same thing but when I look at most of my discussions, responses, comments - there really is a whole lotta time and thought put into mylot and when you figure the time the money really is nothing.

Actually my love for myLot is strong and mainly because it's a chance to talk to people who really have been good to me and I do believe that there are lots that have actually said prayers for me when I most needed them. I haven't been well enough to spend hours and hours on here therefore I have never made any money to speak of but that's OK, I still love my cyber friends.

I see Mylot as a place to make the world a better place. To have my say and to earn extra money. Mylot has had a big impact on my everyday life as I am sure it has had for others on here.

Rozie...remember the coke or pepsi commercial (maybe you are too young) I like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony - wouldn't it be a great commercial for myLot. It is nice to have your say too...and get paid for it. Usually I just get told to be quiet!

I do remember that song. That would be cute for Mylot. I talk too much, so I get told to be quiet all the time.

I guess a little of all the above except for two of them. I was born in Texas so I speak English and as for grammar, heck if I haven't learned correct grammar by now then I never will. hahaha

I lived in Texas for a while -- is San Antonio in let's see, 1973, I think it was. Loved it! Loved the Riverwalk. What part of Texas? I am still working on my grammar and writing. I think grammar is one of the hardest things to learn and remember.

I was born and live again here in Corpus Christi. Not too far from San Antonio, just the road from here to there seem like it takes forever sometimes to get from one to the other. hahaha

hello debs... well, i see mylot as a very nice and a great site because it gives youall the opportunities. all of us have our own reasons, and as for my, it is stated in your post... improve myself and learn more about english and grammar. also, it is nice to see discussions posted by other nationalities about their country and or promoting their country. and as to problems, people are there to give advices and even share their own experience so you see that you are not alone with that kind of problem... mylot is a great place, it even lets you earn.

I find it to be a social outlet, plus I have learned quite a bit about various things, and made just a little bit of cash.

I know, I have learned a few things and made some cash...not a ton, but enough to make it fun. And socially -- it can't be beat.

when i first came here it was indeed to make a little money and indeed for a while it was quite lucrative. However, even though the money has been cut dramatically, to the point where it no longer pays for the cost of being here, i still come back almost every day for my friends, blessed be

I like the idea I can see a variety of views off of one question. Sometimes I get locked into my thinking and I don't always see options. But because everyone is an individual, I get to open my eyes to another world. I have learned some about other cultures also.

I know..it is a good way to learn about other cultures. It is this kind of thing which I hope will help end prejudice.

Orignally I came to mylot for some extra cash, but I ended up meeting some great poeple and now I'm here for the people. I love the friends that I have made and yes it's a big plus that you get to talk to people from all walks of life with many different cultures and you actually learn stuff .. I'm here for everything you know the saying in for a penny in for a pound. Well I started out being here for the penny now I'm staying for the pound.LOL!!!

When I registered here, all I wanted was to try if it is really possible to earn money here. However, when I explored it, I realized that more than money, this is a nice place to meet people and to learn.
