How do you use your time here on Mylot? Do you post topics for discussion as a way to blow off steam? Do you use it for research? Do you like to play devil's advocate? I like using Mylot for a variety of the above reasons and I have even found it helps me develop character ideas for stories....so why do you Mylot?

Taface, all of the reasons you have described would fit me. I also adore the strong friendships I have formed here in mylot. I kind of think of mylot as my favorite watering hole. I can come in and get a refreshing drink and be able to gossip till my hearts content about anything going on in the world. it just depends on the seat you take and who you are sitting next to.

kinda reminds me of Steel Magnolia's Clarece "If you don't have anything nice to say, sit next to me." I love it!!!!! Yeah, I noticed that a lot of things have changed since joining this site. I have found valuable information, inspiration and friends. Thanks.

OH my goodness you are a Steel Magnolia fan and you can quote too! Actually it was Mae West that coined the phrase if you can't say anything nice about someone, sit next to me! :)))

For me, Mylot is very therapeutic. I work and live in an extremely conservative community. I can't always discuss my liberal views the way I would like to, for fear of alienating myself. As an elementary school teacher, I cannot afford to be seen as an extremist in contrast to the community. I do allude to my way of thinking, always, but do not discuss it on any kind of deep level. Mylot gives me a chance to express my beliefs with other adults. I also enjoy knowing other people's viewpoints and opinions, and very much enjoy the diversity found here. I like the fun little life connections people make through personal discussions here too, and am glad to be a part of that, also.

I do this because I like responding to discussionss and reading others views about certain topics. It has nothing much to do with the money. This is a way to pass time when I'm in a holiday.

I use Mylot because it's my only way "out of the house" so to speak. I am a stay at home mom without a license or a car so I don't get out much :-P But I come on Mylot and it just takes me away from things. I usually come on to see what kind of stuff people are talking about and as I am replying, if a question pops in my head, then I will make my own post :D Sometimes if something makes me really angry I will post that to see if others feel the same way as I do. But typically I come on to see what my friends are thinking about and respond to almost everything I read :D

I know how much it sucks not having a license or a car...I didn't get my license until I was 24 and now I have a license but no car of my own....so I gotta borrow one--which is not such a big deal, but I still want MY own yanno....

Great question. Since I have only recently joined Mylot I am still getting settled into find my main reason, but my list is definitely made up of a few reasons... 1. To make friends 2. To socialise 3. To network 4. To get word out about my business - if you are interested respond and I will let you know more. 5. To procrastinate on the work issue! :¬) 6. A way to get away from kids, kids, kids!! and more!

I use MyLot to socialize. I have moved around a lot and now I live out in the country so the computer is my life line to the outside world!

Well, I originally signed up here to make money. I was looking for a place to get paid for writing. This site wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but it seemed like a good place to start. I have really enjoyed posting here so far. The money isn't that great, but it is fun to get to know the people here, and getting a nickel or two for it here and there is cool too..
