Is it Me or Have You Noticed....

Ahh Camaroz, your point is well taken however, you base your response on the fact that you feel people are only here for the money. While this is for many if not most, not all of us are here for the cash. It was a good way to hook us and reel us in, but I come for the commraderie these days as do many others.

this is for gotobx you are talking about other peoples discussion look at this one you started. it's no better than the ones you try to put people down for. gotOBX (288) What's Your Favorite Smell? I like fresh cut grass and the scent of a woman. And a Pizza place, and the doughnut shop, and the salt air by the ocean....

Ahh you are correct Sweetcakes! Now this is what I'm talking about. Now we have a bonafide discussion on our hands! If you were to go back even further you would see that I use to make many posts like that and I even poked fun at myself for doing so. And I'm sorry my personality does come across abrasive sometimes however this is the written word and it is much more difficult to convey feelings here since we are not face to face. I mean no disrespect to anyone here. I wasn't putting anyone down, my thought here was that people here make those posts and get more responses, than say this discussion we are having now will generate. I was simply bringing that up and hoped to find some like thinkers to discuss this with. And I appreciate your response. Now I'm going to have to keep an eye out for you Sweetcakes! My Mom is from Akron by the way, love that part of the country. Bring It!

I feel ya. Again my point was a short simple post at this site takes off. It has been my experience in seeing the simple posts go of forever. But the thought provoking ones fizzle like a flan in the cupboard.

ilse72 thanks for the response. However I don't recall you responding to any of my other posts. So are you sure you look to respond to only thought provoking discussions? Kidding of course. Well said, I too have found myself frustrated many times here. I think the discussions that seem to be repeated over and over come from new members that haven't noticed their posts have already been asked in the past. It does happen quite a bit. I look forward to rapping with you in the future.

Trust me, I'm endlessly entertaining. I too just peruse the posts and grasp at ones that I find interesting. I have some friends now that I love reading here at myLot. I look forward to their posts everyday. I'm addicted. Damn, another vice to add to my many other. Know a good therapist?

LOL...I am sure I just missed your other questions. I am here off and on during the day so my posting is hit or miss. I also don't follow any particular poster. I just read the discussions and if I have something to add, I do. However, I can honestly say this is the first one I've seen by you. :)

For some earning a buck is why they are here. It is like a sport. Lets see how much I can make. For others, myself included this site is a place to rap about what is important to me and what is happening in the world/my world in general. The money is gravey!

Indeed it is not Mensa. Perhaps it is just me friend. Perhaps I expect too much from this site. Perhaps I'm being too critical and judgmental tonight. I don't know. I guess I lost site of the fact that perhaps the things that people write about at this site are truly important to them. What I find comical might be serious to the poster. I doubt it most times but I'm sure this is the case some of the time. NOW...if I read a post that said, "how do you cook your meat?" I would hope the poster would elaborate on this topic and not only ask "how do you cook your meat?" Reason being is that opens up a huge field of interpretation. I would want some detail like...."how do you cook your meat?" "I cook mine so that not all the nutrients are burned away leaving a healthy piece of meat." Then I would know where you're going with this and the responses you would get would probably be more meaningful to you. Heck, we might even learn a thing or two while we're at it.

Silva, Although I pose many questions in my posts. Many of my posts are statements as opposed to questions or opinions. I just throw it out there and wonder if anyone will comment on them. Many times I don't recieve responses or very few. But now and then someone can relate and I feel the bond. I too am interested in holistic remedies and cures outside the traditional medical field. I believe strongly in the powers Reiki and diet.

Maybe I know why. Probaly cos I make too many mistakes writing! Sorry about that

Yes we've all started corny discussion. And I too shake my head when I see the simple "no" or "yes" answers. I have answered like that to some discussions. But I did it out of jest. Because the discussion topics were like...."do you breath air?"

Well I somewhat agree with you. Sadly it is when we really get to know each other and the baggage we inevitably carry with us that we pack up and run! Keeping it lite here at myLot is fine. I feel it is when we push it and let people know who we really are and what we are going through, that I can better relate with others. But I get what you're saying as well. Thanks!

macubx, when you say rating you mean that number beside everyone's name right? I feel like such a meathead here sometimes. I just logon, read, post, and log off. Never really paying attention to how this monster rolls.

If you come in with an open mind and don't expect too much, this site isn't all that bad. When I get on a good thread here, I love it. For instance this discussion has been my most stimulating to date.

As do I. I like to dig a little deeper and know the "why". Not just scratch the surface.

I was intrigued by the money at first, but quickly got caught up in the posts. Dare I say I would visit this site even if they didn't pay. I look forward to certain users here and what they have to say, keeps me coming back.
