answer all your discussions tofay. I am feeling overwhelmed as I have 79 posts from friends to answer. I do know that you all want to make pay out but all I can do is answer one or two posts from each of my friends. too busy today - but you know that I normally answer everyone's post so pease forgive me. Are you feeling overwhelmed witht he amount of posts to answer?

Hi ya cynthiann This has happened to me a couple of times recently and I have had no choice but to delete the email and not respond to the discussions of my friends. Some of the time it is too late to respond as it has become irrelivant. I do try to respond to all my friends discussions but sometimes it is just impossible especially if I have been away. I won't be around much for the next two weeks as it is the Easter break here and I shall be off to Cornwall again. Have got to get my pasty fix!! LOL. I would never be offended if you didn't respond to any of my discussions as I would think that you were either too busy to respond or had nothing to add to the discussion, both of which are fine by me!

I have your pc on the door of my kitchen cupboard, it makes me feel warm when it is raining outside!! I will have to send you another one when I am down there, now where did I put your address!! LOL I too love the scones, clotted cream and jam but I try to resist when I can but I might have to succumb this time around as the weather is getting warmer. I don't tend to eat that sort of thing in the winter!!

Thanks Humbug, wish everyone was like you. Have a wonderful Easter in Cornwall. I look at your pc - have it on my filing cabinet in my office. For me - it would be the clotted cream and strawberry jam - oh, and the sconess too of course. Rachel is coming out for Easter and my DIL will be in from Dubai - so my home will be full of family. Blessings

I understand what your saying I have answered those discussion where it's a great discussion question or thought but it doesn't continue after you answer because the OP doesn't respond.

I do feel the same way as you do. There are so many posts I want to answer, but I do not have the time. I try to comment on my unresolved discussions, but even then it takes some time. As for the other posts that others start who return my comment, well it seems there is a couple who make it hard for everyone else, by forcing people to agree with them. So now for a time, I have to turn off the notify, and go through the process of entering the url where I can go back and respond to the comment in my notepad, and go back then, thus avoiding any that will get a rant back from those who want everyone to agree with them and say that they are better and know more then God. I sure hate people who make it hard for everyone else. And I hate it when I want to respond to a discussion and cannot.

Yes, I agree. There are some questions that we cannot answer. And some posts that are highjacked by those who are not our friends and make it hard for us to answer or comment on because they attacked everything we say. It is not the friends, but the non-friends who want to make things hard for us all. I really should go and answer more posts. Maybe if I turn the general notifys off, I can.

I'm still catching up and I may never get there. But don't worry about me making payout. I didn't make it last month so I didn't have to work very hard this month to get there!

I have expenses coming out of paypal, so this just covers them. So I have never had to figure out how to get a payout. Hmmm....

Payout is another problem. The money has added up but I cannot work out the Paypal system. My daughter is coming forn Easter so I plan to ask her to sort it out for me. I have nearly US$47 so I think that I should withdraw it or I could leave it until it reached US100? A hundred sounds good. My friend has a sister in the travel business and she wants me to go on a 7 day cruise in September. Only $469 dollars for 7 days. all along the coast from Boston to Maine to Nova Scotia. Highly discounted of course. Sounds good to me. This is my new dream!lol

HI Cynthiann: Don't over stress about those posts, you can only do what you can do in a day's time; At least that's all I can do in a days time, not much lately (G)!! I'm sure they will understand there are just times that we all have other thing to take care and or do in our busy hectic days; Hang in there dear friend;

That's alright, just answer what you can. I am not overwhelmed with the amount of posts to answer, that much better we have so many topics to choose from. I am 3 dollars short to payout but am still trying my best to lessen it down. I don't think I can make it to payout this month except if I can avail a task and have a 3 dollar rewards. Anything can happen however, nothing is impossible. So grateful I am if I'll be able to make it.

Hi, I dont think that you have to answer all the posts from your friends as at times you may not be in a mood to do so. Moreover I know that you do respond to all the discussions I had started and I really thank you so much for it. What I just trying to say is dont stress yourself out, take care dear friend.

You have to build up a group of friends that you respond to and hopefully, they will respond back to you. So ask everyone who responds to you to be your friend and build up freindships and then you will get more to respoond to. You are a new Mylotter. It takes time to build friendship. Good luck

yes, most certainly many times. What I do is take it into sections. I work on what I can handle and then go away for awhile. When I come back I will do more and so forth and so on. Once I start going through them I find that some of them I just delete as I have nothing that I can say for that discussion. If I just take them one at a time and do what I can I find it not so over whelming.

Yes, there are some discussions that I have no interest in and do not know which hip hop artist is popular! I suppose it is a generation gap. also technical discussions - I cannot answer those either!

I use to worry more about answering post on Mylot, but I don't really stress about it that much any more. I always want Mylot to be fun for me and not a job that I have to do. It is nice to be able to come here and relax.

Hey cynthiann! You don't need to stress over this! If people don't understand that you have 2 jobs and a family to take care of then that's too bad! I have no idea how you have any time to breathe let alone post on here ever! With all that you have to do I can't understand how you even have time to sign on here! Don't worry about this place! Go do your real life! At least you have one, not like some of us! I love you girlfriend and God Bless you and yours! Love, Opal/Leslie

Thank you sweetie pie for your most kind words. I usually do an hour before and after work and an hour at lunchtime. But it is not always possible and then I am feeling guilty. have to learn hjust to respond to a dozen or so and leave the rest. Blessings
