Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you're at a loss for a discussion
What do you do?
Check for news articles? Go hopping around YouTube? Go through old family stories? Make up something dumb like I'm doing here? Or do you just go and take a myLot break and have some brownies and milk?

My blood is red, and I am blue. I want to be on MyLot and not Freelance too.
Money is green, and the skies are gray. I do not want to work, I want to play.
I can always MyLot, but I do not often start discussions. I have about fourteen freelance articles to get written. The comment about the blood was because I gave two units of red blood cells this afternoon. I freelance for a little money,so I guess I had better get going.

Roses are red
Dawn is true blue
I'd like some brownies
If I knew what to do.
So Dawn, I need a recipe so I can try these American specialties.
Roses die quickly
But violets last
I have no discussions
And time is far past.
So I'll reply to yours
Which are always a blast.
Mine are slow coming
Cos my mind is so vast.
When one surfaces
I'll post it real fast
Before I forget it
And the moment is past.

This is Dawn's specialty. I couldn't do it until she "made" me. Just try and surprise yourself.

hi dawnald roses are red, violets are blue, 30 on a page,oh too much to view!! whew!! So funny yesterday I had ten on a page,and six were commented, so it was lunch time and I would come back and finish
commenting. So I came back and the six were still commented on but what the f. look theres a whole slew more, whats going on? so I answered one mylotters discussion and the answer dawned on me, we now had thirty responses on a page but I kept on going like the energizer bunny and finally I answered all of them. whew!! Then I took a break and had some chocolate chip cookies left over from our lunch. Made a new discussion today as I saw a discussion wanting us to play a game and thought now surely most everyone knows mylot doesn't like the lets play a game discussions so I made a dumb discussion. I mean this one is so patently evident I think a lot of newbies know better. but who knows? this person was not an oldie but he had a few points.

I like 30 on a page, I hated the page numbers thing...
Yep, I saw that discussion, almost went over and said "this is going to be deleted", but then I didn't...

I THINK I like the 30 per page - but I'd be MUCH happier if it was on the "responded" "friends started" etc pages. Wouldn't THAT be great?

Even I would love to participate which pays back more. But can't find one and also mylot is more interesting I think. It has so huge collection of discussion. How can anyone not find anything interesting here. Everyday around 1000 + discussions are started. So many different minds working on so many different interests daily. Your mind has to match somebody's mind on a day. My does and so I respond. I also respond just for the sake of earning, sometimes I am very enhusiastic and give advice to people on what to do and what not to do with their problems. My suggestions hardly help anyone I reckon.

If I am lost to start a discussion I usually browse the newspapers articles online and I am easily inspired by them. However I have taken a stand that I ' d better start replying to discussions than starting them myself. Usually when I am at a loss I go into my gmail account where I receive mylot discussions notification and I start replying to my friend's posts.

They used to be off by default, now it's the other way around. yes, I switch them on, and yes, I'm drowning.....

Yes me too. The discussion notifications really help. I think they are on by default when we add new friends! We will need to switch on the notifier for our older friends! Do you switch on the notifier for all the friends? Then you will daily get around 1000 mails in your mail box from mylot.

Hello dawn!
[b]Roses are red,
Violets are blue
I would devise
a discussion,
it is true![/b]
You see I do not start many discussions, but I am sure, the
moment my mind says that I need to start one, I would find out
a topic to start and my dear friends are my great supporters and
they would come and join me in my discussion and don't hesistate
to share their candid views with me and with their blessings
I keep getting good number of responses to my discussions.

Hi dawnald,
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I don't do much discussions
but only reponses,
I normally just respond to discussions and the rest of the time I am on my other social sites, it keeps me busy.

Are you sure this discussion will not get removed? As it is pointless and has no problem, no solution,no conclusion etc. The three most important part of a discussion is missing. Lol I am giving a nice explaination here.
Looking at your blue star, I think there is very less chance of this discussion getting deleted. So, I would like to add my views here.
When I don't find any topic to start then I participate only in responding to discussions thats it. May be while reading through the responses there I might get a idea for a new discussion. This has happened very rarely though but still I never go and have a break from mylot unless I am very busy with my office work.
I love mylot a lot!!

Roses in a vase
Violets in a cup
I'm so behind on myLot
Will I ever catch up
I've been busy with "life" the past few days . . . so I guess that's been my myLot break. Had my little one's 5th birthday party this weekend . . . had to prepare for it and it went well - we had our cake and ate it too - hee hee! No brownies or milk, but did have my chocolate cupcakes and junky Capri Sun! Is Dawn at a loss for a discussion? I don't believe it - hee hee. All I know is I have to catch up on my own discussions/responses and then get to all the friends' discussions. I'll get to your stuff soon . . . but if you're offering brownies, I may get to yours faster - hee hee!

I always have brownies!
I'm catching up discussions too, but mostly I'm catching up on sleep! Apparently the only way I'm going to get sleep during the Olympics is to go and see them live!

Lately I've only gotten to listen to music in the car. The bonus room is occupied and that's where the stereo is...

Hmmm... I wonder what would come up if you put "discussion ideas" in the myLot search bar?
You could always check out the "no response" section and see if there's something there you can comment on.

Been doing that for days. If you notice, all the oldest discussions are on top, and I have been responding to them when I get bored.
