MyLot - Addiction, Support Group or Addicting Support Group?

This is true,maybe it is some mass conspiracy to somehow take over the world

I think that is most definitely ... probably ... might possibly be a conspiracy to take over the world. The question is, how do we resist it?

Every other Active mylotter do think about Mylot in their Offline activities That shows how much they love this site

So you are saying that myLot is responsible for putting a new spin on the word "addiction" and make it into a positive term? Humph, the nerve of some people - just when we are starting to get comfortable with one way of thinking and come to terms with it they have to go and change things on us!

I hold myLot responsible for many other positives too. There are many people who thought that earning online was impossible. They have had to change that opinion once they got their payout. Others who thought that online friendship is something that only happnes in films but now they know different too after being here for a while. Others who thought that different cultures could not get along with each other but just look at what goes on here and it is all so obvious that it can and does happen. Yes myLot have a lot to answer for!

'Addiction' is always used to define a bad habit... I said it is a good habit to be here... It is not an addition- not a bad habit...

MyLot has altered the meaning of 'addiction' and allowed it to become a good thing too

'I have developed kind of a liking ' That's it! You're addicted too!

Zed, you always know just the right words to say! You are right that it does not matter how long someone has been on here. What matters is how we interact and share with each other and try to lift each other up when we are down or laugh and cheer at the good times or lend a shoulder when needed. I think it is a brilliant idea to have Wit join us and strum the guitar. Perhaps we will convince him that myLot is a "good addiction", and he should spend more time on here.

Wow, I did not realize that you had been on here for so long, Zed. I am just a baby compared to you, since I have not even been on here for a year yet. I would have to check my profile to tell you exactly how long, but I know it is still measuring in months rather than years. I like how you said that it is a "mutual bond" between us all. That is great! Yes, we can come here and share with friends no matter what our mood is, and most times we end up feeling at least a little better and a little richer (in more ways than one) when we are done.

If she can be a baby----then what I'm

oh ouchie my aching head please I also need a brownie, plus it will help my black eye,

Dawn, you are the second person to mention brownies. Perhaps you have stumbled onto something and that is the sinister plot behind this whole thing. Maybe the founders of myLot have bought up the entire supply of brownie mixes, and they are sending us subliminal messages that make us crave brownies. While we are contemplating this, how about you pass me one of them there brownies.

See, I told you it was a conspiracy!

That's another positive - if you are poor when you join, you have the chance to become rich, in many more ways than one!

That's another good point that you have brought up. How dare they not only put a positive spin on "addiction" but also help us to become a little less impoverished while we are enjoying our addiction. I just don't think it is right to flaunt this type of thing in our faces like they are doing, and especially not all at once.

you're right it helps us to earn from various sites which makes mylotting worthy for online money makers

typo alert should be in our case,not care slippery fingers again.

Hatley, you make an excellent point that not all support groups are to cure addiction, although that really is the one that comes to mind first when I hear the words "support group". I do realize that there are so many other kinds of groups these days that help people to support each other, and that is great. I was actually being silly when I started this discussion, and I was just trying to find a fun way to put a slant on these popular topics. However, myLot has been a very real help for a lot of people with their problems, and it is wonderful that we have a place to not only discuss our lives, problems and joys with friends but also earn a few cents in the process.

Awww, thanks for such a nice compliment. I think that I also get a smile addiction most days when I come here and interact with my friends, especially when I read such nice words from them. That might be another side-effect of myLot ... a smile addiction. Hmmm ... when you add up all the side-effects and benefits of this sort of addiction, I definitely think that more people should join this type of addictive support group. I think that they are missing out on a lot of positive things if they don't at least try it. Don't you agree?

Basqui, yes there are some topics and comments that are very upsetting either because they are inappropriate or because they are so sad and distressing. Unfortunately not everything can be fun and happy, but that is where the support group aspect of myLot comes into play, because we are here to help each other through the tough times as well as share the fun and happy times.

owh, maybe this is the side-effect? smiling by yourself! I do have other feelings as i read more topics and comments here. Sometimes i get upset about a comment and some times i laugh if it's really hilarious.

I agree that just about anything that is fun and entertaining can be addicting, and it does not hurt when it also repeatedly pays us money to do it. I think that this community is wonderful in so many ways, and you have mentioned several of them here. I am very glad that I found my way here, and I have met a lot of wonderful people while earning a couple of cents in the process. Therefore, I think that it is a good thing if myLot is an addictive support group.

How are you doing, my friend? I hope the recovery and therapy is going well and not causing you too much pain. I also hope that some recovery has started in your country as well or at least that all the tremors have subsided so that you are out of danger and can start to heal. I do not know whether or not support groups to cure addictions really work, since you might be right that they might be trading one type of addiction for another. I think that myLot is a fabulous addiction, though, and I totally agree that there are no contraindications (except possibly for sore fingers and a stiff neck, but those are not serious and go away after a short time), so I think that myLot should definitely be ones first choice for an addictive support group!

Hello again. Yes, I saw what you were doing, and I'm surprised we haven't had some of the sense of humour bypass patients ranting about making fun of addiction, etc. I'd love to meet up with a few people as well - perhaps we ought to aim for a MyLot Convention in a couple of years, with Lamb and Diana in charge?

I really would like to have a MyLot Convention or something like that. I have absolutely no idea how we would arrange it, since we are from all over the world. We might have to have individual get-togethers on each continent and then web-conference all together. I don't know, but I think it is a fabulous idea and would love to actually be able to do it. I also think that Lamb and MysD are perfect choices for organizers of this event. I am rather surprised that I have not gotten any responses from the "humor bypass patients", too. Don't misunderstand me, I am not complaining that I have not had any comments from them. I am a little surprised, however, since I had thought about that when I started the discussion and had rather anticipated at least one or two. Perhaps I am not "popular" enough for them to harass.

I feel very lucky to have found this site, too, and I am very lucky to have found some wonderful friends on here. I do consider my friends on myLot "real friends", and there are some of them that I would really love to meet in the off-line world, if ever we had the opportunity, and that is saying a lot from me, because believe it or not I am a very private person when it comes to those types of things. I think it would be a lot of fun, though, and definitely worthwhile even if we had to wait a few years to save up the money to be able to meet. Yes, addiction generally has a negative connotation, and it is a very serious matter in most cases. I was not trying to make light of that, but I was being silly and trying to put a positive spin on an otherwise negative thing to make our own definition here, as we have done with so many other things, such as this being a S.C.A.M. site. I kind-of liked the image of myLot being an addictive support group but in a good, positive way.

Is that the same as saying that you are a hooker if you are hooked?

Alright, I am not exactly sure how to respond in this box. I thought Sunny was the one around here that was always charging fees, but it seems that we might have another one in our midst, too?!

I know, there are just so many reasons why people would be addicted to myLot that it just does not seem quite fair. Even the people that have tried other on-line earning sites say that myLot is far more addicting than most of the others out there. I can understand why you would want other earning sites to become more like this one, but I am not sure that is such a good idea. I mean, do we really want to lose some of our friends to other sites like this one that might be just as addicting? I think we should keep them all to ourselves.

More Sites similar to Mylot---- people would go crazy then
