I've been on mylot for half and hour now and can't find one discussion I can respond to. There are pages and pages of one line discussions and I'm staying away from those besides how do you answer one line that really doesn't say anything? I've tried my interests, new, recent...and all of that and finding nothing. There are a lot of discussions that I don't even know what they are trying to say...maybe I'm just tired and I know I have a lot on my mind with my d/i/l in the hospital and thinking about where I'm going to spend Christmas. My life is really messed up right now. My oldest daughter isn't talking to me for a stupid reason but I think she's starting to go through the change so I try not to think about it but I miss my granddaughter who has Downes Syndrome and won't even let her talk to me! So, I'll go play a game or something and try mylot again later. Did you ever have this problem? Sometimes it's hard to find a good discussion !

Oh yes, that happens even if your mind is not wandering somewhere... what about, going back to your previous discussions and answer the comments. so people would know that you are reading their suggestions and comments. that would be nice at least it will spare a little time of worries off your mind.

There are good discussions on here. I generally start at "today's top" discussions, go through the first few pages, move to the next tab, do the same and keep on across like that. I do break away some and follow a particular interest in so far sometimes to see what other discussions there are within it; I will go through it a bit and, then, return to my typical pattern.
Of course, I do drift in and out of myLot throughout the day when I'm online, so my method of wandering about the website works fairly well.

hi wilson I l ove to do that too and have no real set pattern but hit friends adn hot and mylot and just a few of my interest then go to my own and start commenting back so I can get caught up again. I do not try to make too many discussions as I feel I must comment back to each one and it takes a little
time too.
time too.

Yes, it's happened to me many times. I don't like to respond to just anything just for a few pennies. I like to respond to something that makes sense, lol! I saw all those one liners and I just went somewhere else. I hope you get to see your granddaughter soon. That's wrong that she won't let her talk to you..very wrong. I hope your Christmas turns out better than you think.

I'm happy to see that other members are having the same problem looking for discussions and noticing all the one liners. I think admin will take care of them sooner or later. As for my granddaughter I doubt I'll get to see her and I just have to deal with that.

Yeah i find this issue quite a bit where I try to stay on here and respond and can never find anything interesting I want to respond too. But lately my friends have been posting alot of discussions so that's been keeping me busy. For the past 2 days I've gotten to respond to 20 discussions a day because of them. But usually I come on and there's nothing new that has been posted so I'll just sign right back off. I miss the old mylot where everyone was active and there was new discussions every day and ones I cared to respond too. I also stay away from the one sentence discussions, I don't even know why they bother posting them.

Are you perhaps feeling depressed? If i feel down or have a pressing problem there is no way I feel the desire to get into any discussions. They all seem tedious compared with my problems! When things are on the up I have lots of ideas from all over the place and even inspired by Mylot discussions.
As you have more than one daughter why not ring her up and tell her how you feel. She might be sympathetic and give some good advice to her older sister which will bring healing into the situation.

It is really hard to join a discussion that is not arousing your interest and it is really hard to respond to any discussion if your mind is occupied by some thinking. Well, being a month here... I think I felt what your are feeling right now. Sometimes, we can't cope to any discussion for some reasons...

hi ctryjhnny I think you are truly upset with your life right now and its makes all discussions seem like crap as I have been finding and responding to some discussions plus responding to mine that has 33 responses to it now. finally got all caught up. It is going to storm here as the clouds are getting really black and wind clouds are building up now.I hope your daughter realizes its almost Christmas and makes up with you and lets you see your granddaughter too. hugs

Hi Ctryhnny. I am so sorry you can't find a discussion to respond to. I find it hard sometimes to find something that just plain don't have a single thing I can say to a discussio. But thank God it don't happen that much. But when it does I go and play a game. Sometimes this makes me think of something I might be able to make a discussion about. Sometimes it works sometimes it just has to wait till I have the time to spend on here. Like right now my husband is cooking dinner and I have a few minutes to spend on here. After he gets things started we will spend an hour or two playing a game then off to watch TV and maybe I will hear something that will make me think of something worthy of starting a discussion. Good luck!

I agree with you. There are even times that I already typed something but I don't post my comments thinking that it's not useful enough for the discussion. And, there are lots of discussion in my interest that I cannot relate with. But it's okay, it's just pretty normal. There are many things that we can do on the internet when we get tired of commenting, anyway.:)

Yeah sometimes but most of the time when I log in to mylot there are lots of good discussions already. I open first discussions started by friends, but I can't respond to everything because there are friend's discussions that I can't relate or know nothing about. When I'm done there I go to new discussions. If there aren't much I check my own discussions and make comments to those who responded.

Same here. There are hours here where I can't respond to anything. I noticed that good discussions are usually at night in this country. I don't want to respond to just any discussion just to earn few cents. So I usually scan the today's top than new ones.
