When you don't have anything to say here at myLot...

...at least say it in as many words as you can.
When you don't have a discussion subject, then make not having a subject be your discussion.
Tell us how you spent hours thinking...how you tried reading tea leaves and the entrails of chickens...how you questioned your significant other about everything they had done lately...
Tell us about opening the encyclopedia or dictionary to random pages, or scanned the news on the Internet or the TV...
Tell us how you were so desperate that you decided to rob the corner gas station/grocery store to have something to write about, but were 5 minutes too late and someone else had beat you to it.
Hell, lie to us...but tell us something other than "I can't think of anything to say".
Or don't.
After all, you can do it your way...I'm just offering some suggestions...

I can normally come up with 'something' even if I am not really saying anything

I have been so blooming busy lately I have had little time to write here, and when I do, I have been writing about what I've been busy with !

I would not comment on a 2 line discussion unless it was an awesome poem.

@thesids The old mylot also had those people who just wanted money. As this is not the place, soon they went elsewhere. Besides, some people get tired reading too long posts. I don´t like too short ones

I agree. I´d rather ask mylotters if they were sure that the Earth was round (as I wrote yesterday) than to say that I had earned 22 cents and something. It hadn´t occurred to me to post about the time I hung around with Bonnie and Clyde and robbed some Banks

I've got a half of a set of early 60's Encyclopedia Britannica or something like that in one of the rooms I think

You just described the post I just put up. My brain has turned to mush but I wanted to be here for at least a bit. You cannot earn if you do not play.

Very true. You have to have some sort of presence on the site to receive any interaction most times

Well for starters, I would like to say that yeah I found time to be on here ! But my day went well, just when I thought the one job that I had interviewed for would never call me back, lo and behold, I got a call back with a job offer! I was so happy and still am happy. It is late here where I live and I should really be going to bed, but too excited too sleep! Finally, after 7 months of being unemployed, I am finally working again.

Yes I would never ever have nothing to say. Except in sleep and even then I might still chatter.

Thank you for the suggestions, I like the robbery scenario, . Personally if I don't have something to say then I just look for discussions to respond too. If you read enough discussions you will find something to start if your wanting to start one.

The robbery scenario is a last-ditch effort, but it could be interesting

Bro...I may be unique...but mind always works on music and ...when I wash clothes, or cook, or even while brushing...some song or the other is going on...yeah local music mostly but it is like that is there to fill the vacuum. Kids are my other weakness. I told you too much attachment is playing havoc with me...so I am trying to disconnect now...but three hours invariably go with those babies...lol

Just from curiosity, do you know we have smilies and don't have to use the keyboard ones? I realize you may just think they are simpler to use, but I have seen a lot of people that don't know.
