First Day of Winter

# 71 Welcome to June – the transitional month from Fall to Winter down here… The weather has started to get accordingly cooler – never gets higher than low 20s Celcius (below 70F) and it gets to just a single digit Celcius (below 50F) at night time or early mornings for the week... As far as myLotting, I have another non-earning and trivial goal for this month. When I post this discussion, the number inside ( ) next to my username will turn to 21421. My goal is to add 1000 to that number in June. For some I’m sure it’s an easy task - I’ve seen very active members on here have a few hundred activities in just one day alone. But for me, 1000 activities in a month are above my average but reasonable enough goal for me to try to reach. So, good luck to me and to everyone else with whatever goals you have! Have a Happy and Healthy June!

It is summer here and therefore it is the time to become winter in your side. I don't have a big goal here. I am glad enough if I can reach the minimum payout

1000 activities in a month is really not a big goal... I've seen others do that in just a few days... I see you just crossed 80k yourself, I bet you won't need a whole month to bring that up to 81k...

@sishy7 In fact I have joined here for a very long time and this is why my number is so big

Do you ever get snow in winter? I've wondered about that. Well, if you keep commenting on all your responses you should reach your goal. I don't track stuff like that so I haven't a clue if how much I gain or how much money is in my pot, it's that nice surprise in mid month if I made payout.

You will earn if your responses on other lotters discussions get commented on @sishy7 or if you comment on responses others have written on other lotters discussions. That's what I usually do, I do not post very often but I do respond and comment on interesting (to me) discussions.

not where I am... but there is snow up on the mountains of the higher parts of Australia... Yeah, I'll probably do well on the days I'm starting a discussion in increasing my activity number, but some days I just read too much on here which does nothing to that number - I need to change that to reach my own goal.

@rebelann the problem with me and @sishy7 is we read and like more than even respond and comment in other people's posts.

the 1000 goal doesn't look reachable at this point... I can't be here too much, and it's really something that I need to act on to get there...

@much2say I've increased it by only 200 since and it's nearly half way to the month... I think I'll be happy if I can end the month at 22k - which means an addition of 600 this month instead of 1000. Yeah, that's more likely to happen since I'll be busy for the rest of June too...

it's high for me too... but 1000 sounds like a good round and big number to have as a goal so I'm just like, why not?

Of course it is the opposite here, this is the transitional month from Spring to Summer. I thought your transition was from Autumn to Winter, now I am confused.

@ridingbet yeah, the old mylot had a different system, the activity number could only go up by a maximum of 2 points each discussion, unlike now where it adds by 1 each time we post a discussion, a response, or a comment.

@sishy7 maybe you were not so very active here before? 2012, i signed up for bubblews. then when the site stopped in 2015, i was still there, dedicated and committed to that even if i have so many redemption unpaid.

I don't have all the seasons, so transitional times happen when I go on vacation. I can still remember that trip to Las Vegas last January didn't think I would ever get warm. It was cold and windy there. The bigger surprise here was all the rain.

Oh, for June I didn't make it to 1000, I think I ended up doing only around 600 activities. But I was closer to 1000 for July. Yet this month, I'm back to my slow pace again...

This month we will begin summer in the USA. It is always an interesting time for most here. Hope you enjoy your winter weather there @sishy7 You have an interesting goal and it seems like something I might try too. More fun than keeping my eyes on the $ as that is not really fun to me.

Yeah, my $ is too slow and it's not really something that I have a complete control of. but the activity number is totally under my control, it adds by one each time *I* post a discussion, a response, or a comment. you're very close to a big 10k milestone - would be interesting to set a goal of how long do you want to take to get there...

The 1000-posting goal is not only for discussions. The number increases by one when we post responses and comments too. So, it's actually not as many as it sounds.
