It's been an hour since the last new discussion was posted, ain't nobody got anything to say?
Or did I miss a bunch of spam while I was at the grocery store?
I posted this just to make sure the site was working right.
(Edit: I just checked the URL numbers, I guess no one had anything to say)

@JolietJake Gosh, only 266 discussions during 24 hours is very low.

I haven't done a discussion 'count' yet, but I bet it'll be a bit lower than normal
Edit - WAY low...266 in the past 24 hour period

The early bird catches the worm hey? I have been up for an hour. Got to sleep later today even though hubby was up at 5:30.
Have grocery shopping to do as well. Today and tomorrow will be the best days to hit the stores. The first is just around the corner and the stores will be mobbed at that time.
I will be buying Spam. Need a can for a pasta salad.

@JolietJake my mother made it quite a bit. Hubby had never had it until he tried the one my mother made. Now it is a summer staple at our table.

@ElusiveButterfly I wish my hubby would eat pasta salad. No such luck.

I came on at my usual time (around 2 AM Central) and I thought it was pretty slow, just checked some figures and the number of discussions for the past 24 hour period was down close to 100 less than normal

@Jlyn10 I'm really not sure...a lot of people got 'spooked' by all the places closing or suddenly not paying...it may take another year or two

It's Saturday morning. Some of us don't have a bossy black cat that strolls across our faces at 3:30 AM singing "let meowt" and sleep in.
And the spam hit at about midnight. Sorry you missed those exciting 27 seconds.

@JolietJake , seems like the whole world is taking a siesta again at my time online in anyway. Odd for this time of the month. You are online at 2am, that is usually when I finally fall asleep!

@bluesa My owner, Scar, has this penchant for going out at 2 AM, and since we have a law against cats roaming 'at large' that means he wakes me up to let him out on his lead.

I'm way ahead of most users in the USA since I am normally here at 2 AM Central time USA, but it looked like the whole world was taking a siesta

I always find it interesting when I'm active during the afternoon and early evening, and don't get many responses on comments and discussions. But then I'll wake up on the morning and have like a 100 notifications. I guess a lot of people stay up late at night to catch up on their myLotting.

@JolietJake I come across those types of days every now and then when it seems like online traffic is way off for some reason. Then I start wondering if I am missing something important going on in the world, like did WWIII just start, or did a giant asteroid slam into the earth? haha I don't watch the news and so I never really pay attention to what is going on in the world.

I see a lot of the international traffic because I keep odd hours (thanks to Scar) and yesterday was just a bit off

That is strange. I was on here during that empty hour so issues commenting. Maybe posts weren't going.

We are off busy doing our Saturday stuff. I need to say a few things I suppose. My bank is moving okay. Nothing spectacular, but I have not posted anything spectacular. I have looked around for spam but did not find it. It must not be the right time of day.

@JolietJake As cool as it is to be here, I think at times people experience a burn out. They have to take a breather after racing to hit the 5 buck mark at the end of the month. Or at 7am, people are still sleeping in
