Have you set your totally arbitrary MyLot goal for June 2019

Where the heck has June gone? This month flew by for me, probably because it was punctuated by a couple of road trips. Being away has cut into my MyLot riches for June, so I'll set a somewhat conservative arbitrary goal for this month. There are five days left in June, including today, so I'll set a more "aggressive" secondary goal as well. Here's a secondary question: Do you have a favorite month of the year? In the Midwest, I think mine was May, as things were green and some trees were still budding. In California, it would be earlier, perhaps March, as the hills turn brown in April and May, and the rattlesnakes start waking up from their long Winter nap.

I wanted to reach $10 this month but that did not happen and won't happen, it's okay though. =)

Even this month I made a little more than I thought, tomorrow I will not be around a lot, but there are still 3 days to add a little more.

My favorite months are April and October. They are perfect months for camping around here. Warm enough for hiking during the day, cool enough for sleeping comfortably at night. As to my monthly goal, I feel lucky to have made payout as my activity level of late had been so slow.

@TheHorse Me to. Usually I keep the air conditioning on 68 degrees and I have a blanket on me. The colder the better as I am not suffering with my allergies then. I love a cold room and lots of blankets,.

Give a child a #7 iron, teach him how to use it and then take him to a golf course with a few balls. Explain that he should try to keep the ball on the fairway and out of the sandpits (which are NOT to be used for building sandcastles!) and he'll probably have the happiest of times seeing how far he can hit the ball and discovering new wonders wherever it lands. Doubtless, he'd be a little puzzled by the earnest people who try to land the ball in the hole where the flag is in the fewest number of strokes. That's something like the way I choose to enjoy myLot. I do, occasionally, look at the numbers next to the dollar sign, but only out of curiosity, really. I used to think that May and early June was my favourite time of the year but, these days, the weather has become so unpredictable that i am no longer sure. I begin to get very uncomfortable if the temperature rises above the mid twenties or falls below the upper teens (I used to know what that was in Fairy Night but now I only use Centipedes).

I can kind of convert Fairy Night into Centipedes (or the opossum) on the fly (you like it right around 70 F, as do I). Sometimes I actually use F = 9/5 C + 32 in my head, to try and keep from getting stupider with age. I tried your suggestion. The boys all used the 7 iron as a rifle and threw the balls at each other. The girls found a driver and called it "daddy golf club." The #7 iron became "mommy golf club," and the balls became "the babies." After about 15 minutes of this on the first tee, they kicked us off the course.

Our Northern Pacific rattlesnakes are pretty mellow. I've met a few. I talk to them gently, like the Indians (American Indians) do in Tony Hillerman novels. I've never been bitten.

I lost May and now June is flying by. You know I cannot keep up so I just write and write and write and hope that in some way it all comes together. I have made my goal again which is good what isn't is that usually when the payout comes I have about 2 or 3 left in my bank so the next payout can be made but it looks like this month was not the one for this.

I'd say December. It's Christmas time and everything is in lights. And it's my birthday. I am actually born on Christmas Eve. Though I don't celebrate Christmas it's still pretty cool to be born on a popular holiday. If I were to set goals here I'd be very disappointed when they are not reached. So don't set any. I do hope though to get to $5 in a single month. So far hasn't happened.

@TheHorse Don`t be rude, July is more that sweat. I would love to put you in a headlock after a hatd days work outside and have you beg me to bathe. Its my birth month, its the 4th. meaning bbq, parks and fireworks. Camping, fishing, boating and swimming. Riding slowly through town with the windows down and hearing the tires on the road, the sweet smell of summer in the air. Blueberry festival and outdoor concerts.
