What are your best and worst attributes on MyLot?

I try to be a good MyLotter. I especially enjoy long conversations that involve a bit of humor. @Maluse's comment (years ago) about "young whippersnappers giving me life advice" made me laugh out loud. So did @FourWalls's mention of "GoFundYourself." And of course there were the legendary conversations with @DaddyEvil and @Vandana7 about sharks and music. What am I best at? I try to respond to all comments on my posts. I don't like being "ghosted," so I try not to ghost others. What am I worst at? I sometimes get so involved in on-going conversations that I forget to search for others' latest posts. As an example,I have not visited @Just4Him's posts in several days. What are you "best at," and "worst at," on MyLot?

Hopefully making people laugh (apparently I’ve succeeded!) and sharing a good memory or two with a song.

@TheHorse — let’s not forget cheery and upbeat “Roland.”

I am worst at posting discussions, I hate to write, but I am good at interacting with people. I try to read all the discussions posted every day.

@TheHorse - I do not respond to all posts, but I have a look and I read those I judge more interesting. To be honest, I skip the posts of those who never interact. This is a "discussion site" not a "monologue site".

@TheHorse - I remember that JJ, when he was still active, one day posted saying that he cannot understand those who continue to comment to people who never respond. I agree with him, where is the interest to comment and do not interact?

I don't think I could ever respond to all posts in a given day. I am glad you are a good responder. I enjoy our conversations.

I’m great about teasing you over living in liberal USA. I’m bad about not cutting off a pariah.

@AmbiePam I accept it. People made mistakes. But I don't want to "accept" it long-term.

I guess I did that. :( Actually, it so happened that real life took charge and then gap became too long. Even now, I am actually asked by a set of folks to stop interacting. They feel I have people envying me. Evil eye and all that. If you would see me, you would be shocked....you would say this is not Vanny....vanny cannot be this illogical. The evil eyes affecting me, is affecting the whole group in our class action case. So they asked me to stop using social media till the outcome, and they want it positive. I am the target of whoever...god alone knows. Center of the storm. LOL. Considering that the case has taken over 30 years, I need to bow down to their wishes I felt. Sorry for failing to respond.

I try to find interesting subjects to share. Things that will perhaps start a nice prolonged conversation. I don't lead a very active life so i don't post as others do on here. I am worst at always getting others posts answered and i feel bad about that.

It is easier for me to respond to others posts than write my own. I respond to those where I can add value to the conversation.

Every day I do all my Notifications and all Discussions for the members that I'm following. I'm usually here 2 to 3 hours a day. I'm worst at MyLot when I'm MIA for a day; but I always catch up.

First, very nice photo! Best at? Probably not a lot! lol. Worst at? Not getting to other's posts often enough. Sometimes I get to replying to comments and making new discussions, but don't get to visiting other's.
