hi mylotters I just did a response and was evidently half asleep as I did it because my first line had a string of one letter.lol
I am just wondering if any of mylotter friends have done the same thing or something similar, and if you managed to hit the start discussion key before fully editing your response? I feel really
embarrassed to see this weird response with that stupid line of one letter, and wondered how I managed to miss that and hit start discussion without even editing it? dumb. I know.
[question posted by Hatley]
responses and comments:
Actually I haven't yet But when I do, i won't continue typing, I would just go to bed and take a nap. It's not like typing on Mylot is life [insaneduck9]
insaneduck9 yes you are so right, I think I am addicted to mylot. lol. [Hatley]
Uh Oh Hatley..looks like its time to shut off the computer and take a nap or go to sleep for the night! I've never done that but give me time i'm almost 57 next month so i'm coming up not far from you..LOL [Rosekitty]
hi rosekitty I found out why I was so sleepy, bad me I ate out when I was out to get my shingles prescription. I am a diabetic and I foolishly ate some onion rings, zingo my blood sugar read 210,much too high so had to take some diabetic med to lower it.not sleepy any more. lol. bad me. [Hatley]
Well I may not have been half asleep while typing a response here but I've had my share of weird typos or silly mistakes that make me laugh out loud when I catch them AFTER I've posted the response..for instance my famous cherry discussion where I posed the question, did you know that cherries are good for goat? I meant of course gout...never going to live that down--I still get kidded for thatrolleyes [pyewacket]
hi pyewacket yes I remember the gout and the goat but I have learned through reading a lot of discussions to read between the lines and I filled in gout in my mind.lol I do wonder if cherries are good for goats. lol again. [Hatley]
I haven't fall to sleep while on the computer, but I was very tired and won't get off of my computer, because I want to answer more discussions. I want to reach a certain number. [notlistening2]
hi notlistening2 I am the same way I keepon going as I want to reach the goal I had set for myself. [Hatley]
LOL! I have gotten tired when on the computer late at night and forgot what I was going to type. Also, I have kind of nodded off before but never left a message like that before. That is why I wish we could edit our posts after they have been put up. But oh well, we are only human! [schulzie]
schulzie thats also what I wish as no matter how careful you edit you can still miss something and its usually not conducive to being well understood unless someone guesses at the right word. then I will leave a comment correcting my error. [Hatley]
Yes I have done it and I actually posted the post with a whole string of being typed while I was asleep and while there were lots of word there it shows that I was actually typing while thinking something different while I was sleeping and somehow I totally missed it when I posted it, and what makes it worse is after I read it I couldn't even see the horrendous mistakes until the next day...its bad at times. You aren't alone trust me.... And whats worse is when I shut my computer after this happens and I can't sleep wehn I go to go to bed. Mooch [oneandonemakesix]
hi mooch I have done the same thing and it looked logical and then the next day I see my glaring errors. I think that 'happens when our brains get on overload and we are so tired'we cannot think straight. I am glad I am not alone in this. I also have a lot of trouble sleeping at times. I tend to be a worrier, my hubby used to call me a worrywort. now my son does the same thing, he says did worrying about that help in any way, and if I say no, then he says well then just shut your mind to it and go to sleep.well sometimes that works and sometimes it doesnt. [Hatley]
lol, that is funny. rasp I haven't fallen asleep while writing a response on mylot because but i have almost fallen asleep while talking to one of my friends on aim and while surfing the internet. when I first got my computer though, i used to always fell asleep at it it was bad... i was really addicted to it i guess! my parent's started to get on to me about it and so i eventually stopped.. they would come in my room and i would be hanging off my chair asleep or have my face smashed into the keyboard lol abd u an tired right now actually but it is too a little too early for bed yawn [sameroad]
hi sameroad, my son used to fall asleep at his computer and one night I came out he was snoring and slobbering onto his key board. I woke him and suggesed he go to bed lol [Hatley]
I have fallen asleep on the computer while responding but never hit the send button.. That is really funny.. I do a lot of stuff in my sleep as I have so much to get done before bedtime, I try and try to stay awake, but keep falling asleep.. I tried over and over the other night to finish the last 2 pages in a book that I was reading and kept falling asleep as soon as I read a word or two, I would try to make myself stay awake and read one more word before going to sleep again.. I finally put the book up and went to bed like someone who had a bit of sense.. Have a great evening and get some rest.. [DonnaLawson]
hi DonnaLawson I have done that too while reading and what irks me is I drop the book on the floor and that wakes me up.so then I decide I had better listen to my body and turn out the light. lol. [Hatley]
you need to get some sleep. lol. well it never happened to me yet. but my girlfriend sometimes do fall asleep when shes answering or posting a discussion. when i see her doing that i will force her to sleep. [neilchua]
you would do me a favor if you tell her that. lol. [neilchua]
I know I have fallen asleep here at the computer quite a few times, and probably would have posted something that made no sense if I accidently would have hit the Post response key as well. I find it easy from time to time to fall asleep at the computer. Especially if I am really tired, or my blood sugar levels are not in check as well. [KrauseHome]
I am insulin diabetic and insulin dependant at that due to other issues. I get tired and fall asleep if I am too high, or go too low as well. [KrauseHome]
hi friend, it is really a so funny thing.Maybe you are so tired to respond.why not go to a have a short rest or go to sleep if it is in night.I think if you are full of energy, you will respond more a lot. As for me, i never have been asleep at computer,If i feel tired, i will go to have a rest.and i always go to sleep earlier in night.It will make us have a good energy in tomorrow and, we can keep a good health indeed.lol Good luck to you [successlog]
hi successlog I found out why I was so sleepy, my blood sugar level was 210 which is too too high so took some micronase to bring it down and now I am not sleepy. its just 8 oclock so much too early for me to go to bed.you are right I need to go to bed earlier and regain some energy. [Hatley]
Hatley , This has happened to me many times on the lot . I spend a few late nights here , and sometimes I will just stare at the same thing and keep reading it . There have been time it has taken me 20 mins to make one post . Sometimes , I will just close my eyes and yawn , and finally get my bum in bedsleep after much time has passed . [metschica25]
hi metschica25 glad I am not alone in this. I go through the same thing sometimes late at night, take forever just to make one post. then my son says you are falling asleep so I drag myself of to bed then. [Hatley]
happywell i guess no ..not ever since when ever i feel it(sleepy) i will stop typing and go to bed immediately..lol [vanities]
hi vanities you have better sense than I do or else I am a bit too stubborn for my own good, Ikeepthinking I can make myquota when I really should be going to bed. lol [Hatley]
I couldn't help but giggle when I read this discussion. It's not something I've ever done, but I couldn't help but think "Boy, I'd like to see that response" LOL! As I say, I've never done this before but there have been times where I've almost nodded off at the keyboard and managed to rouse myself just enough to get myself off to bed. I tend to not go to bed till very late anyway, and so some nights, I'm more tired than others. That's when the mistakes start creeping in for me. [angelwhispers30]
angelwhispers hi my response looked reallyweird with this one line of ks running across it. I usually go to bed late anyway but I was desperately trying to make my quota and not close to doing it.finally I did shut off my computer and go to bed then I was wide awake.you can't win. lol. [Hatley]
It is okay. It haooens to all of us sooner or later. I work alot of hours seven days a week. I work nights too and I get so tired and sleepy while working. I work with alot of sites online daily plus I come to Mylot and type. After doing that for a while, I get very tired and mess up also. We are all only human. [stephcjh]
stephcjh glad I am not alone. I was on the computer all day too and was getting really tired and thats when one makes dumb errors. [Hatley]
I haven't quite done that, Hatley, but I have noticed a massive amount of typos in my post (just where is the spell checker I keep being told that myLot has?)just seconds after I have hit post. After I have finished screaming "nooooo" at myself, I have decided it is time to turn off the computer and get some sleep. [Piscesmoon]
hi Piscesmoon I have done that too and wished I could go back and undo all my typos.people will think i dont know 'how to spell. its time to quit when one is sleepy and the errors just dont stop. [Hatley]
Oh Hatley I don't fall asleep at the computer but I do overstay my time here at times and when beginning to flag like that make the silliest of typos too. My worst one have been in the Headers of discussions I have started and even though I scan for mistakes don't see them til they are there for the whole myLot world to see LOL. I know it is time to go to bed then. Ellie :D [ellie333]
hi ellie333 its so irking when one has already hit post comment and you see errors you missed.AndI wonder what other mylotter think of all these errors. got to know when to quit. [Hatley]
I have done that a few times, just trying to get my target for the night or to catch up and hit my earning target, Is so hard sometimes, makes it harder when you fall asleep a few times and mess the target payout by a few cents, HICCUP/ [hiccup]
hi hiccup I was also trying to reach the quota I had set 'for myself and was six responses shy. then I feel asleep'and really messed up as I somehow hit post comment without having really edited the response. lol. [Hatley]
No, i do not fall asleep while posting. actually i do not post much each day. so there is no point of falling asleep as such. but if anyone post much, its likely you would fall asleep. [subha12]
subha hi thats my trouble I am on here much too long and get tire in the late evening then start making errors. [Hatley]
Hi Patsie, Sure I have fallen asleep several times in the past. When I was really tired. You know I am tired when I can fall asleep playing games. rasp But so far, I don't think I have fallen asleep while myLotting yet. yawn [lordwarwizard]
hi lordwarwizard glad I am not the only one. it must be kind of funny when you fall asleep playing games. [Hatley]
Lol yes I have done that before but I noticed before I pressed respond lol so no one saw what rubbish I wrote Don't worry about it lol can't be as bad as what I saw in one of my responses lol I am still waiting for someone to translate it [gabs8513]
hi gabs glad I am not the only one, glad you do notice efore you hit respond otherwise one cannot undo the mess one made. lol. [Hatley]
you must have been very tired!! lol... I haven't yet done this so far. But its quite possible that I might do it... Happy mylotting. [mimpi1911]
hi mimpi1911 I was really tired but also my blood sugar was way too high so took some diabetic med. and soon I was awake again. lol. [Hatley]
I think you needed to take some sleep hatley, falling asleep in front of the computer shows how tired and sleepy you are lol I've never really done that before, and I hope I won't, because when I feel like I'm too sleepy, I should just go to bed and continue next time. Happy mylotting and have a nice day! [ucancallmedissy]
ucancallmedissy hi yes I should quit when I feel that way but I am so stubborn and want to finish my quota. [Hatley]
Dear Hatley, I think it's time for a holiday :-) Or at the very least try to get out more. That is pretty bad, when you start to write a string of one letter words. Just imagine how the person feels at the other end of the line. I have also noticed how many people are putting in the lols and the emoticons to get their earnings up, but it shows up very quickly, if the people are really not interested in the conversation. All the best from Germany and good morning. UMart [umart13]
Hello Hatley,I had to laugh when I read your response. Images of you being afraid to open your mail - It sounds like one of those phases in my life when I am afraid to open my mail box, simply for fear of a massive bill or a letter from a lawyer. I hope you weren't sending out your one letter messages to an legal people :-). Anyway get yourself off fishing or into the sun and recharge yor batteries. All the best from Germany. UMart [umart13]
hi there i have done this myself a few times but i usually notice it when i go to make a drink & have some sugar & come back & read thru it again. i to am a diabetic so know how you feel. i hate it when i do it as i have to re-type / edit it again. latas lamb101 xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoangrythumbdownyawn [lamb101]
hi lamb101 yes I just hate it so when my blood sugar is high as I cannot after all these years seem to know without checking on mymeter. after I took some glyburide I was awake again then I had low blood sugar. cannot win lol. [Hatley]
Oh I think you need a good rest as your body is asking you to do.lol That may also be a sign that you need to relax and refresh your mind. Mylot is not going anywhere and when you have regained your strength I am pretty well sure that it will still be here for you waiting for your posts. [rsa101]
hi rsa101 you are so right. mylot will still be here if I take a break or even quit for the night. I am too stubborn for my own good. [Hatley]
hahah that is so funny.. You addict lool Well it gets bad when you start falling asleep at keyboard hehe. I never done that here but i seen this in msn, id get a string of strange letters and just knew other person was asleep on the keyboard haha.. but he wouldn't admit to it lool I bet when you was at my stage here you would read all your words maybe 2 times, double checking for mistakes and spelling before clicking the send,. but now its type and send without bothering to go back on it, since you done soooo many discussions/responses/comments haha [mandykaren]
mandykaren it wasso funny and I couldnt do a thing about it either. yes I think I have grown more careless since I got to where I am now. I used to be super careful. lol. [Hatley]
I think you should take a good rest,lol. Normally I will make sure I am totally awake when I am posting discussions and responses,because everyone is reading what we had posted. Have a good rest!! winks. [yenwie84]
yenwie84 hi yes I did need a really good rest, as you are so right everyone is going to read what we post. [Hatley]
Well! I dont fall asleep in the middle of typing any response...ha ha..lol... Maybe at late night... when im writing a response.. i fell very sleepy.....yawn. and quit writing that response and go to bed.. but never fell asleep..... Ya rite... just imagine someone starting a discussion... and just able to type one letter and hit the sumbit button.. when asleep...lol... [venkygec]
hi venkygec it was so shocking to me thatI had typed and actually hit the post comment key while half asleep. and of course there was no way I could edit it after that. [Hatley]
No, I can't say that I have. I try to go to bed or at least put my computer down before I fall asleep. You must understand that if you are that tired, it is time to call it quits. MyLot is a past time, it is not life itself. If you do not answer questions, the world will still turn and life will still go on. Now I want you go back to bed and get some more sleep you are obviously sleep deprived. [Debs_place]
hi debs place yes you are so right, one should not get so hung up on what she is doing that shedoesnt know enough to go to bed. mylot will be there another day. lol [Hatley]
Just a while ago, one of my friends replied to my response in the discussion that it was intended or another discussion and I was so ashamed! I know I was so sleepy when i responded to that! [everlasting]
hi everlasting its sort of funny what we can do when we are so sleepy. [Hatley]
LOL! that is funny Hatley! But, for sure you are tired that time...I have experienced typing for a response and suddenly, I felt sleepy, since this place for me is not convenient to sleep...I am tall for this deck..LOL! I will just transfer in a couch or in our bed..But, I didn't try to post it when it's not yet finished...SO far! LOL! ANyway, I know you can't edit that but you can just send additional response..LOL! ENjoy! [checapricorn]
hi checapricorn I was sosleepy but I found out my blood sugar was really high.as soon as I took some diabetic medication Igot wide awake again. [Hatley]
Oh good, Hatley. I'm glad I'm not the only person that that happens to.blush I have sat in front of this computer and dozed off many times. When I wake up I would have a line of a single letter going across the typing screen. A few times, it messed things up so I had to get out of the program or website and just start all over again. lol There have been a few times, too, that I would wake up and my chin is down on my chest.doh Man, it's hard to lift my head up when it hurts from being stretched like that. [bluerubymoon53]
hibluerubymoon glad I am not the one one.lol sometimes my face hits the keyboard and boy does that wake me up.ouch. [Hatley]
Hi friend thanks for sharing, I think you were totally tired. It happens if you work nonstop and your body needs rest. I usually don't work continuously, watch tv, close eyes occassionly, cheers friend. [wordmax]
hi wordmax I know I should take breaks,but I get so gung ho on what I am doind I just keep going. lol [Hatley]
i think instead of waiting people give response, i rather spend time reading others and give response. Go around the discussion posted, get to know what on ppl mind today...Comment given might help he/she think in another way... always see the discussion is zero can make my day so bored.... [cherrytcy86]
hi cherrytcy86 yes when one gets no responses thatis not fun.. [Hatley]
Hmmmm, I have fallen asleep at my computer but, never while trying to respond to a post. I just wake up to my screen saver and wonder how and why it came on while I was still active on line, only to look at the clock and realize that I have not been active for at least a half hour. [thebohemianheart]
The really sad part of it is, I don't get up and go to bed, I go back to what I was doing for an hour or so then, head for bed. [thebohemianheart]
Hey, you sure were very tired. Though this has never happened with me, but there are times when I feel very drowsy as I sit responding to Mylot at late hours and am very tired on some days than the others. Hope I am not the one getting the one-lined reply next! [rajeshfgh]
rajeshfgh hi I found out it was not from lack of sleep but from my blood sugar being so high I took some diabetic med. and I woke up real soon. lol [Hatley]
Hi friend, When i joined in mylot for the first time,i slept thrice while writing a response.I used to work a lot during nights in order to make friendship with mylotters.Once i haven't stopped my laptop and fell asleep,once i posted the discussion without my notice writing "hi".Once you won't believe i have written "good night" in one of the discussion without knowing what i am doing at the time of sleep.These are so of my rememberable events which i never forget with mylot...... Have a nice day. [sudhajosyula50]
Its okay friend, Have a nice day. [sudhajosyula50]
I have npt fall asleep when I am using my laptop. But,in my opinion,mylot is a good sleep pill if you are tired and can´t sleep [Lucky_strike]
If I go to bed just before midnight,I sleep whole the night. But just now I am 1/2 dead after been working 16 hours,so I shall go to bed. Promise I will fall asleep at once [Lucky_strike]
One thing I have never done yet is fall asleep at the computer. I get so tired that I cannot see the screen clearly but then I just come off it for a while. Never mind Hatley it is just one of those things, but thanx for making me laugh again xx [gemini_rose]
Now I am laughing even more LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL see! When I first joined here I could manage 30 a time, and then I saw our Mooch and I would count how many she did and was stunned to see her doing roughly 100. I thought, I wonder if I could do that many so I tried and found that no, I could not but I could do about 90. Then someone called Hatley came to party and she was behind me in posting scores by quite a bit but then suddenly she caught me up and so I tried even harder to keep ahead, but you know I could not do it, so Hatley you were doing 100 a day for a long time because I could not keep up with you! They should name you "Hatley, Queen with the typing speed" But now I have totally lost it and some days I dont even get 25 dont know what went wrong, real life getting in the way probably HA HA , see ya guys xxx [gemini_rose]
I think that most hardcore computer users have started to drift off while typing something or playing a game. When you do that, it's time to go to bed. [wilsongoddard]
hi wilsongoddard right you are, you would think we would have enought sense to stop and go to bed.,must be our addiction to mylot. lol. [Hatley]
Actually, no i havent but once it was close. I was so tired that i was in verge of falling asleep. I was lucky that there was music in the background which was pretty loud so i couldnt fell asleep. :) By the way this is my 200th post everyone ^^ WOOOT :DD I can finally use the smileys after this post ;P [ertzinas]
hi ertzinas wow congratulations that is a milestone. I am fairly new here, about four months and everytime I hit a milestone'I an so happy. I am now trying for 10000 so maybe by the end of the week I will make it if I dont fall asleep again. lol [Hatley]
I have fallen asleep on this computer more times than I can tell you. It usually happens when I am waiting for something to go thru or upload...sometimes I am just thinking about what I want to say and I just doze off. I work late hours and don't get enough sleep so I can really relate to this happening. [sid556]
hi sid556 glad I am not the only one. I have mild insomnia and so I try to make myself sleepy by working longer but it has not helped much lol [Hatley]
i never have that experience even though i love to play mylot and give people response !! maybe i just play mylot one week only !! and i cannot too mmuch time because iam a student and need to study loh !1 [sabahking]
hi sabahking yes you have to put your studies first thats for sure,then you can play ,just so you dont study so long you fall asleep at it. lol [Hatley]
Hey dude, don't worry about it, its cool your just probably having so much fun happyhere at mylot that even though you are very sleepy you probably just can't stop writing and responding to discussions here. Don't worry i am sure even though i have not done that before, it probably happen to lot's of your fellow mylotters who were just having a good time and did not want to stop or just could not of slept and came on to mylot and then got caught up in all of the excitement. Anyway dude get a little sleep and then you can come back and enjoy your mylotting time here later. [ChrisH09]
hi chrisho9 yes I was having a lot of fun responding ]to some interesting discussions and also my blood sugar' was too high, that made me really sleepy. [Hatley]
Dear friend, I have not yet felt sleepy and if had any I would for that especially during the night and if in odd time I may wash my face if I have to do any other works. During Mylot participation I have never felt sleepy and I had been sleepy while I was surfing just to know new things I just felt sleepy and also did not hesitate to go to bed.lol [SHAMRACK]
hi shamrock good for you. one should know when it is time to quit mylotting and head for bed. [Hatley]
i did one time and it was too embarrassing ti see my discussion with weird thoughts on it because I am too sleepy but I want to continue posting. lol. The thing is that we can't edit it once we hit the post discussion button. It is really a good option to stop writing when we are sleepy. [Bebs08]
hi bebs08 right on. after we hit post comment we cannot change a thing. you are so right we should stop writing when we get that sleepy. [Hatley]
I've never fallen asleep in front of the computer. The reason is I sit at a desk in a lawn chair, not one of the comfy exec chairs others often use. * Posting discussion bloopers is another story. There is no edit feature on the posts. That means a whoopsie will stay put. [CraftyCorner]
LOL Hey Hatley believe me that you are not alone - almost all of us have done that at some point in our mylot life - I know have done more than my fair share of OOpsies! lol xxxx [mummymo]
well i have not slept on computer but yes sometimes i end up getting up to attend a cal and my son just come and presses some keys in between..but sometimes i do make some spelling errors..need to be more careful i guess.. [nupats]
Ha ha.. I'm embarassed to say this but this actually happen to me but the good thing is I didn't push the post response button. I woken up from fallen aslep at the top of my keybord and the response box has many rumbled letters. I ever I send it I may get in trouble. [lossforredwords]
Actually this happens to me in a few times already cause most of the time, I p[ost here late at night or too early in the morning. That is why sometimes, I couldn't help myself but to half sleep while posting comments. Haha. It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one who do this. lol [ajadlads]
hehe I've done this more than once Hatley!! It happens when we just can't leave mylot , even for sleep..lol...Lori [dumblnddzzy]
Yes, I have fallen asleep at the computer myLotting as well. That is just hilarious. I knew I was not the only one who did that. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!! happy Gotta get to bed now... yawnsleep [schulzie]
I have done this but not to the point of hitting the send button.. I am not that good in my sleep.. I can't type a few really weird "words" when I am dozing at the computer but I haven't got so good as to be able to hit the send key while asleep.. I usually wake up long enough to get to the bed, although I have had a few good "cat naps" at the desk while typing, lol.. [DonnaLawson]
