Why Do You "GATHER?"

I joined gather to get feedback on my poetry, but have made a lot of great friends. I talk to many of them in real life and plan to meet some of them in person.

I even forgot that reason. I put some of my best stuff on here, and got 3 comments. I slam Obama and get 144. It's much more fun to poke fun at the president, than to have my precious work ignored.

I'd read more of your posts, but I get very busy moderating three groups.

I like the adult converstation LOL my kids are great but they can drive you nuts after being home alone with them all of the time. The gifts are just an added plus.

Because I like Gather.

I'm not lonely.

I'm not poor.

I do enjoy the gift cards. I was a memember for two months before I ever discovered that we earned points and could get gift cards. Woo Hoo, nice bonus.

I do enjoy interacting with all the Gather members, even the ones who don't like me. LOL

I like Gather.

I like you, and that's all that matters.

Thanks, and you are correct, that's all that matters.

I enjoy the interaction with adults on Gather who have many interesting aspects of existences I enjoy learning about. It is fun to be able to converse with people from all over the United States and some from other countries and very interesting as well as informative about just little every day life things.

I have learned a little more about what Gather is all about in this past summer so now I enjoy seeking out more social events in my area to get photos, video and write reports about sharing my unique experiences. Perhaps many others have already gone to some of these places, but for me, the experiences are new. It has been fun to see what I can create about those experiences.

Of course I like getting paid for what I do here. For everyone who says they don't, please donate your points to a charitable cause, and don't accept the paypal or gift cards for your own use.

Amen!

he, he, he. Now if I could only learn to spell.... that should be "member"....LOL.

I love to write about what I know as it helps keep my skills up!

I have tons of wonderful, easy recipes that I've been sharing here on Gather. Also, I do tons of refunding/rebating and find all sorts of great, free offers that I am more than happy to share, as well as how I manage to get tons of free stuff.......a gold HP laptop computer, trip to Florida (all free but the food), free flat screen, digital t.v. for my kitchen, a $450 black Kitchan Aid mixer.....everything 100% free!
The gift cards/Paypal are great and do come in handy!

I've kept blogs for years. I like sharing my life, and getting comments on it. Reading about other peoples lives. Making friends.

I use gather for the chance to earn gift cards for doing what I've done every day for years anyway.

I meant to say "Kitchen Aid!" Sorry about the typo!

I do it out of pure boredom! lol! j/k

I like meeting people and learning new things. I enjoy when people have different opinions than I do, it spices up the conversation.

I'm lonely, poor and enjoy the giftcards. lol

Don't be lonely. I'm here. I hate for anyone to be lonely.

I am not lonely and I like the giftcards but I like the interaction more.

I think you're awesome. Evil, but awesome.

I gather to hear postitive stuff from postitve friends,,,,
if someone needs prayer or write great poetry, or something eciting in their lives, and have great family pictures or flowers, or neat stuff, then I am here for them, political garbage belong in it sesepool of poor material,,

I am not loney for I have great friend here, I dont need money will help yet not what I need it for, so even if gather stop the money pool I be here for all my friends

I happened upon Gather by accident, while doing something with a group I belong to that still is, of course political. I was looking for articles on something and typed in whatever it was and had to join Gather OR, something like that. I was doing some history and local dialect stuff.

The person who I was working with is an expert on a certain American dialect, which is no longer heard from much and I was just a participant.

Now, Gee since I will attempt to speak according to a different type, it's interesting, not always correct, my oponion.

I guess I'm getting poor, but sure can't depend on the gift cards I have gotten, I guess I'm bored, but being called inaccurate or stupid, got to me somewhat still does, I keep saying to myself WHAT?, when people tell me what I did.

YEP, LONELY,POOR AND GIFT CARDS, I did begin to like poetry much more than before of a differnt kind.

I also really like some of the photography.

That's awesome.

::)

I was invited here to earn money....when that went south, I drop in from time to time out of boredom and to touch base...I have to admit I am pretty lonely but gather doesn't fill the void..

I hate you to be lonely. Gather really fills a void. What time I have I love it here.

I just got here. You tell me

Hey Jake,
You and I are going to be great friends.

Because you're here, sort of

I like to get to know all kinds of people and hear the points of view of many different people. I like to read others articles and look at their pictures and I like to share some of my own too. I also enjoy getting and using the gift cards when I manage to earn any. I learn a lot on Gather and "see" many things through others eyes that I may never get to see in person.

Honest biggest reason I started was to advocate. Then I met some really nice people who developed into friendships. Part of me even enjoys the friendly debates. I am not talking about the hateful ones that you either agree or piss someone off. Yes I do enjoy the paypal and yes it has helped me through my humps.

my friends vastly outnumber my enemies!

I am here mostly for relaxation .... since I have a stressful job. I come on at night after a long day to read and view pics. I find that helps me to be in touch with the real world.

At first, it was for the gift cards. Now, it's about what further information I may pick up while encountering some fascinating people. There aren't many of them here on Gather and the ones I know thus far are my contacts.
They are all different. None of us are alike, nor do we see things the same. I like the variety. It cuts down on the cloned personality concept.

I really don't know why I joined Gather. Maybe it's because I could.

Now, that I'm here, I'd really like to change the attitude of those "people with pink vans" because they have a distorted and flawed point of view, but I don't know how. (So I'm leaving it up to you ... okay, just joking.)

I have a lot of friends here on gather. I like reading what is going on in their lives.. I also like the gift cards.

I started out here because of the Gather Romance contest they had going on..
I was too late for it though because my novel wasn't finished yet. And, I didn't get it revised in time...
But, I stayed because I truly do love writing. And, I came for the constructive criticism on the novels I've written.
I put up a few snippets of novels I've written.. Then, I began writing short stories.
And, since then, it's like a whole new world opened up.
I truly love writing new and different things each week.
I think I've found the calling I was looking for..
And, I have such good friends here now. That I wouldn't wish to be anywhere else.

I joined Gather after my stepmom told me about it...she told me about the gift cards too, but I found it was a good way to share pictures of my son with my family out of state. I liked the gift cards...with the new point system I will probably never see another one, but I like it here.
