Well, after spending four days with my lovely Mylot friend, Gabs, I will be starting my journey home in approximately seven and a half hours time. I've had a great time here and lots of laughs, and a couple of mishaps. lol. But then, what would it have been like minus these? I also met Sheila, another very nice Mylotter and a very hospitable, kind person. But, watch out when these two get together!!! It gets a bit crazy. lol. Seriously though, I've been with Mylot for five, almost six months, and during my time here, I've encountered and made friends with some really special people. We've had our laughs along he way and thoroughly enjoyed the banter! Thank you Gabs for being such a great host... you too Sheila for your hospitality and the chats we had. Also your fella for the help, and last, but not least, Mylot for bringing us all together, and without whom, our paths probably would never have crossed. Whilst I'm here... all you other guys who have helped, encouraged and supported me... thank you, and here's to Mylot! Cheers!

Hey thanks, Darkwing! I too have made many nice friends on mylot, including you, and really enjoy having banters and intellectually stimulating discussions out here on mylot. Initially, I thought that this place was not such a nice one after all, as I saw many, many meaningless articles posted by people, just for the sake of posting them, but over time, I made friends with a lot of like-minded friends and discovered the art of finding interesting discussions to take part in. It's been nice out here and I look forward to making more friends and more enriching experiences out here. Thanks and God bless!

Awwww, thank you Vanilla. I know what you mean about the meaningless discussions though... I sometimes get so fed up with looking for a topic to get my teeth into, only to end up wading through two or three pages of waffle first, but on the whole, friends and witty people make this site. I hope we all have a long and happy relationship here, in Mylot. I've had a lot of fun in the six months I've been here. Thank you for your response and Brightest Blessings, my friend.

Yes, I saw you had tears in your eyes. I didn't need you to tell me; a right pair we must have looked. ha ha ha Thank you for that offer, Gabs... I WILL be back at some stage, but can't say when just yet. I really enjoyed meeting you and the laughs we had, especially with "that" cake. lol. That's all I'm saying because I don't want a beating next time. he he he I'm gonna miss the little fella, and who's going to wake me up in the morning with a sudden leap on my bed and such a big kiss? :-) Thank you so much for this week, my dear friend. I really enjoyed the break. Love and hugs. x

So when do we hear the story of "that" cake? My mind goes wild with imagination at what could happen when Gabs and a cake get together - and if Gissi had a hand in it - or worse still, a paw - well ... ...

You know, Darkwing, up until a few months ago, I would have decried any thought that genuine friendships could be made over the net. I have been proven wrong. This was not just because you and Gabs had a great time together because even before that I found genuine friendship with people I would never have expected to befriend. First of all, there was Steve. We are complete opposites in the most important thing in my life, and yet I believe there is a genuine friendship. I miss him. You and I disagree in the same area, and yet we can relate to each other in many other ways and respect each other. And Gabs! Who could be more lovable and more loved than Gabs!? Then there is my new "brother" fjaril and "sister" elp, and there are so many others too. How I would love to sit and have a good Bible study with Imadriscoll and Perry! So Darkwing, I would join you in thanking myLot for bringing together a mixed bunch who would never have crossed paths in real life, but who can enjoy a genuine friendship. I'm still hoping that one day we'll have that garden party - and maybe we'll even have guests from Sweden and Canada and USA and more from Australia and from other places too - and if it is before mid next year, even from Azerbaijan.

I agree your thoughts all the way here, Cloud. Steve will be sorely missed, as he was the sort of guy than anybody could befriend, despite differences in his beliefs, etc. He is genuine and knowledgable, (except where it comes to oak) ha ha ha. He was witty, old fashioned in his ways and had a great command for the English language, old and new, making him a very interesting body. The area we differ in Cloud, isn't so different, as I have learnt, thanks to you. You've taught me one or two things, in discussion, that I didn't even think about before and I have come to realise that in certain areas of life, we believe a quite similar theory. However, that aside, we have the maturity and understanding to not judge each other's beliefs... we found other, like interests and became friends, which as far as I'm concerned, was one of the best moments of my life... yes, I appreciated you putting me on the rack in argument, and was surprised at how you managed to get me to talk about things that I had held so close. :-) I think that, in a way, gave me the confidence to share my beliefs, and respect for you, not even considering all the interesting life history we can relate to. As for Gabs... she radiates love and light wherever she goes and is such a lovely person that she can't fail in receiving all she gives back, in abundance. She's bubbly, a good conversationalist, laughs off the bad moments and everybody she meets, adores her. There are several others whose paths have crossed mine, as with you... they will always have a place in my heart, and it's all thanks to Mylot. Now, the Garden Party... I have two friends coming over from Canada next year, and possibly a third female from Ottawa, with my Sis from Washington State. It's just a matter of being able to get them all together to arrive at a similar time... shall we have a go at this, Cloud? We're going to have to have this "Garden" Party in Hyde Park at this rate. ha ha ha ha Thank you for such a lovely response, Cloud and Brightest Blessings.

Indeed mylot can be an enriching experience, and now you can vouch for it. I went through your post about the comedy of errors, with the birds in the bathroom and the dog and could barely keep myself from rolling off my chair, laughing! It was a nice account, and must have been a really hilarious experience. I'm sure you had tons of experiences, some of them private, some of them stuff that you could share with other friends. Mylot is a great place and I would love to meet some of my friends too, if the opportunity presents itself. Have a pleasant and safe journey back and God bless!

It was funny at the time too, Vanilla... believe. I just sat and observed and stored stuff in my head for later recording. :-) That was a great day, amongst four of them. I love to meet my online friends, and Gabs was great. She's just as she appears on here... no frills, no pretences, just a whole lot of giving and caring. Thank you for your response Vanilla, and do try to meet some of your friends. Brightest Blessings.

Thank you, Airnavigator. I am home, safe and sound once again, and would like to say that I have not just made good friends on Mylot, but some very special friends. These were but two of them... despite their problems, they can laugh through the tears and cheer the people around them. Thank you for your response and brightest blessings. I hope you will make some good friends here too. :-)

Oh Darkwing, how lovely that you met up with a couple of your myLot friends! How great that must have been! Were they like you imagined them to be in real life I wonder! LOL

That's such a nice story, Darkwing. Thank you for sharing that! It thrills me to know that such good friendships can be, and are, made through myLot. I'm relatively new here, so I'm still getting to know everyone, but I'm looking forward to developing a few close friends that I can, hopefully, meet in real life. By the way, I love your avatar. Where is that from?
