Will you go a week or two without coming to mylot, and then come back for a while ? I have done it in the past, but was wondering if anyone else does too.. If so what are your reasons ? My reason was my daughter was going through a realy clingy phase and i couldnt let her down or not lay beside her while she napped! she is out of this now thank goodness, and i can do things while she naps and plays again! YAY!

welcome to mylot. you are doing fast. having had 53 points to your credit already. that is a good accomplishment on the first day. congratulations and may you keep on doing well and keeping plenty of posts each day. as for the moment, you will not be considering breaks because you will be gunning to reach the 500 points mark fast then off to the thousand mark. may you make it very soon to these marks. good luck in your stay here.

Maybe no breaks that long... see, I don't work as much on the computer during the weekends, so I don't have much time on those weekends to be on myLot. The weekends are usually my break from the computer in general, so I will try not to be on them at all if I can help it. That is usually the reason I am off myLot for a while. When I am at work, I have enough time to answer a good number of posts.

I dont use mylot much on the weekends either, my hubby is home from work, and he wants some time on the computer too, and we do other things together, like walks, shopping, movies, play with the baby. I try to spend as much time with him on the weekend as i can cause id ont see him more then a fwe hours a day through teh week.

I also take a break from here, that is, unless there are more interesting topics that are just screaming at me to reply. You know, sort of something that suits one's personality, history, or inner self. Such as this.

I do, but usually I take a 2-day break from mylot and it mostly would be around the weekends! It's basically because I need a break from my computer and I should do some other things, like catch up with friends, read a good book, read my magazines and stuff. I think I have really spent too much time in front of the computer *laughs* and that's why I am giving myself breaks over the weekends!

Yeah, I can't stand sitting on front of my computer screen more than 1 hour, So I usually take brake every 1 hour at least. It is harmful to our eyes to sit more than that. I usually sit for 5 hours on my lot but not in continuous fashion.

Usually I don't take a break from Mylot. I want to come to Mylot in my free time. I am just addicted to Mylot. If I don't post anything also I would come here and read some discussions from my interests and responses I get to my discussions. Becasue sometime I don't get much time to post and soemtime I don't just feel like posting anything. But I always like to spend my free time here. I would not be here for long in Mylot if I go for a vacation. In wekend sometime I don't come when we go for outing and don't get time to get online. Other then this I don't consider to take a break from Mylot.

when someone goes off for an important matter for weeks and gets busy there, then it is only normal that he/she will be off the hook in terms of mylotting. this will even be more pronounced if the place where the days are to be spent is devoid of computers and the internet.

Hi Sissygrl. You aren't the only one that takes breaks, lol. I've only been her for about 3 months but I've already taken two one week breaks. The first time was to visit with my grandmother for a week while she was very ill. The second time, at the beginning of last month, hubby and I went on vacation for our 23rd anniversary. It's always fun coming back though. When you're not on mylot, do you think of lots of discussions you could start when you get back? ;)

LOL, you wouldn't believe all the scraps of paper that I jot notes down on. It doesn't take much of a note to be a good reminder. Sometimes even a grocery store receipt will work in a pinch, lol. I have gotten better at keeping a small pad of paper in my purse for just such occasions. ;)

Honestly I think Mylot has been one of the most addictive sites I have been a part of. I don't think I have missed a day yet. I know I will for about a week in June though because my parents are coming down from Arizona. It will be my daughters first birthday during their visit and I only get to see them once a year, so mylot will have to wait then. Other then that I don't see any other time anywhere in sight lol. How sad is that, man this site is addictive!

I have been a member for about a month and I was on here everyday until a few days ago. My daughter has cerebral palsy and epilepsy,she has had a ton of appointments lately and I have barely been on here. I think I'm too addicted to not be on here much.

I've not done it yet, but I'm sure my time is coming soon. I am beginning classes tonight to get my real estate license and I won't have as much time to work on Mylot. Either that or I'm going to have to squeeze it in very early in the morning as I'll be going at night and work part-time during the day. I would have to say that I would definitely miss it if I had to take a break.

Yes I do. Sometimes because I am annoyed, for instance when I gave an unpopular opinion in a discussion and my rating dropped two points. Some days I am too busy with other things. I try to respond to at least two discussions a day though, if the topic interests me.

lol. I usually respond to more then i make.. It'd hard to think of new stuff that people haven't already made discussions on!

I didn't used too, but now I have no problem for a few days. It isn't like it used to be 7 months ago. No fun, too many rules.

I do go in spurts a bit. While I've never taken a week or two off, I've taken close to a week when we went out to our summer cottage last summer. I suppose I'll be taking a big break if and when I go to Hong Kong too, LOL. I do have days that I go without really checking it but for the most part there's always some point in the 24 hour period that I check things out, even if just to answer others' discussions.

I have taken a couple of days off here and there, but the longest break just occured, when I went on vacation to PA. I was offline for over a week and all I wanted to do when I got home was check on myspace for new discussions. LOL. It is very addictive!

i leave mylot just for a few days.it was because i did not have time to do responses.besides i cannot find the topic related to my discussions that time.i was getting bored with silly discussions that time.no offense but people was asking simple questions which most of us knew about it. so that time i just upload images everyday.it is better than get nothing at all.but now i am active on mylot again.once i get active again i would do 10 responses and 20 images everyday.because i skipped responses almost over a week so i did not reach the payout for april. but for may im gonna be extra active to reach the payout $20 which is equals as 2 months payout.hopefully i would reach my target.do wish me best of luck

Good luck! lol i have my payout set higher, because with paypal you can' only do something like 6 pays a year with the free account. plus i can't really do much with 10$ so i'm going to try to be really active and patient and get a nice big payout :) Wouldnt that be nice ;)
