Well with teary eyes it seems I have lost a friend today. Actually about 270 friends. All day today I have only recieved 3 email notifications about friends responding to discussions or starting discussions. I am hopint this is a glitch of myLots at my end. I would hate to lose this many friends etc here. Is anyone else experiencing the deaths of friends today?
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !~!~

I don't think so, I have been getting notifications. I did not see any of your discussions though. Let me find one, I will answer it and test the system for you.

Yes, I have seen other discussions about it. I don't pay attention to my notifications so I can't comment on what I am experiencing myself, but I do know you are not alone. Your friends are likely alive and well but lost in glitchland.

Good grief! Don't give me a heart attack like that again! Here I am getting ready to tear up and grabbing the tissues....and then I read the rest of your post! (I know, I know...ya got me! LOL). I noticed it too hon. So don't feel like you're the only one. Hopefully it's only "mental hiccups" that's keeping it quiet around here, and not deaths. LOL

do you really need notifications, by the way?
I think you can easily browse discussions my friends started and respond to them. this is what I do all the time

Yes I do as a matter of fact. It's the way I've done mylot
since starting. With this many friends I don't want to go
through their pages searching. So I just don't respond and
don't earn no cash today then I guess.

I had over 100 email notifications, so I don't think I have lost any friends. I know one of my very close friends was banned or something, so that is making me a sad little monkey. She was very nice, always played by the rules and never posted anything that could be considered against the rules. I just don't get it. So I am mourning a friend here in Mylot. :(

Look on the bright side. Maybe they're just busier than usual since 1 it's towards the beginning of the month, and 2 we just had a holiday. I'm sure things will pick back up for ya. Good luck to ya!

Grandpa Bob, I had another friend post that she was only getting one or two e mails at a time, instead of twenty to thirty. I do not know if everyone has abandoned ship or if there is a glitch, because it is close to payout. I have a friend or two who post like 20 to 40 discussions between them daily, and I am getting my regular quotient from them. I may be down a little, I do not know, but not anything major. I hope that it is not really deaths of friends. I am still alive and kicking.

Well, you didn't miss getting notified of any of my discussions because I very seldom post one. Sorry about that. I have a very difficult time coming up with a good topic. I'm guessing its just a glitch. I have been getting the notify that someone responded to something I commented on. I just saw someone else post about the same problem. Hopefully they will get it fixed soon.

It's not just you, Grandpa Bob. Seems several of my friends have started discussions like yours. I'm guessing it's selective mylot glitches cause I'm getting lots of email notifications.

Grandpa Bob,
You know I try to find your discussions when I can. This is the first discussion that I've seen you start in a while. Maybe it's mylot's fault for not sending my emails that you've started something new.
I hope that I'm not on your deceased list. If I am, would you send me a copy of my obit? Do my eulogy. I bet it will be good! LOL! :)

Nope I haven't been starting many as of late. I've been bored and fearful of deletions. Hee hee. My emails weren't coming in from my friends list is what happened. Fixed now as my box is loaded today.

No one's dying, Grandpa Bob. Don't you curse me, alright? :P
I think it is just that no one's posting many discussions nowadays. And some have been.. er.. "removed". :(

Oh dear, it is really a bad idea to start a discussion like this. I was really upset to read the title and when I opened the post, I knew the truth.
Please do not start like this.

Sorry. It is one my sense of humor and two an eye catching
title to generate responses. It always works. Sorry again.

Funny, I started one discussion like this, I think it is affecting all of us here, I have been getting responses that people might be on vacation or away, but when you have over 200 friends you expect emails and when you don't get them, you think something has to be wrong. Have you written to myLot about it?? I have, in fact, just about everyday, I have yet to hear a response as to something being wrong.

Hiya, Actually this happens to me quite frequently.. About once a month or so I go a few days without any notifications whatsoever from mylot and then it usually sorts itself out and they come flooding back in. I don't usually worry about it although I must admit that it can be a little overwhelming having days worth of notifications to sort through.
Regards, Tanika.

i m having kinda same problem too..especially as i m already not much of a starter of discussions and now there are just so few notifications i have been getting lately.. it's all left me almost inactive on mylot!;) in my opinion this haven't got something to do with mylot glitches, perhaps just that my till now active friends have gotten out of words;) and a friend on my list literally left mylot saying he is tired of earning program here, bad for me as he was the one who filled up my mailbox everyday by starting about 2 dozens discussions in a day;)now i m going to turn on notifications of those friends whom i had set to an off, but i think perhaps they have already left mylot as they didn't seem very serious kinda members to me!!:) anyway Grandpa Bob, i think you should take up the job of filling my mailbox now i have been seeing only a few discussions from you too in recent weeks..are you ready to take up the job?lol

Oh well...I was admitted for about 4 days due to hypertension "grin" A little incident had all my nerves hyped up to nowhere and I was forced into exile.
I will be closely hopping around and see what's the latest happening here. Gee...I miss my friends too. Have you contacted mylot regarding this email notifications. I see this "glitch" is still a popular virus here. I'm bacckkk, grandpa. LOL!

Hello granpa Bob!(",)
Sorry, I wasn't able to answer your discussions lately. I have been busy with work. I feel the same way as you are, maybe because some of my mylot friends are no longer into posting discussions here because their number of posts are not increasing anymore. I'm a bit lazy in adding in new friends because I just answer any discussions that I can relate to.(",)
Well, I guess its time to make new friends and keep the old ones and hope they will be back here in mylot soon.
Have a great day!(",)
