Are you upset?

Everytime I go to work or I go to school, I have a time to log in and do mylotting. I do not have internet connection at home, and am off for 2-3days per week. This means my mylot session is very limited. At work I can only do it when I am not busy. Also in school, I can browse mylot when we are free. At home I only have to wonder. This means, I have not much time replying for all my friends' discussions. Since I do not have enough time to respond to all discussions, I try to respond to discussions which are related to me. Or discussions which I can relate easily. I am upset that I am not able to respond to all of my friends' discussion. Most of the time, my own mylotting session is limited. I'd like to apologize to my friends about this. Are you also upset when you can't participate in all your friends' discussions? What do you do to be able to participate in most of them? Thanks for supporting my discussions. GOD bless!

I feel your friends will understand your predicament. As you will have limited time at school or at work to post on mylot. So you really can't post much even if you want to as you have study and work to do. Hopefully you can get computer with internet at home soon so can be more active on mylot. Enjoy life. Have a nice day.:)

Thank you for understanding my friends. I really wanted to have internet connection at home too. I know after my masters I can afford to have soon. My studies and work will help me stay online in mylot now since there are internet connection in school and office. Thanks for responding. God bless!

I just check under "discussions my friends started" but I don't respond to all of them. If it is something I don't know anything about I won't respond. It's kind of hard to respond to everyone so it doesn't upset me if everybody doesn't respond to mine.

MyLot is a diversion, and should not be so important to a person that it is upsetting to them. I like to respond to my friends, but they do not always have something I can respond to. I work one or two jobs all of the time, and cannot access the computer for personal use at either one of them. I do not let small things upset me, it just is not worth it. I just enjoy the fact that MyLot is here and I can from time to time enjoy it.

Thanks for your response my friend. I really enjoy mylot and yes it is my diversion. I am able to tell others what I think or want. I am happy to know that you are a great positive way of life. I am learning not to be upset about this situation here. God bless!

Yes these are my frustrations because I really wanted to make responses with my friends discussions. I hope you get over your frustration too when your brother starts to over use your computer. I suggest that you make a schedule as to what time slot are you going to use the pc. In this way, you and your brother can agree on the timing and he can't reason out for over using. LOL. I hope you can try this. Thanks alot for the response. God bless!

That is very frustrating my friend to be hooked and not being able to accompany your child. I do hope you can manage your time well to balance your career and your motherhood. I know it is hard to be a mother and a career woman. Good luck for next year's challenge when you send your child to school. God bless!

It's ok. I don't get to check all of mine at one setting either and I am at home. Focus on your school and work and then check through Mylot when you can. Work and school is more important in my opinion. Heck, I give anything I had a job that required most of my time. When I do get a job, I plan on only working on my online programs on my days off. So just read through them, ones that you relate with, respond. With me, even with my friends list, if I don't relate or don't have a clue about it, I don't respond. I won't respond just to get money and end up with a post that makes no sense or that's not related to that discussion. Again, no need to apologize.

Your welcome. It is nice to stay home with my kids. After 11 years though, I'm tired of doing the same thing every day. I need change in my life and I feel a job would do that for me. Again your welcome. God bless you as well.

i don't feel upset but disappointed because usually i try to do my best to reply in at least one of their discussions.but sometimes due to some personal responsibilities or some internet problems i m not able to do so..in situation like this i just leave them. in my opinion feeling upset is not going to do anything!;) just one should try his/her best to do,with those facilities present, what s/he can do. never feel upset i hope your true friends would understand your difficulties and they won't mind it too much when you are not able to reply!

Hello there beauty, I missed you here.I know and understand your case.Sometimes I feel the same, I can do mylotting anytime at work when i am not busy and I can also do mylotting at home since we have internet connection. But still I feel upset when I am not able to respond to all the discussions since I only have very limited time. I cannot do much mylotting at home since when I get home all I think of is sleep and sleep and sleep, its nice to rest and relax at home.

Hi my friend Zelmarq. Thank you for responding my discussion. You are lucky you have an internet connection at home. If I can have an internet connection at home, I would be happy to spend them mylotting if my pc is free. I think my mother will be the one to complain for high usage of electricity then. LOL. Thanks and God bless!

Yeah, you can surf online anytime when you are free at home if you have an Internet connection at home. Just go to the Ph Telecom to apply for one. I think that is the place to go to if you want to have the connection. We go to China Telecom if we want to have. Good luck.

Thanks for giving me hit where to get internet connection. Actually our office is a telecom company and they are offering to employees cheaper connectivity. But at the moment I have no budget since I am pursuing my masters. Maybe next year, after I graduate I can have it. Thank you so much, God bless!

Hello Beauty! Yes, when I am at the public library in Monroe, Michigan..

No wonder your asawa or wife attended to all your letter while you were penpals way back in 81-85! I thank you for the lab top or laptop. LOL. And for the offer of $9.04. You are number 1 in mylot ofr being generous. Hehehe,I can imagine this, everybody will respond to your discussions asking this favors later. I am flattered, by the way, for letting me know I am one of your favorite posters. LOL. Am I a poster? Yeah maybe, hehehe I post every now and then whenever I have an idea I'd like to ask or know or share. Thank you so much for sharing something for me here in mylot. They are of great help. I really appreciate your spelling check with your words and translations. Hehehe. Have a wonderful day. God bless and extend my regards to your wife and family!

We intake our food as we eat thru our mouth with our tongue. But somehow there are times that our sharp tongue gives off some words that can be destructive just like what you said. It is scary how little things can destroy great things. If our we have the 'power of tongue', I am sure that we too have the 'power of the mind'. Yes I believe in this and I know that what I believe in will come to a reality as long as my actions leads to it. Our faith needs to be accompamied with our actions. Thanks for sharing those very helpful insights. You are a great help in mylot. God bless!

I get upset when I get woken up early, and when Im stuck in traffic taking my sons to school and picking them up... It gets so frustrating sometimes cos the traffic takes for hours, also I get upset when Im trying to respond to my friends discussions in mylot and my computer decides to freeze on me, when im half way thru responding to a discussion... I like reading discussions that I find I can relate to more easily... Nice discussion.

I just do whatever I could do. Like you I'm also working and at the same time a parent. So my time is also limmited and even if I spend less time in sleep just to answer and participate in myLot, I still feel the shortness of my time.

Yes our time is limited. But mylot has offered us a limitless happiness that is the reason why I try to visit it as much as I can. My friend you are a great working mother. I know that task is the most difficult thing that you are into. I know that you can succeed to being a mother and a career woman at the same time in God's guidance. God bless!

I have all my friends on e-mail notification. So every morning when I get to work I go and read the notifications- I delete the ones I can’t respond to- at least not with a quality response. I then put all the ones I want to reply to in a Mylot folder in my e-mail. I answer them in word throughout my work day and then I copy/paste them at home into the discussions- I have some e-mails from a couple of weeks ago – I will get to them- but in my time- Somedays I have longer to work on mylot than others- Yes it makes me sad that I can’t answer them all- but I can’t spend 24/7 here- We all understand--- just do what you can and it’s good to see you here!

I'm just glad to know that you are still with us and that you are ok, so there is no reason to apologize to me. I'm lucky in that I am home most of the time, and I have a computer on my desk so I don't have to miss out on mylotting unless I have errands to run. I don't think I would be very happy either if I didn't have my computer to go on when I wanted. God bless you too hon.

I work for a telecom office as a network operations engineer. We work on a shifting schedule that is why there are busy works and free hours at work. I am currently enrolled for masters that is taking much of my time for research and projects too. Alot of deadlines to make that makes lesser time for mylot. Thanks for being understanding my friend. And for helping me with my discussions. By the way, I noticed you are fun of using "hon" am reminded of an 'x' here. LOL. God bless!

I do feel upset because I can't participate in all of the discussions that my friends started as much as I want to. I try to open my friends discussions and answer it one by one but sometimes my time is limited or I can't relate to what they have started so I have to skip them. Have a computer at home but the internet connection is really slow and even though I am connected for about three hours, I usually have done little even though I want to do more. Don't worry, you're not the only one...we're trying.
