I am be awol for over a week now on this site. I have had personal things to attend to, look getting work assignments to pay my bills, I have been suffering from a bad back and I have not been in the best of spirits, terrified is more like it, thinking that my lights would be turned off, but I didn't want to bother anyone here with my issues. Any how one friend took notice and she pm'ed me, she has been pming me ever since to see that I am okay. It sure does feel good to know that I have such a good friend. I am not allowed to say her name, but I can tell you she is gissi's mom. Gissi is a dog, in case you don't know him, but he is very special dog, he is a little man in a fur coat. Do you have such good friends here on this site?

I have met wonderful people and great members here but, as far as closeness is concern, I have none! We are just close and agree with some ideas but beyond this site, I have no contact with them..That's great for you winterose and I hope I will also find a great friend like that whom I can talk to even not here on the site!

most of the connections are like that but there are a certain group that go behind socializing here on this site for me, they have my home email, and some have much more than that. Those ones were not counting in this surprise pm.

No, I really don't, but am so glad that you do have someone like that.. I usually take my hard knocks and keep them to myself.. I normally will not admit to having problems even when I know that someone else is having them just as bad.. I only let out what I want out, and keep the rest to myself, because as you noted, only one person on here pm'ed you.. I am so glad that you found a bit of support on Mylot and hope things do start going better for you..

I believe only one person pm'd me because it is a busy site and it is hard to keep track of who is on and who isn't some people have about 500 people on their connection list, I didn't expect anyone to pm me that is why it was such a thrill for me to get that pm.

Hi, I wasn't aware how dire your situation is. I will pray that you get better and your living situation improves. That is great that you have a good friend who communicates with you through iming. Since I am new, you are the only friend I have at the moment. I do not get a chance that often to visit mylot, but once everything is done on this end, I should be able to visit more - hopefully by June.

I noticed you hadn't had much activity. But I also thought maybe I just wasn't finding it. I'm still confused here. (Doesn't take much to confuse me, I guess.) I'm glad there was someone who cared enough to check on you.

I went to visit my daughter and grandson for a couple of weeks the end of March and beginning of April and was not on here as much and I did get a private message from one person on mylot checking up on me to make sure things were ok. I really hope things get better for you soon winterose.

Yes, I do and you are one of them mommy Rose. I don't have special part to do and have not had extraordinary act done or received but I have words from friends around here that in one way or another made me for a day. Simple few words but it meant a lot. It doesn't only brighten a day, it does makes one good inspiring day. Take care and God bless mommy Rose!

Rose, I thought you might have gone on vacation with your boyfriend. I rarely send out private messages, as know some people get really mad at me for sending them. There are a few people that would wonder where I was located, but don't think they would private message me. Your not bothering us with issues, as all of us have gone through various issues that really stressed us out. When my brother had his heart attack only a few people really noticed, I needed help to lower stress quickly.

Hi winterose. I often try to contact people from here if I don't hear from them in a long time. And I have been in contact with you as well. To be honest I haven't been here as much myself. Like you, I'm on disability benefits in which I'm squeaking by. Lately, I've been writing a lot of articles myself just to survive. At the beginning of the month I had to dip into some of my money just to get a "Few" extra things that I needed..this unfortunately meant dipping into the money toward my bills...I've been figuring out my bills for next month for instance, and unless I get some really good deals for articles I have no idea how to pay all my bills. I did send an article for instance a few months ago to MedHunters and am still waiting to hear from them. So yes, I've been not as frequent here either save just to respond to repliers in my own discussions. Yes I do know who you mean...Gissi's mom...I often will email her myself, since she is sometimes absent from here and I want to know if she's all right. I think many of us that are friends here do get concerned when we don't see a friend here for sometime..like my friend pola for instance who is going through a very rough time and I constantly emailed her to find out how she was doing. Her mother is very sick, and not expected to live much longer, and she has her own health concerns as well. So yes, it's so great to be connected with each other, especially when someone becomes missing for awhile. PS--I do plan to read your stories soon, I just really haven't had the chance yet...Another thing I had vowed to myself...to get back to writing my novels, even if just for an hour a day

pye you are always thinking about other people, emailing me for different causes, and that shows you have a good heart too, those are the qualities I like in people, the world can be so cold if you don't have a friend.

You might not be able to mention her but I will. Well done Gabs. I noticed too but only PM'd once. We all love and care for you Winterose, but it is lovely to hear that she was persistent in making sure you were ok. It is lovely when people do that. I had someone PM me a while ago when I was feeling a bit low but hadn't mentioned in any discussions but they realised I wasn't my normal self in the manner in which I just replied matter of fact rather than my usual banter. I won't mention name but he swims well bless and was there when I really needed a friend. Ellie :D

I am not sure if anyone would notice if I was gone. But I would like to think that at least a few people here know me. I hope I have helped couple of people here and there. It is wonderful you have found such a nice friend. I do hope that you feel better as soon as possible, and that you are able to take care of everything you need to take care of. Best of luck to you.

That is so wonderful to have someone who notices when you are AWOL and checks on you.. I have been gone for a month and no one noticed, oh well, we can't all be popular.. Thank your lucky stars. because a really good friend is very hard to find.. Hope things get better for you, I do understand how you feel..
