Slapping You All Upside The Head!

Well geez louise group; I go away for a few weeks and all hell breaks loose! Ok - so the site has a new look. It's a bit of a shock to see for the first time, but being a member of an infinitely adaptable race, I got used to it pretty quick and don't feel the need to go on and on about it. Then I get the word that old and dear friends are being hounded and harrassed and some have left the site literally in tears! In surfing discussion I find post after post about the state of the lot in general, and the inmates taking over the asylum. And now the God discussions are cropping up again deriding the lack of tolerance here. Another discussion actually has a post from mylot admin on it! Will wonders never cease!!! So it seems I've missed a lot and you all have obviously missed me, because you've all gone savage without me! LOL So I'm back. But my personal rules have changed. My energy levels are low right now and so are my interests. I won't respond to discussions anymore about the state of mylot, stars, ratings or trolls unless these topics are brought to my attention by a friend who needs my help. Which I will gladly give, but the gloves will be off! I have been to hell and back recently and certain priorities have come into focus for me, that if it weren't for my friends here that I so badly miss, I'd leave you all to feed on each other til nothing was left but the fat lady singing! This is a universal website with more personalities than Carter has liver pills. Get over it! You can't please all the people all the time. All the people can't please you all the time. The people who jump on you, hurt your feelings or make you mad ARE OF NO CONSEQUENCE in the greater scheme of your time here. Don't let them get under your skin. Move on, stick to your friends and give the raspberry () to those that get up your nose. Use your time here to have fun ([em] w00t[/em]) and to hell with everyone else. The less we feed the nut jobs and pokers the less they'll bother us. Now somebody open the cocktail bar and let's get pissed with booze instead of negative words! So did you miss me? ROFL

Hullo Sparkybaby. Bout time you got back! Ya know, I've been a bit MIA myself for a while now, and I've missed all of the craziness that's been going on here, but I think I'm better for having missed it. Life in the real world is just too hard and we don't need this little utopia of ours being so chockfullofshit as it appears it's been lately. I've seen a couple of the posts about tolerance and the admin selling our e-mails and such, and I'm staying away from all of it. I'm having a hard enough time - I don't need this extra-added-attraction. So yeah, let's open the cocktail bar and have some fun like we used to.

Nova my darling! Good to see you. And I so totally agree. Life's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too short to let our fun be tarnished anymore with a bunch of pea brains. So the bar will open 24/7 from now on (HIC!) and as I'm going to be using this place as my personal fun therapy, I refuse to stop drinking, so let the chips fall where they may! ROFL. Missing you and thinking of you and worried sick about you. Love you!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'll shout it from the mylot rooftops if I have too: You are a mylot treasure Gabs. You will always be the heart of this place. I respect your feelings and understand completely your desire to take a break. And when you do pop in, you will be welcomed with open hearts and loving arms. NEVER doubt that!

Well, welcome back! Yeah I went away for 4 days and came back to this mess. I always miss the whole troll attacking thing and just hear the remnants of it. It's pretty sad that this type of behaviour is allowed to go on. I have never been attacked by these people - that I know of - and would probably just ignore it if I were. I just don't have time for it. It is aggrivating that they continue to chase away some good people.

Hey kiddo, how are ya? Yeah, apparently it's been quite a mess here. A very dear friend and a valued member here got driven off. Sometimes you just want to strangle some people, you know? I just don't see the point of making someone's life a misery. What a poor excuse for a power trip! So Sparks is back and won't tolerate this kind of crap anymore. I can be fun, but I can be hell on wheels too! LOL

Spark, you must have been gone when I came to Mylot. I haven't seen you around until tonight. But I will have to say you have made me laugh! I haven't been in on any of the inmates discussions, but I have read enough about them to realize someone must have been dipping into the fortune cookies and didn't like what they pulled out. I really loved your 'Carter liver pills' comment! You are right; we can't please all the people all the time, but neither can we please some of the people ANY time. We just have to do our best to keep our hands clean and let the rest do whatever pleases them. I have really enjoyed my time here at MyLot. When I can't find anything a friend has written to comment on, I often just go to my interests and when all else fails, I try Mylot, and that's how I happened upon you discussion. Thanks for a great laugh tonight.

I approved your request with pleasure Barb. As long as your alerts are turned on, you'll get notice of my discussions. I usually stick to my own interest groups. YOu'll find them eventually. Welcome to the group. Now let's party hearty all night long and to hell with that bed thing.................!LOL

I'm tired!!! I went to bed at 1:30. My husband got up at 4. He went down in the basement to the sewing room where he has a computer and works on others. He was working on our daughter's and playing music. Woke me up EARLY and I tried to go back to sleep and never could. So I figured I'd be sleeping in church but I managed to stay awake. I meant to come home and take a nap, but I haven't yet. Been on the phone with my daughter and the computer caught my eye.

I put in a friend request. I went to your interest and couldn't find the two topics you were talking about. I'll try again tomorrow. I probably overlooked them considering it's 1:15 and I really need to be in bed. I'm a night owl and need to learn to go to bed earlier. So I think I will call it a night. So glad to have met you.

You are a great writer, sparks. I've missed you here and yes, it all went to hel in a handbasket when you left. So I think the solution is simple...just don't leave again. The solution appears obvious. They now can stop fighting with each other and go after you....it is after all, your fault. You've just admitted it so don't even try to get out of it now. we have evidence.

Hell, I've only seen you once or twice on here and I can see I missed you!!! What a breath of fresh air you are!! Amen, amen, and I say verily, amen to your re-entry discussion to myLot!!! You have hit the nail squarely on the head even before you tried the upsides!! I'm a relative newcomer, but there has been plenty of nasty about (and apparently, I played a part on one discussion - but hey - I'm human!) So, why don't we see if we can navigate the excremental flow and find a fresh water spring near the head waters, eh?

[b]Well, what can i say? I'm new here and i read your post between the lines. I'm just thinking how is my lot two years before i come. You said that some of your friends has been hounded and harassed. Does it really happened here? I thought this is a nice site and full of friendly people. If i encounter rude people here i will just ignore them. Welcome back...! A greetings from a new member.[/b]

Yes, like any site with a large membership, there are going to be people who bend over backwards to make your life miserable just because they can. But I like your attitude - just ignore them! Stick with your friendly friends and have fun. Welcome to the lot and I love your avatar! So pretty and refreshing!

Goodness graceous. I had been away for awhile and only touching base every now and then. I came back on here on a regular basis and the first time I came back the site page is changed. And I for one think it is a good change. I love it. As far all this other things that are going on it is really silly. I come on here to have some fun and make friends. I don't let people bother me and never have. Everyone has there own opinion and are intitled to it. I don't push my opinions on anyone and I don't expect them to push their opinions on me. There are a whole whole lot of people here and there is no way that a person can please all of them. I'm not sure if I have met you. I have been here a year. I have not been on lately for no other reason than I had other things that I had to take care of. Welcome back. To the new and improved mylot.

How am I doing? Tired and whining about it. And, after reading some of what has been going on with you (and others here), I am going to try to re-prioritize my whining (even though I have an unspoken addiction to my whining). And to paraphrase an old saying about one man's garbage being another's treasure: "One person's insanity is another's sanity." Keep the laughter rolling. It most definitely "sparks" up life and sanity.
