hi mylotters I am finally back and have a tongue in cheek question to all of my friends. Are you as addicted to MyLot as I aM?i HAD computer problems for three weeks and was going ape trying to
not make up discussions and responses in my head. a friend of my son knew we were having some money problems so she sent him a brand new power source for my computer so I am back in business again. And I know now for sure I am really addicted to MyLot.

So that was what was keeping you away for so long then ah? It was a long time that you were away for this time, you must be burning it out with all the time that you are on it for!
In answer to your question, no I am not addicted to myLot, not anymore. I was when I first joined I had to be on it all day, everyday. Now, I can get by with just coming on for a couple of hours, there have even been a couple of days that I have not come on it until the evening time.

To be honest with you I grasped from the get go that I was never goin to be rich on here, but I have seen even more of a decrease from that side of things. Things have changed here, it is just not like it was when I first joined and so I just come on for my little pocket money that I can then spend on ebay! Once I reach my goal here that I have recently set for myself or once I find something else, which is not likely I may leave for good.

Hiya Hatley, glad to see you back here...I had even started a discussion about missing friends and was thinking of you in particular...glad to hear it was only computer problems and nothing serious like health problems....Yes, I'm completely addicted to MyLot and am usually here everyday...but sometimes other things get me busy and I won't have as much time to devote to being here--like right now I've been busy with writing up my grant work that I'm hoping to get...I'm nearly finished and hope to mail things off next week.

I do have to agree with you that Mylot is mighty addictive. Though I haven't been as active as I usually am this summer and trying to get back into the swing of things. I've been addicted to Pogo Scrabble since it came out and spend way too much time playing it instead of Mylotting. I do try to respond to a few discussions a day, but need to make myself get back into that addictive habit of responding to a dozen or more discussions a day.
Glad your back mylotting again!

I think I have an addictive personality when it comes to about anything but I realize that so I try not to let myself get out of control. I can tell when I am getting to that point and I have to make myself take a break. I set a time limit for mylot, which helps and I don't go past that. I used to check my posts in the morning but now I limit it to night time.

They do have a Mylot anonymous, don't they.. You may need to check into it and see for sure, you may find a bit of help there, lol.. A couple of months ago, I had problems with my cable provider and had to go without the internet for about a month, it almost killed me.. My husband was staying as far away from me as he could.. I would sit at the computer and play games and try to sign on, it was pathetic.. I did get it straightened out and made the cable guy stay here until I got signed back on, I wasn't about to let him leave until I knew for sure that I could sign on.. We are pitiful, aren't we?? Have a great day and Keep on Mylotting..

hi donna my son is out of work so we could not get the part we needed but a computer friend of his sent us the part free so now Iam once more mylotting again. I used to sit here and try to sign on and no go, just hoping it had the power it needed. right now I am so scared as I dont work, and my son has not yet got his unemployment check, and now the rents coming up again.

I understand completely as we are in the same boat.. My son lost his job and he and his wife moved in with us.. We are paying all of the bills on a fixed income and the bills are doubling, our utility bill went up another 20%, that will make it $200.00 a month now.. Thankfully we do flea marketing every day and make a little bit of extra money, but a lot of days we barely manage to break even.. I will keep you in my prayers and hope things change for the poor person soon, we can't take much more.. I live on prayer anymore because almost everything we make extra goes for gas and groceries, but I am thankful for that anyway.. Good luck to you and your son, I hope things get better soon..

Yes, i can say i am an addict too. I can never start my day without going over mylot though, often times i am running late for work. Mylot surely has turned me into an addict, i have all my friends notification turned on, so i know what is going on with them. I really enjoy it here. Happy mylotting!

First of all WELCOME BACK HATLEY!!! You were definitely missed
by so many!!! We are so glad that you are back and that you
are ok. I can tell you that there are many of us that were
quite worried about you Ms. Hatley! It's so not like you
to disappear without telling anyone what was going on! As
long as everything is ok now! Yes, I am an addict! I have
trouble staying away from Mylot!. I am here until all hours
of the morning and then I get up and check emails and then
I come home and do it again and then I start to answer and
then I can't stop myself until 3-4am est time! I am a crazy
mylot maniac! I just love answering my friends discussions!
I have such a great time! It's so much fun for me, since I
can't sleep anyway and I love to type. It's great excercise
for my fingers at least! Well my dear Hatley it really is so
great to have you back and I'm so sure this discussion is
going to break all kinds of Mylot records with all the friends
that missed you so much! Your friend, Opal

hi opal and kitty am so glad to be back and mylotting, what made it even worse was that my son is still out of work and I am unable to work so we are waiting yet for his unemployment check and with the rent coming right around the corner, its a bit scary.

Addiction has to be the word!!! It's nice to see how others respond to your views and opinions. I guess you could also look at mylot as being a kind of blog! You can share your thoughts on life, your own personal experiences about absolutely anything. Am I addicted? Definitely! Am I getting a buzz out of this? Absolutely. This is the place to be without a doubt. Andrew

Not any more. I am glad to see you are back. What a shame you could not use a computer at the library or perhaps get a friend to make a posting for you. It seemed some people were concerned about your disappearance.

I'm glad to see you back Hatley. We all wonderd about you and missed you. As for being a mylot addict, I think I used to be when I started here over a year ago. Now I'm not at all. I could go days without being tempted to go on mylot. I don't like to let my friend's discussions get backed up for me to answer, so I try to get to those. I do all their discussions before any other ones. I think maybe my lack of interest in mylot is due to just having some trouble right now in my own life. You know what I mean, when your brain is tired from every day life, it doesn't seem to work on command, even at mylot. : )

Hello Patsie,
Welcome back but you sure are crazy!
I am not addicted to myLot. I can stop myLotting forever and probably won't miss it. But I do pop by every now and then to touch base with my myLot friends.
Curb your addition!! HA!
