Many people have posted about it being good to have a break from mylot every now and then. And I'm just wondering, what the longest break you have ever taken yourself is? As for me, the longest I have gone without mylotting since I joined is maybe a day only! lol.
So what about you? What is the longest break you've taken?

8 months!
I joined mylot at the end of October,2006 when I was at my parents' place for Omkar's delivery. I left for Bangalore on December 30th,2006. At that point, our computer wasn't working and we didn't have an internet connection. And since I had a little baby, I couldn't get out to go to an internet cafe. We got a new computer and an internet connection at the end of August,2007 and I started mylotting again from September 1st.
That's the longest break I've had.

I wasn't active for the last two weeks as well. But I'm hoping to be more active again and I also hope that you'll find some time to do mylotting.
Advance Merry Christmas to you and to your family and I hope that you all have a great time.
Sorry Brisk, but do you celebrate Christmas?

Hey you defeated me! I just got curious to see if someone had a break as long as mine. And here you are, twice restive....
Anyway, good luck I'm not going to try to break this record at least for now. :)

Ever since i became active on mylot and that is about 5 months ago, the longest break that i have had from here is a couple of days. And it was quite difficult to stay away. It's such an addicting place , the interactions with friends, posting,responding and commenting.

Hi there CJay77!
The longest break I have had from myLot was three months. Yes, three long months. That took place late last year. It was from October to December of 2007. At that time, I had to work on a lot of things that really required much of my time. I actually thought that I would never be on myLot again. Well, I was wrong. The moment I accomplished the things I had to accomplish, I was back on myLot. In fact, I have been more active than ever.

Believe it or not, it was 5 months. When I joined mylot, I was enjoying it for a week and then I decided to stop for a while because I was thinking I may not reach their minimum payout which is $10. It took 5 months for me before I decided to continue because one of my good friend kept encouraging me that I should continue because mylot really pays and its not a scam. So here I am now!

Hi jstmarfz! Five months? Thumb's up for a friend that keeps encouraging you to do mylotting, lol. Actually when I first join here it took me two months to reach the payout and I'm here almost everyday! I hope that you will continue having fun on mylot and thanks for sharing.

My longest break is about 1 month. I reach my payout last month and I stop. The main reason i stop is because the connection is very very bad at my area here. Normally i can't access to myLot at weekdays night time but recently i also can't access to it during weekend's day time. I gave up after few try. But today i "pass by" to check can i log in and LOL! i am back here again!

Hey CJay,
after I signed up I was inactive for more than 1 month. Then I somehow get back here and start to be active. From that time the longest period I was off here was 1 weak or something like that. I had problem with internet connection, so that was the reason I was off. I usually log in at least once a day, but there are some days I just log in but not write anything.
Happy myLotting friend.

Hey dieorfly! I have some days also that I do login, but didn't really do anything. There are times that I do have a problem with internet connection, but they do fix pretty fast, because my internet is connected in my husband office. Thanks and happy mylotting to you as well.

My longest brake so far( though I'm new member) was one month, because i was in a hospital. I really missed my PC and mylot a lot so when i returned yesterday nigh, the first thing i did was to open mylot and see what had happened during this period of time i was away.

Same with you, the longest break that I had with myLot was one day only. I just can't seem a day to pass without logging in to mylot even for just a while. But at that time, I had no choice because I attended a High School reunion. I was only able to log in the next day. But when I was with my former classmates, my mind was here in myLot.

Hi iamcdy! Lol, same here, there are times that I'm out with my friends and my mind is in mylot . I guess we can call ourselves a bit addicted on mylot, lol! The day that I'm not on mylot is because I'm having a fever and until now I'm not feeling hundred percent, but I can't help it to do mylotting! Thanks for the response.

Because of other family matters (my hubby has cancer) and other commitments I had to take a long break from myLot. It has been about 4-5 months since I last posted more than one or two responses at a time. I am trying to get back into the swing of things now, but still not posting as much as I used to. I think breaks are good, but not for as long as I've had to take, lol.

I'm sorry to hear about your hubby and I hope that he's doing great now. I wasn't active on mylot for almost a week because I'm not feeling well, although I login from time to time, but didn't really do anything . But I will try to be active on this site again. Thanks for sharing, creativedreamweaver.

HI CJAY
I have been off intermittently from mylot but not on a long break whatsoever. At the most, it's about 15-20 days when I had taken off and went to our country home last year. It felt very bad initially but when you are surrounded by loved ones you can get away with it. Coming back to mylot was fascinating with the friends pining for your return and starting discussions on your absence. that made me feel how blessed i am!
Thank you myLot.
Thank you cjay.

Hello mimpi! I agree that we can get away with it, when we're surrounded with our loves ones. Thankfully I haven't been away on mylot for a long break, although I haven't been so active for few days and I do miss mylot and my friends here, like you. Thanks dear.

I think the longest break I have taken from Mylot would be about a month or so. I'm a college student which means I often get pretty busy and have other obligations to attend to. Sure coming here, posting and making money is nice but I do have schoolwork and stuff to do. Sometimes I end up taking a week or two week break while I'm completeing projects but otherwise I'm usually here.

Hi highflyingxangel! I can understand how busy can you get in your school and I hope that everything is great with your studies! Posting and the earning on mylot is great, but sometimes we have our priorities in life. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your studies.

I don't take a break from mylot. I have been hear for a year now and I never take more
than two or three days of not logging in and checking things out. First, I like to see
my earnings and secondly I like to see if any of my friends have sent me a personal
message. I may not always make any postings and only read a few things, but I am always
here to check it out.
The longest time I have gone without posting anything though, is a week. A week when my
husband came to visit me. We live in different cities at the moment. So when he is in
town I don't post anything on mylot, but I still logged in to check things out. I just
can't stay away. hehe
Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend,
Have a good day, Chris

Wow you haven't taken a long break for a year . For the last two weeks I do login, but don't really make any posts and just also check if I got PM from my friends. Fair enough when your husband is there with you, better give your time for him though, specially that you live in different cities. Thanks for sharing, Cris, and you have a day also.

I once have a day as my longest when my LCD crashed and I am so eager to go online as not to miss anything since I am also trying to make an experiment for every response I make this month. But just a couple of days ago, 2 straight days that I haven't log-in because of internet connection problem but I didn't feel so bad although I felt a little bit frustrated because I would be missing another day without earnings. But I just comfort myself just because I am only few cents away from payout and so yesterday I reach the minimum.

Yeah, I do have and until today I still don't have any replacement and I am just depending on my friend if he don't use his laptop and that's the time I grab the opportunity to ask him if I could borrow and log-in straight to my business here and the rest of my activities.
