Unwelcomed mylot absences..... Does it bother you as much as it does me?

Sounds like somebody is having some bad withdrawal symptoms. I heard Coke (the soda) helps with the sugar cravings. I used to get bothered when I don't get to mylot at all. It seemed like my day would not be complete. But I have been busy lately as you have been that it has been relegated to the back of the long list that needs to get done during the day. Most importantly, I prioritize sleep now before myLot. But that does not mean I do not miss the friends I've met here and I know I have been slacking at myLotting lately and I hope to get better at it again by February.

Hello James. This also happens to me, yes, and it does bother me, especially now in my stupid session exam. I had a really bad exam today as i read all that was needed for it 12 times in the last 5 days, and still i could not be happy about what i wrote- the thing is he gave us subjects that were not in our learning materials and that really sucked; but i got way off point. The thing is that i miss it especially when i can see my girl... no girl, no mylot, no fun... you know what i mean :D If i have the choice to be with my girl and enjoy her company or stay on mylot, i think the choice is pretty obvious.

Well according to my recent life.. I am very free now days taking a break from my college. Preparing for another college actually. So When My life gets busy I kind of like it!!! Its really good to have a busy life specially when you like what you are doing and obviously WITH vacations. I do missed mylot earlier(during my college days) but I don't exactly miss it now. I do have internet pal as well.. But I don't miss him as well. We exchanged numbers and now we can talk to each other any time we want. And about other friends.. Then I should say that I am not a very social girl. I don't care about keeping in touch with old friends like school friends or people you just met while you where traveling. Actually they were [b]never good friends[b]. I have a small circle of friends. My care taker who lived with us for like 13-14 years.. I make sure to be in touch with her.(she got married last year) And yes my aunt and no one else. (I live with my parents) So I don't miss people whom I've even met.. So missing my online pals is a far away thing. But mylot is kind of addiction to me. I like asking endless questions here!!! It is so good to have something with you with whom you can keep on asking questions about everything!!!! And sharing my views here makes me feel about my worth!!! And yes you are a handsome man.

For me it's a vicious circle. As much as I like being here on myLot, if I'm here it's because offline work is slack. Online ventures are a hobby for me to be done in my spare time as I can't pay the rent with them. So if I'm here it's because I have little offline. When I'm busy offline I wonder what I'm missing here but as I know I will get back as soon as things slack off again therefore I'm not really disappointed. I know that one day soon I will be able to be here as much as I like because before too long I will be able to give up my job. Ah how time passes

I get irritated when Life gets in the way of being on mylot, but, sometimes it's unavoidable. All we can do is our best, get here whenever we can

I have been quite busy myself this week, and only sporadically respond to things here. I miss not being here, picking on your for your typos, swooning over that guy with the armpit, slurping up milk with puppy, laughing at the fish's discussions and comments, and just being silly in general with FrootLoop and every body else. Not to mention that our discussion has been abandoned with only one day left to go. It does irritate me, but, I am getting busy, so that is a good thing.

Yeah James. I too have been away from mylot due to some reasons or the other and in the same way have noticed your absence as well. Even in office when busy or out, try to get some way or the other to sneak in and see what's happening, start some discussion and see which of the friends are active . Good to know that it's your job which has been keeping u active. All the best.

Yes, I do hate that! But then, at other times I avoid the computer all together as it can tend to gobble up much of my life! However! Mylot is now part of my life...

I have to agree with fwidman, sometimes it is unavoidable that your personal life is so busy that you have little time for mylot. When I have exams going on in my part-time studies and my part-time job gets crowded aswell their seems to be to little hours in a day or even a week without even counting personal time for friends and family into it; let alone mylot! I have an exam next monday so there was little mylot time for me aswell. The time I do spend when I have little time goes to my dear mylot friends like you have described; which you haven't met but have become a part of your daily routine. I surely missed you around James, good to hear from you! .

yup,you are right.it is after many days(probably first time in this week)when i have been able to come online without other pressing matters.)my brother and his wife have come down from kuwait(they have gone visiting,wont be here for a week).they will be here this month end and when,they are at home ,it doesnt look good,if i come online but i do miss mylotting terribly those days.its really funny to think i have become attached to my fellow mylotters and i look forward to their discussions.

Yes, that is true. Socializing over the net is becoming popular especially to busy people who do not have time to spare meeting physical friends due to work commitments and wherever they are they can still chat through the net, at least to kill the boredom when they are outstation. Mylot is indeed a great place to socialize and have made many friends over the years. There are times when I feel that the friends I met here are closer than those real physical friends I have. Over time the friendships created here have a different kind of closeness which is different from what I have had before in real world. Through experience I tend to miss them when they are missing in action and likewise when I am off for a few days there will be messages send to my box. That is maybe part of the reasons why I have been here for quite a while. It is difficult for me to say goodbye to mylot as the friends I have made here has become part of my life.

Thanks James, for letting me know that I'm not the only one who feels this way. How I want to interact here with atleast my friends everyday. Yes,I very much feel the same.

I agree I have a list of stuf I have to do in a day and sometimes there just isnt enough hours so mylot tends to get left and then I feel like I am missing out on stuf like the girl who doesnt go to the party and everyone else did lol

I'm here now! PRESENT! but not all the time. Life must be lived. When a lot of my online friends misses me I do get sad. But if I am not here or anywhere hubpages, I think of those people who got close to me with exchange of words and ideas. I'm glad that when I am not around they look for me because it only means I made a difference. It is amazing how this social sites touches our lives. It warms the heart and make us laugh.

Well no. Because I always know my priorities and know that I will come back to mylot whenever I am free. I have made very good friends here who understand the necessary absences. What worries me more is the total absence of a handful of my friends from mylot as a bunch for quite some time now. It cannot be a coincidence that two of three of my best friends are not to be seen. I am beginning to worry whether they are banned or fallen prey to some monster here.

I do miss Mylot if I hasn't been here in a while, I haven't been here much this week as I have a deadline for two things looming. But I finished the deadlines items up earlier today. Now I'm back to Mylotting as per more my usual schedule. I want to do 25 more posts today. I hope to make a dollar here today. Followed by $2 plus on Thursday and $2 plus on Friday. That will put me at payout before I go to New Heaven on Friday for my gymnastics research trip.

I am very fond of My Lot and when I can spend much time on it I feel happy about that. However if I am really busy and therefore have limited time on My Lot I feel sad about that. When I go off traveling I love that however I do miss spending time on My Lot. When I come home I adore going back on to wonderful My Lot as soon as possible. Real life can take up and I have avoiding filling in a long and boring form from my son's play group. I rushed to complete it today so that I could go on My Lot. Next time I might take my laptop if the guest house has free Internet connection. Then I will be able to go on My Lot every evening after sightseeing.

You bet I do! So when there is the time wherein I can't respond to my friends discussions, I try to respond to all of them (as long as the topics interests me of course) as soon as I found the time like now. I have also been busy with other online thingy's but myLot is still the closest to my heart.

yes i know very frustrating to me as well.i too have been very busy trying to raise 6 kids and find a job also.i wish i could find something to invest a couple hundred bucks in so i could generate a few evtra bucks a week to help out with the bills.i know it's very hard on him with the economy being the way it is now.any how as long as i can get in sometimes and put my two cents in,lol.

I find so much truth in that. I too, get so upset when in a day I couldn't lay my eyes on mylot. And it's funny how we are supposed to worry about real things getting undone because mylot is eating so much of our time instead. Yes, I miss a few people when I can't mylot, or when they can't mylot. It's really become a part of my system now that I won't mind if this site would never even offer any payout. Um...well, the last part's kind of questionable really. LOL
