My offline life is more interesting than here,honestly speaking! I work as a trainee,but we have a lot of fun in our company,we are the same age,and our manager is a very kind person who teach us a lot! Off work we will go back to our dormitry or go shoping outside,we have fun together! Although sometimes it is a little boring in my life,I do love my life and struggle for a better life now!

I think everyone is struggling a bit dealing with the economic situation but I know many people are trying to enjoy their lives as much as possible as well. Your life does sound much more interesting than life online so do not be apologetic! Happy mylotting!

I basically love to fill my life with art. I listen to musical compositions. I love reading and writing. I view films. And most of all I looove watching NBA basketball. Outside of tech-no driven stuff, I visit my bible study congragation. Also, I like having lively conversations with my friends about my deep interest.

I am envious of you. I am very bad at art in all areas including but not limited to acting, drawing, painting, and anything related to music. I tried writing but I cannot seem to express my thoughts in the right way. Talking with friends is very common for me as well. Have a nice day!

When I am offline I like to write. I have had stories and a novel published. The novel was published in 2004 by Publish America. You can see it at http://www.letterfrompoitou.co.uk Apart from that I like to go for long wqalks with the dog as it keeps me healthy and takes me away from the computer screen for useful breaks!

I will check it out when I have time. I love to write also, but do not have the time or the experience to write successfully and interesting stories. I hope you will write more stories for people to read. Walking the dog is a great way to exercise. Happy mylotting!

I am a freelance academic and Mathematics tutor. I work about 10 to 15 hours a week on this job. It is my bread and butter. I have been doing this for more than ten years already. This job is a little bit challenging but for me earning online is more exciting although you will not earn much. Online jobs like offered here at Mylot is more of a hobby and it is really a great fun.

Ten years! You must really enjoy your job to have been doing it for that long. Life would not be fun without challenges, and I think it is one of the reason you may find it fun. That is true, as it is nearly impossible to make a living off the internet. Mylot is what I do in my free time as well. Happy mylotting!

Hi snam, when online I usually would like to do some latest news reading mostly related to my own nation. I then would login mylot site to do some reading and then do some posting. Before switch on my laptop in the morning I usually would have breakfast together with my husband. After reading newspaper for a short while I then would do some gardening work like watering, weeding and etc at the compound in front of my house. I like to spend 25 minutes or so to have such outdoor activities for the air outside is fresh and cool. I enjoy seeing the chirpy birds singing melodiously on the branches of the trees. I go for my part time work in the afternoon. I would have a short nap after back from the office. Yeah I usually go for my evening jogging at the nearby neighborhood for about 30 minutes or so. I like watching tv news and tv series after having dinner. I read a few pages of book before going to bed. Happy posting and have a nice day.

Yeah, we love the place where we live and like to learn more about it. I’m glad to know that you like reading local and regional news related to your place as well. Yeah, for better life, nowadays we have lots of things to busy with and could hardly squeeze out time doing some other interesting things. Hope that you could keep on having your leisure stroll daily, and breathe in the fresh air that could make you healthy and fit all the time. Take care and happy posting.

I have also been finding the news to be very interesting these days, especially local and regional news as I have not lived here for a long time. But it is sad that I do not have enough time to read the newspaper. Spending time outside is good. I walk a lot when going to places so I get fresh air everyday. It sounds like you are enjoying your life as it seems very relaxing and trouble free. Even though that may not be the case, it sure seems like it. Happy mylotting!

My life is pretty routine. I run. I work. I see my friends a couple times a week. I do my chores. Nothing special but it keeps me busy.

That is very similar to me. I wake up, go to school, come home, do homework, sleep and then repeat again. It also keeps me busy. Do you enjoy this kind of life though? I find it very mundane sometimes.

I am jobless and currently trying to get my PG diploma to be completed. Well, in my freetime I would like to play games on PS2. The favourite one is RE4. Well, I don't cook or play games in field. I would like watching football on TV. Sometimes, cricket only If India is playing.

I also like to play games on my PS2 although I find there is less and less time for that. I like watching TV and tennis. We have some interesting similarities. Happy mylotting!

I am married with a seven year old girl and I do freelance writing so I guess I am never too far away from a computer! I have sold a few pieces to a parenting magazine and I am working hard to do more and I am considering writing a book. I love to read, especially Stephen King and I love movies, the last one I saw was The Curious Life Of Benjamin Button and I thought it was brilliant!

Wow! That sounds great! I wish I could do that! I think you should write a book. I'm sure it will be a lot of work but will be worth it in the end. I haven't seen any movies lately but will be sure to check that one out when I get the chance. Thanks for sharing!

Very good topic for discussion! I am a mother, and a wife. I am a self-employed business building woman. My life is very busy off-line. My business is housekeeping and I am still at the start of it all so I am constantly working to build more clientele. I have three kids who live with us and on ewho is only here every other weekend, he came with my marriage and he is a little cutie!! Not only do I work for myself and on-line, I also take my kids to school each day, pic them up, help the deliver papers and run them to practices when they have practice. Overall, yes, I love my life. I have a wonderful family and a house full of love. I amable to pursue my dreams of being a business owner and build a more secure financial future for my entire family.

I know there are many mothers/wives here and I am glad they all work very hard in caring for their family but especially that they find time for themselves as well. I'm sure that is difficult to do. I hope I can also follow my dreams of being a CEO of a famous company and having a wonderful, loving family under the same roof. Its good to hear that you love your life because I know many people don't. Happy mylotting!

When offline, I make home, go out to market to get fresh food, cook meals, all these kinds of routines. Every now and then, I would go to the cinima for a movie and eat out with my man. At weekends, we meet with my son's family. Recently my grandson has just entered a painting course. As requested, I went buy all the color bars, brushes, board, and also the pullovers. I am on a plan to travel in mid March with my high school classmates, to some of the northern cities and Tai mountain. My sister will join me. It is always good to have a bit of moving to get refreshed.

You have a very interesting life but share many things with other mothers and wives here at mylot. I hope your trip goes well as it sounds like a lot of fun! That is true and I'm glad you can get out and get refreshed. Please make sure to share with us your trip!

I do not have much of an "offline time" during weekdays because I have a home-based work as a Web Researcher and required to do research 40 hours a week. I am married and my day starts with cooking breakfast. But on weekends, me and hubby play tennis in the morning, thenwatch DVD every saturday night, have some food delivered and stay up until midnight. Then on Sundays, we go to the mall, either window shop, play arcade or have some groceries done.

Wow, so I guess you are on the computer and on the internet most of the time. I like to play tennis too, although because of school I play in the afternoon. I'm glad you can still have fun offline though. Happy mylotting!

Those are some very interesting skills you have. I have never known anyone who can paint and stitch dresses. I think it is very difficult and that is why it might be rare. You're lucky that you can make such beautiful things out of everyday items. I know there are many ladies here that work at home as a housewife and come to mylot to relax and have fun. I think it is great that you take care of the housework and your family, but you should have some fun as well. And that's what mylot is for! Happy mylotting!
