Hi everyone. I'm posting this to let you all know that I won't be around for a while. I'm very unhappy with everything that has been going on here. I have so much respect and care so much for so many people here, that it breaks my heart to back away for a while. I won't be gone for good, just taking a break. Anyone who wants to get in touch with me, please PM me if you can. I will miss you all. Hugsssssssssss

Hi Leenie,
Take your break maybe your perspective will change and maybe you'll find what your looking for in your absence... Or maybe you won't have much of an absence and you'll get it all figured out...
Sometimes a day or two or a week can put things into a better perspective and you know what they say about absence... Sometimes that works also...

Yes, I of all people understand how to create and avoid stress, sometimes in order to clean up we need to mess things up a little. I guess it is part of the process as things tend to ebb and flow...
I too have had my heart wrenched and wished that I could do more than I can, at least at this time my resources are very limited.
Take a break and soon things will be fun again, I'm sure of it, jump right back in when it feels good...

Hi GWB,
It's not only necessary for me to take a break but also heart breaking. Too much negativity for the soul this past week. If I'm feeling more sadness than fun and laughter, then I have to realize something is without a doubt out of control here. Most of us come here to see each other to balance out our lives, not to add more stress. I know you of all people understand that. I'll be back soon. I'll miss you and everyone else too much. Hugsssss

i'm so sorry to hear that you are going to take a break from here due to the unhappy situation here... it is a shame that many people had left this place because they are being harassed or abused by the trolls which caused them to be unhappy... hopefully you will come back soon after you take the break and feel better... looking forward to see you again... take care and have a nice day...

Hi lingli,
Thank you for your concern. I will be back. I agree with you about the trolls and how much power they seem to have. I've been fortunate not to have been harassed by them but too many friends have been lately. I love coming here because of all my friendships I have been so lucky to have developed. I'll be back , just don't know when. Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear you are unhappy here in mylot. I don't know your reasons or what happened to turn you off of mylot but it is something, I'm sure, that can be fixed. When I feel I am having too many problems with some of the friends on my list I just delete them. Then I don't have to deal with them anymore as I only respond to my friend's discussions and since they are not on my list anymore I don't get their discussions in my email. Problem solved.
I won't give anyone here the satisfaction of chasing me away. I had a stoker once that went to all of my discussions and responses and posted nasty stuff about me so I just let mylot know and they checked it out and banned the person. The person came back as a different user about a month later and told me who she was and that she was back just to haunt me. So I let mylot know again and again she was gone and I haven't heard from her for about 6 months now. Eventually the people you may be having problems with will go away because it just isn't worth the hassle after awhile. They eventually give up.
So don't let anyone chase you away if you want to and like being active here. Just be yourself.

I just checked your profile and it says you last logged in 21 hours ago and since you posted this discussion 7 days ago, not 21 hours ago, I can see you didn't stay away after all. That is good. You didn't let someone chase you away. Good for you my friend.

Hi Chris,
No, no one chased me away. There was a very tough week that made me sad and angry both about more than one situation and I felt that one very close friend of mine was taking unfair treatment and being abused by a troll. Feeling like I did I decided I needed a break while things got back to the Mylot I so enjoy coming to. Thank you so much for your concern and advice.
I'm also experiencing problems with my computer. I hope it won't keep me from posting or responding. Hugssss

Hi leenie! I know how you feel. I have no been around here
much myself lately. In fact, May was the first and only month
that I didn't make payout in the year that I am here. I just
have not been in the mood to post much anymore. I don't know
what it is, but I have just lost faith with all the things
going on here and the stuff going on in my own life. I start
out responding and then I just can't go on. So I do understand.
I will email you and I want you to email me too. We have lots
of catching up to do. It has been a bad time here the last
few days so maybe now is a good time to take a break. I hope
to hear from you soon! Love, Leslie

Will miss you leenie. Know what you mean about being unhappy on myLot. I've only been unhappy with a discussion twice. Someone accused me of being ignorant but it was straightened out. Think the member read the discussion wrong and apologized. Hurry back after your break.

Thanks carol Sweetie,
Nothing was about me, it's about a couple of my friends and the way they are being treated. One thing is bad enough but when everything they say or do is erased, etc. then it doesn't make sense to me. I'll be back soon sweetie.
Hugsssssssss

I'm sorry to to be hearing that mylot's got you down like this leenie and I do understand that a break is well in order if you're feeling this way. I've had my moments too where I got fed up or jaded here, but I always seem to bounce back! Yes, there have been some frustrating moments here lately, as well as many actions that totally defy logic, but personally I'm kind of used to the ups and downs now I guess and they don't seem to affect me as much anymore. I hope the break clears your head and heart and you'll be back soon!

Thanks James. I can't see myself being gone too long. You and all the people on this page who responded and many more people are way too important to me to walk away forever. You guys are the friends I hold so dearly in my Heart. I'm sure the break will clear my head and heart.
Hugssssssssss

Ahhhhh leenie!! Don't go!! I don't know what happened but don't let one bad apple spoil the fun for the rest of us!! That lets them win and I'm not willing to do that. Just ignore the asinine who's causing you grief and not respond to their comments and they'll eventually go away. Or better yet, report them and hope they'll be banned!! Yeah! that's the way to do it!! LOL
If you do decide to take a break, I won't like it and will miss you a lot but I will understand and I hope it won't be a long one!! Hugs!!

Hi leenie -
Enjoy your break! LoL! I was on a long break too and now I have only been posting every so often here. I don't blame you at in the slightest. Sometimes it can be too much and obviously some things here on myLot are bothering you. Everybody needs a break now & then. Take care,
Jill

Taking a break..........
Hi Leenie50, hate to see that you had to back a way for a while from mylot but I can surely understand you needing time for yourself and well people do what they got to do. So whenever you are ready to come on back hopefully we'll still be here. I"m getting ready to take a break here shortly myself. Would love to know what kind of things that are disappointing you here at the lot? Enjoy your break...

Hi Citychic,
I apologize for not answering your response sooner. I read it and even rated you with a positive as I do everyone I can. Somehow I missed responding. I was just disappointed with the way some of my friends were being treated with some of their posts. It was a very depressing week. There was a troll involved so I decided to take a break, simple as that. Thanks for asking. Did you take a break yet? See you around.
