Hi Mylot Friends,
I am happy to share with you an experience i had two weeks ago. I received a package from a Mylot friend. This really cheered me up. Thanks C for this token of friendship.
I received two scarves. These scarved meant so much for me. I even figured out the symbolism of it as it relates to our friendshi
The LENGTH symbolizes the DISTANCE. It never became a hindrance to connect with friend. It also symbolizes the lengthy discussions we had.
The DIFFERENT COLORS symbolize the difference in culture, beliefs and ideas but appreciates each others uniqueness and respect differences.
The PURPOSE symbolizes warmth in friendship.
So how about you friends do you have similar experience or unique experience from a mylot friend that STARTED HERE? Please share. Thanks!

Hi C,
This is my third time of composing a response here. i don't know what's happening here. i even attached another photo where i am wearing your scarves but i failed for three times.
Anyway, i am so thankful that you let me feel this kind of importance for sending me a token of friendship. i am so lucky. imagine, i am the only or first person to receive something from a mylot friend. i hope you can see and feel too how grateful i am for receiving that gift. wait for my surprise friend. something from the philippines.

I received a book from another myLot friend. MommaJ and I participated in her book discussion. It wasn't a gift, but it was something, lol.
I sometimes have trouble posting also. I don't know what is going on but I guess they will straighten it out eventually.

clap clap clap for you msfran and you really deserve that gift. i do have build friendship here at mylot.... like your and mine and a few more who really are good people, nice to discuss with and very informative as well. but no gifts like that har har har. but what i can say is i learn to be a little more considerate regarding relationship with people. i am really a loner and i really dont have that much friends. the only friends i have is my wife and my wife's friends. now i can tell my wife that i have my own set of friends.... m mylot friends and it all started here. i am proud that slowly i stablished a friendship that i made on my own.

hi there msfrancisco, wow that so sweet, you must have a great relationship here with your friend, I am still starting with mylot, before 6 months ago I join mylot but because of work I was not actively joining the discussion, honestly I have regrets, I should have spend more time here in mylot than playing Games application in Facebook particularly farmville, farmtown, cafe world ,pet society and restaurant city, I must have spend time here, I remember you way back 6 months ago, when I made a discussion you always respond, thanks for that.
Anyhow I am starting to build friendship here, I was so thankful with mylot because as a starter in earning online I have so much questions and we have good friends here who is generous to respond to my Private message when I asked them.
thanks to you also msfrancisco and thanks to all my friends here and thanks to mylot..
MOre power all and Happy mylotting :)

Hi Dorothy,
i am happy to know that you appreciated the kind of friendship we established here especially when you are just starting here in mylot.
i tried to respond on to new mylotters discussions to let them feel that they have a family and community here. i feel the same way too when i was just starting here seven months ago. so, i am a month older than you. i feel great knowing that you remembered me responding on to your discussions.
i am happy that you are back. you can make up friend. you have all the time to do it especially in your spare time.

I have known MyLot as a Special Place to be for sure. It sounds like you have met some dear people here and that your friendships have grown to be very special ones.
I adore the unique meaning behind your friendship scarves and bless yourself and those who have so thoughtful shared with you.
Personally, I have not gotten to know my MyLot friends to that extent, where we would share material items, offline, outside of MyLot but congratulations to you and your dear friends, for the special friendship that MyLot has enabled you to experience. There are more than one way to enjoy spending time at MyLot. I enjoy MyLotting but also truly enjoy those whom I have met and conversed with and continue to converse with, via discussions here at MyLot.
I have enjoyed your discussion and knew already that MyLot is great.
Your discussion has once again confirmed that for myself and all other MyLotters. Enjoy your scarves. They look very extravagant and warm! Nice.

How sweet. Thank you for your comment too. I know what you mean when people we have become friends with seem to be elsewhere for awhile, leaving us wondering where they are. I have been know to leave Mylot for awhile as well. Not so much leave, just get caught up in other things so am absent but I always return as i am sure that your missed friends will also. Patience my dear. They will arrive when you least expect it. Until then, enjoy and keep posting.

Hi EvrWonder,
Thanks for your warm comments friend. WELL SAID! Imagine i can name people that i already considered friends here that i missed much because they've been out for awhile. i missed our exchanges of responses and comments where the friendship was actually developed. i know they are busy with lots of things but i hope they will be back and for us to be updated about them.
i keep in touch and praying that they will open their mylot account so they will see my PM. a friendly note just to keep in touch and let them know that they are missed!

I haven't received anything in the mail but there are three or four of the ladies here that now e-mail back and forth with me. They have become great friends that I cherish dearly, and one in particular has become my greatest prayer warrior! I can send her an e-mail about something that needs praying over and she is immediate about coming back and saying "I've already started praying".

Hi Carpenter,
OMG, that's great. Imagine your friendship reach the level of becoming prayer partners. i like that. you are assured that someone in this wide world is praying for you. and you made a good impact to her as it relates to establishing that relationship or friendship with God.i am happy to hear that friend!

Hi msfrancisco, congratulations. That is so sweet! And you attributing symbols makes it sweeter, but then, you are always so sweet. :) It looks pretty on you as well. I can understand you feeling overwhelmed.
I got so much moral support from some of the friends, and when it mattered. I cant be thankful enough to mylot for bringing such people into my life. :)
And so many sensitive and caring friends out here. :) I do hope we can meet someday. :)

Hi Vandana,
That's also my wish friend...to meet you and other mylot friends someday. if it will only be possible that we organize a general assembly of all mylot members it will be a great venue for all of us to meet and have fun. don't worry, nothing is impossible in friendship. let's believe that one day we will meet. you coming to the philippines or i will be going to your place.
for the meantime, please accept my warmth power hugs friend! thanks for your lovely and sweet words!

Hi Homeshoppers,
everything is possible with friends. i never thought that this will happen but when the scarves reached me...wow, this is it. a genuine friendship was established. even in mylot we already did established that friendship where we shared a lot about life, autism, parenting and all about life. i learned so much from our discussions and i am lucky for beng her friend and for being here in mylot.
