was more than a year ago. After that I became inactive, sort of went into a hiatus for quite some time. But I still come here from time to time, post a response whenever something gets my attention, and approve friend requests. I'm just happy that myLot is always here to welcome anyone who wishes to come back to enjoy the site again and again.
Have you been gone and came back to myLot? How long?

hi and welcome back. it's good to know that you too tried to come to mylot from time to time even when you are busy with other things. i also got inactive for sometimes and for times, i pop in and pop out.
i work for the government and it needs a concentration during office hours. but from time to time, i open my account and post some.

Hi Neil! It's been awhile since I've chatted with you here as well! It seems we all come and go, and at different times too so we miss each other!

Hi Neil,
Yeah, there is something in here (myLot) that keeps me coming back, no matter how long I've been away. Good to know that I'm not the only one who does this, otherwise I'd feel like the prodigal daughter . Working in the government sector can be very demanding, good thing you have myLot to fall back to at the end of the day coz it's a good antidote for stress gained from working all day. Have a good night.

I have done this several times, but I always seem to come back in time to post before getting my earnings down the drain. I can't remember the longest hiatus I've had, but I think it was atleast half a year. I am back here now, the money I earn here (I've already got over cashout as I didn't make it last month) will be going towards things I need and want. Mostly wants as I think that the money I make from my job can cover my needs.
In any case, I love that we can come back here, but it changing so much between hiatus' can be a bit.. discouraging.
How do you feel about the changes since your last visit?

Hi SomeCowgirl,
I haven't been able to cash out in a long time, I can't even remember the last time I did (note to self: check the earnings tab). I hope I can get mine soon, but of course I know that it all depends on me . Except for the the fact that I've seen fewer (old) friends who are active and there are so many new members that I'm not familiar with, I haven't really noticed the changes (are there?). Maybe I should be more observant? I'll look around more and spot the changes.

I guess I noticed a change by the lack of our old friends here. So many have become inactive, and I hate that. I rememebr having such fun on discussions, but not so much now. I'm hoping you can get your earnings too. It's always exciting to get payment from here!

Same here. I miss the 'old' members and their lively and fun discussions. I've made a habit of checking my friends discussions first before going to others, and there are really very few of them now. I hope like us, they find their way back here too. I'm also hoping to be able to get my earnings soon.

Personally speaking, I also have the same experiences as you. The latest one occurred about five months ago. At that time I just found another job and had to spend much time busy working. Since then I didn't submit posts until this month. But I still logged in mylot and read some posts when I had some time at weekends. I felt happy that during this time more and more people had become members of mylot.

Hi Simon,
It's refreshing to know that while leaving this site is sometimes inevitable, the thought that we can always come back and be active again is something that makes myLot special. I was surprised to see so many new members but somehow felt sad that some of my old friends are gone. I hope they too find their way back here.

Hi Princess,
It seems most of us have been on and off myLot. The good thing is, we can always come back. I don't play games on the internet though I get invitations to join, what I enjoy more doing on the net is reading...So to both of us, welcome back!

I have been a member of mylot since 2006, i think. Then after several months, I got busy and kinda forget about it. But there are still constant updates being sent by mylot through my email. It was just till last month when I decided to open it again and joined discussions again. Good thing I still remember my username and password.

Hi Shadjee,
Wow, 2006, that's a long time, good that you found your way back. MyLot is one of my online activities that's hard to shake off. I'm on and off myLot, but I was never really "gone". I may still be out of here again some time, but I'm sure I'd still come back. Welcome back!

hi doryvien yes mylot is great that way letting people come back after long periods of time away.I was away 11 momths as we ran into some huge problems which made us homeless and now I am here in this retirement center , my son finally has a job and is living only couple of miles from me so he can come see me weekly. being able to comeback here again and stay as a mylotter helped me through all the heartbreak of being homeless. mylot was also here when I was forcibly retired. Mylot has become my refuge and haven when I get
stressed out.welcome back doryvien and hope you can stay awhile this time.

Hi Hatley,
Sad what happened to you in the past, good that things are better now. I can see myLot is such an important part of your life, always there whenever you need company. I'm beginning to feel that way too. Whenever I'm down or upset and there's no one to talk to I think of myLot. This is such a therapy. Yeah, I intend to stay on.

Not for as long as you, oh no. But I was gone for about 5-6-7 months, something like that where I didn't come on not ONCE. Now I am somewhat back into it, a little bit here and there mainly - not as hardcore as I used to, but that's OK. For me it's essentially something to pass the time, which is totally fine and whatever. I have seen a lot of familiar names post a lot one month and then totally disappear the next month. "Life" happens, and we just can't control it. . Anyway, welcome back! Hope you enjoy it!

I used to be here like everyday and there's always an open tab on my screen for myLot even at work, so that I can post responses during breaktime - I guess you can call me a hardcore when I was new on my first year here. Then I got a little off the loop, but I still manage to post a few responses. What I've noticed is whenever I feel like I need a break, or just want to do something else, I think of myLot. Thanks for welcoming me back.

I've just been back here 2 days ago. My last post here should be around half a year back I can't remember. As usual, Mylot still welcomes people back and yea, it's something which I really like about it. Prior to my absence here, I've been on Facebook and I've even promised to stay here for longer periods but I didn't do it haha! But it's still good that I'm welcome here

Hi Judge,
Sort of what I've promised myself many times everytime I'm back at myLot, but I never really can't fulfill that promise. So now I've resolve to just enjoy my time while here, take one day at a time as they say. Good thing myLot never closes its doors.

The first time I started myLot I was active for awhile. Then I went into hibernation for two over months. Later I awoke from hibernation and continued myLot. Then stopped and later continued. This ding-dong like pendulum have been going in and out and in again.

Hi James,
Like a pendulum, I like that . Guess most of us go through that phase. I've been trying to be active here in the last 2 months though I can't really be religiously logged in all the time. I make it a point to visit here at least once a week. Thanks for dropping by.

Hi Aira,
It's always good to be back here, to see my friends again who are active and not-so-active and find that they're never really gone for good. I guess for most of us there comes a time when we feel like we need a break from something, even from myLot.

hi there,
it has been a long time too since i last made a discussion, maybe a year too. i would just rather respond to discussions now, because i think it is better, faster and more practical to do.
i just got back here too, maybe a few days ago. because i was reviewing for my Exams, then came back again but not for long. i went on a vacation again and just got back 2 weeks ago.
i like it here, that's why i keep coming back. though i have never made a cash out yet. but i trust in this site.

Hi Cherish,
For a while I was just happy checking the discussions and posting responses to those that got me interested. Like you, I prefer responding than making my own discussions. I just felt suddenly that I wanted to make a discussion, and here it is. It actually depends on the mood, but I plan stay this time and make more discussions.
