I fear that today will again be another last day for me here

I think most of mylot users are really dependent on their internet connection as they have online jobs like you. I am actually prioritizing bills to pay. I want to make sure I pay the electric bill first. Lucky for me I still have internet connection for today. I hope I could make it in time to pay before I get cut off. Thank you very much for the concern.

I am so relieved that I still have connection as I woke up today. It probably isn't my cut off date yet, so I still have time to look for ways to pay it. It's nice to hear about your concern. Thank you very much!

I am grateful that I am still online now. That's really a big relief. I am actually in the process of something to pay it, and hopefully I could come up with the amount by tomorrow. I appreciate the concern.

I have actually been asking myself what I would probably be doing right now if I was disconnected, as I was expecting. Like you, I have grown so accustomed to having the internet so I think it will be hard living without it. I know I can live though it just don't know how. It's a good thing though that I'm still connected. Whew!

I would like it better and I pray that I wouldn't get disconnected at all. I just want to avoid the extra processes, like applying for reconnection and waiting for a day or two to have it reconnected again.

i know you'll get through it. when it gets disconnected, and you pay the bill, you'll be able to come back and enjoy it again

The internet now plays a major role in many people's lives. As you have said, even children's lifestyle already includes the internet. To most, it's part of their job while to some it is just a part of the daily routine in life. I did experience having no Television for almost two years and that made me independent of it. Before that, I would waste a lot of time watching anything on that box, but now, I rarely watch any TV show. I guess sometimes we have to be apart of this habit to realize more important things in life and to actually learn the value of n these things as well. Thank you for sharing.

Good ol' times, I love to call them. Those were definitely the days. It seems unfair though that this generation will never see beepers and cassette tapes in action.

My kids were born when internet already exist. They're teenagers now and they often wonder how did I go about without internet when I was their age

You are lucky to have other hobbies outside the internet. I do hope you do well on your job and won't have to suffer the lost of internet connection. Thanks for sharing!

Our city is experiencing daily rotational blackouts too, so I know how it feels to have no electricity for more than an hour, just plain boring and irritating. I am not comfortable browsing via smartphone and carrying around laptop, plus there are only very few establishments here that offer free wi-fi connection. I guess if I get to desperate times, I would have to go to places like these just the same.

Going back to reading was actually one of the options I had in mind when it does happen. Fortunately, I'm still online now. I was also thinking of watching most of the movies and TV series I have downloaded. I really want to keep this connection so I'll be making ways. Thanks for sharing and for the concern!

I would if I knew they could offer this, but to the best of my knowledge they wouldn't at all consider such plea. Our city is small and we have only Two main internet service providers here, them being the one on the lead. I doubt that they would consider any appeal or discount. Anyway, thank you very much for the concern and suggestion. As of now, I still have connection so I'm still okay. I'm actually making ways to get enough to pay it, probably tomorrow, that's me really hoping.

I am happy to know that you are one of those that live life enjoying the simple gifts that are around us and not entirely engrossed with the technological world that man has built. I love doing those things before, but now it seems that I have become too dependent on the norms of today. I wish I could get back to those and just be happy and content again. I miss the time when I would spend hours reading a novel, go out with friends on a nature trip, hit the drum set and play live music with them, get involve on a team sports, and all those things. You are right about people's option now between gas or computer, and food and computer, and things like that. Thank you for giving me back the options that I clearly have missed.

In that case, internet connection is one of your daily needs. I really believe that the internet now plays a major role to most, especially to people like you who have jobs that depend on internet connection. My friend wanted to recruit me as an online English tutor but I declined because I was not confident with my skills and afraid I would let her down. Maybe, now I will give it a try seeing that I have not much option. Anyway, how much is your average income in this job of yours? If you don't mind me asking.

Thanks for the advice. It wasn't like this before. Things just got bad when my business started dropping, so now I'm on a bad side. I know I need the internet so I'm going to have to make things meet.

Back when I was younger and internet was a luxury, I would have lots of things to do on my free time, like reading books and other hobbies, but now it seems to me that, like you, I can only think of spending my free time in the internet. Not only free time but almost all of the time. Thank you for your concern!

I am not sure what you mean by going back to dial up. I mean, is there still such a connection? Anyway, I do thank you for your concern and suggestion. It seems to me that most of the responders, like you, are dependent of the internet as well.

I was so relieved to see that I still have connection as I woke up today. I was already worried too much and really didn't know what to do if I had no connection. It seems that it isn't my cut off day yet. I am now preparing things to help me settle some bills, as I am prioritizing the electric bill first. I did think of borrowing money from a friend but I didn't know who could lend me, because I know most of them are also in tight positions. I just hope I could work this thing I am onto now and have a little profit to pay the bills.

I very much appreciate your desire to help. I never tried earning online on other sites except here in mylot, cashgopher, and the local buy and sell site that I have been actively doing business in for years now as well. I have read and heard many things about other sites, mostly negative so that somehow influenced my judgment on trying them out. I am sure that you have some good tips and I would like to hear some of them. If you want to reach me I could probably give you one of my emails. Just contact me via P.M. Thank you very much for your concern!

I am very happy and relieved that I still have this internet connection today. I don't know what my day would be like today if I had no internet, but I'm sure it won't be a good one. It seems that it isn't my cut off day yet. I don't know when it will be but I'm sure it must be anytime unless I pay it. So right now I'm onto something which I hope would work out so to gain some cash which I could really use to pay some bills. I don't think there's a way to negotiate for an extension with my ISP, but I do appreciate the concern. Thanks!

That's sad to hear. I hope we both find a way soon to be able to pay the internet bill. I am onto something right now, which I hope would work out. The cash I could get would help a lot. It's just a small sideline, but good enough. Our city is small and there are only few establishments that offer free wifi. I also feel uncomfortable bringing a laptop around town, but your suggestion is a good one. On desperate times, I would go to such places, or just internet cafes. Thanks for sharing!

There is a lower plan but this connection is under contract and I think it is non-changeable, plus I don't think the lower plans are any good. I am actually onto something now which I hope would bring me extra profit, which could help me pay some of my bills, I hope. Thank you for your suggestion and concern.

Ah yes, those back ups prepaid kits. For some that could really help but as for me I just don't like them, probably because of the speed. I also do not want to spend loading it since I know I will not enjoy the connection. It still is a good idea, but just not one I would prefer. In your case, I do understand however the importance of having this. Thanks for sharing!
