Like Arnold Swartzenheimer I am bac k. lol.

hi suebee yes I agree its just part of our modern life and so many here are cou ch potatoes just glued to the ever o n televsion. You wou ld think a computer would give them something substantial to do with their time.The closest place with free computers was the library aqnd its too far for me with having to use my walker to get around. thankfully my son was able to rebuild my computer and get me a new to me used computer.thanks for the welc ome. it feels so good to be back here again.I missed all my many mylot friends here.

Well, it sure saves money if you know someone who can help you out with computer repairs. I'm so lucky that I haven't had to take mine in to a shop for repairs yet.

hi I shudder to think how muc h this would have cost me to go to a repair shop. my son is a computer programmer but now in this bad economy he had to take an electronics repair job which pays less but it is a job and thats what counts now. I am a lucky woman indeed.

We missed you almost immediately! You are always here at the same time every day and on the third day I started sending out PMs until I finally got to GG and she went into action You have had your holiday for this year and now it's back to posting!

oh yes I read so many paperbacks and my eyes were smarting, and lord knows I just could not stoop to reading Harlequin romances, too much thge same for my taste. I sure did get a holiday and played bingo and read and fretted. glad to be bac k/

hi diana I read all the books I had not read downstairs, I even went for a walk, also cleaned out my drawers etc etc. but finally just asa I was running out of stuff t o do my son got my computer up and running again. now I cannot download my email mylot notifications but it seems to be a mylot problem so just come to t he tabs and work from there.I had thousands of emails but Robbie my son helped me by deleting a lot of them,. happy happy joy joy as ren and stimpy would say. lol

There was a discussion posted 5 days after Hatley went missing informing us of what had happened. I guess that you mussed it.

This one Peter: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2661085.aspx

hi petersum and dia na yes GardenGerty phoned me , that was so lovely and O told her how glad I was to hear from here as I was fine myself but my computer overheated, did a melt down and also my pride and joy my led monitor. I have a new used led monitor now. Garden Gerty promised me she would let other mylotters know, bless her heart.

hi chang oh yes I was healthy but my computer had a melt down and took the monitor with it., my son really did a great job rebuilding it from scratch and even getting me a new to me used led monitor \as my old one was shot t oo. I love the led monitors so light weight and nice big clear screens. wow.yes he used used parts and replaced just about everything in the computer, it had shorted and melted a whole lot of parts so had to start over from scratch really.

hi chang you know just thinking he myson d oes so much for me and a lot of times I really do not thank him and thats wrong of me.so will turn over a new leaf.

I guess it certainly took your son a lot of time to rebuild it,and that he had to do it in his spare time.Thank your son very much, we can talk with you again on mylot.

hi John as when I made this I still was not sure which spelling was right and of course I could have looked it up but got lazy. I was thinking of the Terminator and his famous line" I will be back" I think it is Schwarzenegger but need to look it up to be sure lol. well now my computer is working again I can look up things even if on our mylot search engine I never yet have got a reward. lol

PS Welcome back, of course, Auntie H!

When I saw "Swarzenheimer" on your post I thought it was your mistake, and then I found that that name is elsewhere on the internet (with different spellings) referring to the same person. On film adverts and for political purposes he's always Schwarzenegger, but -heimer appears to have come from somewhere, it's not just you. If he was originally called that, but changed it to -negger because it sounds more macho (not noticing that it also has overtones of political incorrectness), I haven't been able to track it down on the internet.

hi pointlessquestions yes its our link to the outside world and all my mylot friends and off line friends too. I am almost housebound account of having to use a walker and not having much of the green stuff we call money.lol.I have a completely rebuilt computer and a new to me used led monitor so am back in business again. hope to make my twenty dollars by June 30th and as always making money while having a lot of fun. I missed all of you so much.

thanks so much owlwings I sure did miss all my my lot friends and all the places I go everyday on the net. Its a sad thing how dependent our businesses are. when I worked in the library and the computers shut down the clerks had to do all the checking in and out of media by hand.once we even closed for a day as too much depended on having accessible computer use. I am also glad that at least I was in good health even if my computer and monitor both had melt downs completely. am glad my son could rebuild my computer and get me a new to me used led monitor. things are looking up now for me.

hi owlwings maybe because I mispelled Arnies last name? lol anyway I am back and glad to be. So there is a Schwartzenegg in /Austria and thats probably the best way to spell his name too.lol makes sense if you came from Swartzenegg you could be called Schwarzenegger for sure. lol.from some of the stuff he pulled as Ca's govenor he has been called other less flattering names too.

Hi Hatley, When I seen you on....I was like,wow!She's back!I am glad you got your computer back.It's a pain not having it What happened is,it seems this site has had some technical issues the past few weekends and this past Friday was the 15th and myLot is getting the pay ready to hand out and the site as tech issues then also. On Friday night I started a discussion which at first did not post and I received a note in red near the top to go back and try again.So,I did and it posted.A few minutes later I got an email,a notification from myLot saying that I had gone against the rules and duplicated the discussion.They only deleted one of them and during the weekend several people replied to it and I replied back.Then on Monday night I received the same notice and they deleted the discussion that remained from Friday and myself and several other's had worked on!

hi dfollin oh my gosh in other words they also deleted the sec ond one too, thats hitting below the belt. I think if you hit contact and other and asked why the second one was deleted you might be able to get it back again. I think two different p eople on the admins saw the two and each one deleted one not knowing the other had also deleted so I would sure ask why both were deleted. I am sure they did not want to delete both just because you had a glitch and got two for the price of one. when there is a fowl up like that hurry and hit the report button and report yourself as having two of the same discussion. this way its done before anyone can respond and you asked them to get rid of the excess one.that way you will not lose both discussions. sorry to hear of that. I am so glad to again have mycomputer working.

hi dfollin what happened, did you have a discussion deleted? hate when that happens but don't leave. I have a completely rebuilt computer and a new to me used led monitor too. both computer and monitor got fried, anyway I came back to a new glitch from mylot I c annot open my notifications from friends and work out of my email I have to come in here then it tells me there is no discussions under my friends tab? say what? thats a crock. anyway I am so happy to be back with my c omputer working again.

hi ElicBxn yes it is as until a few months ago my monitor was just so great. he took it apart and a bunch of capacitors were burst open as though they had overheated. he bought this monitor for me for Christmas in 2006 and at that time some company in China had sold millions of bad capacitors to computer and monitor companies all over the US and then in the years after a whole slew of computers and monitors had shown up with burned out capacitors all from this huge company in China. my son thinks these were bad capacitors to begin with and finally burst. you could look at them and see a plus like mark on each one where it had actually ruptured. so odd too. at least nothing caught fire in my room from the melt down. costly but still only half of what a brand new computer and monitor would have cost. I took two years of Spanish in college and never used it and now while I can read most of it I am not fluent in it at all.when I worked in the library the Spanish phrase I heard most often was "no habla Anglaise" meaning she did not speak English and did not read English either.her daughter translated for her as the kids do learn English in school but most of the parents refuse to learn it here. We in Ca do ha ve a lot of illegal Mexicans who used the library but knew almost no English at all

hi ElicBxn I have had some Mexicans say they cannot read English and I almost laughed as they said this in English but the kids do read it and speak it. so why cannot the parents try to learn it too? but I had my first child w hen I was 32, second when I was 33 eleven months apart but my s econd had some brain damage because it took them too lone to revive her, she was actually turning blue when she was born. but we loved her so much and only had her for 8 years. I had to have emergency hysterectomy following her birth. not good always to have children that late but thats the way it went.

Yes it was down for almost 2 days and I'm glad that it came back like you were back here also. Were so bored and been posting a lot in FB.

hio lynboobsy I am so glad to be back again and among friends too. am sorry to hear mylot was down for a couple of days making everyone frustrated that wanted to post and mylot

I got so bored and read almost all the paperbacks that made sense to me. I balked at the harlequin romances as they are too too predictable usually. love who dun its and mysteries. but love my computer more. lol

hi jdyrj777 i am the dubious owner right now of a printer that gobbles up money like there is no tomorrow. Its not connected to my 'computer and am glad as I do not have the money to keep it in ink.My son does not have any place t o put as he shares a bedromn with seveal other men. lol

hi jdyrj777 wow what a situation your printer would not stop and your computer would not turn on. I was off for a month I guess as it took three weekends to rebuilt this computer from scratch and get a new to me used monitor. the capacitors in my led monitor had burst open so it was a gone gosling indeed. my son bought that for me as a christmas gift in 2006 right when China had sold to American companies capacitors that went bad by the millions.so he thinks those were bad capacitors that finally just burst in my wonderful led monitor. I had really loved it as it was easy to move with a large screen and was not clumsy like the old crt one I had had. this new used one is also an led so should be fine for me now. am so glad to be back here though and mylotting again.

I bought my screen many years ago and its still working fine. Its only a 15 inch flat screen. It was $300. back then too. Sometimes i wish for a larger one but as long as its working i will use it. I think playing my game ona larger screen would be fun. I still never checked to get my printer running again. My son-in-law didnt know anything about them. But he said dont connect it to the computer again until it figure it out.

hi jazel juan thanks and I a m so glad to be back and mylotting among all my friends. my computer had a melt down as did my monitor so we do not know which caused which. putting in all new parts tookl my son three weekends as thank God in this rotten economy he has a job but I am good to go now and what a relief too.from hatley

hi jazel))_juan I think he really wanted to see if he could really rebuild my computer from scratch and he did it. oh there are still a few things left to do but I am on line and in business again. and alreadey made another dollar towards my internet cable bill. happy happy joy joy.

i am so glad he was able to help you ms.hatley.

hi janey glad to be back here and I missed you all so much too. I was so happy Garden gerty called me as I could tell her I was in fine health but my computer shorted out along with my monitor. men and remote controls , my hubby used to do that too and his taste in programs was not mine. lol lol for example Green Acres was one of his favorites and I felt it was the silliest most stupid of programs. I doubt if it has reruns it was that bad. lol

oh not as good as that really. I loved little House and the Waltons but the W altons got kind of syrupy after awhile.he he so you can hold your own, come to think about it my hubby would give in to me after a little while. He was so easy going at times I would like to pick a fight just to see if he would get upset but truly I loved him for his cheerfulness and his sense of humor I know as I read from other mylotters that a lot of women have hubbies that are not good humored or positive thinkers so I was lucky indeed.

Sounds like a cross between The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie and yes, John likes those two I'm afraid. Good in small doses and, to be fair, he doesn't inflict them on me at the moment. He wouldn't dare!

hi ravisivan I was just thinking about you visiting in my country and hoping you were having fun when I saw your discussion I think it was and you were talking about Detroit. hop;e y uou really enjoy being here in the U S. hugs from hatley

hi ravi oh my I did miss you. I heard about mylot having some down time so those were days I did not miss. today is my first day back here and am so happy. I can well imagine you feeling bereft with mylot down like that. I could use my computer sunday but he had not got the internet back on yet so was little I could do. so today I am a happy camper for sure

Hatley aunty: thanks. I was missing mylot for a day or two. in fact a few friends in India called and check up whether the mylot site was not operational for me also. thanks.

hi ambiepam thanks for that yep doubt if Arnold would be interested in mylot lol lol. I am so glad to be back and to be mylotting and trying to make my twenty dollar goal yet.I did not change my setting as my minumum is still ten. i feel if something happens and I do not make twenty will I will still get paid as long as its over ten dollars. lol.I use the earnings to pay down on my cable internet monthly bill.but the friendships and all the other perks of my lot mean more to me than even my earnings as I have real friends here and I missed all of you so much. I read all day u ntil I could get back here and was bored stiff too. loll

Yes, it was horrible, even though I was able to sign in once a week at the library, but that was for only an hour or two, not enough time to do much of anything. As for you admirer, I think that is so sweet..

hi carm he has told me several times I have pretty hair. its white now and I wear it long. thats the trouble with using computers in the library as the time is limited and others want it too.

hi yoyo yes its cable wired in our room s so I cou ld get cable tv and wou ld love to watch the Olympics lol

hi yoyo oh I would have loved to be able to cook. before when I was without my computer for awhile I did do a lot of cooking trying new recipes and it was fun. I also this time have read a lot and napped sitting in a comfy chair while others watched some awful crap on television.. months would really have done me in for sure.its harder here in this retirement center than when I had my own apartment. those were the days as the old song goes. think thats out of Fiddler On The roof I j ust remember "those were the days my friend, we tho ught they would never end." sad sort of but life has never promised us a rose garden. that we have to do for ourselves I guess.

Should you ever get your own television, would you have cable access in your room? You could probably find one fairly cheap at a pawn shop (have your son look around). I hate to see you without your own tv.

hi bunnybon oh IU did miss you and garden gerty and all my friends. she called me long distance and that was really neat. that way I c ould tell her I was well but it was my computer that had a melt down also the monitor too.I finally decided to go downstairs while it was sick and read. I also went to play bingo with friends here but I r eally wanted to be ba ck o n the net again.computers really are part of our lives now. I am finding mylot is not letting me download notifications from friends from my email so am using the tabs instead

thanks bunnybon I will try that. even if I have to do it with each one it would help.

oh my. my gremlins ate my comment now its time for lunch too back in awhile copy p aste its so good to be back and how much I missed'everyone on mylot plus not being able to check my online bank account and buy stamps and checks on line My computer in a way save my life when I was retired as i was so lost and felt useless like an old worn out shoe. I also keep in touch with my friends via email too. I try'not to put stuff off but my computer is really a part of me lol

hi Bluedoll y es they have but think I might have been remiss some way but still one of the fans was not working so that would have contributed to its overheating.So I am again having fun and will see more money in my payout as I got to participate in two days of quadruple earnings. lol lol

hi bluedoll yes its a part of me now, and am glad to be back on it and happy to once more talk to all my friends.Yes I got a lovely long distance from Garden Gerty so I could let everyone know I was not sick, but my poor computer did suffer a melt down.Yes I have real friends here and really they are friends too. some more so than some offline friends. I am finding that mylot is not letting me download the notifications from my mylot email. so I am going inside here and using friends tab to respond to their discussions.

Computers have been known to do that. Well it is good then there is more than one to do something. Hope you enjoy all your time again and have no worries in the doing of it.
