Not knowing what the problem really is it is difficult to categorically offer to donate our myLot earnings. If only myLot told us what is ailing them that would certainly help us start a dialogue in the right direction.

If only myLot opened up and shared their problem with the community as I said in my response perga then and only then can we take the next step.

Maybe we could buy stocks from them. After all, this is business

I too love this forum;but as mysdianait has pointed out I would not do such a thing; strangely the thought of this site closing down never entered my calculations; I just took it as a system glitch which would get rectified.It has happened twice within a week now and perhaps you do have cause for concern.

Dearest Pergie, I was all for it when I read your post, but then, thinking about it, I discovered that I was not looking at the whole picture. I already posted most of this as a comment to Diana`s answer, but for me this is important. I have been very worried about my lot (mylot) in these days, so I lost perspective. I work every day a little while at freerice.com because I`m aware that there are 2 billion undernourished people in the world. Freerice is about each of us donating a bit of our time each day so that people can eat. If we all do it, rice will be donated to hungry people. The WFP also works in other levels and sometimes I donate $5 which means a lot in poverty stricken countries. Now, after reminding myself of this, would I donate to mylot? And in spite of all that mylot is to me, I say no. We can take care of ourselves, mylot can take care of its finances. A little over than 2 years ago, we had a very big earthquake in my country, a lot bigger than Haiti`s. But I still thought that Haiti needed help a lot more than we did because we have more means than they did and do. It was then, and now, a problem of perspective. I love mylot: let`s hope nothing bad happens to our favorite site. I`m addicted to it: it`s my favorite site and I have great friends here. Yet there are still people dying of hunger in the world. THere are still people with no homes. There are billions who wouldn`t know what a computer or internet is: they are worried about keeping alive. I don`t know how many of us work and play here. Let`s imagine how much it would be if each of us gave one of our cents once a day for them. I rest my case.

My country is also reasonable well as economics go. But I shiver at the difference of earnings between the very rich and the very poor. Fortunatly, our climate is blessed. Temperature is mild so it´s not easy to die of too much heat or too much cold. I can throw some seeds in the garden and they come out (in fact, every year I have to "clean" the young apricot trees that have come out from the seeds that I throw away while eating apricots from the tree).
Mylot has also made me rich in international friends, you among the very best ones (I should send you a couple of goodies to your mail as you do to mine
). I have learned a lot here in the best possible way. But still, if my stingyness lets me donate (sometimes it does), I have other priorities. Besides the WFO, the only other place I donate is a fundation for children with cancer. I lost a grandson years ago and that´s my most important charity. A hug for you. Now I´m going to make a post with a picture of a salad I made for my birthday

In that case, count me in BIG SIS and if ever- I could reach there add mine share too. But I am not sure how long would it take! For the time being I am trying to reach to 200 posts so I that could use these yellow things known emoticons. I am missing these 'cause I can't display my emotions (hugs, hugs- hugs) But I am an advantage you know I can use more than three per post. (hugs and regards)

hi pergammano your thoughts are great but truthfully I have no extra money to give to anyone as I have just 128 dollars left over out of my social security and ssi checks that the greedy owners take first each month to take out the monthly rent and food costs over one thousand dollars a month. so pocket money is 128 and out of that I pay cable net bill of 41 collars each month and phone AT and T for 8 dollars plus my copay on my meds so I usually have ten dollars or less left at end of each month. I wish I could afford to give up a payment to mylot to assure it keeps on really perking for us but I
cannot do it financially.I do think with all the backers mylot has that she is not going broke financially at all. but hope she can soon'
repair all thats currently wrong with mylot.so while I think your
idea is great, I cannot join as I run o ut of money before month
ends.[

I wouldn't mind to give up a couple of payouts if it meant staying in touch with my dear friends here. I have missed you a ton. I have not been able to be here but I have the next two weeks off from work so you all may be seeing more of me than you want
My daughter is getting induced Sunday night....hasn't the time flown? It seems just yesterday I was announcing her pregnancy. Has it been 9 months? wow.

For you, pergammano, OK, I would!
Ah, but I know there is never a guarantee for a glitch free site
+. . . there are oopsies everywhere - even with companies who are financially stable. My friend has a job to test out various programs for glitches - it seems to be a never ending task!
Oh, but surely there is a guarantee that good friends are thought of when cyberspace goes haywire! Being online is my window to the world for sure . . . and even though there's always email or Facebook, myLot has become a special hangout with special friends.
Without myLot, there's definitely a void in my day (and night) . . . yes, as if I were cut off from my special world!! Where art thou, fellow peeps like pergammano, hope all are doing well!! Makes me appreciate the days we ARE here with a hitch or glitch!!

Oops - I just realized I should have put withOUT a hitch or glitch at the end of my comment above - sorry about that!!!
Hee hee - yah, Facebook can sometimes be trouble! That's why I keep Facebook and peeps on myLot separate . . . 2 totally different worlds!
Oh, RozAnn is so nice too! Really, is she like crazy "Lamby" . . . oh my gosh, just don't tell me she IS Lamby - ha ha!!!
You take care too . . . PM me whenevers!!! Always good to hear from you!

That's very nice of you dear pergammano
I probably would had I been earning in myLot. For several months now I was able to reach my payout because of work.
When I thought I was banned from myLot during those days, I also wished I have myLot friends on my YM so that I can just buzz them and start asking what's happening on myLot.

Although I'm *very* new to mylot I can already see why you're saying this, mylot is a fantastic concept and has an amazing community but the interface is hardly *ahem* incredible. I would galdly donate a payout to mylot b(but not my next one, there's a few thing I need on ebay ;))
