MyLot is quiet, where is everyone?

I realize it is Monday and many people have gone back to work.....but....there is usually a lot more action here during the week than I'm seeing today. It is way too cold out for me and I thought I've have a lot of company here at myLot, but I guess I was wrong. I even watched some TV with my husband I got so bored! I popped back in here and not much new to read. It might be time to find something else to do for a while until things pick up.

I doubt that everyone is back at work. I am, but I have a few minutes between doing things to take a peek and respond.

I think schools are back, but I'm not sure of that either. Thanks for responding, as least I know you're alive and kicking.

Yes, it is too quiet for my tastes. The excuse used for the Christmas holidays is not valid anymore, so where is everyone?

@AbbyGreenhill I have spent most of life travelling in that direction, so it is not likely to be a new experience for me.

It is evening here and I have not been on all day (hardly) because as offices opened again today I had some phone calls to make and some loose ends to tie up that were hanging abpout since before Christmas. My 'students' also came back today too. Schools go back here in Italy on Thursday though as Wednesday will be our last holiday (Epiphany). I am wondering if the earthquake in India might have kept some people offline and maybe not through choice either.

@ivyparkgirl @AbbyGreenhill Yes it was 6.7 magnitude and you can read here:
An earthquake measuring 6.7 magnitude has hit north-east India, near the borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh.

@mysdianait Oh my goodness, but I still didn't see it on the news, guess it wasn't 'important' enough.

I have found that first Monday of the year very calm and I have been surprised, this morning, to see that that was the day I made more since the beginning of the year. Weird.

I'm sitting here waiting for my sister to arrive. Her and brother and brother in law will take my Mom off. Possibly the last time I will see Mom. They're up on the mountain Pass right now, waiting for the roads to clear so that they can get through.

Why are they 'taking her off"?
• United States
5 Jan 16
@sallypup I have never heard anyone use the term 'imbibe' related to TV....I guess your mom does need a better place.

@AbbyGreenhill We live in too remote a place for Mom's comfort plus we do not choose to imbibe in TV. We do listen to National Public Radio and we did check out DVDs for Mom. Not good enough. And the matter of getting her to church at night when it is cold and roads are weird. Just not a good match. And due to worsening dementia, very moody Mom. Very hard on hubby and me's relationship.

Things have been very quiet. Perhaps people are realizing that the earnings potential is very low and they have decided to go elsewhere.

@ivyparkgirl the question is how long will it take to reach payout and with what kind of effort?

The other thing I have noticed is that the discussions are boring, not subjects that make good conversation.

@pgiblett I started here mid-August - this is the quietest day, other than Christmas, that I can remember.

It seems that question is asked every day by someone! I never find it quiet--as long as there are 5 people posting discussions it isn't slow if you interact with them.
• United States
5 Jan 16
I interact with way more than 5 people and I'm on here 6-7 hours a day. Maybe I'm used to more action than you are.
