For sure ocean. during the past years I have been around, I have got attached to so many of these souls. Missing out on even one of them seems like a personal loss to me. I am glad that you did share your email with me and now we are better in touch - if anything goes wrong again, at least we can find out if either of us is doing good. I agree, I am lazy when it comes to contacting, but still, I do see it as something positive.

I'd choose not to put anything, another reason why I removed my blog. Someone asked me to leave my contact number through PM. I didn't reply. I prefer no interactions outside myLot.

You have my email address Sid! One of my friends here told me that when mylot returned he hardly got any respond and quit on mylot. He asked for my email address and we are keeping in touch with each other there. I'm sorry if I don't respond fast on email sometimes. It's because I hardly open my gmail. I use the same email address for my hotmail account too so you can also contact me there.

One of our friends here, I found her on Facebook (because of the group). But she has only a very few friends (5 or 6) and unfortunately, none of them have responded to my need - at least they could drop in line only to say she is doing fine.

During the small time you were away, I dunno, many might have missed you for sure. I would say I did but I doubt if that would hold. You see, when you have nowhere to go and stay 24x7 at home and in front of computers and online, and on a site like Mylot, like it or not, you start getting attached with those whom you interact almost daily. A set of friends. [Initially, I believed it is just something Indian, but no, I was wrong as I did realize many from West too feel same - and most of my friends here whom I stayed connected over FB are from West.] I will keep looking out for your FB link and will send you a Friendship request to start with for sure.

I have been meaning to set up a FB account for my online friends (I've been saying that for YEARS). The reason I kept anonymous all this time was to keep my personal and online relations VERY separate . . . as I often vent about the personal relations

to my online relations!

. Oh help me should all the stories leak

So this prompts me to do it sooner rather than later. Of course you can PM me anytime here - and I shall let you know as soon as I set something up. And I hope I can somehow leave instructions so if/when the time comes, my friends here can be informed about little ol' me. I'm sure you would want to know the truth should I happen to overdose on coffee and chocos

. I know, I have lost some friends too. It's good to know rather than "wondering" as we often assume the worst.

Yes, Facebook is a boon. Most of us have accounts there. and the better thing is that there is a Group created by Lamb, and it has many of us as members. Also, there is a document available which can be handy to identify who is who - many use a different name here and finding them at Facebook gets difficult without their link. So this document provides us info about their FB names along with their names here and when Bubs existed, there.

Professor was a very loving soul. I recall meeting him once at the railway station - he had informed me of his departure time, and I along with my wife had been to the station to meet him. We were also in touch over phone and he would always ask me about my wife too. He had too many ailments. And one day a PM from another Mylotter (who is also on FB - tigeraunt, if you remember her) mentioned that his health was critical. I called him up but it was too late. I even remember it was Jan 7th. I wished I could have gone to spend some hours or days at their place which is about 500 kilometers from here.

@SIMPLYD Yes, I did expect Kalyani mam to be around maybe after some months but you know things are much complicated in Indian Households specially with their age group. Maybe she finds the memories of Professor here and so she did not re surface or even, maybe she does not know MyLot has started paying again.. On another note, I havent seen tigeraunt, jaiho back on newer Mylot and even on Facebook, both of them are not active. Jaiho had some deaths in her family just about the time when MyLot had restarted and folks were coming in, and even posted a discussion about her return and delays. But that is all. I feel worried at times and think of contacting them via Messaging at FB...

Gheee, I'm so sorry you've suffered such losses, that isn't fun at all. I vaguely remember when I first joined, it didn't make any sense at the time so I didn't come back for years. I love this new format though, discussions are so much more fun than the old Gather or Bubblews format of posting and getting credit for comments made to the post.

I remember a few interactions between us on the earlier Mylot. I am glad that you are liking this newer format and yes, though it took a while to get accustomed to the newer format (old habits and preferences take time to die or overridden by the changes), I do appreciate it too. I have no issues with the format. But then, some friends who are older in age 9say above 60) did find things difficult and also had other things at hand. Hence they left. I wished they came back and stayed to get tuned to the newer look and feel.

@jaboUK I wonder why I always feel scared of responding to you despite the fact that I follow you here. If you do not mind, I somehow had an impression that you are more of the non interactive types - as I did see some of your responses earlier being just one liners. But our recent interactions on the two discussions (this and the other one) does make me feel that I sincerely misinterpreted you. Right now, after these interactions, I do feel you are just one of us around, and you are as caring a friend as many others whom I have befriended here.

Some who do it for money (I am sure you are not) tell that making money via blogs is becoming difficult with each passing day. Though you have small number of posts, I do believe you have been busy elsewhere and as such the blog seems to have been ignored for a while. I do hope that you get your mojo back as your niche is quite good. Not many blog about horses and mother nature. I loved the pen name on your blog.

On another note (about the rules)- yes, I understand, but between closer friends, I think they can and should share the contact information via PMs. Unfortunately the newer version of MyLot does not have too many profile customization options like they had earlier. Probably they do not want any sort of spamming or even referral links on this site now which is all good to many
