Would you let your family members read what you write on MyLot?

@JudyEv you cannot write the post if they have to see and approve

Good idea. I occasionally sent friends and family pieces from Epinions. But when I started writing on "the site that will not be named," I stopped doing that. Then I just kept up not doing it here.

I would be editing non-stop if I thought family and friends were reading my posts. Not that I am too unkind or blunt I hope but it would really stifle my writing to think they would see it all.

Nope I don't let anyone see what I write on myLot. It is my own little world here

A place to vent, write about whatever and have fun interacting. My boyfriend knows about my myLot but doesn't ask me what I write.. I sometimes talk about what I write and the responses I get, but not often.

Oh, I do that too. I might mention something I learned here, or someone I know here...but that's about it. Happily, most people are self-absorbed (me included, no doubt) and could care less what I write here.

@TheHorse I always learn something new and I share it with him, but he's not interested in online stuff lol

I don't mind what I write on here either.

I don't send stuff to Pretty, but she knows the site and does check to see what is happening sometimes. Once in a while, when someone says or does something hilarious, she comes into my room to find out what happened to make me laugh (or a few times, fall off my bed laughing).... LOL! Once, she pounded on my bedroom wall and yelled, "Stop laughing like that! You just scared the neighbor's kids!" (There aren't any neighbor kids close enough to hear me laughing. She was just playing.)

@TheHorse I laugh a LOT, pony! I usually have a big grin on my face, too... That is one way I defuse customers who are grumpy... It's hard to be grumpy when someone is smiling at you... I've been told my grin is infectious. I'm okay with that,

as long as nobody passes anything infectious back to me! LMAO!

@DaddyEvil In Northern California, I worry that people would think I was nuts if I was grinning all the time. I'm pretty friendly, though.

@TheHorse Considering you don't use your real name or likeness, I wouldn't think you'd have anything to worry about. I don't worry about it either, but if anyone wanted to look me up it would be fairly simple, unless they were hunting for the various others that happen to have my same name and seem to be writers too.

I have had both my sisters as members here but they've not been around for years. Now I'd not be happy if friends or family were members although I'd still say the same thoughts of thinfs as I get on well with all my family.

I'm quite sure none of my family is interested. Nor are most of my friends and colleagues. But I've done a few posts I wouldn't want them to see. It's kind of cathartic, I suppose.
