How long could you go without logging onto MyLot?

Now that I have become a regular visitor to MyLot, I am finding it hard to stay away. I wonder how long I could go without logging on. Could I go a full day? How about 2 days? A week? A month? I am not sure that I would have the willpower to keep from it more than a day. How about you? Be honest.

I just recently got to find out. I lost my internet last Saturday and I just got it back on Thursday. I about went crazy.lol. I thought they shut me off because I am a little behind on the bill so I never called them. My boyfriend went up to pay them and they said they didn't shut it off. They were going to send out a service guy on Sunday. They gave us some suggestions as to what to try. We did and nothing worked,so my boyfriend dropped it on the table. Just as I was telling him that wouldn't help, the lights on the box came on. It worked.lol. The first thing I did was log onto mylot. I hope that never happens again.

I haven't gone a full day without spending at least 1/2 hour here, but usually it's much longer, since I joined. It's just part of my routine now to read a few discussions, post a few responses, and then do something else for a while... then I repeat the process! It is kind of addicting. I feel like I'm missing something when I'm not here!

Well the longest I've been from logging on is two hours..hehe! Weekdays I'm logged on the whole day, but weekends since my hubby is home I log on and off from time to time. My hubby tells me often that I'm addicted to myLot, but I enjoy it and consider it a good addiction:) Hope my interest stays this way for a long time to come.

If I had my way I could sit here all day and only take breaks to pee and poo. I don't even know that I would have to eat or sleep. But...Disability only pays me so much and there are meds and food to buy (because I do have to eat and drink if I am going to pee and poo. Not to mention, I have daughters and a partner that I love and household chores, and a Tupperware business that I am working so very hard on to make it fruitful. It saddens me the days that I can't come around ~Donna

If I'm at home, I don't think I could go for one full day without it. If I go on a trip, then that would be different and I would not be able to log on. But I am sure I would log on and try to catch up as soon as I got back home. This site is very addicting.

I am here everyday, even if its only for a few minutes. I haven't been able to be on much this past month with the hustle and bustle of the holidays. The time goes by so fast when you are in Mylot. I spend alot of time reading what everyone is saying. There is always something new going on. I have to log in everyday. I would pobably go thru withdrawels and get the shakes, haha.

I don't know if I can get away from mylot for more than 2 days. Because I remember when we went to visit my in-laws, it took me two days from not logging on to mylot and the third day, I asked if I can use the computer and I logged in and answer few posts. It's just addictive, I don't know how to stay away from it for very long.

My husband thought I was crazy when I logged on at a friends house.

frantic computer  - addicted to mylots
My really busy times at work are Friday and saturdays. I have to go to bed early the night before and go in to work a couple of hours earlier, so I usually have to stay off the computer every thursday and friday night. Gasp! Sometimes I just can't help it and forego sleeping for getting on the computer! Does that mean I'm a helpless addict? LOL

If you find you need a quick fix, yes I am afraid you are addicted.

Oh my gosh...a day at the most probably, lol. Isn't that horrible? I have to do like 1-2 responses at a time, because I cannot sit here all day long, My 2 year old would be destroying my house, but I know that I definitely couldn't go more than a day! I would just miss so much, ha ha ha!

I log in most days, some days I stay a few hours other days just a few minuites, I dont think it will take over my life lol To be honest sometimes I find it hard to find discussions That I want to reply to, other days I find lots! I surpose it all depends on what kind of mood I'm in or If I have the time to sit here and Type.

I really don't know what it is about it that has such power over us. Some people just feel the need to connect to the world and MyLot gives them the opportunity to do so. What we really need to do is reconnect with our life.

Depends on the situation. If my family was home, I would not even think of mylots. I am here to make some money and for company. I love to write and this is a place that I hope to learn more about and them publish my writing. Yes, I have the willpower to stay away if I have a good enough reason. My family is all the reason that I require.

If my family is visiting, I am not on the pc. But, once they leave I can't wait to boot up the pc. I once was a fanatic for Oprah, and now could give a flying fig.

I can go about a day or two, like the weekend. When I am online, I always have a window up for mylot no matter how long or short I am on.

I can barely stay off it while I'm at work, so 8 hours is hard for me!

This is a very good question. Since starting here at mylot I find myself rearranging my schedule around each day just to make time to visit this site. I honestly don't know if I could make it one whole day or not. I do know that I could not make it a whole week without logging on. There are just so many interesting articles on here all the time.

Well, let me tell you - twice today I've had trouble accessing the site, and it's just lucky that i was busy trying to take care of other things at the same time or it would have driven me nuts! *laugh* I kept getting a blank page when I would try to log in. I emailled Mylot about it earlier and thought it was fixed, but then it happened again for a few minutes. But now all is well. And even that short amount of time where I felt like I couldn't access the site was not fun! LOL! ^_^ Now, there will be days when I won't be able to be on here much next month. And once the summer comes I may not be here at all? But for right now I am so addicted and I can't imagine spending an _entire_ day away! *laugh*
