I survived 3 days without MyLot!

Good advise. Now help me out. I live in a very rual area, no body around. No friend or family out here. No car and no transportation. Stuck on my butt cause of my foot condition. Cannot keep reading and watching tv. What else can I do??????????

How impressive is that! Do you think you will be able to stay away from yours for longer periods of time? I actually find myself running to the computer in the evenings during commercials to play a game. I'm so hooked - it is way worse than smoking!~Donna

Welcome back, we, missed you. I can stay off my computer when I have to get other things done. But I do find myself putting things off so I can be on here. Also somethings just don't get done that I should be doing. But its winter time, its time for hybernating.

I catch my self on the comp for hours at a time. but through out the week i am often gone to my boyfriends house for 3-4 days, lol but when i get home i sure do make up for it. I am on the computer alot cause i dont watch alot of tv..so it makes up for lost entertainment. Sometimes i tell myself "your on this thing way tooo much" and i get off for a while and do something else...clean, read a book, exercise..

What you tring to explain in this paragraph. I think you trying to tald us to limit your computer usage time. what happens if we did good things and learn some good things in here. so we can earn so many things to our future and our present life also.

Welcome back and hope you didn't over do it during your friends move. You are right though, if a person is busy doing other things, then the computer isn't missed too much. I enjoy my time off of the computer because I work on it so much anyway with my job. Then finding time to be on MyLot is a chore for me, *laugh*. It's nice to have you back!

Thanks for good post which is very much required now, since it is festival season. Even I was away from mylot from 15/01/07 to 18/01/07 today ( 19/01/07) around 09:30 AM IST I logged in. I went my native place to attend my cousins marriage on 17/01/07 and I really enjoyed my native as well as the marriage.

I've been off the computer for several days also. I pulled the muscle that runs in your upper thigh to your groin. It was aggravated every time I sat at the computer...don't have the right kind of chair, I guess. So, I had to stay away! It was hard! I missed everyone! I missed typing and answering discussions...I'M ADDICTED! LOL! Besides, there have been so many times when I planned to only "get on the computer for a couple of minutes" and ended up staying for a couple of hours! Time sure passes when you're having fun!

Very good advice!!! I never allow myself on here unless no one needs my attention and I am between chores and activities. Spending too much time on the net is not good at all. There is life going on and your being passed up by it.

Welcome back. I've also not been on here as much lately due to being ill. Sometimes I love being on the computer other times I just need to get away from it. It's alot of fun being on here tho when I have the time.

welcome back.I am on my lot in the mornings before i have to go to work. Then in the evenings i get on again for a while .

Yah i too feel its hard to be without Mylot. I joined 3 weeks ago and i am now crazy about this site. I got to log in each day and post some replies. My day is incomplete without Mylot. It has become the part of my daily work. I always find time for it between my works..whether its late night or afternoon. When i am away from computer..i still think of it...Thinking of questions that i will put up on here. Mylot has changed me a lot...!!

Boy, I can relate. I found that was becoming obsessed with MyLot and had to back off a bit the last few days. MyLot is a great site, but there are other things in life that we can and need to do on a daily basis. lol

Very true. I find myself becoming addicted, because it is so much fun. You can do so many things on the computer. Soemtimes it is easy to get sucked in!

welcome back, lol, I too am addicted, but not solely to my computer, but to mylot, lol. I am addicted I swear, but I can take time away and survive lol. I find that if I am preoccupied else where it helps too, but all day long when I am cleaning house and caring for the kids I find my self coming back to the computer and to mylot alot. But I feel that if I manage to get my things done and the kids are properly cared for then it is ok, however I probably do need to pick back up on my sewing a bit more and leave the computer to rest some times :) lol

Tomorrow I start training for a second job. You will see me somewhat less. I missed seeing you around, friend.

Welcome back, and we missed you. I was off here in the last two days, I logged on to view some things, but that was it. I have been occupied with a job application and interview, and I'm on here right now to get my computer frenzy out of my system, and to ease my nerves....I have a 2nd interview this evening for a job I really want, and I'm nervous! I agree, you have to find some other hobby, or task to do to keep you busy.....even with 4 kids, a husband, a house, and a cat, and a lot of other stuff to do....I dont "feel" right if I dont get on the computer, and atleast check my emails, or mylot....or something....I feel as though I am missing something. Lately we have had to use our computer to view movies since our DVD player only works occasionally and is very frustrating....I was finishing up the Season 5 of 24, and then watched the new season that started Sunday/Monday nights....but as soon as it was off....I automatically went to the computer....turned it on...then my husband said....lets watch The Sentinel....and I gave in....but didn't regret it. I love to crochet...and I haven't in about 8 months since I've been doing so many things on this computer...do they have a group for computer addicts? I may need to find that out and receive some help..LOL!!

I think that I would have gone crazy without my computer for 3 days, although if you're busy and enjoying the company of friends it's different. It's not like you were home and couldn't use the computer because it was broken... That's when it would get to you. I have to set limits for myself, also. I could literally spend hours and hours here if I let myself. I get going on one thing that leads to another then another... That's why I don't do it right before bed anymore, because then I'll lay there thinking of things that I want to do online. You're lucky that you're talented with crafts; at least that gives you something productive to do when you're not at the computer. Congratulations on quitting smoking so many years ago, by the way! I quit 4 years ago, and it's the best thing that I could have done for myself.

A very interesting post. I do notknow how many ofyou have observed one special feature tothis post. Most of the people who have responded here do have a 10 star rating. Nice to see that . I am at 5 still.but Iam also a pc addict. My work get divided. a bit of forum,some SEO content,my favourite web sites , abit of blogging etc.Soi do not get bored. We need to appreciate the sincerity of the mylot members especially women.

I am glad you are back. I missed you. I keep pretty busy with volunteer work on a regular basis. I run a nonprofit foodpantry for low income families and that keeps me pretty busy. I love helping others. There is no better feeling than knowing you made a difference in someone elses life.
