It drives me crazy when I start writing on myLot and totally forget about eating. Right now it's 6:15 and supper was ready at 5. I made a casserole and it was ready. Hubby and his son have eaten. I haven't even stopped writing long enough to get a drink of water. Maybe it's time, huh?
I know I have done this ever since I had Internet, whether it was surfing, chatting or page building...
The problem is I do it MORE now with MyLot. I just love this place. Thanks for making it! And thank you to all my friends who discuss stuff with me.

I know what you mean. This is why I discipline myself and get on here a few hours only for 10 or at least 15 responses. I used to do a lot more and then the laundry was not done, my husband cooked because I forgot to cook etc I like this site too and I also join other moneymaking sites which are not a forum like mylot, so that's why I need to discipline myself.

I find that I do that often too, or meals get pushed back until I am ready to get off the internet to get to them.

Thats really funny about you :). When my supper is ready and I'm still on my computer my mum's just like "Come over here the dinner is ready!". I wouldn't say I'm a MyLot maniac cause i spend no more that half and hour/day here. But still this a very cool place :D.

It's different when it's your mom or when you are the mom. If I call my kids for a meal, they take a few minutes to wrap up what they are doing and then they come to dinner. If I am online not fixing dinner, then they are not eating, or else they are fending for themselves. All the people in my house, except hubby, are pretty good cooks.

yea.. thanks to mylot.. now i'm even skipping my sleep just to get my first payout.. haha.. it's nice to post here.. but i think the rate is a little low right? when it comes to writing.. i hav to admit that me too will lost myself.. and i just keep writing.. because.. it's how i express myself.. how i actually get to understand others.. and also communicate with others.. of course.. it's not as effective as face to face talk.. but i still like them.. they're just great :) .. thanks mylot too.. hopefully they will somehow increase the rate since i skip my sleep =_=

You shouldn't be skipping sleep. Yikes. That's not even a choice for me as my body normally tells me to sleep at least 9 hours and I can't argue with my body. Although the rate here is lower than some other sites I have to say from my experience a lower paying site generally has a longer life and is more honest than one that promises huge payout.

I have never forgotten about eating but I have eaten only using one hand as I need the other one to repospond to myLot LOL. Maybe their could be a new diet called "The myLot Diet Site".

Wow-- you are dedicated- I would never sit here while my family ate dinner- They wouldn't let me anyways- We eat together as a family- The computer is not that important to me- At least not as important as my family- I hope you do not do this often- Think of the bonding time you are missing-
OK-- so I know you don't want a lecture from me-
I sometimes sit here when I should be doing other things- like cleaning for instance-- but hey wouldn't everyone rather chat on mylot than clean?

I also find myself doing that. Time flys by so fast when I am on this site. The discussions for the most part are great and I love to roam around and read the discussions. I also have been letting some of my housework go. Like dishes stack up. Not real bad but don't get done as often as they were before. But I think mylot is so fascinating that I would have to say I am addicted for sure.

You are not alone in this online predicament. myLot is so enjoyable and well addicted to the point of us forgetting other things to do in our daily lives. Wow, I don't know if we should celebrate on this hehehehe but at least we are sure that myLot has become a sort of an icon in our daily grind.
Hope you will never forget to cook and eat together with the family. Family is much more important than myLot of course.
Thanks a lot. Please make me your friend here.
