I took a little break this week from mylot. Between working, getting ready for my mother-in-law's upcoming visit, and a new swimming pool, I haven't been getting on mylot or even the computer very much. What is the longest "Break" you have taken from being on mylot or the internet and why?

The longest that I have taken from the internet and from mylot was almost a week. I went on a summer came on the month of April and I really enjoyed my time there. I missed mylot so much that when I returned I posted more than one posts on that day.

I have not been away from the internet for that long in years and I do not intend to be gone that long in the future.

Well, back in like November we had a bad storm, and we were first without Electricity due to the Storm, and then it took like 3 more days for my Internet to come back on. So that was like 5 days I was offline, and not able to get on myLot. I was having Severe withdrawals for sure. Since then, I have purchased a Dell Laptop and have it for Emergencies, vacations, etc when I get a chance.

I can't imagine being without the internet for one day let alone 5. That really must have been rough.,

The longest break I've taken from the internet is 10 days. I was in the hospital with pnemonia. Let me tell you there were some days where I really missed it. I missed talking with all my friends and getting the emails. I was so glad to be back home and have it with me again.

The longest break I've ever taken from Mylot is 2 months. I actually just returned from my so-called hiatus. I guess I just got too lazy answering some of the questions. I also got a bit busier with my business so it's only now that I'm posting again. As for the internet thing, I think I can't be away for more than 5 days. I rely on the internet so much to keep in touch with my clients and to check some of the finances.

The longest time I've been away from mylot probably is around two weeks. Something happened to the configuration of my dial-up to the internet and I had a hard time (frustrating) connecting. After awhile, I recently got the flu, and I have been feeling weak, tired, sleepy and just decided to ignore my problem with my connecting to the internet. Now I had it fixed and I'm back typing here at mylot, and my health is improving, although still kinda tired (third day of my flu).

I go online every day. The breaks that I take are when I go out of town to softball tournaments (my daughter plays) or when we go on vacation.

Well I'll have to answer this question in two parts. I took a leave of absence for 2 days oner time to go up to the farm and get some important papers I needed for my father. That break I took of my own free accord. Now I also just recently took a 6 day break. This one break was not on my own accord. I was banned for that period here while myLot did some investigation into photo uploading abuse. I upload a lot of photos so they checked me out as well as others. My guess is that there were a lot of copyrighted photos being posted. The ones I post are all personal ones that I take myself. But all is good as far as posting them again. I wasn't pleased with their choice of the ban but I understood it fully. So the photos being added here ARE not an issue for me nor anyone else now days. Thanks for the discussion also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I don't recall taking much of a break, I'm here almost every single day.
