Your take on personal experiences

Thank You so much JJ again for BR!!...I'm so happy, what a way to start my day off, haha!...and a Full Moon to boot, lol! Yes, since I've been on Mylot there have been many times I'm just sitting here smiling, remembering something similar that happened to me or my kids, or a funny episode in my life that relates to the conversation. When you were talking about your hair flying around out of control, it reminded me of my youngest daughters hair...it's very long and down to her butt. When we are driving somewhere together with the windows down, and her hair is hanging loose, it flies in her face all the time and when she grabs it and pulls it back, usually a piece or two comes flying at me and lands completely across my face. I sit there grabbing at it, trying to remove it, and we are both just laughing our heads off. Isn't that funny how one thing just leads to another?, hahaha.

You're most certainly welcome! You are truly an inspiration to me!! I love reading your responses because they have so many personal experiences packed into them each and every time you leave a post. You always keep me smiling and laughing. I'm going to have to post more discussions so I can read more of your responses and dish out some more best responses! I read your most recent comment and could just picture you daughter's hair going everywhere, including in your face while you were driving! (LOL) The funny thing about your responses is that we became friends here on myLot after a little while and after I'd posted the majority of my discussions. To tell you the truth, I didn't really have many BRs because I just hadn't found "the one," if you know what I mean. You typed in your responses and BOOM!!! They were it for at least two of my discussions now. It's always exciting to see your name and avatar pop up here and there. (I love cats, too, by the way!) Keep up the good work, my friend. I will definitely post more discussions soon, many of which will involve some of my own personal experiences. Thanks again!

Too funny! Your response made me smile. I appreciate your friendship because I believe we have a common bond that we've found in several discussions so far (and many more to come, I'm sure)! I also like discussions about things that I can relate to but completely forgot about. I couldn't have said it better! You said, "What I like most is when there is a discussion about something that I have totally forgot about, and it puts a smile on my face..." I love when discussions can bring back the memories. That's what I really appreciate about being here! By some of the discussions I read yesterday, apparently myLot has been here for about a year. My question is, where have I been the last year?! (LOL) I should've been a part of this from the beginning. Oh well...I'm here now...and just babbling. Thanks for adding your wonderful response to the discussion. I can completely relate. Keep up the good work, my friend!

I couldn't agree with you more. I wish myLot were here long before I was alive. (LOL) It would've helping so many people, but I can now be happy that it's here helping everyone. I love helping others and seeing what they're going through because when it comes time I have a bad experience, they're there for me also. There's no place like myLot! I like what you're saying about different feedback on the same issue. I love that this is a place to help others and see friends be productive and successful! Thank you for your insight on this discussion. It's been a pleasure reading your response!

Thank you. It is amazing how many people here went through terrible experiences when they were young and because they all go the same message, that there was no help, that things went worse for them. I was unable to change because I felt I deserved what I got and when I did get the help, the damage had been done. Maybe by writing on myLot, we may prevent someone else from going through the hurt we did and the results we obtained.

A close-knit community is exaclty what I want to be a part of. It's funny to see you call me a "newbie." I've been a part of myLot since probably back in October or so, but I've (obviously) been taking my time getting points! (LOL) But thank you for the description. I have been getting to know many of my friends here very well. It's nice because those I befriend here end up responding to all of my discussions, so I see their nickname and avatar quite often. It's very neat. I thank you for your encouragement. I can tell you are definitely a friend to go to when in need. You sound very willing to help whenever and wherever necessary. I thank you for that and look forward to getting to know you as well as others here! Thanks again and keep up the good work.

I love how you said "the land of generality." I can tell you are a wonderful and experienced writer! Thank you for sharing. I also don't request myLot friends too often unless I can tell they have something in them that I'd like to get to know (such as yourself because I'm pretty sure I requested your friendship!) and so I can check out their discussions to respond to them. Usually I gain friends by them requesting me. I think it's such a neat system as people get in touch with others who share the same experiences based on these discussions.

Hi, Terilee! I agree with you completely. While discussions are usually based on personal experiences (which make them very unique and fun to respond to indeed!), we must be careful what information we share on the Internet. It's a creepy place sometimes! Like you said, there are people out there (unfortunately even here on myLot) who are looking to steal on identity or just to get some information about someone here are there until they're to the point of stalking them...or worse. I love discussions about personal experiences, but there's a point where the line must be drawn. Thank you so much for your input on this discussion. I found it very unique and interesting!

I agree with you 100 percent. Posting a personal experience in a discussion can make another person feel more comfortable after the person shared his or her experience. That allows them to open up when they respond to the discussion. As a result, all the people involved are able to gain something from the conversation and exchanging of thoughts and ideas. I never thought a website could be so helpful, but this is so amazing! Thanks for your input on this, Marketing. It's always a pleasure to read your responses.
