hi Mylotters as you know we all got paid today. I got a special surprise in my Paypal account. Some lovely mylotter and I cannot mention names as I do not want to get this deleted, gave twenty dollars to my account. In order to make this a discussion, has any of our mylotters ever done something similar for you? And did you thank them? this is a discussion and my profound thanks also.As some of you know things have been tough in my house right now. So again many many thanks.

I am new here. So, people are generous in here? They really give money? Anonimously?

Actually if you read back through the posts you'll see that it was a misunderstanding and she actually got paid for a survey she had done. Ppl don't normally "give" ppl money, on here you earn it [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]

Hi Hatley, What a lovely suprise that was. It is lovely to think that someone cares enough to do that and also for them not to even mention it to you before hand. There are many fantastic people on this site. I haven't received money but I have received a cream that I was finding difficult to obtain locally which was great to receive and it is definiely making my skin feel a bi better. Thank you to this person who cannot be named for helping Hatley at this time, you are very kind. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi Hatley, It was still a lovely suprise wherever it came from eh! Don't be embarrassed as it is the sort of thing many myLotters would do. Huggles. Ellie :D

Oh, Patsie - how wonderful!! Now THAT'S a great surprise!! I am so very happy for you. I wanted to ask, though. Does your son qualify for unemployment? That should help for a while, if he does. It's paid my rent since February, although after November, I haven't a clue what will happen since I still don't have a job.

hi sadly no as his ex boss queered that by turning in a nastyreport, it wasnt enough that he fired my son, then he had to go and do that to him. terrible man. anyway it turns out this moneyI got was from an old survey I did and never expected to get paid for it.

My old boss wasn't kind either, but I still got it. He can appeal the decision. I saw your new explanation, too. I'm still happy for you! I have a few ideas I'll PM to you, if you are needing whatever $ you can get.

No I have never received money as I have never given the impression that I was asking for handouts. I would also never give any money on this site(even if I had plenty) because I do not know if these people are really destitute or if it was just a scam. I do donate money ever month but only to legitimate causes. Actually I find the "surprise" to be really scary! How could anyone here on myLot know what your PayPal account is??? Did it get hacked? If not you must have given it to some-one here and then it would not be a "special surprise" would it?

hi whiteheather I have never given any such impression, I would never ask for money or handouts, I resent this implication immensely. I was open a bout my son losing his job and our having to move, but never ever have I implied I wanted a handout. thats dreadful of you to say that. I dont know how the person knew my account but I have some close friends here who pm me.and one who even found my phone number and called me to ask if I was okay when I had been off the net for three weeks. I am sure my paypal account was not hacked, and I did not give my password to anyone. no this was a complete surprise to me. the name did not mean anytghing to me as we mostly all go by user names here, yes it was a spe cial surprise. I repeat I resent highly the implication you have made here, I have never ever asked for anything from anyone here. Why are you judging me when you have never even met me and know zilch about me?

I was referring to myself but it was reading your discussion that me think that way. It still sounds like a handout/donation but a very generous one. Now for the most important part if you did not give your paypal account number to anyone at all then you MUST have been hacked!

whiteheather I know all that and I have never ever had a discussion deleted for any reason. I read the rules, and do it everyonce in awhile too. I still do notlike the assumptions you made about me at all.Like I said before I have never asked for any help from mylot except maybe a prayer or two but thats not begging and I dont know who this person was or why she gave me money or how she got into my paypal account. You seem to really have it in for me, why?

Awww! That's very sweet of your friend to do. I'm happy they were able to help. As for me, I've never received such a gift. I have given birthday gifts to a Mylot member. But she's no longer on Mylot. Miss her lots! Have a lovely day.

Hatley, that is wonderful. It's such a good feeling when someone shows that they care, especially when we were not expecting it. You are blessed to have someone who cares about you. And they are blessed to be able to help. Life is good.

Hi there sweetie thanks for the comment ha ha. You are all behind the times here is the link to her apology she did not get a gift from a myLotter who cared about her she earned it on another site!!. She does have enough class though to apologise. She decided to check it out after my response. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1741995.aspx

whiteheather I just want to s ay thank you as you evidently dislike me , you did say I have class, well Idid not "make up" the former discussion at all, I just 'jumped to the wrong conclusion as the name meant nothing to me, and I just assumed it was from a mylotter friend as the only thing given was just the name no other words. I later found out who this person was, so I apologized for making that error. I did not appologize for "making up anything" as I did not do that. You can think what you want of me,but I know what I am, and I am not what you so openly accused me of being.

I have never had anything like that happen to me. I think that whoever did that for you was someone really nice. You don't find many people willing to do something that nice for someone. I am hoping to get in enough discussions and responses to discussions to be able to get paid next time around. I hope that things get better around your house. I know how it is when things get difficult.

it's so good to hear about what some mylotters have done for you. all of us have tough times and it's good to have someone extend a hand. i'm sorry to hear about thing being tough at home for you. but this brought out the best in some mylotters. i'm sure they are feeling happy too that they are able to lend a hand. bless the good-hearted mylotters and hope things are getting better for you. to answer the discussion, no one has done something like that for me. i'm pretty blessed to have things going rather well for me. i do hope things will get even better so that i have the ability to do something like that for others too. cheers ;p

well the money is still money. in fact, i bet you feel better about getting it. after all, you've worked hard for it. actually i was wondering initially when you said it's from fellow mylotters. i can't think of how they would know your paypal email address. unless someone had offered to send you money and you gave your paypal address. just wondering out loud here. are things going better for you now?
