I know that everyone cannot always be on mylot because most of us have offline jobs or another life offline. With that being said, how many of you were ever away from mylot? But more importantly, why were you away? And for how long? I have heard of several deaths and other family related problems. I know there are a couple of travelers who do not always have internet access where they go. Many of us have offline jobs and some I have seen are students who become very busy near the end of a semester or trimester. If you have ever been away at mylot, how long were you gone and why?

Hi there snam! Well, there was a time when Paypal is not yet available here in the Philippines and I was getting paid through e-gold. Then, there was some legal problems with E-gold so there's no way to get paid so I stopped for a while and came back when paypal is already available here. There are also times when I can't go online when I have classes and when I am busy with school work. Also, I am not around when I need to attend to my responsibilities as a mother and as a wife.

I am also busy with school work as well. I am sorry to hear that there was ever such a time. It would have been absolute torture for me not to be here. I know that we can all understand that as your responsibilities offline are greater than those online. Happy mylotting!

I hate cleaning and that is why I am such a neat freak. It must be very hard and tiring to run a household. I know kids will not be much help. Everyone around you always seems to take it for granted that the house is so clean and everything else you do for them. Happy mylotting!

That is interesting. Do you manage to make any money this way? I'm just wondering as if you forgot about a website, then came back, it might have turned into a scam or changed its policies while you were away. Happy mylotting!

I was away because my internet was not working at all. It was down for a week and I couldn't log in. In first week of january, my monitor burnt out. So, I was out for 15 days.

Since i am just new, i haven't been away that long not unless i do encounter an internet connection problem here. I have been away for four days now since our connection is not stable. It is very sad since i don't get to meet my quota and i am still aiming to get the minimum pay for this month, because this will be my very first pay in MyLot and my very first pay regarding online money paying site. And now, i am striving very hard to continue what i aim because this midweek, we will be going out of town for a couple of days and i may not be able to log in to MyLot, sob sob!

I am sorry to hear that. That sounds terrible that you were not able to come to mylot because of the internet connection! Fortunately for me, the internet connection here is always stable, although not always fast. May I ask what your quota is? I don't know a lot of people that have a goal they want to meet everyday. As for the payment, just keep on the good work! It looks like you are doing great!

That is great news to hear! I'm glad you reached the payout, in such little time too! I still have another dollar and a half to go. I hope your internet will be fixed by the time you get back. Have a safe trip!

yes, our connection has been a pain in the - fingernail, hehehe! Well, i do hope by the time we go to trip and come back , i hope the connection will work better. It is really bad to see it so slow when we paid for the speed of it right. I just got my earnings status today, wow i made it. At least when hubby and i go out of town, i had my payout now. I am targetting to get $20/month here in MyLot. I have been here Feb. 9 of this year, as member. For three weeks, i have earned an amount of $10.62 as of Monday. At least i'd be happy to receive the congratulation message hehehe! Happy Mylotting to you my friend!

mylot is one of the most convenient and easy way to earn money. but its true that we have our offline life also which also have many discussions going around in our life and we have to see to them also. whole day sitting hare and earning money cant also be done. i have also been out of here for many times sometimes i needed to go somewhere, for my work i need to go, for my lunch and dinner, sometimes i am online somewhere else chatting with my friends and so on. so that means that in a day i come at least for 1 hour here on mylot. sometimes i am out somewhere so i could not come for days.

Yes, I agree. No matter how good a website is, we cannot live the rest of our lives in front of our computers. And as you mention, we need to get out and socialize in our regular lives and eat away from out computer too. We need friends offline as much, if not more, than online.

alright,i think that people might to being offline living which it is regular in most condictoin. Beacasue person need to spend time to working,studing and having dinner in offline living. So,online living is a part of offline livng.

@maiqi: That is an interesting way to put it. I'm sure most of all us eat, sleep, and get out once in a while as those things are essential for life. And I guess the internet has become a part of that life now.

I actually took quite awhile to start coming into MyLot after I joined. I found I didn't have the time and wasn't really into reading and responding at the time I joined. Finally, unfortunately when I was cut job hours, I had some time on my hands and came in and started reading and responding to discussions. I am on and off. I try to come on daily and especially to respond to friends discussions, but am still not on as often as I want to be.

I was like that too but I came back when I was looking for more ways to earn money online and everything seemed to point at mylot. I came back and it was easy to start again. Happy mylotting!

I was once away from myLot for a whole week due to my account being slightly suspended.. It was not my fault, but someone else's. They copied my discussion word for word and what not. Then there was this time that I was away for about 2 months, because of an relationship issue.. Then 2 months again, for a moving situation. But no matter what I always come through. I never stay away and never come back. I always inform my friends that I will be gone but will be back. And other times, I was unable to establish a good Internet connection. I am on WiFi now and at times, I am not able to post as I would like to. Sometimes, my post gets cut off making it hard for me to write a comment. But, I am here mostly everyday if nothing hinders me from being here. Yes, I am pretty much active at myLot.

My account was also suspended for a week because of a misunderstanding. I didn't log in for six days because I was on a trip and they suspended my account and I only got it back after a week's wait. But like you, I have always managed to come back no matter what. Even if my internet was slow, I come back the next day. Happy mylotting!

Hi Snam, I just got back onto myLot a day ago. I was on holiday, and though I brought along my laptop, there was hardly anytime to do any myLotting, just checking into emails. And that was around 8-9 days.

I can understand that. I don't use my laptop on my holidays and vacations either because I am having too much fun enjoying myself for most of the time. Happy mylotting and welcome back!

I can't be online here in mylot everyday because i've got more important things to accomplish like updating my three websites, completing blog assignments, checking my emails, etc.. a month ago, i wasn't able to mylot for more than a week because i was confined in the hospital for four days.. then i needed to take some time to fully recover.. it was my second time to be confined in the hospital.. the first one happened when i was in kinder.. i was confined for a week due to some disease..

I think no one can be on mylot everyday. I know I try, but am not very good at it. I hope you are feeling better since you have left the hospital. That sounds terrible to be stuck there with no mylot! I also have other things to do and blogging is one of them for me as well. Happy mylotting and hope you feel better!

I did not spend a lot of time here when I first joined because I was busy setting up my blog and writing. The last couple of months I have done mostly MyLot and the time has come for me to probably take another break and focus on writing. I run the house take care of my daughter and my pets and unfortunately lack of time is usually an issue. It's a matter of finding the perfect balance I think. I'm working on it!
@snam23 (3157)

I did a similar thing as well. I first came looking for money and another site to post on my blog about earning money online. I have been here for the last couple months as well. I should also improve my blog since now I know what I have to do. Balance is always hard to find, and I'm working on that too! Happy mylotting!

If I am away with mylot it is either I am busy with household chores, watching television, taking care of my baby, eating with my husband or sleeping. I am a housewife and I am most of the time alone at home with my 5 month old baby. My husband is working at night and he is the only provider of our family. If he is at home he sometimes need to use the computer and so I can not mylot. Everyday I am on mylot for only 2 to 3 hours. So the rest of the time I am doing any of the things I mentioned above. I wish I could give more time to mylot but sometimes I can't find a nice topic to respond to so I just stop than staying here without doing anything.

I can understand that as I am a student and have responsibilities at home as well. Education always comes first so I cannot always be on mylot. I get the urge to come when I am on the internet though. Happy mylotting and good luck finding a nice respond-able topic!

this is my first post actually since very very long ago i just stopped participating. i dont know why and i forgot about it til just now wen i needed some extra cash so i guess ill start posting alot more. also want to figure out how the payout system works i forgot everything!

I am finding that a lot of people are not as active here as they were a few months ago. This makes earning from your own discussions hard as fewer people will respond. Good luck and happy mylotting!

The first time i was away here is because i was disconnected with my internet connection and that was 2 years ago. I seldom go online, only when i had the chance to visit and internet cafe. The second time was when i had real job and have no enough time but all of that was just temporary. I still keep coming back and just recently i came back to post at least few on other discussions.

That is good to hear that you come back whenever you can. Mylot is such a great site that I could not live without it. I hope you can come back more often! Happy mylotting!

I ahd businesses to concentrate and a family as well as a household to keep me busy. There are times when the internet connection is so slow that I don't feel good going online.

I often do not come online also because mylot can be sometimes very slow. I have school to keep me busy so I guess we all have our reasons why we don't spend more time here. Happy mylotting!

I took about 7 months away from Mylot as I was very busy with my full time paid job and I was also interested in building up my network at Yuwie. At one time many referrals to Yuwie came from Mylot and I found I did not have the time to devote to both programs. Now my downline has been built at the other site (approaching 13,000 in my 'tree') I find it works automatically for me and I am now devoting more time to MyLot agaqin as it was my first online interest, really, and I have never forgotten that.

I have said this before but I guess I will repeat it in a lot and I think it was a good decision for you to focus on your full time job. That is a very nice downline you got there. How much have you been paid by Yuwie? Could you explain how you got so many referrals in 7 months?

Hey there! Yes, I've been away from mylot for a long time. I've been away for more that four months. I was so busy with my work and I couldn't find time to log into mylot. I only open my email account and my facebook to stay updated with my friends, but not mylot. But now I am trying to cope up with the months and days that I wasn't here. Before, when I wasn't that busy, I use to log in to mylot everyday and I spend some time here. I was hooked to mylot. Every time I see another response to my discussions and every time I see my earnings go higher and higher it excites me a lot. That's why I got hooked into mylot. Have a nice day! Happy posting!!

I was away because I got hooked again to playing ragnarok online. I am playing the KRO private server. Hehehehe... It's really fun playing ragnarok online. I used to stay here in mylot everyday and posts at least twenty posts but now, I don't think I can stil do 20 posts. I have been away for I think two weeks. I have also been away because I kinda lost interest here but I know it will be back. I am still hoping to receive my first pay out this march. Hehehehhe...

I do not know what that is but I will have to check it out. I have been away and less active here even though I visit the site everyday to prevent my account from being mistaken as inactive. I cannot make twenty posts as well. Just a discussion or two a day. Happy mylotting!
