Ah, myLot! I have missed you! School has taken me away from you, but now it is summer break and I am back in your arms again! How long have you gone without myLotting? What was your reason? Did you enjoy it when you came back?

Hey, that's wonderful, how did you do this year? I guess since I am taking my classes online, I am still mylotting, but not as much as I use to. I am also going to take a class in the summer, I have to get this math over with and I figure if I take only one class, I should be able to pull it off. SO I will have a short break after the first week in June, (yep, got a few more weeks of this quarter to go) and then back to school again.. The only reason I am not mylotting, is when I have no computer, and the longest was 15 months. When I came back, things have changed and it took me a while to get back into the flow, but yes, I love coming back..

I haven't gotten all my grades back yet. I have 3 out of the 5. I'm hoping for a 33.6 GPA though. But I might end up with a 3.4 GPA if I get a B instead of an A that I'm hoping for. How is your online class going? I'm taking a class over the summer as well. It starts June 1st for me. I know whatcha mean about getting back in the groove again over here. I can't be on it for hours at first or I get bored! I know! Such a shame! I'll work it up there again soon!

Well my first two quarters I did well enough to be on the Dean's List, this quarter I'll be fortunate to pass. I think once the math and English comp is over with, I will be on the home stretch. The only class that I think I will struggle with after that is science, then I think the other classes should be okay. It also feels overwhelming, because I am still in DEV in math and have to take three classes after that for my degree. At this point, I wonder what people do with numbers more than what I am doing now???

I hate math. It makes me so frustrated! I had to take remedial math as well before I could the math for my degree. It's so annoying. Good luck with your schooling thoguh!

When I am busy with my work it could be a week to a month! Sometimes I just take a little break from mylot and come back with fresh and positive attitude. Welcome back!

Diana! I've missed you too! Thanks for the warm welcome. Glad I've been missed and not the whole 'Who are you again?' thing. I'm still waiting back on two grades. So far they're up to the my expectations. I'm hoping for a 3.6 GPA, but it might end up being a 3.4 GPA instead with a B instead of an A. We'll see soon, now won't we? Diana? Inactive? No. What's the world coming to? I m ust see your pretty little avatar here more often.

As long as I see your thinking avatar on here, I'll be happy! And of course! I have my fingers crossed to. I'd have my toes crossed too, but hat's a bit hard and uncomfortable.

I think the longest I've been gone is 5, 6 months. That was when I was just starting as a user here. How's school?

Hey, an A is an A. I'd probably celebrate if I got one. Life is still life; a bit boring at times but you've gotta improvise to enjoy.

That's not too long of a break, even though it seems like it! School is going well. I got a 3.6 GPA this semester. It's a low A, I believe. How's life?

Oh yes, It is really nice to come back after a long time you have been out for a place you loved to be in. Specially you, I have observed you are kindly like addicted in here, so it's really nice thing for you to be back. I can feel you really loved this site that your words have been felt that you really missed being here. Well, I assume most of the people here felt like you also whenever they don't have time being here they certainly feel like there's a part of them missing... I don't think I am not mistaken here cause there are times I felt like that. Do you agree with me? Okay, I am not that active in here not like before. But I always make a point that I can sign in and be here though I can't make a post most of the time. I just like reading things and learning what others felt or think about such discussions or topics. And being included and participating in discussions is really good specially after a long time that you have missed doing such... I hope you are enjoying your time here as well. Welcome back!

Your post makes me smile or even laugh inside of me. Yes, I think there are lots of us who does like that. We are all around like a ghost cause no ones knows if we are online or not, unless we see a post with seconds of it, right? It's really fun being around even if you just read discussions and conversations. Well, it's like eavesdropping in public... See you around dear! ^_^

Oh my. Thank you for the kind words! OF course I love it here! And it seems like you do as well! And yes, I do agree. And also, I sometimes come on here just to read as well. Even if I don't respond. I'm around. Like a ghost.

A warm welcome back! How did the school year go? I am sure all went well as you are such a go getter. I have not taken breaks per se, or at least not voluntary ones. I did loose internet for 9 days due to may area being down. Then also had to go on an unplanned emergency trip for 5 days, of which no internet there either. All in all I have been here a great deal doing several things multi-tasking and typing my fingers away! It has been fun and interesting each and every day. I have learned quit a bit since you were last on here and have developed a great many good friend too. Glad to have you back and see you all over the Lot!

Yes, I type fairly fast to, but I'm not quite sure it's 92 wpm. Maybe 80 instead. I've slowed down since I was rated in high school. I'm not too good at multi-tasking. I do try though!
• United States
15 May 11
Thanks for the warm welcome! I have such great friends! It went well. Lots of work though. Up to my eyeballs. Yikes! I have 3 out of my 5 grades. I'm still waiting on two of them. I'm hoping for a 3.6 GPA, but I might end up with a 3.4 if the class I'm hoping to get an A in gives me a B. Sounds like you've been a very busy girl! Don't forget to give yourself a break!
• United States

Sounds like you have been up to your ears with studying. It is wonderful to hear that have done well. Yeah as for me although not away for too long, I do break a lot on some days and others do spend a great deal on here. I do like to multi-task and with my fast typing it does not become a chore.

I've gone for about three weeks without mylot. I just wanted a break from it. When I came back it took me a while to really enjoy it again, but I do now.

Well, there you are! Glad to see you back. I have slowed down sometimes due to my mood disorder and S.A.D. takes me over during the Winter at times. Sickness too. That awful cold this year still has me. Hope you are doing well and are back for a long time to come. Welcome back!

Welcome back to MyLot! I have gone months without MyLotting for the same reason as you. I was too busy with schoolwork and life to have time for MyLot. When I came back I was actually disappointed though because my earnings were reset due to inactivity. I was so close to finally reaching payout. Since then I've been less active on the site because that upset me. I think the time limit before earnings should be forfeited should be increased because it takes a long time to earn on this site and all that hard work is gone if life takes you away from the site for a while :(
• United States
27 May 11
Aw, I'm sorry that happened! You'll get there eventually! Don't give up! The trick to not getting it reset is to log in even though you're busy. You don't have to respond to anything, as far as I know. Just log in. I keep myself logged in on my iPod touch and if I see an interesting discussion, I'll respond there ASAP.

I have been a boat similar to yours because I was going to college full time and at one point was also working 3 jobs while I was going to college. So i definitely got distracted from being able to get on mylot. I'm glad to be not as busy now but I am still thinking of maybe taking a class or two during the summer to try and get even closer to graduating soon. I have one job right now but it doesn't give me very many hours and I'm going to be looking for another one to try and have more money. It's good to be back at mylot though because it's a fun way to pass extra time and all the extra money I make with it I'm planning on putting in a set aside bank account to try and get savings.
• United States
16 May 11
I've been down that path before too. Going to college and working 3 jobs my first semester into college. Yikes. I didn't do half bad though! But yes, myLot was on the back burner. Way back. I agree that myLot is a good way to earn money and have fun in your extra time as well. Good luck with the job.

I think the longest I have been away from Mylot is like 3 days. At least the the most days I was away the last time I wasn't on Mylot! That was last August! When I think about it more I know it is only 3 days! If I would be gone longer it would be forever and that is never happening!

Wow! Only three days! That's amazing! You got a lot of time on your hands!

Hi Stephanie Ann C: I had to be away of mylot for a season due to my work and when I came back I enjoy being part of this site more than ever. Actually this help us to value the moments we pass here as an entertainment and not just as a part of our routines. I usually participate on Mylot everyday. ALVARO

Well, I'm glad you're here now! It's a great place to be! Best advice I can give you for now, is make sure to read the FAQ's and discussion guidelines and follow them! And of course, have fun!

Even when I worked two jobs, I never was really away for more than a week or ten days. I did miss it though. We have different cycles here. I know that those who are on break from their schools have more time here. Those who are out mowing lawns, going to lakes and planting gardens are here less. I am glad you can be around for the summer.

I am only usually away for a week or so as it's when I am on vacation. But I am always happy to be back...it's almost like moving away from the neighborhood and you wonder what you missed! LOL

Exactly! I missed all my neighbors. Seems like so much went on while I was gone.

I think the longest break I took from mylot was 2 years. I posted for a month or two when I first started, got my first payout then didn't post for most of a year. I did the same thing again at that time and got my second payout. I didn't post again after that until early this year when I became disabled with cancer. I think the first two times, I posted so much that I just got bored and I ran out of time. This time, I have gone a few days to a few weeks without posting, but I am working on my third payout for this year. It was always nice to come back because it gave me a place where I could express my ideas without having to worry about someone laughing at me in my face. If they laugh at me, I never know about it unless they tell me. Welcome back!

hello Steph, The longest absence i made is at least a week. And yes,i do miss mylotting a lot and can't describe how excited i am once i am back. I can say that mylot becomes a part of my everyday life and i can say that,this site becomes my daily diary. have a great day always and enjoy mylot while you're on vacation
• United States
15 May 11
A week isn't too long! So you probably don't miss much! But then again, things move fast on myLot now, don't they? It is like a daily dairy. Usually something triggers a discussion topic for me to come here. OR just a mylot lapse! And thank you1 I bet I will enjoy it!

Who are you again? It is great to see you back, Steph! I was gone for a while as well. I have seen a few other people that just got back from being on a break, so I guess that this is the time to be on here. I hope that the fun picks up, and we can all be on together for a while. Good luck with your grades, and I hope they are as good as you hope!

It is not that long whenever I have my absence in mylot,just a few hours or a day only because with that absence, my kids are making quarrel of me because they want to play with it but with such a short of time I do miss doing the usual with mylot and it is as if I have gone for so long already.
