Christmas gift from a friend on Mylot

United States

Earlier this month I got a Christmas gift from a friend here on Mylot. Yesterday I got another gift from another friend here on Mylot. This friend that sent me the gift yesterday knows what I like. Every year so far since we have known each other she has sent me deer jerky. Yesterday I got 2 big packs of deer jerky and also I got a gift package of cheese, crackers, and sausage... oh gosh! I ate and ate and ate on that stuff! I just love it so much! I have another friend here from Germany who also sent me a beautiful book of devotions through dog stories. I love it. I think it is wonderful how close we can get to people we have never met in real life, don't you? Have you received anything from a Mylotter here? Have you sent anything to a Mylotter here. This particular mylotter shares my birthday, so every birthday we do something special for each other.

That is so nice! I am not too close with anyone on mylot. But who knows what the future holds! It is nice to have friends that care.

Yes it is very nice to have friends that care. We often laugh together and cry together through emails and on facebook. I would be lost without my Mylot friends.

There was someone who used to be here who mentioned she collected angels. I remembered I had a lovely little glass angel and thought she should have it. I got her address, packed the angel very carefully, forked out for postage and it was on it's way. I didn't hear anything from this person so after a while I PM'd her to ask if she had received it. She had and said it sits on a ledge with her others. No thanks, no message of returned friendship ...nothin'. I was hurt and felt like a fool. I didn't have any great expectations but I did expect to be notified that it had arrived safely and to be thanked. Silly me.

When I told her I was sending it I was so excited and she seemed to be too. I thought there was something special between us beginning, no big deal or anything but a nice connection between new friends from different parts of the world. I sure can pick 'em.

Oh MsTickle! That is really rude and hurtful of this person to not EVEN say thank you… Maybe the person wasn’t raised with any kind of manners or something. The least she could do was to say thank you and maybe even take a picture of it and send it to you. You would have loved that.

That's great PQ, I had heard for years how a mylotter would get a card or package from another member. Surprisingly, as long as I been here, no one knows my address and I don't have an address for a member. I primarily connect online, so I do have a few on my yahoo or FB, but that is as far as our relationship goes..

I really count myself fortunate that I do have some very close relationships here, where we do go beyond the Net in our friendships. I never thought that would happen when I first started Mylot. I used to be Oreo, so I have been here a long time. I was also using my real name before I chose Oreo as a user name... so all in all I guess I have been here for 5 years.

Ahh, Oreo, I remember you, I thought you just disappeared like so many others have...There was another member who did live within 45-50 miles of me, but she hasn't been here in a long time and I thought it would be cool to meet her sometime..

That is wonderful. No I never have received anything from anyone here on mylot. If I could afford it, I would definitely send something to my friends. But, as we are not well off it is out of the question. What a wonderful thing for people to share their lives with you.

We send out a few Christmas Cards too, but not anywhere near the over 70 we use to send out. Hopefully things will get better soon rather than later. I am sure you friend will love anything you get for her/him. Have a nice day. Hugs

I can't afford to send anything out either. I sent out some cards though. After Christmas, maybe in February or March I will probably get something for my friend that has the same birthday as me. I'll have to find something online that I know she will like.

Wow!! It's really good when we can get the friendship that far.(^^) Who knows the one who we never met can be our good friends as well. Anyway I never received nor give or sent anything. I love to have such friendship as well and I think I should take the first step now.(^^)

Yeah, I rarely see my friends as well and just say hi and hello on facebook. Good to hear that you are both both friends.

Since I don't work outside of the home anymore, I have lost just about all my friendships in the real world. I mean that we don't ever speak anymore. I might see someone on facebook and say hi but that is about it.. or someone might call me out of the blue.. but my online friendships are daily communication. I love all my online friends, but my sister friend who shares my birthday is a younger version of myself... we think alike and have the same values and everything. We understand each other so well.

Yep. I share the same birthday too. I think it is wonderful to meet good people online. Sometimes they are hard to find in our immediate life. Hope you enjoy your gifts. I love Christmas. It is one of my favorite times of the year.

Hi Sis! Oh.. that Jerky got gone in 3 days! Kim ate a little of it, but I ate the rest. I finished it last night. I love all the stuff you sent.

That's totally awesome, PQ! It's made me hungry. LOL I've actually put together a box of things for one myLotter (or former myLotter... haven't seen her or heard from her in forever it seems) but she kept moving so I was waiting to see when she's settle down in order to send the package. I've sent gifts through PayPal to a few who truly needed it, even though they weren't Christmas gifts. They were just needed. This year has, unfortunately, been an insane year for me and I've barely had time for myself, let alone get things together like Christmas cards. I actually have a few cards ready to be mailed but haven't made it to the post office (I need stamps) because of all the things that have been happening around here. (My kitty has kept me plenty busy for the past week with him being so sick, and my dogs for two weeks prior to that with itchy skin, probably from the heat being on. Whew!) I think it's really cool to find someone who shares a birthday. I've never met anyone here but have met 2 people in my life who share my birthday.

Hi Mentalward, That is wonderful that you do that for your close friends. I'm sure they appreciate the help too. I sent out some cards too. I had to go to the post office to get stamps. I can't keep stamps, it seems. I put them away where only I know where they are, so hopefully I won't hide them from myself. When someone asks me for stamps I give them the book and then I never get them back.. then when I need stamps no one knows where they are.. and I have to buy more. Yes, it is really cool that I share a birthday with my mylot friend. We call ourselves sisters because of this. We are very close. I can't imagine my life without her, for sure.

Pointless, indeed it is a great surprise and wonderful gift from your online friends. I think this year will be a wonderful Christmas for you, since you had received something special from your online friends. So far, i haven't receive any special gift from any online friends yet. Maybe because i am too busy with my own offline matters, so less communicate with them. But, i hope in future when i have more time to online, can have a very fruitful and meaningful friendship with my online friends. Have an advance Christmas wishes from me "Merry Christmas to you and family".

Yes it is wonderful. It's been about 3 years now that at least two of my friends sends gifts. It's great.. even if they didn't send gifts we would always be very close.

It's really nice to hear that you are really close with an online friends. Gifts are always act as a communicator to improve the bonds among friends. It's really tough to be close with online friends. I am so proud that you made virtual friendship as a real one. Hope and wish that your friendship will be like this for 1000 years.

Thanks Sanofer. We will be close for a lifetime. I can't imagine ever not being friends with this person. We are so close that we even think alike.

Wow thats nice. i never received anything yet from a fellow myLotter before. Maybe because I'm still new here, right now all I can give is just a good conversation and leave a good response to the discussions. Happy myLotting

You are indeed lucky of the friends that you have here in Mylot. I haven't received any gift from my friends here since same as the others, I have no close friends here. I am just new to Mylot. Well anyway, congratulations for receiving gifts. :)

It is so nice. It sounds like that you really make good friends here. I haven't had real contacts from other Mylotters here. In fact I like to make friends with some of them in real life. It is always nice to have friends overseas since everything will be quite different. And it is very attractive. I love China

Hi AniqueLady, I have high hopes that Christmas will be really good this year. I haven't got my presents wrapped yet... my daughter said she might pick up some pretty little bags and tissue paper and then we won't have to wrap. Yes, I am fortunate to have some really good friends here... not all of them do I have contact info.. or addresses... but a few of them I do. You also have a great Christmas with your grandson and the rest of your family.

Hi PointlessQuestions, aren't you the blessed one. It is nice to have friends like that. You have to be a very special person. No I have never gotten any gifts or anything else from friends here at MyLot. I don't even know any of their addresses. I do have a few email addresses. I love and cherish their friendship though and I would like to say Merry Christmas to all of you.

hi Pointless Questions who is this nice furry friend in your new avatar? I sent two small parcels out to friends here in mylot and hope they enjoy the stuff I picked for them, and wrote some e cards and snail mail to others. Unfortunately I dont have the address or e mails of some mylot friends so I cant send cards or small gifts to them.
