I realized today that it has been 4 days since I was on MyLot. Usually I at least try to check in every morning but I have lots more client work and I have been busy moving my articles from Examiner to my blog and deleting articles off another site I have been writing on and moving them to my blog. I guess my blogs will benefit from all this!! We had a family day on the 4th of July and yesterday and today were both exercise days. I have just been very busy but I am trying to get in touch with my friends and catch up on what has been happening in your world.

We have a good mind not to tell you what has happened. If you cannot be bothered to visit then you do not deserve to know. (cruel laughter)

I know you don't have much time left to get them all moved. How are you doing with it? I'm glad you had a good day with your family for the Fourth.

There certainly are some days that seem like that especially since we exercise 4 days a week.

I guess it has been 4 years since I was on MyLot LOL. When I tried to join today it said I was already signed up. I guess I get to be a newbie and a veteran at the same time!

I love your "reference" in the discussion title. Don't know if many people remember that song from "Porgy and Bess". My advice? Keep on keeping on.

Although I did not move my examiner articles to a blog, they are copied safely for future use. Some thought examiner should let people just write at will and just not get paid. What do you think about that?

I would have agreed to that. You do have all your urls right? so you can prove they are yours.

Well, I heard from you recently and it may have been four days ago already, but it seems like just yesterday. I guess it's taking me this long to get back to you, so we're all good. I heard about the examiner thing and moving articles from one site to another does take a bit of time, so it's good you're taking care of that now.

Hello there Isabelle- I've been doing the same after the news at Examiner- I do save all article drafts on 'Word pages but am copy/pasting the best ones to another place. I guess I will delete some of the drafts if I have doubles. What a bummer with them! What next! Seems there's no good fun sites to write for anymore!

Make sure you save all the URL so that you can prove they are your after the site goes down, plagiarists are probably scraping the site even as we speak. I am putting them on my blog. This might be the time to get your new blog started
