MyLot - you will be taking a backseat to life!

United States
May 12, 2017 6:57am CST
The last few days I have not been here as much as 'normal' and it is something I predicted a while ago. I spent too many beautiful days sitting at this computer in previous years and I don't plan on doing that again this summer. I live for summer and my pool....the water may be chilly now, but it will warm quickly and once that happens I'll be in there enjoying it. To that end I am hereby stating that while I love myLot and all of you guys, I won't be around hours and hours. I'll pop in during the mornings and see what's what. If it is a rainy day - which today is - I'll be here a little longer. At my age I don't know how many summers are left and I worked hard all of my life and I won't blow off another summer banging computer keys....... Do you plan to be here less or more this summer?

I'll be here a lot less this 'winter' as we'll be overseas and more than likely without the internet. That has a way of curtailing interaction here. Enjoy your summer.

I totally understand! I will still be here, but I agree, I wont be online quite as much. I am giving Farmville a rest for awhile because it is loading way too slow and life is too short to not be doing other things and enjoying the outdoors when it is sunny.

@Lupita234 The makers of farmville did just send out a message that a Chrome Update had made some games to load more slow. I use Chrome as a browser so that is why it is running so slow.

I hope the sun is back tomorrow, they say it will but we'll have rain between now and then. Have a good weekend.

I'm here less and less because of my painting but summer is coming and I will be camping with no wifi within miles and miles. My routine now is to come early here in the morning and try to keep catching up

I will be here with more quality time, I think. I will also be outdoors more, as I will not be working. It is some of both for me. My job interferes with my life more than myLot does.

Enjoy your pool and the summer. Life is too short not to cherish every minute we have. I'm hoping to be able to spend more time enjoying the summer too.

I want to balance and compress the activities I like into the time I have and myLot is right there too. I too feel we should not overdo one at the cost of others. Enjoy the summer which reigns supreme here almost through out the year! siva
