Starting MyLot from Scratch

Perhaps only one or two of you have heard from me in in the last six days. I’m having a terrible time keeping up on MyLot, so decided to start from scratch. I feel so overwhelmed by all my notifications, that I had planned on quitting. However, I cannot. I would miss you way too much. So if you don’t mind, I will start from scratch and respond to older notifications as time permits. If you mind, then I’m so sorry. ~Photo is my granddaughter’s new bunkmate and camp friend, Nicole Ritchie’s daughter, Lionel Richie’s granddauhter~

@DianneN I know what you mean, when I cannot be here two days in a row and I see so many notifications I feel anxious.

@LadyDuck They do cause anxiety, especially if you want to post again, but haven’t caught up on notifications like me! I have so much to write about, but will now shut up until I catch up. Starting today!!!

Not everyone, yet, but I’m trying my best. I am doing two loads of laundry, walked early, fed and walked Doodles twice, and have to go to the gym later this afternoon. I shall return. Those notifications are what myLot is all about, but they overwhelmed me so much. Thanks Anna!

What a beautiful picture! Please don't stress! As far as I'm concerned you can do what you like. When I see a lot of notifications I feel that I have a job and that's not why I'm here. I find that I only start a new discussion when I'm all caught up as I like to respond to everyone and everything even if it just with a

This is the last thing you should stress about I realized a long time ago that there are just times when it's impossible to keep up so I just plug along and keep in touch. Please don't quit!! I know I"d miss you. Cute picture of the Ice Princess and her bunkmate (I thought her bunkmate looked a little familiar )

And I can imagine that Lionel's buttons are popping off his shirts, with her face smiling back at him! He's my favorite male singer, we went to his concert in Detroit a couple years ago:)

@nela13 I am going to try to change my myLotting habits. Hopefully, I will be a much better myLotter. My granddaughter never knew she skated with Madonna's adopted daughter or went to camp with Red Hot Chili Pepper's daughter and others. We just want her to enjoy camp as a normal little girl, and I'm sure little Harlow's parents want the same for her.

Naaaah, I think people will understand and as long as they see some activity from you everything will be ok. On the other hand, if you quit I'm sure many myLoters here will be upset . Take your time, enjoy life, watch your granddaugher grow and come by to see us when you can. We'll be here .

@DianneN thank you! It's always easy to talk to people if what you say is true to what you believe. I believe that if we offer joy and happiness then that's what we'll receive too. And I'll never suggest anything to anyone if I'm not willing to do it myself. I always stay positive, that's why I'm always (almost ) happy. So, even if I'm new on myLot, I'll speak for everyone: we are glad to have you here .

Aww, thanks so much! I certainly want to remain here, but now I will finish my notifications before I create another post. My granddaughter is clueless as to who little Harlow is. She was also clueless when Red Hot Chili Pepper's daughter was at camp with her. She also didn't know she was ice skating in a show with Madonna's adopted daughter, Mercy, with Madonna watching from the bleachers. We just want her to have fun and let the other kids be regular kids, too. Ignorance is bliss. On the other hand, I'm always starstruck.

@DianneN Dianne. you have to do what you have to do. I do not mind. It is too bad you are starting all over again. So, that is Nicole Ritchie's daughter. She is cute and so is your granddaughter. Are they good friends and I do not want you to leave here. I had to look at the picture again. I see with the face the resemblance.

I will try working on my remaining notifications and go to older ones when I have some time. I won’t dare leave here, although I was tempted many times when I felt overwhelmed. This is Harlow’s first time at sleepover camp, and my granddaughter won’t be told who she is. They are good friends, but my granddaughter has lots of other good friends, too. Lol! Red Hot Chili Pepper’s daughter and Anne Leibowitz’s adopted daughter have been friends of hers at camp in the past. Also, my granddaughter ice skated with Madonna’s adopted daughter, Mercy, and never knew who she was.

@Hannihar Parents visiting day comes once during the season and that comes in less than two weeks. My kids have her camp and then my grandson’s camp to visit, but that’s pretty common. My son hopes to see Nicole. The Red Hot Chili Pepper father came up to my son to compare cameras and talked for a while a few years ago. My son knew who he was immediately. Yes, Harlow and the others are just regular kids to her. I just returned from taking Doodles out again. He is so demanding. I told him he hogs up most of my time. Lol!

@DianneN What an interesting camp it is. Famous people's kids. So, Harlow is like a regular kid to her. Do parents comes visit? If so, didn't Nicole visit her or is your granddaughter not familiar with her? I am so glad you are not leaving. Those notifications can be overwhelming. You are so busy so you probably are not here that much and yours added up.
