Hi! My name is Rhonda, and Im a MYLOT addict! I have been on here 3 days now and its getting out of control.. When I was in the shower last night the only thing I could think of was what I was going to post next and if my friends have started any new discussions. Then when I was sleeping last night, I dreamed of mylots and all my posting and what I could post today.. Then I woke up around 3am and thought about this.. I even thought to myself I should keep a paper and pen next to the bed incase I have a great idea for a discussion in the middle of the night.I wouldn't want to forget a good topic. Do you think I have a problem? Am I alone out there or are there many Mylot addicts? I don't know whether to thank my friend that invited me here or hurt him...lol ( u know who you are) ... Even though I'm addicted I love this place...

No, you are not alone. I am going through exactly the same thing. This has almost eclipsed my main job. Every waking hour, I am thinking about responses, discussions and myLot friends. Don't know how healthy it is, but at the moment I can't help it. I too have a notebook at hand so that whenever I get a new idea, I will write it down in case I forget it later on. Help...

Hello Rhonda... My name is Shannon...and I am also...a myLot addict!
I've been a member for about a month and at first I didn't do too much here but now I find myself searching discussions, responding, uploading pictures several times a day. It's hard to walk away sometimes! lol Especially because now I'm .50 cents away from being at $10.00.

Nice to meet you Rhonda and I am somewhat of an addict myself. For some reason, my day doesn't seem complete until I make at least one post on mylot. But don't worry, I don't think there's any harmful side effects...lol

Hi I have run out of adjectives to describes how good mylot site really is. It is the best site on the internet i feel. I have been on mylot for 4 months and i have had a great time. It really is addictive. I have been hooked to mylot site. And it is real fun as time just flies past as one gets engrossed posting & replying to discussions, reading others intersting posts, giving my commnets, have healthy interaction of views. One can get advice and help others out too. Beide having friends is fun too. Besides mylot is always new thing sto make whole experince worthwhile, be it allowing posting images, stressing on quality responses, the new search feature.... Moreover mylot is one site that really pays for doing what we really enjoy which is added incentive.

Hy Rhonda! I'm your friend NICU. You are not the only one who is addicted. I've been on the mylot for 3 or 4 days too. I think it's nothing to worry about but try to go out more often. Don't stay home in weekends and avoid staying in front your PC. Weekend is the only chance you got to take some fresh air and don't think about all you've done during the week. It's the best time to be free doing what you want and to have some fun. Internet is not the only important thing in your life. Your real life is important and small things in your life make you happy like the smile of your daughter. Don't worry I think it's the passion of discoveryng mylot, by the time you won't be so adicted to it.

Hahahaha...Hi Rhonda..Im so afraid it might happen also with me coz i am just a new user of this site...Maybe justy calm down..I think its much better to just make it as hobby and try to relax so that you could think of some great topics that we might discuss in...

i also started mylot some time ago and in the starting i also had the same dreams and i always used to keep thinking how to expand this and how to do better in mylot and kept thinking of it whereever i used to go.. but after some time it fell inplace and now i do not have such dreams and now i know that the time in sit in front of mylot that is when i should think of it and not during other times so i think even you will get over it soon and all these are starting stages and nothing else so dont worry and have fun in my lot

I am a myLot addict too. I love browsing through the topics. I love writing responses. In fact i stay here for more that 4hours per day. The last time i was even here for 8 hours. I can't let a day pass without checking in mylot.
