We have all met some really cool people here on mylot. People that we almost feel as if we have know for years. I have about 5 people here on mylot that I have personal emails from and have never had any problem with gettin spammed or anything else. Now lets say for instance someone on mylot asks for your phone number or they ask for your address so they can mail you something. Would you feel safe doing that? I would but I would send them my phone number and address in either a PM or preferrably email address. Would you tell them you do not want to give out that information or just ignore the request? There are people on mylot that I would sorta like to talk to on the phone but I am kinda afraid they will think I am a stalker. I can call anywhere in the USA at any time for free. It was a bonus for me when I retired from Southwestern Bell. thumbup

I guess it would depend on who's asking. I do have the private email addys of a few people here.

I can understand that. I would feel safer giving out a telephone number than an address but of course they can get your address if they know your landline phone number.

WOW, dang...how do I get on with Southwestern Bell? LOL! I wish! Everything is long distance where I live!

Yea...I've given out my phone number to a select few, whom I have emailed, IM'd and talked to on the computer. I felt perfectly comfortable with it, after having so much written contact with them.

Besides they all know I live and Texas and we have guns! blinkAin't skerred! lolheeee You know how wild our west is!fffftttttttrolleyes


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8480)   ranked 768 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

I retired in 1999 and I think 2001 was the last year they offered that. GUNS!cry......I love guns. You mean thos liberals down there have guns too?lollol


myLot reputation of 93/100. purplealabaster (718)   ranked 5,612 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

Texas isn't the only place that has guns you know. whistle Relatively near where I live, there is a small community that has signs in their front yards (I use that term loosely, by the way) that brag that "Guns don't kill people. WE kill people!" Now that right there is beyond red-neck. surrender


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7306)   ranked 907 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

No them's freakin idiots! I'll use my gun, in defense of myself or my son, but only if I HAVE to, am given no other choice and I'll warn em first. The only exception to that is if my son is in direct harms way and I have no chance to warn the perpetrator. Mama bear WILL come out of hiding...just sayin. I would not take a life unless my or my son's is in jeapardy and I would NOT brag about it afterwards. I'm sure it would tear me up. I may tease...but I'm no idiot. wink


myLot reputation of 93/100. purplealabaster (718)   ranked 5,612 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

I'm sorry, Irish. I wasn't meaning to offend you or imply that you would do anything of the kind. The people that I'm referring to are a very small community of people that have "issues" let's say. They keep to themselves and people don't bother them. Their signs are more as a warning, since they do not take kindly to any type of outside interference. I have never actually heard of them harming anyone, though.

I know how to shoot, since my daddy taught me how to properly handle a gun at a very young age. He and my brothers were hunters, so he thought I should at least be able to handle a gun, and they even tried to take me hunting with them. I couldn't pull the trigger, though, so they eventually gave up. There is only one time that I was ever put in a position that I might have to pull the trigger on someone. I was being stalked, and the guy showed up at my house in the middle of the night while my daughter and I were home alone. Fortunately, my doggies took care of him, but I cringe every time I think about how close I came to having to make that decision.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7306)   ranked 907 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

sh sh sh...I didn't think anything of the sort. LOL! I was just saying that was idiotic of them to put that up!!! Oh PA...I didn't think you meant anything bad babe! Really. I'm sorry....I get fed up with redneck idiots. Hee...I know idiots come in all forms though.


myLot reputation of 93/100. purplealabaster (718)   ranked 5,612 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

Oh, I am so glad, because I really would never say anything to intentionally offend you or hurt you in any way. I would feel really awful if I even hurt or offended you unintentionally!

Idiots really annoy me, too. I am a countryfied redneck, though, and dad-burn proud to be one, I reckon!thumbup

Hello muscles. happy

Giving phone numbers out is not really my thing since anyone at the house can answer the call and even interrogate me with who it is. To keep it simpler and more safe, i would rather give my e-mail address or cellphone number.

I think there's nothing wrong to ask for someone's number. Try checking that out. Don't be afraid to be called a stalker since you are way too far than that. rolleyes

Take care!thumbup


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8480)   ranked 768 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

I would prefer calling people from my home phone since it is free long distance for me(within the USA of course). I am a harmless old lady and severla mylotters also like to read so I could send some books.

I'm very reluctant to give personal information. Anything a person and I would want to talk about could be pm'd. Although I've met people from a guitar forum I've been part of for 11 years, most people there don't even know my real name. I'm a very private person. There are a few people here that I'd like to get together with, though.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8480)   ranked 768 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

It is a shame that u have to worry about things like this anymore. I have given my # to a few & my son got all over me for doing that when he was out & i got a call from one of my special mylotters. I don't regret giving it to her at all & would do it again. He thought i was being way too trusting but i don't feel like that at all. I would not give it to just anybody of course but i think u make friends here that u will have forever. U are lucky to be able to call like that, wish i could. Have a good one. jo


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8480)   ranked 768 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

I do not think I am in any danger as I live in a pretty secure area even though the neighborhood is bad my building is secure.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11085)   ranked 4,236 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

Thank u for my best response. U stay safe & be careful.

 
6. myLot reputation of 93/100. purplealabaster (718)   ranked 5,612 out of 32,322 in mylot.com   1 month ago

I think that it would depend on who the person is, how well I felt that I knew them, and what the context was of how they wanted to meet or talk. I have e-mailed people from on myLot on our personal e-mail accounts, but I have never spoken with them on the phone or met them in person. There are a few that I think would be a lot of fun to meet or talk with in "real-life", so it would not be totally out of the question. I tend to be more cautious about these kinds of things, though, especially since I have kids to think about, so I would have to feel confident that it was perfectly harmless and safe.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8480)   ranked 768 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

I do not have alot of free time so traveling to meet someone more than 15 miles away would not doubt be out of rhw question but a phone call now and then would be nice or sending books to other mylotters that like to read is something I would like to do.

 
7. myLot reputation of 99/100. catdla1 (2616)   ranked 638 out of 32,322 in mylot.com   1 month ago

I haven't swapped this kind of information with anyone here in myLot yet, but I have with others that I've met online. I keep an unlisted phone number, and start with that. By having it unlisted it's not available through reverse phone look-ups to get my address. No information is 100% safe, but so far I haven't received any mail or visits unexpectedly.

Once I've talked on the phone a few times and built a 'comfort margin', I frequently have swapped addresses. Many of my online friendships have led to meeting each other in person, one of whom I ended up marrying. Along the way, I do pay attention to any 'warning bells' that go off, and heed the warnings.

What really surprises me is how many people list phone numbers in their facebook accounts. Anyone they accept a casual friendship with has access to that information.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8480)   ranked 768 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

OH YES We all need to listen to those warning bells. I would never overstep any boundaries and start calling anyone daily or anything like that, just on a holiday to say happy holiday or if I know someone has been ill or down in the dumps.

I have met some terriic people here on mylot. I have made some good friends. I also have personal emails addresses from several people. I also have several phone numbers and addresses. I have talked to a few on the phone, have exchanged things thru the mail. And I so hope that someday I get to meet some of my friends from here in person. I love mylot and am so thankful that I found this great site.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8480)   ranked 768 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

I love it here too. At first I thought I would not fit in being a senior and all but there are alot of 50 plus people on mylot.

I think that is so cool to meet someone on here and start a real friendship. It is hard around here where we live to meet people that isn't a drunk or a druggie. Don't get me wrong we drink a few beers now and then and I am not against people that smoke pot. But most of the people around here are on real drugs and we don't want that in our lives. We would love to be able to meet new people that have the same interest or some of the same interest as we do. We love working in our yard and making it look nice and building things. We love improvements in our lives and it would be nice to meet someone that shared the same kind of feelings toward themselves. I wouldn't thank you a stalker. Must be nice to have that kind of friendships with people you meet on here. Being able to call anywhere in the USA is a real bonus.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (8480)   ranked 768 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

Hi Free_man. What a shame there are so many drunks and druggies. Maybe if they had some hobbies like you do they could put some of their bad habits on the back burner for awhile.


myLot reputation of 92/100. free_man (360)   ranked 9,865 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 month ago

Would love to find dear friends that we could spend time playing cards,dice, or doing some kinds of crafts with. We make all kinds of crafts. We even make candles that is a good thing for during the winter cause it keeps the house warm.

so you are a trusting person then right? You got that watch dog to take care of you too! Free phone service is good. if I had to pay for phone service I probably would not have a phone which means I would not have cable because dial ip is all that is available.
