Hello everyone. Thank you to all I have added and accepted my request for friendship. Im sorry I cannot catch up with all your posts due to some technical problems and lack of time. Please bear with me. I'm trying to come up with a way to reach out to all. I don't want to leave anyone out. I was thinking I'm going to have to assign days to everyone in my friends' list. Some of you will be my Monday friends, Tuesday and so on. What do you think? Do let me know. I'd love your input in this. Happy posting and good day. Thank you!

Again? Why can't I ever get the honor of doing THAT to you? *smack smack smack* :)There. A smack is not good enough. Surely you have more smacks to spare? I need 3 more. Shhh, they are for my lively maggots here. Hello, Your Lordship Warwizard. An honor to have you drop in. Funny ha? I'll make you my funny Friday friend then. That way I get to laugh all through the weekend. And devote a lot of time on you. I'm so looking forward to it. Have a great day!

go ahead with your plans, pursue it, if that will make you comfortable. it is really difficult to catch up with all the discussions that our friends online have been posting each day. they amount to some hundreds and we can only post so much in a day. in fact, there are days, when i cannot post any as the internet connection goes pffft sometimes. we have to be understanding of the situation of each one of us around here. the truth is, i expect all my friends here in mylot to know that this is how our life runs here in mylot.

hi mam trinidad. I have to see if it does work and what other suggestions I might get from friends who have the time to drop in this discussion. You said it right, for myself I find it very difficult to catch up, what with the lack of time and these technical problems I keep having. To top it off, I cannot copy/paste if in the middle of typing something the connection or computer suddenly goes off. So frustrating. I guess you are right everyone seems to understand here. A pleasure to see you drop in here. :)

makes me no difference either way. Do what you have to in order to remain organized if needed. I can't always get to all my friends in one day either. Thanks for informing us also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Hi grandpa Bob. Thank you. It's a pleasure to have you grace this discussion. Yes I will :) I need to organize a little my disorganized self here. I want to give everyone I've added a fair chance to be a friend. If possible. Happy postings to you too. Have a lovely day!

That sounds like a good plan you have set up. No worries about it though, I am sure most of us understand that some people have certain schedules they have to follow and what not. Just do things your way and things will be just dandy. Your friends understand.

Hello jeweledbluerose, I do hope so this plan I hatched a while ago would help me reach out to all the friends I have added. Frankly, I wasn't even thinking I'd face this kind of problem - being caught up in a traffic jam of discussions to respond to :) I appreciate hearing from you and knowing that it is just the way it is and everybody understands. That's one less thing to worry about then. I'm having a dandy time as it is meeting so many different people and making friends. People like you make it dandier, no doubt. Amazing. Mylot rocks! Thanks

I may try this schedule out myself. My friend numbers have been growing and it's been a lot of work to try and keep up with them all in one day. Especially since it seems this time of the year and season business goes up for me and really makes my schedule even busier. We all have our lives outside of Mylot to run and how we handle our time online is our own business and should be respected as such. I have noticed that Mylot is full of caring and understanding individuals, though I have come across a few sour apples. Off course it wouldn't be very much fun without the few sour apples in the whole bunch..lol Take care and have a great day! :)

Sour apples? Aren't they yummy and good for digestion? hihihi. I love sour things. I just put sugar on them and voila! I just hope I don't run into many here or I would need your help!

It is indeed a unique way to attend to friends' discussions. Your idea may work well for you if you are able to manage it without much effort. What happen if your Monday friend does not post discussions on Monday and post on Tuesday instead? Personally, instead of spending time to group friends on "daily" basis, I would rather spent the time responding to discussions. Personally, I feel if you have set mail notifications on for all your friends, it would be a much better way to manage your responses. I do it on First In First Out basis. Just sharing my views.

Wow. that's nice. A reward for not posting discussion. :P Just that you might be responding to discussions which are a week old. And it will sure work if you make it work. Do I get to choose the day I belong to? Happy going :)

Hi whyaskq. I sure hope so it will work. I'll be telling you if it doesn't. Just wanna give it a try. For fun and who knows, for keeps ;) I just have to reach my 500th post to facilitate some things like PMs. I was thinking of that what-if too. Monday friend with no discussion gets a lovely song from me. Now that is a setback isn't it, if she/he post on a Tuesday? Hmmm good point whyaskq. I have set mail notifications on too but it overwhelms me and gives me panic attacks. Can't deal with that yet. I love your views, always. They make my brain work. Same goes to everyone here. I'm glad you didn't miss this post. I would have been disappointed not knowing your views. Now you got me thinking .... see? See you around. I have to chase my thoughts. More views please?

Hello weemam. I think I read that and some others. Was it ok of me to pursue a topic I read on? I'm not encroaching or something am I? Pardon me if you feel I am. I would like to thank you and all those I read who had similar problems. It got me to thinking what I could do to help myself with reaching out to all friends in my list too. I know you're there and I am so glad. Helps to get this worry off my chest. Whew. Worrying you might disappear and all my other friends...lol. I would have followed you of course. Hugs and a great day to you. Smile. You're a great person and I like you!

That's a good idea! Unfortunately I'm not so organized LOL! If I see something what is in my humble opinion worth my response I do respond;-)! I'll give you full rights to add me to any day you like. Why not Friday, FE? As for not to responding all discussions of your friends, it's OK, it's normal. No one is able to respond all discussions (he/she should be a typing machine and an alive encyclopedy in one person LOL!) We all do understand and accept it. What I can't understand is only when somebody asks you to be your friend and then does not respond one of your discussions, ever, zero. If there were 2 a month I would be happy.

Hi kiiizu. I'm not so organized too! Friday it is my friend :)Hahaha I am imagining what you are saying and it tickles me silly. funny funny. That is not good to not respond ever eh? What are friends for anyway then? But you know, maybe they just have no idea of what to say. Same as me, I sometimes don't know how to respond. So I go searching the topic I don't understand. If I feel I really cannot contribute, I send a PM and a song. :) Im so happy you dropped in.

that's a great idea, i must say! i can, actually, relate to your post. even with best of intentions i have been failing to respond to all my friends, just because of the time factor. i just wish i could get more time to devote here, it's such a lovely place. as for your suggestion, i think it's a unique idea. that would atleast relieve the burden of guilt to some extent. we can catch up with the discrepancies and the laggings. by the way, is this patented. i mean, can i do it as well Mr. Innovator. LOl...

Hi mimpi! You think so? Oh isn't that great? Make me a Friday friend lol. No it's not patented, free for all. You know, I was like planning to send out PMs or leaving comments to all in my friends' list. something that says ... "Hello, you have just been awarded as Monday friend" hihihi I know, I really feel guilty because I haven't even reached some of my friends' discussions. I'm slowly moving there but in the meantime I'd like to at least reach out and tell them their ADD means a lot to me. Hence this post. Others might take it for granted but I just cannot. I'm happy you had the time to see this post and drop in :)

I think it is a fantastic idea. I know the daunting feeling when the computer or the server plays up and you fall behind. In the beginning I use to get panic attacks:))) But then again you get some of your friends, they just keep posting and posting, and they hardly post on yours. You should put those on a very "special" day What seems to be the matter with your system? maybe we can help, or is it beyond our reach:)

Hi Anniedup. I hope so too. Frustrating as my friend says, grrrr-kind of frustrating. Good for you, you got over the panic attacks. How'd you do it? Me, I'm Ms. Panic everyday. Oh my, I have those kind of friends too. Aren't they just dandy. I don't mind (a little), they seem to have a lot of friends too and besides I haven't ever posted a topic ever yet since over 2 weeks ago I think. Except now. Ta-da! Excellent idea - "special" days. The computer frequently shut down and my connection is not that fast at times. But yesterday and today I noticed, it hasn't shut down on me ... yet. What you think? Having it checked, not yet an option, no funds. Maybe when I get mylot earnings ;)

Hello to you to! Thanks for wanting to have me as your myLot friend. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me when you chose to response to the discussions. Try your best as for myself, I cannot promise to answer to all of my friends discussions due to time constraints. Anyway, you're input would be much appreciated... Take care and best regards.

Hello syain. It's always nice to be appreciated. Yes I understand too, time always seems to be too short in mylot. If not, sometimes there is just nothing you can add to a discussion. I'm happy you had the time to drop in today :) Expect my inputs for as long as I have any to give.

I know that it gets tough keeping up the more friends that you have I am up to about 80 and I don't always have enough time to get to them all everyday. I have kind of a core group that I visit daily then I try to get to as many as possible. but the assigning days thing is a good idea. Hope ya don't mind if I borrow that.

Hi Impervious. Oh no, not at all, by all means, do try it and tell me if it works haha. I haven't worked out the specifics yet. I'm trying to reach 500 posts first. That way I get that copy/paste privilege which I need for my PMs to make this day-friend thing work for me. What other privilege do I get after the 500th post?

This is very nice of you :) I'm away most of the time too and don't login much lately and when I do login it's for a short while and i can only respond to a few of my friends discussions and can't keep up with everyone.. it's sad that I missed on too many great discussions and it would be impossible to catch up with it later on as new ones are coming too.. Anyway I will try to do my best to be more responsive in the coming days... you have a nice day and I hope all your problems will get solved :)

Hello wildhorse. Yours is the most favorite avatar of my baby nephew. Yes, I feel sad too not having responded to some discussions yet. What I do, if time permits, I go directly to a good friend's profile and see if they have any new discussion that I can respond to, if not I usually send a PM or just a song to them. My problems with the pc are not troubling as often as before. I'm crossing my fingers. A pleasure having you here :) Have a great day!

Hi!!! I'm sorry to hear that you're having so many problems! I understand how you feel about the lack of time issue, I have so many friends here and it is challenging to keep up. I think that idea of splitting it up into specific days actually does sound really good. I hope it works out for you!

Hey! You know lecanis, I tried 2 times to post this comment and got shut down twice. You don't think this pc has something against you do you? LOL. Yes problems problems everywhere. That's life. At least I know that when I can't take anymore I can rant rave and vent here. I thought it sounded good, Im not so sure now hehe. We will see how it works. It will be fun just trying it out though. I'm looing forward to it no matter the outcome. I'm just waiting to reach my 500th post. So I still have time to think and plan hihihi. A pleasure as always having you drop in :).

hi! your idea is unique (?) but.... will it not make it more difficult for you to catch up on the discussions? Like, for example, i'm in Monday group will that mean you'll only open up my discussions and respond to them every monday (after 7 days)? If i'm as active as most of mylotters i would have already started a lot of discussions and so are the rest in the monday group! Just my 2 cents...i don't really mind what you want to do in order to organize. Actually, it might really work for you as :)

Yes, 7mfmns, that has been raised. I'm not sure how to answer that to your satisfaction. If you are a Monday friend, doesn't mean it's only Monday I will look you up. My mail notification is on, so I'll know if you did post or not. If not, I will send something to you through PM coz u deserve that as a Monday friend. Flexibility needs to be incorporated I think, yes? If you happen to post on a Tuesday and not a lot of Tuesday friends posted, you'll be incorporated on that day. Haha, I'm not making sense to myself. Give me time, to straighten out the kinks in this crazy plan ;). I'm sure I'm going to have fun thinking this through. Always grateful to you for dropping in. Take care!

With a username like that I couldn't stay away from this discussion. =P Well... if I'm going to be assigned one weekday... I'd rather choose Wednesdays. They are the middle of the week and, of course, it's the day that most people are most relaxed (the pressure of the beginning of the week is gone and the pressure of the end of the week is yet to come) so you can take your time replying discussions. =P

Hi cancatis. Thanks and Welcome to myLot and here in this discussion. You're another brick in the wall of friendship for me. I read that post but I haven't had time to reflect and compose my thoughts. I will soon. Wednesday it is then. Though I must warn you, this is just as some say a crazy thought. So we'll do it for fun and see if it works. For now, it is under construction ;)
