Hello All,
I was busy responding to others few days ago when I decided to call it a day. Normally, I respond through my email notifications. That day, I had over 1000 notifications to read and respond to. When I decided to stop, I looked at my inbox and it showed I still have 888 new emails. Wow, what a great number! 8 is a lucky number and to have a triple 8 is such a good luck I guess... 
A day after, the number increased again back to more than 1000 
I started to respond non-stop and decided to get some sleep after a few hours sitting in front of the computer. Again, it showed I have 888 new emails. I didn't do it purposely and for me, it was just an amazing little thing to happen! How about you guys? Share with me any interesting stories that happen to you lately... Have a great day!

Well, that is really quite interesting... the triple 8 twice... maybe that is a sign that something good will happen to you... since 8 is a lucky number...
I remember one time when i went to the mall and bought something then withdrew some money at the atm... the numbers 4849 came out twice... and i went and bought a lottery ticket using those numbers... but i did not win... well, i think those number came out only as coincidence for me...

Hello stephcjh,
How are you? Not too late I hope to wish you a Happy New Year! Now I realize it is not an easy task to reduce the number of notifications especially when you have as many as mine. I tried to reduce but after a day, it will be back almost as before. But, I am happy with it and as long as I have some time to spend here, I will respond!

That is a lot of notifications. I do like the fact that MyLot does notify us when someone responds to our discussions. Even when someone responds to our response. But each member makes the choice how many they wish to have come into their email. They chose whether they want to be notified or not. I like that aspect also. I am thinking about getting a email address that would be just for MyLot notifications. I just haven't decided all the way yet.

Hello sunshinelady,
Oh, I think you should do that! I have one email only for MyLot and all my online stuff. I don't mix it with my personal and office. All in all, I have three emails for different usage (It creates headache too sometimes...) After I accepted a person to be in my friends list, I will turn on his/her notification. So, I receive all the notifications of whoever listed in my list.

I think I will do that. Now all I need to do is find a good email service. Than I will be set. Thanks for your thought.
