I am very fond of myLot because it has helped me quite a bit in many areas of my life. This forum has many great members who come here to share knowledge, and I have often used tips that I've gotten here in my everyday life. What about you? Have you learned of a good suggestion here that you have put into practice? I was seriously lacking in communication skills(interacting with others) before I joined myLot. I'm a very private person and the experience has enabled me to open up more with people. I've picked up tips on everything from using the computer to interesting movies and recipes. Please share with the rest of us something you have gained from being here on myLot.

Mylot and my wonderful friends on Mylot were my rock in the stormy ocean that was my life a year or so ago, I needed support, advice and warmth and I got it, without Mylot I don't think I would have got through probably the blackest time in my life, I built up the courage and I was able to move on! I have a lot to be thankful to Mylot for. Friendship is priceless and the advice has been second to none. I don't socialize, I am wary of strangers and I just don't mix, I am believe it or not incredibly shy, Mylot has helped me reach out to people and it is my true link to the outside world. Without it I would be lost.

I haven't gotten a whole lot out of myLot, yet. But, I also have not put a whole INTO myLot. I joined a while ago on the recommendation of a friend. I looked around a bit, answered a discussion or two, and sort of left it at that. When I got the myLot digest emails telling me about recent discussions in my categories of interest, I never really saw anything that I felt like responding to. As such, myLot has been largely dormant for me until recently. I started looking deeper into what myLot has to offer. Today alone, I have started and responded to more discussions than I have in the rest of my time here on myLot. I found that I just need to sort through the chaff to get to the kernels that are the worthwhile discussions. I hope to be more active in the next few months.

Good to know, thorgrym, that you've given us a second look. MyLot certainly has a lot to offer, and I've made some very good friends here. On some days I find that I have to move out of my comfort zone(friends) in order to be inspired.

That sounds very promising! Welcome and I hope you will have fun finding your way around and your 'slot'. Happy Lotting!

In the almost two years that I have been here I have learnr a lot. I have made some wonderful friends too. Every day I learn something new here and sadly not all of it is positive. The longer I stay the more I realise that myLot is a slice of life with all that goes with it - ups and downs, rights and wrongs, good and bad. It's like a merry-go-round and I just don't want to get off!

MyLot is much like a huge city, mysdianait! Sometimes I will run into friends for days in a row, but at other times I don't cross paths with them for weeks!

Mylot has helped me quite a bit. I have learned a lot from this forum about not only myself, and my thoughts, but also about other cultures, other people and their thoughts. This is why I enjoy logging onto mylot. Not to mention that I enjoy discussing issues and subjects and this forum is a great way to do take part in discussions and such.

That's one of the great things about myLot, dodo, everyone has an opinion about everything! We may not always agree but we make our voices heard.

Well, agreements and disagreements happen all the time, really. Not only here, on mylot, but can occur among friends, family, colleagues, classmates, etc. But personally, I think that that's how it should be, to a certain degree.

Yes, myLot has helped me in a few things. For example, I asked what's the best antivirus program a few days ago and got tons of VERY helpful answers. Thanks to everybody who answered that discussion If I don't remember wrong, you answered it too

Well, I have learned a lot of things about different customs, etc. on here, and learned about different types of things I may not have known about otherwise. I also Love how we can come in here and talk about things of everyday life going on around us, and get suggestions on how to deal with them learning from them and being better people as well. This has approved my knowledge in a lot of things and I feel I can better relate with a lot of people as well.

MyLot certainly does tend to bring one out of their shell, KrauseHome! I know that I was very introverted when I first joined myLot, but I might be just a tad too outspoken now!

myLot has helped me lot in various ways. First I was skeptical of mixing with people form different cultures or countries as I was wary of the way people will receive me but thanks to myLot that has gone completely now because of so many wonderful friendly international friends in myLot.

there are a lot of people who share their knowledge. but one thing which I don't find in myLot is tat, no one has asked or spoken anything about biology. I was just wondering if there's any one who is really interested in facts of life and the bio aspects. I am a biology student so I find all these stuff interesting, and have been looking for such topics which I never seem to find in myLot. I may post a discussion about it,but I wonder how many will answer for this.

There are people here on myLot with interest in just about everything you can think of, Jaj, By all means you should post a discussion on your interests and I'm sure you will get results!

I have only been with Mylot for a short period of time and I would have to say that without a doubt, mylot has helped me a lot. I have learned a lot about myself just from having some meaningful discussions with the other mylot users. I have even managed to find some good online money making info on here as well which is always a bonus. I too am not a big people person yet on mylot I feel like I can break out of my shell, be myself and not be judged. Overall I have to say that I love this site. Thanks for starting this discussion loved it.

Mylot has given me a world of friends. It cheered me up when I was down. I have learned about some other money making opportunities. I feel useful when I help others. I earn a little bit of money, that is more than you can say for other social sites.

I have tried other social sites, GG, and none of them can compare to myLot, in my opinion. You can't beat the friends you make here!

Mylot has helped me plenty. I meet new people, read new information. Also earn a few cents to spend. This site has also helped me with some questions that I've wanted answered. I hope to spend plenty of time on this site, and continue with all the members of mylot. Mylot has also helped me do some typing, good for my typing speed and skill.
