I am so sorry!!

Hi Humbug, I have been as bad myself lately and am trying to play catch up but inbox got full again so had to make space. I wonder if the other activity could be a man (ssssh if it is I won't say anything) I agree you must have been mad having lots of 8 year old boys round and no wonder you are tired LOL. Huggles. Ellie :D

I have to admit I did start to get worried about you my friend and not for selfish reasons either, I wasn't bothered about the notifications, I was just wondering if you were ok, when you have close friends on Mylot and you don't hear from them you begin you wonder if everything is ok, I know life throws us with crisis at times, but I hope that if you need help, support and advice you know exactly where your friends are and you are never alone! I remember now that party and that discussion about generating entertainment for 20 8 year olds, I bet you are truly glad it's over! But I am sure you scored heavily with brownie points and not just from your sons either ;0) Good on you, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger as they say, welcome back dear friend!

Well as I wasn't back from my break from mylot then... and I hadn't become your friend... no apology necessary Talking of parties though.... I let my kids have one big blow out party when they are young... after that it is treats or a couple of friends round, that sort of thing. Well my middle lad had his for his 6th birthday. I hired the local church hall, a bouncy castle and did loads of food. Told him he could invite whoever he wanted. So we ended up with almost the whole class there (around 25 kids). Then half the neighbourhood as well! I forgot in my planning that my lad plays with kids that my 13 year old is friends with. We did one head count and we had 40 kids there all between the ages of 2 and 14 He had the best time ever... me on the other hand was very stressed... the castle was even let down at one point. But it was worth it to see how much he enjoyed it! Sorry not what your original post was aimed at but .... hey ho !!

It's more like "what does myLot distract me from?" This dang place is habit forming! But I don't use e-mail notifications. Just couldn't keep up with them. My system is more random and much lousier. I look on the 'friends started' tab. Also I make an effort to visit the people who visit my discussions. Also I have a few 'little favorites' that I visit often because they make me laugh. It's not perfect and I know I am missing somethings, but it works for me.

I understand completely. I also have children and it's very easy to get distracted from mylot at any given moment. I'm sure everyone else can relate in some way too.

Hi Humbug, I had wondered if you were ok has I hadn't seen you on the other site but I'm not a big user of mylot I've never found it to be addictive, although I like to pop on and off if some friends post a discussion of interest to me. We're all entitled to a break hun.

Hi Humbug, I get worried when I don't hear from you on mylot. But I assume that everyone of us is absobored in his daily life and having a party for twenty kids is not a joke. I hope that you managed to keep them quiet and enjoying themselves without wrecking your home. My personal life and my work do distract me from my work. Lately I have been assigned a new task and therefore I have to prepare a lot of things at home. thus i have lesser free time and lesser time for mylot.

No worries, Ms simpson! Well, I don't have so much time to mylot either! Is your kid kind of like Bart? Anyway, I' uh ...wish you guys have a good time! Best wishes!

I am a brand new friend of yours as I just accepted your invitation, so I am in your profile and responding to some of your discussions so I wouldn't know that you haven't been very active lately. But it is nice to see you telling your friends why you haven't been here. I like that. I have some very good friends here in mylot that we chat back and forth with each other so if I don't hear anything from one of them for a few days I wonder why. I have been very busy since a week before christmas and finally things are getting back to normal and I can participate more in mylot, the way I used to. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

It is hard trying to answer all the discussions when you've got a house to run and children to look after, that's what I find. Some of the discussions are great, but I can't answer some how I want too,because I always seem in a rush to do something

That's ok I knew that maybe you just got busy with other things, sometimes life happens lol, well anyway its good to see you posting again, I had been looking for some new post from you to respond to and I hadn't seen many lately so its good to see some.

Hello humbug25! It's ok. I know not that we can't answer all the discussions of our friends because we cannot get all the notifications. That's why, I only chose my friends whom I turned on the notifications and those friends are the ones who always responded to my discussions. I know that if I turn on all the notifications on my friends list, I would not get all the notifications and I don't want to miss all my loyal friends discussions. What I distracted me from mylot is that when I have a personal problem and I jsut can't concentrate here.

Don't worry about it - but I did miss you and was planning to pm you to see if all was well I'm glad that all is well. You definitely had a weak moment inviting so many children to a birthday party. Glad that you are back Humbig!
