Have you ever just needed someone to talk to, and you look around and nobody is available? That's what I'm going through right now! Something both frustrating and sort of funny happened awhile ago, and I need to tell someone about it. I called my husband at work first, and he's not there, he's on the road. He hasn't called back yet. Then I got online and looked for some friends on IM, nobody's on. Then I go to Facebook, still nobody on! Even most of my Mylot friends are MIA. Where is everyone!! Why isn't there anyone around when I need to talk!!

I am here now! I was making toffee popcorn and hanging out with an old friend earlier today. Before she came over I was cleaning the house.

First time I have seen her in over 2 years. She had never met my daughter.

Well atleast it's not annoying or peeving you off! I hope you can find someone to share this with, trying going to one of those chat automatic sites where you basically chat with a computer, maybe that will make you feel better until someone comes around you can talk to? lol.

Actually it is annoying me and peeving me off! Luckily my husband finally called back... his coworker forgot to tell him I called, so that just added to my annoyance!! So I was able to tell him about it, and he's just as peeved off as I am now!

Oh okay well none the less I am glad that you got it off your chest! I know that by your discussion I had thought that it wasn't something so bad as to peeve you off, but atlest now you've got something to share the peeveness with!

I was trying really hard not to get into it or make a big deal out of it, but as it turns out, I started a discussion about it anyways. I'm glad Mylot is always here for me to talk to whenever I have a reason to!

Aww, it's ok. I did eventually vent about it, and feel so much better now. It's just frustrating when you can't find someone the minute you want to talk. You can feel free to add me to IM, I use same name as this on everything! I'm easy to track down, lol.

Yeah that is the sort of thing that usually happens to me! I have not been on the computer much this week at all, I have been out nearly everyday for a change!! I usually find for me I try and tell someone something over a text and then no one answers me back and that really frustrates me!!

Hope you were having fun this week, lucky you! Hopefully once we get settled in the new place I'll have a chance to meet more people and get out more. I have a few open invitations already for after we're settled.

I know what you are saying. It's very frustrating not being able to have even idle chit chat with someone. That's why I am liking mylot more and more. During the day, it's just me and the kids, and they are not much for "big" people talk lol Being on here has helped reduce A LOT of my "lonely for conversation" feelings :) Hope you find one of your friends to tell the funny thing to :)

We're in the same boat. I do talk to my kids a lot, during the day, but that just doesn't cut it. I do need some adult interaction. That's why I love Mylot and Facebook too!

Sorry to hear that, Kats. I know how frustrating that can be. I'm home all the time so I sit at the computer just doing this or that. Often times, I practically scream in my head for someone I know to please come online so we can just chat. I don't care who it is, just someone! I know my boyfriend is by far the hardest person to get a hold of (when I was typing the word "hold" I actually originally wrote it as "whold"...wow..) and everyone else is at work. I have a MySpace where I darn near hang around constantly and as soon as someone updates with something new, I'm all on it like a hungry cat. Ugh... If you need someone to chat to, I'm always here. I don't have FaceBook...I do but never on it...I have MSN IM and MySpace so that's about it. We'll have cyber lunch sometimes. *lol* *Pleiades

That sounds a lot like me, I check Facebook 20 times a day to look for updates or status changes. And when I'm not doing that, I'm sitting here on Mylot looking for a discussion to respond to!

Here you can just post what you want then when we are here, we can respond. I know what you mean so I usually just write it down and feel better. I don't use the other social networks, just mylot and I am not sure that would be considered one.....

I know how you feel. I feel like that alot too. I'm usually on so you always have me to talk to! Although I wasn't around this afternoon either. I've been working part time. but now they won't let me use the babysitter i want with the childcare assistance and it isn't worth it for me to put them in daycare so I'm going to have to quit my job. So I'll be around a lot more again.

Man! That totally sucks! Why does it have to be so hard for parents to try to work and better themselves? I'm thinking I may end up getting some sort of job myself. We're really stacking up the bills here. Once we move we're going to have to pay for Satelite TV (no cable service there) which is a new bill because here we don't even pay for our cable. We also now have to pay our car insurance which used to be in the in-laws names. So after our bills we're looking a maybe an extra $10 a week. That's cutting it far too close for our liking. So I'm thinking of just trying to work a Saturday evening each week for a few extra spending bucks a week.

I hate when that happens. That has happened to me and you try to call everyone and nobody picks up. of course, they all wind up calling you back at the same time! That is one thing that can make it hard to be home all day.

Sorry you didn't have anyone to share it with, Kats. I've been gone all day. And when I got home, and my husband got home, we got ready and took off to our grandson's Varsity Soccer game across town (45 mins away). And I haven't been home but about 1 1/2 hours. And I just got your email. It is bad when you need to talk and nobody is available. It's happened to me lots of times.

HI {{Kats}}, I know what you mean! I hope by now things are going much better for you; somedays you do feel like nobody is around for you to share or tell them anything right? Thank God for Mylot!!

hello katsmeow i am here, lol, i had to work some today. i got off work shortly before noon today. so, what do you want to talk about? lol and i am so sorry to hear that you didn't have anybody to talk to earlier, and found nobody online either. lol i have lots of times like that myself, during the daytime, the boys will be at school, and hubby will be at work. so i have nobody left to talk to except for the dog on days like that. i have over three hundred e-mail notifications from all of my friend's around here at Mylot this afternoon, i do not have enough time to possibly respond to all of them, i might have to pick and choose and go from there. lol i need to delete the oldest discussions that i have saved right now, like from a month ago and back maybe? how's it going packing all of your things up? take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

Everyone I want to talk to will be coming available soon. My best friend who lives in Canada will soon be getting home from work, then she'll get an earful about my day! I started a discussion about it because I really had to get it off my chest, so you can find that. My packing is still going slow. I had to go out and get more boxes. I've got a lot left to do, but hopefully it won't take too long.

Katsmeow1213 Wow Its a hard when you feel that you need to vent or need an ear to lean on, I'm glad you eventually got the chance to share it with your first choice your hubby, and hopefully the situation has subsided off your chest to radiate into happy thoughts now. Remember yes there is always someone who will listen at any time of the day or place when you need, always look within first. Also I have found journaling even at that moment can be useful although there is no live person to share it with as a way of releasing that energy, and remember when we continuously retell a story or situation that made us upset in any nature we only fuel it so only fuel the positive energies you feel continuously quickly dispel the negative one. 2yolysempowering

It is called Murphy's Law. This is to say that when we really have a need to talk to someone there is no one to be found. Murphy seems to have had alot of these things come about in his life and he made a whole list of stuff. Here is the link if you interested in learning more: http://www.murphys-laws.com/

It happened to me when the national internet connection was down at once. Trust me it happened once and it was really sad because when I went online with my phone (which means I used the GPRS and not the usual interent service) I found no one in MSN, YM, anywhere. So I understand what you were thinking about and don't worry about that, if it wasn't because of the lousy internet connection, you might just so unlucky today so that no one actually online at that time.

It always happens when you actually need someone to help you out or you always want a perosn to be with you when you almost need them. you wont find them.Actually this all happens when you start expecting too much from life or anyone or yourself even sometimes.Actually it happens all the time that you never have someone closer to you not even the most lovable person but what happens is we tend to realise this defect only when we are alone other times when we are busy with our works we never tend to realise there is something wrong like this.There is nothing called good, bad, wrong, right, true, false in life everything walks the same way what changes is only we and our minds sets..what we need is to be firm on what we do and think then i confirm you, you wnt feel lonely or kept out.start being your own friend, then you dnt need anyone else or need to depend on anyone in your crucial times even...:)
