I have 12 friends in mylot now, 10 of which asked them to be my friend. For whatever reason they have to ask, I am so very grateful. There is a certain happy feeling that you get everytime somebody ask to be your friend. I just want to tell my new friends that I am not always at mylot and I wish that you understand that no matter how much I want to reply to your discussins, I either mostly can't think of anythig to say or, I missed it too long that I feel it's irrelevant to answer.
I'm saying this because there are mylotters who expect their friends to post a reply when they start a discussion. In as much as I want to all the time, I am limited to be online because of certain things i'm finishing right now and sometimes, I can't think of anything to say about a certain topic my friends post. To top it all, I am a full time homemaker for an eight year old daughter and a twelve year old son.
You are probably wondering why I started this discussion. Well, simply because some people expect too much... sometimes, more than you can give.

That is fine. MyLot is a community of sincere friends, people from countries around the world. It is in many ways a community with members helping and cooperating with each other as best they can. So, do what you can, and all myLotters will understand. They are also doing the best they can, as I can see it.
Happy myLotting !

hi ench just a minute, on mylot we have a nice lady who has painful legs and cares for five or six special needs children, yet she does make
time to make discussions and respond to us. Look you are not expected to be a Hemingway, just write a little from the heart and all of us will love it. As a therapist told me you can always do more than you think you can. So just post a few en couraging words to your friends that is all they want, not a ton of words. talk to us like we are next door neighbors talking at the fence. so many say the same thing and I am wondering why they even bother to come on a social site if they are so afraid of what to say, just be yourself and say what you would say to the other person if you were face to face with them. if my friend with the special needs kids can respond then so can you my friend.look at the lovely discussion you just posted.you are truly intelligent and intelligent people know what to say usually.

Hi Hatley! I'm so happy that you have such a sweet friend. But I also want to say that we are all unique individuals who has capacities all to their own. Honestly and sincerely, I don't want to offend you by saying this. I really don't want to be a Hemmingway, or a Shakespeare either,I just want to be accepted for what I am. I am not a genius but thank you for saying I'm intelligent. But this is me. I only say something when it's called for or when I have knowledge about the topic at hand. I enjoy reading the discussions and responses on the topic I like in mylot without even participating for a day just to get paid. I can not be in the internet everyday, too. If you noticed, my rating is only 98 after a month and a half. With these reasons, I hope you understand.
In real life, I have bestfriends whose been with me for almost 30 years but they don't care if I say anything during our dates. Maybe, it's because they also know that when I say something, it comes from my heart. I'm sorry if I didn't sound right for you and I wish I could meet your friend.
Thank you for calling my attention about this matter. I would really try to be more sensitive. But I can also only give what I can. Best regards.
