What happened to PaintsonSlate? Are there certain MyLotters you miss?

Probably my favorite thing about MyLot is the diversity of the people I meet here. Some share my tastes in music. Some don't listen to music. Some are from California. Others are from virtually everywhere else. Some are even from the upside down part of the Earth, and I worry about them falling off, as I did as a child. But I'm always a bit sad when a favorite MyLotter disappears from the radar screen. Do you remember PaintsonSlate? I enjoyed both our discussions and her art work. I don't remember when I noticed her missing in action. There are several others I could mention, but I'm wondering who other "veteran" MyLotters miss. Actually, I'm not a true veteran, but you get the idea.

May is a melancholy month in myLot land for me. May 1 was Fredo’s birthday, and he passed away last year. And the 17th is the two-year anniversary of myLotter John Roberts’ passing. Lori (JoyDorsey) is still alive but she left the site. Wish she’d come back.

Apparently he passed away. I had not known that. If I die, will Vanny let MyLotters know? Would SHE know? I try to keep MyLot separate from my personal life.

There are a few but names elude me now. I believe one was James Hxstatic and I was with him on other sites so I knew him a while online until we met up here, He left for a bit and then came back and now I do not know what happened, A couple of other like that and nothing you can do about it if you do not know what happened,

@TheHorse @just4him was doing fine when I was texting with her a couple of weeks ago. She left myLot because it was taking up too much of the time she needed to be working on her books.

Yep. I have "on the side" relationships with a few MyLotters. But if friends like @JustForHim disappeared (I haven't heard from her recently), I would not know what happened.

@TheHorse @justForHim is okay. I receive her bible studies via email. She did announce she was leaving in a post two or three weeks before she actually left.

I'm sorry; but I didn't know PaintsonSlate. I miss Scott Andersen (Doc); but I see him on Facebook. There are others like John Roberts that have been gone a long time. I often wonder about him. Some others come and go with long lapses in between like Dianne and Andria. Postscript: I see below that Four Walls says that John Roberts passed away. I must verify this.

There are many. As time passes, that list gets bigger. I won't mention any names, I don't even remember the names of some to be honest. There's only one "ex-user" I can keep in touch with elsewhere.

I miss several myLotters, some are no more, but I will always remember them. I think to remember that paintsonslate opened a small craft store and she is surely very busy with real life.

@TheHorse I remember a very active user @hereandthere who also does not show up from ages. Another one was a veteran @SIMPLYD, the one who convinced me to join myLot. What is weird about PaintsonSlate is the fact that her account does not exist anymore. She met personally with another user @BelleStarr, may be she knows.

I searched and searched and found the post of BelleStar with @PainsOnSlate. You wrote her username wrong and this is why I could not find it. Here is her last post, where she said (in the comments) she was busy painting and selling stuff in Niagara
I have been busy with my art and couldn't be here for a few weeks and when I tried to get here....0pps, you don't belong here.... So this is a test. Lets see...

@TheHorse I remembered that she had plans to start a business with her paintings. I had to go through all the posts of BelleStart to find the correct username, from that I found her last post.

I don't remember interacting with her here. I just did a quick search here reading your post and found that she was last active in October. It's been a long time and she was here from last seven years. So qualifies in a way to be called a veteran mylotter. I hope that she is away from here for some good reasons and you get to see her back soon

U don't think I have been on myLot long enough to "miss" anyone. But I now what you mean because I used to be on a similar site many years ago and there was a woman posting on that site multiple times a day and she was really instrumental in keeping things lively there. Then her husband decided to divorce her and she got depressed and had to go out and find a job that paid more than freelance writing so she disappeared. I still think of her now and then and miss her writing. This was about 10 years ago too!

I do remember Paintsonslate and wonder what happened to her. There are quite a few myLotters missing lately and don't know if they've found another site to spend their time on or just taking a break.
