I'm back - but why was I away for so long?

I have returned to myLot after an absence of nearly two years. So what have I been doing? Ok, I'm going to make a game of this! I will give five options and we will see who guesses correctly. The winner will receive, well, not very much actually, just my undying admiration for guessing correctly! Option 1 - I was kidnapped by aliens: Option 2 - I went on a journey of discovery to 'find myself'; Option 3 - I had an accident and was put into a coma from which I have only just recovered; Option 4 - I was co-opted into a secret government programme which demanded that I drop out of sight until it was finished; Option 5 - I accidentally deleted the myLot bookmark on my favourites bar and couldn't find my way back to the site. Take your pick and we'll see who guesses correctly!

Welcome back. May I suggest you read the myLot "Help" section just to familiarize yourself with the rules for the site again?
Have questions about myLot? Help is here!

Thanks - but no, that's not the reason.

@ScotMac Option 2 perhaps. Or…none of the above. You just took a break.

Option 2- I think you went on a journey of discovery to find yourself. I hope you found yourself.

I did - but I didn't like what I found so I reinvented myself as a sarcastic, fast-talking, mickey-taking, hairy-arsed Scotsman!

@ScotMac — glad you made it back and didn’t get accidentally dropped off in Edinburgh, Indiana by mistake.

Welcome back I would guess pontt 5!

Wouldn't it be exciting if it were option 1, 3, and 4? Option 5 could only happen if you don't even remember the name of the site called MYLOT. I want to believe it's option 2. Coz that has happened to me too.

Hello welcome back. I would say none of these.

Hello and welcome back. I would say option 5 but this sounds boring, let's say that option 1 or 2 sound more interesting.

Most likely you were on a journey to find yourself and I hope you are now back to stay,

Option 5. But Option 1, 2, and 4 sound interesting.

Maybe option 2 (midlife crisis and all that). I sincerely hope it wasn't option 3. Whatever. Welcome back.

I think option number two But Option 1 would be more fun.

Probably number 5, but I'm especially fond of number 4. Anyway, welcome back!
