Got some work done on my book yesterday. / myLot

I miss @Just4Him. We used to banter a bit about the 49ers and Packers. She is from Green Bay and is a Packers fan. She also enjoyed writing, and would use her Horse Prod to keep me working on my developmental psychology book. I've been a bit lazy recently, but yesterday I did some writing on the Autistic kid at the preschool who loved music. I could finish that chapter today if I wanted to. But a part of me would miss the fond memories that come up when I write about his progress. Anyway, that's what's on my mind this morning.

I never read a post written by @Juat4him. What happened?

I don't know if pony misspelled her name on purpose or not. Since we aren't allowed to talk about other myLotters according to GAA, his discussion could get deleted if he wrote her name correctly. The current GAA is stricter about the rules than any previous GAA was. But yes, you did use to talk to her.

I am not sure why she left. She was an engaging MyLot member.

@DaddyEvil It was just a typo. I do not know about this "rule."

Of course, you could always read your own book (after you get it published) to bring back fond memories...

I'm surprised you aren't still in contact with her through email or over the phone.

@TheHorse I assumed you did. I had her phone number for text messages but got a new phone a couple of weeks ago. Something went wrong when I transferred all the contacts from my old phone to the new one. The new phone said it was done transferring them so I wiped the old phone's memory and gave it to Pretty. THEN discovered none of the contacts transferred over.

I talked to her two weeks ago, and Valerie said she might come back after the new year.

Glad to hear you are continuing to work on your book. There are days I feel lazy but then I force myself to write up at least two new articles to make things easier as the week progresses,

Yep. Sometimes I slip into "get 'er done" mode, even when I am feeling lazy.

I love the instrument in your photo. Good luck with your book. I'm creeping into a story that I started about 3 years ago and never finished. It's a psychological study. It's not been easy revisiting it and me.

I hope you get some work done on your story. Let me know if you want ideas from the world of "academic psychology."

The photo is of a relatively inexpensive mandolin that I own. .
