Hello there all my fellow mylotians. You may have noticed that I have been absent for some time. I admit that I left with a very hurt and heavy heart and the upshot of all that emotion was a illness that has taken awhile to get over. My cousin came to stay with me during this rather trying period and as I was off-site, she opened her own paypal account under my reference, opened her own email account and began posting here in my absence. Now, as I was told several times 'way back when' apparently I have many many enemies on this site, and that just begs me to ask, if my cousin's inability to now post under her own name (yes we share a computer, but not an email or paypal account) and "magically" I can now post again, was she targeted by my 'enemies' and blocked from the site? I'm confused. This is an internet site and I realize that due to the nature of it being a paid forum, there are a lot of cheaters and spammers - but is there no leeway for the circumstances of some families who share a computer, but maintain their own accounts? It doesn't seem fair, nor make sense that innocent people should be banned or blocked without explanation or consideration for what the facts of situation might really be. My cousin is returning to her home town soon, and I for one will miss her. She has asked me to tell all her friends to please join MY list and we will all keep in touch through little ol' me. And to all my own friends who were 'magically' deleted from my friends list, please request to join again. I have missed you all and look forward to catching up. Let the games begin! LOL

Welcome back! Missed ya...answered one of your old questions the other night. Thought you were back until I saw it was an old question. Glad you are back! [Debs_place]
Thanks Debs - misse you too. I will have to go back over a lot of my old discussions and catch up on new replies. I noticed a lot of new freinds requests which I have approved and will have to be checking them out and posting on their discussions too. I'm going to be really busy for awhile! lol Feels good! [itsreallymefifty]
Welcome back to MyLot and I hope the health is now 100 % or going in that direction.I am not sure what may have happened before,but I thought MyLot was suppose to be a place to share thoughts and ideas without being judged.People can agree to disagree,but that should not mean taking things and blowing them out of proportion.I know you have been told this before,but try not to let what is said here upset you as only you know you. [lonewolfnan]
Hear hear, lonewolfnan. I agree completely. I'm stronger now, so things shouldn't get to me so much now. But that doesn't mean I'll let anyone push me around anymore though. I've lived too long and hard for that to be an option! Thanks for the welcome back. It means a lot. [itsreallymefifty]
Well, hello itsreallymefifity, Pleased to make your acquaintance. I guess you were off when I joined. My name is Charlene, and I'm glad to meet you on mylot. [charlene2350]
Well hello to you too Charlene - love your name. It's my best friend's name and I miss her terribly. She lives on the other side of the country. I call her Charlie. Does anyone ever call you that? Could I? Please join my friends list, I would really like that. Hugs. [itsreallymefifty]
Welcome Back, fifty. I did enjoy visiting with your cousin. Please tell her to travel safely. I am sorry to hear she is having trouble with the site. Maybe it will get sorted out soon. [royal52gens]
Thanks Royal! She has logged off permanently and we won't be seeing her again. But she has promised to keep an eye on the site and it wouldn't surprise me to pick up the Toronto Sun one day and find an article in it about us all and what a great group we are. I've read many of her other site reviews and she's really quite good and very, very fair. [itsreallymefifty]
I just never liked the thought that anyone but admin at a site could even question that sort of thing. Snooping on us, as it were. And I'd like to think if they wanted to inquire, due to shared computer or whatever, they would do it politely behind the scenes. At any rate, welcome back and let's all enjoy eachother's discussions again! [cremechese]
Yes creme and that is the one of the points my cousin made in her review. Thanks for the support and glad to be back. Maybe now we can all relax and enjoy this site without being afraid of expressing ourselves. Hugs. [itsreallymefifty]
Welcome back and I'm glad you are feeling better. I wish I would have gotten to know your cousin. I read what she wrote with the review. I didn't realize that others were seeing the same things that I was. But anyway, I wasn't on your friends list before but I would like to be. I will be sending you a friends request. Stay strong and keep your head up. [brendalee]
Thank Brenda and welcome to my friends list. My cousin and I got our Journalism degrees from the same Uni years ago. I was ahead of her and I like think I inspired her. We have done a lot of writing together over the years and her style is very similar to mine. I'm sure she would have loved to have gotten to know you better too, but I will keep her updated - no worries! Hugs, Ann Marie [itsreallymefifty]
If this means you are back, than I do believe in miracles. lol. This is great news for sure. Do you think all that negative emotion caused your sickness? I think that is a valid point. I am glad you are again well and healthy. As far as the games beginning...fire away!! I'm on your side. [sigma77]
Thanks Sigma - missed you too friend. When my cousin was posting, she was trying to stay under the mlpd radar and just do some research and make a friend or two along the way. The results of her tenure here are posted in another discussion - which I see you have responded to. Thanks for the support and check my threads for the responses I post to everyone's comments. Hugs, buddy. [itsreallymefifty]
Just Joking so don't get upset. All I have to say is there goes the neighborhood. No longer will there be peace and quiet. No more sitting on the front porch and listening to the birds chirp. Now I will have to listen to the rants of a mad woman. Oh lord. Please help me. Like I said earlier welcome back. [dragonryder]
You love this mad woman - come on - admit it! And even if you don't - this mad woman loves you. Just be thankful that my upcoming move will not be taking me into YOUR neighbourhood! lol. [itsreallymefifty]
I am for one so glad to see you again! I was afraid you had quit for good and I would never get to see one of your posts again! I don't know if I got to meet your cousin or not. I also took a few days to get away and only posted 2-3 times a day. I just needed to get away from the awful stuff going on and see some goodness again. I have requested you as a friend. I thought we were but maybe not. I am still a blond and may be wrong sometimes.LOL I do hope you will accept my offer and be my friend. I like seeing you play here and I like to play here too. I want to be able to keep up better, and having you on my list will facilitate that! [tammyr]
Hey Tammy - yes you are on my list now. Hugs girl, and where are my girlguide cookies? I'm having severe withdrawel here and we have no girl scout troop in our little burg so I can't lay in wait for an unsuspecting guide and bribe her for all her cookies. Life just isn't fair! And don't worry about the site - things can only get better now that the mlpd are on strike. Hopefully the unpleasantness is over. Just remember to report ANY abuse you see - language, copying and pasting, unfair personal attacks etc. We ALL have the responsibility to do that and we should. Nice to see you again Tammy. Hugs - Ann Marie [itsreallymefifty]
Ann Marie, The world has been a sadder place without your presence, for starters no one will reply to any of my discussions. I'm sorry to hear about your Cousins account being closed i wonder if mylot will ever hear from them again? My senses tell me that no we wont. You haven't missed much in your absense, life in mylot has continued much as normal. Welcome back and i hope you stay as long as possible. Wombles are a mans best friend [smuggeridge]
Ah Smug - so so good to see you again. And please sir, may I have a womble? I will pass on your kind words to my cousin - you never know, she may show up in your town one day with greetings from me and a handwritten invitation to visit! [itsreallymefifty]
Hey, Fifty, Welcome back! You were missed here. I'm not sure I understand exactly what happened with your cousin. If she's gone home, can't she now post from her own home computer? If her writing is anywhere near the level of yours, she'll be a welcome edition. Anyway, glad you're back and hope you'll keep us posted on the new house. [irisheyes]
Hello Irish - glad you missed me! I missed all of you too. My cousin logged in when I was unable to basically for research purposes. See my discussion "Paid Forum Review". That is her swansong to the site. But she's a writer like me, and will be popping up all over from time to time, never fear! As for the new house, yes, it's time I got back to my Dream House Cronicles. Things are happening for sure! Good to see you again girl, and if you're not on my friends list (a lot got deleted when I left) then please rejoin. And thanks for the kind ocmments on my writing - I taught my cousin everything she knows, so yes, she's almost as good as I am! lol [itsreallymefifty]
