All of us like our computers. Some of us have written temporary goodbyes due to the addicting nature of the beast!

I myself just disappeared for a week or so thinking I'd not be on the computer much, if I only played games. LOL I found myself spending MORE time on the computer!!!

What I want to know is - how much time are we REALLY spending on the computer???

AND how many groups you regularly check into.....

Check all that apply!

I think this will be interesting to see too Bird........great idea.........

I spend 1-3 checking my email and the 1-3 sites I visit daily......lol.lol...
does that help? Monday - friday...this applies but.....

Not near as much on weekends when DH is home though.....
(he is on it muh more hen I am on the weekends.....lol...lol...lol.....

A good portion of my time on the computer is spent working so I do have more hours. This entails the research that I need to do, checking e-mails, downloading and uploading of files, etc.

Play time can vary depending on the day and what I have going on.

I check email - I check the news on My Yahoo - I come here and read or play -

What can I say. The computer is the biggest part of my life now. Yes I'm the one who admilled to 7 to 9 hrs on computer..

I turn on the computer upon rising, when ever that is, and usually stay on until nap time. Then, at least 4 hrs in the evening. Used to be more, but I go to bed a little earlier now...about midnight..LOL

And to think, I didn't even have a computer until I was 61/62. When DH passed away, I was 63 and this, became my home. I spend most of my time right here at NT.

I do go play Word Whomp at Pogo and work some downloaded jig saw puzzels, and do all my shopping online.....and of course check my e-mail ( I have bunches of e-mail buds.

Anyone else as addicted as I am? Come on, admit it..

Did I see Pogo? LOL I play games on there too! Maybe we've bumped into each other and didn't know!

Anyone else out there Pogo?

How many hours are there in a day? Because I think I need more time on the computer.


I spend a lot of time on the computer reading fan fiction, and checking the forums that I go to. I read this forum and I'm on about 3 or 4 other forums that are crochet and knitting related.

I'm also always searching for new crochet or knitting patterns, so if I'm not on a forum chatting with someone, I'm probably googling for a crochet pattern.

I had to answer 10 or more hours on the computer, but 8 of those are at work! Sometimes I am on in the evening for an hour or two, it just depends on how rough a day I've had at work and if I need to take a nap like I did last night! LOL

On the weekends, I'm probably on about 10-12 hours a day, mostly my game on those days because I need to do something fun to unwind!

I included my normal four hours at work where I'm on a puter the whole time.

LOL, being married to a computer guy I am definitely surrounded. With the weather warming up, I'll probably be on less and less.

I'm glad some of those 10 plus hours are work time too! Whew! I guess what I really was looking for was leisure time!

And I too also usually am on the computer less on the weekends.

I really feel that sometimes I park here too much!

I think the computer has been a blessing this past year. I met some lovely people on it. Talking to people and playing games has helped my cognition come back to good speed.

But I noticed especially playing games, that I tended to tell my family to wait a minute "I can't come/talk/listen right now, I have to finish this game." No one complained, but it really bugged me, so I'm trying to not be sitting here quite so much!!! On sites, on email I can let it sit and deal with whatever, but those games!!! LOL uh oh!!!!
