How long?
MiracleMan said on September 7, 2003 19:35:
Since I signed up for the discussion groups not so very long ago, I’ve been spending a looooooooooooot of time on the computer.
Sometimes I’m on for well over two hours—sometimes a couple of times a day. That’s quite an increase since I used to do that [hours on the computer] maybe—maybe—maybe three times a month.
Not sure if it’s the intoxication of being a part of a worldwide community or the chuckles I get from reading the threads, but the question comes to this:
What’s the average time spent on line? Mostly in here?

I spend all the time on the PC. From about 1pm maybe earlier, until about 2 am?! LOL! Depends on how tired I am. I have no life! :(

That’s ok, Den. I was thinking about what else I do “outside” too. Work, sure, and I read—”scores” of books, newspapers, magazines—and TV, naturally, go to movies, visit friends. . . but it seems that I’ve been on the computer excessively lately. In fact I spent 2 hours here when I got up today, took a shower and came right back for—50 minutes now. LOL.
It’s like an addiction, this. TDR Forum Crack. Can’t wait to get a hit from all my new pals.
BTW—just bought Den Ständiga Resan (see the Listening To thread if you’re interested in the “exciting find” I made—). I like I En Tid Som Vår a little better, but I was geeked (geek being the optimal word there, I think) to see your handle. Nothing like being in the know, huh.

And with that bit of sadness, I think I’ll get out of the house for a while.
But once in the bloodstream. . .
And ya know I’ll be crawling back (*tomorrow, tomorrow, not again today, enough for now, pace yourself, man*—furiously scratching the vein on his arm). . .

Welcome, but be aware that TDR is so addictive!!!! First time when I sign up here, I used to spend 3 or more hours a day ... and it last till 2 months ago ... and now I only spend 30 minutes a day (not everyday)!!! :D

Thanks, Aaso! :D
(I know I said I was leaving, but I just spent ten more minutes responding to another thread in the main forum. [up to 1hr, 15 mins now+ the two earlier. And I forgot I spent time here last night before I went to bed and it was well after midnight when I arrived. . .Sweet Lord! There’s a monkey on my back! Kill it! Kill it!]
I swear I’m logging out and shutting down. Now.)
(After I check one more thing. . .)

Well at this moment in time... as I have no life and I quit my job... I am a free agent to spend as long or as little on the internet... since quitting my very boring job 2 weeks ago I have spent many hours on the net doing all kinds of stuff...

Since yesterday I don’t have access to Internet in my computer at work because of a stupid woman who works with me (long story), so I’m gonna have to spend less time on line, maybe half an hour in a day :-(
On weekends I’ll take a little more time. However I think I won’t be here as much as I’ve been lately :-(
PD: But I’ll try... :-)

between 30 minutes and 2 hours a day, depends on the amount of new/interesting subjects

For me, I spend anywhere between 4-8 hours a day. I work a split shift, so I come home and sometimes log on. I spend a couple of hours here, reading and posting. Other times, it’s only about half an hour.
