Do you feel you spend TOO much time here?

Do I spend too much time here? No. :)

Online? Probably. My life is really busy, though, so I consider my online time as my escape. I'm not on when I have other responsibilities, but if it weren't for my mindless time on the net I'd probably be in the looney bin by now.
 
I tend to do the same thing- stop in here to read threads inbetween doing other things. Like now, I had 10 minutes free before I had to head to the vet's office for my next errand of the morning. I spent those 10 minutes here.
 
When I chatted a lot I always felt guilty. The beauty of the BB is being able to walk away so easily, or even just listen to someone else. It's odd to give a lot of time to essentially strangers, but I think of it as time for myself.
 
Could you define "to much"?

LOL, yeah, I probably do.

Its escapism, I know it, I understand it but its not as self destructive as some thing people do. I'm not into drugs and go days without alchol.
 
Actually - I don't think I've been spending enough time here lately...

Mine is similar to that. Sometimes I just simply have more time to "play" and not tied down to doing alot so I am free to post, others though I have alot on my plate and cannot visit and post. I guess it is hit and miss, not too much sometimes and way too much others.......
 
Nope. Used to pop online just to check the boards and e-mail. Now I check the boards and E-mail when I'm online working or talking to Nick ;)

I'm on the board so much because I'm usually working and will pop in on and off between codes or pages so I don't get bored with the work. I get done alot faster that way when I'm not mindlessly staring at my work and boring myself with it.
 
I used to, I was here every damn moment I could be, NOW, well now I spend maybe 30 minutes a day here, and that's throughout the whole day.

I lost faith last time all the crap went on, and now I don't care to be a part of it, so I tend to guard myself against certain things.

I don't open all threads anymore, and I don't feel the need to answer all threads anymore ... But I'M Happy so what does it matter right.

In my opinion it doesn't matter how long you spend here, if your happy then what does it have to do with everyone else?
 
No, I dont feel I spend to much time here. I love the time on here, and the people I have the privalige of spending it with.

But if I were'nt on the BB, what would I be doing now?

Probably watching T.V., or getting drunk, or MAYBE getting laid......God only knows.....
 
Can you spend too much time here?

Is there such a thing? I agree with harpoon. Besides going on lit is better than reading the newspaper or watching the news on t.v. It is also more informative and less depressing. One can learn about many different subjects, and express oneself to others. Plus there are so many interesting people on lit from different ages and different lifestyles. Different "kinks" and different "fetishes." It's a great place to meet people. I know that there are many people that I would like to meet on lit and become friends with. There CERTAINLY are women on lit that I would like to get intimate with. I didn't realize that there are so many unsatisfied females out there. If I didn't go on lit, how would I know that? Maybe I should do a knew thread. Who on Lit would you like to get intimate with...and why?
 
Probably.
But then I have very little else to do. I have been retired for twelve years. Most places to fly model airoplanes are now housing developments.
I spend time here while my wife does her home-work, she went back to school to keep the grey cells working.
 
It's a addictive habit...

I wake up each morning, do zazen, read all the online papers, check the asian and European markets, then come to Lit as a last stop.

At noon and four, I come in to catch up on the markets and the news, and then stop at Lit.

In the evening, after everyone is to bed, I get my wiskey and again check the markets and news, and I stop at Lit.

PS, there is a very good chance US tech stocks will crash again on Monday's open. Just a few more hours and I can catch the opening of the Asian markets. toodles!

What The_old_man said except that I still have a working interest in my on-line business so I'm popping in and out of Lit all the spare time I get.
