Default How Much of Your Time Do You Spend On Message Forums??

So everyone...I've been trying to cut back a bit on the time that I spend on message forums. I have three (including this one and the "other" one) that I post on fairly regularly. I've been cutting back on not only the number of posts, but the time I spend on the sites as well. I spend most of my time here now playing that damn "Snake" game...it's addicting.

But anyways...

How much time do you spend on message boards everyday?? Do you spend most of your time on forums while you're at work?? While you're at home??

I used to spend a ton of time on boards when I worked at a place that had a PC in front of me all day long. I didn't have an awful lot to do, so I spent the majority of my 8 hour work day looking at the internet. Message forums gave me something to actually do to interact with others while messing around on the net.

I'm trying to get myself all the way to the point where I only visit sites once in the morning and then once at night...but it's tough. These place are addictive!!!

I spend way to much time here but oh well gives me something to do when I am not out looking for a job. I guess I am in and out 12 to 14 hours a day.

I do most of my time now while I'm at home. I work 10 hour days and I don't have really easy access to a computer...only on breaks. So I spend most of my time on forums when I get home from work before I have dinner. I also will usually check a few posts on my breaks at work.

I do have to admit that while I was on vacation a few weeks ago, I was on forums a LOT more than I care to admit!!!

I also have to admit that while I was in Vegas last year, I actually connected to DIAL UP to get some fixes!!!

ewwww dial up, I think I would have to pass on that. I did buy one of those wireless things that plug into the usb port to get internet last year when I was living in a rv while working 120 miles from home. The rv park did not have any service but I did get some service out there.

I almost said 24 hours, but that's not quite true. I do sleep, and I can't always use my blackberry (when I'm riding for example) but most of the rest of the time, I'm checking in here or one of a few other forums either on the BB or my laptop.

I have tried to cut back, but the mere attempt usually results in spending even more time on here somehow. So now I just don't worry about it.
