Survey-- how often do you visit a message board

[Judith T.]

I am just wondering cause I have spent two hours on line surfing though my favorite web sites... ( I am waiting for my DD to finish her project and let me get back to working on my newest quilt. I can not wait until her machine comes back from the repair shop. )

the dreaded question.... How much time do you spend surfing ... when you could be quilting ?

[Vireya J.]

I don't think I would like to see the answer if I added up all the time I spend on the internet! It is not only quilting, I have quite a few interests where I regularly visit to read and contribute to forums. There are many, many blogs I visit about 2 -3 times a week. Plus a few I check out every day. And then there is all the news sites I read - it is great to have access to the whole world.

I probably spend at least 5 hours a day on the internet.

I check out TQS every day. Most times I'm on 45 min to an hour. If I have some extra time I'll check out links in the forum. If I'm not pressed for time, I'll post but usually I just read. I love it. Gloria

I check this one once or twice a day. I also look at the QIAD forum. Very different from this one but nice. There are three or four blogs I keep up with. I guess I spend about two or three hours a day on the computer. Except when I have a project going. IMO it's alot more productive and better for my brain than zoning out in front of the TV.

Depends on what I am doing. I check this site at least once, often 2-3 times a day so I figure I am on here for about a half hour to 45 minutes doing that. I check Comcast for news and stuff and surf that for another half an hour or so (also check my email then too) and then if I have a little free time of an evening I indulge in my other online activity - POKER!! I just play freerolls most of the time, although I have about $12 in an account on Pokerstars with which I occationally play $1 sit and gos or micro money tournaments. If I get into a good tourny though, I could be playing for 2 hours or more depending on how I finish. Last night I played one for 2 1/2 hours and ended up 376 out of almost 12,000 players - out of the money but not bad really. You had to be in the top 99 to win anything though.

I am visting TQS and 5 more quiltrelated sites when I want to relax my brain..that way it do not take up time from quilting...or work.

I will make a new string in the FORUM if I feel I have something "important" to say. 8)
I will reply if I need to say something that hasnt already been adressed.

I will make a blog if I have some greate pictures I want to show you all, a quilt I want you to see or I need some love and support :wink:
I will make comments to the blogs if I have the time to do so...and I know I can do a better job at that :cry:

I have been on for 7 1/2 months.

I LOVE TQS so you would find me on here every time I am logged on internett, but I do visit Sharon Shambers site, QNNTV and some of the blogs hosted by other TQS members.

Hate to admit, but I usually visit several times a day unless I'm traveling. Often just a quick look at the forum and blogs, though.

LadyRags, are you aware that your type is HUMONGOUS? I know you have been having much difficulty with type font etc, and I thought you said the other day that some of that was resolved with Mozilla download (I assume Firefox). Did you know your type is about 5 times larger and your line spaces about the same? If it works for you, hey, it doesn't bother me. I just wanted you to know.

[Jean H.]

Well I was a visiter about 3 to 5x a day but life has been happening and I havent even been Quilting at all in about 2 months, so when things settle down I will be back several x`s a day, Jean

[Eileen K.]

It depends on the list. Some I participate in, some I lurk. I don't clock my time, I just know it's too much. I feel like I'm losing my life sometimes.

Thank goodness I thought I was a TQS addict. :shock: I check the site about 3 times a day. I usually do it when I get bored and can not handle looking at the T V anymore. I have run out of fabric to cut and iron. I hate applique now more then ever :!: Actually I think it hates me. I really miss my sewing machine. I wish it were next month so that it was fixed already. I am going thru withdrawls. I think I need professional help ops: Rachel

[Eileen K.]

I sypathize with you Rachael...If I couldn't have my machine for a week or more I think I would really get bored. But I have a Sears machine to fall back on and I also like to read. ( I usually do that on days that I don't feel up to par) Here's hoping you get your machine back real soon. Nan

[Mary K.]

Generally twice a day for me - first thing in the morning for a quick e-mail and TQS check, and then a longer stint at night (maybe an hour). Not enough quilting time anymore! :wink:

[Sandy F.]

I check in about 3 times a day. Morning, noon and night.

[Judith T.]

I graze all day long. I have no life. :roll: Judy in AZ
