How many hours a day logged in to DU is considered NORMAL?

[madison2000]

I'm starting to get worried.

[alexisfree]

1. 24/7!!

[babylonsister]

2. I know the feeling. I read and lurk quite a bit, and

DU is my homepage! :toast:

[NYC Liberal]

25. I have the Lounge set at my HP.

Sad isn't it? :P

[StrongbadTehAwesome]

29. oh, good lord, if I had this place set as my homepage,

I'd never get ANYTHING done! :)

[Kellanved]

3. 24

More than that might be an indicating of severe problems.

[Hans Delbrook]

4. Normal is a cycle on a washing machine

If you think it's OK, then it's probably OK. If you're worried, then you should ask yourself why. I think we all (should) define normal for ourselves.

5. I have just now signed up, but I have been reading the fourm for about a

mounth and I would say each day about a half hour.

[madison2000]

8. Welcome!

That's how it all starts...

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[LincolnMcGrath]

9. Welcome New EvilDUer!

As to your half hour estimate, hahahahahaha! You will get hooked like the rest of us.

[Droopy]

11. Oh, no! You've started posting. That's the end of that 1/2 hour

a day stuff! :) Pretty soon you'll start wondering how you managed to survive without posting on DU. Welcome and happy posting. :toast:

6. alexisfree may have it right, but exactly what is normal????

I would find myself on here for 4 to 6 hrs. a day when I wasn't working. Then I realized that the work around the house was REALLY piling up and after 2 weeks of that, I had to restrict login time to 2 hours.

Talk about discipline. . . . . . oye vey!

[alexisfree]

13. well I dont log off!

as soon as wake up , turn on my computer and there it is!!! DU as a home page.....:spank: bad alex ,bad bad..

[madison2000]

14. Forget your housework- what happens when too many unread posts

pile up? Isn't that more important, really? I mean, especially in the DU Lounge!

:silly: :freak: :dunce: :crazy: :think:

[kc.ink]

21. sorry, house trashed and desk trashed I CAN'T function. It's all about

goals and limits and who can get the most ISN'T it ????
That is what the world has come to, corporate greed.

The more I sit and plink away at the keyboard the less my body does and the more old age sneaks in. Therefore limits must be set and geee, I am way over right now. . . . later. lol lol lol

7. When I have a day off

I spend most of the day on DU with breaks to eat and maybe visit with people. When I'm working I'll spend about 4-5 hours a day on DU. Sounds like a lot, but then I rarely watch tv and some people spend just as much time doing that. At least here I'm engaging my brain. My writing skills have gotten a lot better since I've started DUing.

[Merlot]

18. So true!

The average TV time is something like 3-4 hours A DAY! That's every day. And it's so passive compaired to the computer.

[patdem]

10. Upon waking...of course your 'gittin ready' stuff is beside your computer

of course that is after your shower...then you might log off for work and then upon arriving at work you log back on..and peek occassionally so as not to draw attention to yourself...then when you get home you log back on and stay there till you go to bed? Are you a freak? Why are you asking?? :shrug:

[babylonsister]

15. LOL!

[sam sarrha]

12. we are all terrified of the "Train Wreck" and figure we will hear about it

here first.... wont make any difference.. we will all be in the same soup line in a week.. we can talk about it then.

"my grand mother said there was not sin in catching an infestation of lice.. but it was a sin to not do something about it".. guy on CSPAN

[babylonsister]

16. I love that quote!

Grandmas know, don't they? And SO applicable to our current voting situation!

[patdem]

17. I heard that guy this AM..he was talking about voting bush** in

no problem gettin lice (bush) the problem is is not doing sumptin about it (bush)...I loved that comment and chuckled when he made it!

19. Normal is whatever you make of it.

If it interferes with your offline life, you may want to cut back. If it doesn't - well, how you spend your free time is up to you.

[orpupilofnature57]

20. Logged in or tuned in?

[Ladyhawk]

22. I dunno, but I've been maniacally posting all day long.

I'm manic today and flustered.

[graywarrior]

23. Sometimes I can limit myself to 15 mins or a half hour

but on nights like tonight, it's a fucking addictive marathon where I develop a migraine and still can't stop

[Be Brave]

24. It's like eating potato chips.

Once you read a thread, you can't stop. :)

Sometimes I spend too much time in here that I know that I can be doing something else more productive. I am aware of this, so some days I just don't go here, to resist the temptation of spending hours upon hours of reading and posting.

[Solly Mack]

26. no no no...you can't use such a false construct as normal

it is what it is

[Deja Q]

27. 28/7?

:shrug:

[UrbScotty]

28. Two on 'weekdays' four on weekends for me. (nt)
