How long do you spend on GN?

I usually dip in an out - usually when I stop for a coffee (which I now realise is quite often blush. When I do log on I often see the same posters who seem to spend a lot of time on GN. Obviously they could be doing the same as me and just dipping in and out but it has made me wonder how long does the average (if there is such a thing) GN spend logged in at any one time.

Too long. I am trying to wean myself off it but think I may need professional help!

Depends on whether I'm working or not. On work days, I only log on in an evening and if I'm not going out or have friends round. On non working days, I tend to nip in and out. I've made some great friends on GN that I'm in contact with daily.

It’s very addictive, isn’t it?

I am another dipper for whom GN is a bit of a lifeline as I don't get out very much but I only post occasionally. There is always someone on here ready to offer support and help if needed. My own feeling is that there are less fun threads on here nowadays and wittyness is in short supply although I have to admit that I don't feel very witty myself particularly over the last year and with all that we have had to cope with. hmm Sadly, I don't feel that I have ever made any real connections on here but then I appreciate the anonymity so I guess those two things are not compatible anyway.

In the early days the first thing I did each morning was visit Gransnet. So many interesting threads, climate change, vaccinations, GMOs, so many I now can’t remember them. The best were wild parties, they were fun, we were a rat bag lot with wild imaginations. There were lots of heated arguments too, it’s pretty tame now but....still annoying when some posters feel the need to snipe at the same people. I remember many new posters never returning because of bossy Gransnetters.

Now I only log on a few times a week.

I think it’s a bit sad many posters have changed their name.

I come on GN first thing while I have my cup of tea in bed. If there are interesting threads I may continue reading while I have breakfast. I will return late in the evening to read updates before I go to bed.

It varies with me. I have been busy lately. I tend to look in last thing at night. There iare a lot of things I ought to be doing which I have put off.

In the past I have some time spent a long time on here in a day.

Sitting in my dressing gown when 9am is looming is not a good way to start a day .

I wake early so often log on whilst DH is still asleep. Then during the day when I am having a coffee e.g. Sometimes in the evening if DH is watching a program on t.v. I am not interested in.

Have to confess I rarely actually log off at all - is that really bad?? Then dip in and out...
