Yes, I too spend too much time here. But I am trying to get better at when I am on here. I eat my breakfast & lunch here at the computer. I have learned a lot of great ideas since I joined a month ago. This weekend I won't be on it much because I have two dresses to make for a client; have to make the pattern first, so will need complete concentration.

Does someone actually read the chore chart? We have one and none of us read it (me included) I would rather be here or in my sewing room.

It's just me & DH, so I'm the only one to do...or not to do....chores :)

Yes, I spend too much time on here, but I love it. Since I work from home and on the computer all day I get on here in between loans (mortgage loans that I draw), and sometimes I will actually do some quilting at my desk (quilt by hand). I have learned so much and we all laugh, cry and share together. I am lost on the weekends 'cuz I do not turn my computer on, and come Monday morning once I clean out my emails I get on here and see what I have missed. Like I have said before, I just need to interact a little more than I do.

Yep, to much time enjoying everyones contributions. The upside is that rather than boring family and friends with quilting talk I can come here and enjoy.

This Board is a learning experience for me. I dont consider it wasted time, but I do get my laundry, dishes and bedroom done up before I attack the computer or sewing machine. Just takes so much discipline.

I tell myself every night that I will not get on here and spend too much time. I get up each morning and go straight to my email and this board and I am lost for hours. I should be sewing!!

With the Iphone I can check the board anytime I have a few minutes. It's great for when I'm stuck in a waiting room at anyplace boring. I don't have to check my emails or this board so much when I'm home and can be doing other things.

Oh yeah, all my free time seems to draw me into this forum. I have learned so much from reading everything from audio books to steam cleaning with all the wonderful quilters here. Thanks for asking!

I spend to much time here but i enjoy every minute of it

Yes I spend too much time here. Love it and have learned so much.

Yes, I to find myself here when I should be sewing, but I just love all of you so much, I can't stay away :D God bless.

I have to tell you, I love this sight. I can spend hours on it. I guess there are worse thing a person could do with their time.

So glad I'm not the only one spending to much time on this site. Normally I at least make the bed and do the dishes, but not today. Ah well the housework won't be going anywhere and did take borrowed dog for long walk.

When I should be doing that quilt, mmmmm? Yes

I too spend way to much time her but I enjoy all the suggestions, information and even laughs! I just haven't been focused, lately, on my quilting. I have so many that need to be quilted but my preference is for piecing. No I can't afford to send them all outto be quilted.:)

Since I'm a night owl..I'm on all night! Yes I spend too much time here! I have really learned alot though...each section is full of great tips, pictures, sales and fun letters. I love all the pretty quilts, pets, kids, husbands and wives pics, LOVE the pictures section.
Love the stashes that people find on Craigslist, yard sales, goodwill etc. Love the sewing machine collections! The messy sewing rooms, the NEAT sewing rooms, the organizing ideas.
I love anything about quilts and quilting. so it's a joy to be here.

Yes, me, too. I can sometime spend 3 hrs. in the morn. on here. That's one advantage of living alone now. I get excited when I see that "Konstantin" email. It's also fun to ck out all of the links. There is no end to some of them. One leads to another whole list of them. Such fun.

Yes I feel that way too. I tell myself I won't be on for too long but it is so much fun and so informative that I just have to stay on here.

I get on here nearly 3 times a day. Morning, lunch time and night. i first go on facebook and play the few games I do then to the emails. After deleting the junk mail I come here for about 2 hours. I have to thank every one because when I had panic attacks last week, reading all your stories etc helped me to relax enough to go to bed at 2.30am. I would not miss reading your thoughts and opinions as I too am learning more things every day. i have been quilting for 10 years now. :thumbup:

I am always on here when I should be sleeping.. I stay up way way too late at night reading and responding... But it's so much fun.. and I learn so much.. I hate to stop just to sleep.. but then the next morning comes and I say to myself.. gotta quit doing that and go to bed, tonight I will.. But I don't.. Here is is 12:18 am and I'm still here!

I used to be adicted to facebook now I don't have time I am too busy looking here

I do spend a lot of time on here. Wish I could reply to all posts especially in Pictures and Introductions. I feel guilty only replying to some.Unfortunately work and housework does get in the way oh, and I do have to find some time to actually do some quilting.

Yes Joan, I'am right there with you, quilting comes first ! I retired last year at the age of 67 and took up quilting, and it has taken over my live. I love it !!!!!!!!!

Oh YES!

Hey guys!! I have the same problem so I have been brainstorming(this could get scary!!) tee heee, Lets consider this SCHOOL and since so many of us give so much away we could call it a Divine Calling, and then we can get it sanctioned by the church and blessed and our time seen here as protected by the church and and and... if I dont get burned at the stake for blasphemy ! No joke , since I am a bit intense in personality my dear Pastor once told me (TRUTH) when I feel stressed I should just go work on a quilt!!! i asked him if I could get that in writing!!!

Judie, I amd with you there,too, Sleeping is such a waste of time!!! I talk in my sleep and have been known to walk in my sleep I need to think of all nite quilting and sleeping as multi- tasking!! Better put up a warning sign on sewing room door, tho, Armed and dangerous or some such...

I'm going to request that on another forum - Armed and Dangerous". I love it.

I should be getting all the scrapes etc and other things off the floor, but here I am. Must take a break from here and get a few chores done. So much to do and to read. One of these days I will become an organized person.
but would that be fun or not.

I do spend more time here than doing other things! There is so much to read and look at on this site!

I agree with you. One can spend hours here :-)
I'm just learning how to navigate here.

Welcome Judy, from South Louisiana.

me too.

Yes.....yes......& yes!

I love this forum. I feel like some of you are personal friends because I see your posts and pictures daily. I know I should be doing something else but I have to check on my friends!

Yes I do, it is so good to pop back to and see what is going on.
It is too hot to quilt [I hand quilt only] as the extra warmth is unbearable except in short spurts.
