Way, way too much time, but it is so fun. I always look at the main first, then the pictures. Keep getting more and more ideas and inspiration and KNOWLEDGE!

I'm addicted! WAAAYY too much time.. My computer is warming up while I fry my two eggs in butter and heat my coffee. I check my email for anything really important, and then go here. I have to check in on all the threads. If I'm really not interested, as in LA conversations, I don't read further. But I read at least some of most posts, and all of most of them. I'm one who usually has something to say about everything, but I try not to post just to say, "I don't know the answer, but your quilt is beautiful."

The number of things I have learned here is unbelievable. I have spent up to three hours a day here, but now it's more like two or less in the morning. Then, especially if I have posted something, I will check back in the evening to see what someone else has said.

Like most of you, it's with my first cup of joe in the morning. DH leaves for work at 530, wakes me up, I get G-dau up school at 6 and then this is my next. I spent about 2 hrs on the board unless I have something specifically I am looking up. Usually start reading Main and go right down the line.

Ever morning if 2 year old grandson is behaving. Otherwise I go on at night for 45 minutes to an hr.

I'd guess at maybe an hour a day--some days more because more have posted something I am interested in. DH has put the bird feeder up for the winter, so first thing I do is go out and scream (literally) at Sophie (outdoor cat) to get out from under that bird feeder, then grab my first cup of coffee, relax and wake up discussing today's schedule with DH; then to reading what's going on with all the ladies and J Miller here on the board. He is almost as smart as my DH, and twice the comic according to his writings. Some days I don't even go out to my sewing room; but when I do my son and I usually get a lot done--he quilts on my LA, and we always have one loaded; and I either piece or work on a mending project--I have lots of requests from GKs, DD, DDIL, other son for a waist that needs taken in, or hemming that needs to be done by Sunday for church. Love you one and all. Thanks for keeping my brain active.....

Y'all make me feel so good because I'm not the only addict here. I get up, let the dogs out, get my tea and open QB. Usually spend a coupld of hours here, but I will check back after I go to bed at night just to make sure I don't miss anything. Everyone has such great ideas. I've found great patterns and wonderful tutorials. everyone is so willing to help and answer questions. I think this is a great family!

Pictures--that is the first and sometimes the only place I go to when I get on here. That alone is addicting and inspiring.

I spend about 1 hour (in the office) in segments of 10 minutes or so. I look at the photos first then at the chit chat. I love posts like the puns and I share them with the teachers of my school. Everybody loves them.

my husband says I spend too much time on it. But thats his opinion. Mine not enough but have to do other things around the house and then try to get some sewing done
