When we are home, I try to check the board every day. We have been out two weeks with no WiFi at our site. Had to walk to camp store. Didn't want to sit there for hours so am trying to catch up now. We are at the dealer's waiting for some one to look at our fifth wheel that needs some work done on it. Hopefully I can get a few days' looked at so I won't be so far behind when we do get home. Have saved as lot of the days' so my in-box is really full. Need to go thru them and see why I saved them so I can clean it out.

Keeps me busy till noon every day! Then there is work to do! If I sew it invariably happens towards evening!

Ditto, ditto and more ditto's!!!!

QB has become new routine -Wake up-make coffee -go to computer -read all . Oh no is it lunch time already.

Not only do I spend more time on the Board than I do quilting but almost every day I see another pattern or idea that I would like to try. I am really loosing ground here but having a lot of fun doing it.

Yep...know the feeling!

I find I"m the same way. I should be getting the Halloween stuff out and putting it up. Then going to my studio and finding my witch pattern. I know it's sort of late getting started on it...but maybe I"ll have it done in time for Thanksgiving!! LOL I find I'm always way behind...but wouldn't get rid of my computer. I love "talking" to everyone.

The pieces to the baby quilt are all cut, the machine is ON and I just stopped for a minute(1/2 hr ago). Must go back to sewing room....

Yeah...in Missouri we're "fixin'" lots of things! fixing some supper, fixing to whoop some butt, etc., fixing to get off of hear and go do some laundry before my DH fixesto come in hear and knaw my ear off! LOL

I usually fix dinner here in MA, but tonight DH is going to a meeting, a dinner meeting - YAY-no fixin' tonight.

Hope you feel better soon!

Don't worry about it. Justify it as learning, then the guilt will go away. I learn something new everytime I pull up this web-site. Of course I have to be careful because I do this at work. I need to get this sent to my home also than I could just learn all night.

I finished a project this morning because my Internet would not come up this morning (5 hrs.) but here I am, hope I didn't miss anything.

This is the same for me, plus I have a calendar with most days filled. My husband had open heart surgery 6 wks. ago and was not allowed to drive. I had to drive him everywhere. Thank heavens, I get out of jail tomorrow. Two weeks' ago, I had someone clean my house. I'm thinking of having her do it again. Too many projects, not enough time.

Yes, I am in the same boat!

I have the same problem. Since we moved from our house in NH to an apt. in MA, I don't get to see my friends very much at all, there is no "community space" to meet our neighbors, so we stay to ourselves and I've only met a couple of people. Plus since we moved my arthritis has been a major factor in me staying in. Since I've found QB, you all have become my new friends, so I sit and chat, find out about what's new out there in cyberspace, as well as checking out some really terrific links to view later. It's probably later and I should view them, but I'm having too much fun seeing what all you have been doing. It's still better than therapy and a whole lot cheaper. Happy quilting everyone.

I am a seeker of information, aka: nosey, I want to be sure that I don't miss a tidbit or a shortcut, or a new idea, that's why I hang out here. Plus, it's loads of fun.

Love the term "eye candy" this site is chuck full of wonderful ideas and beautiful quilts. It is so hard to set a time limit on viewing and start doing!

I have the exact same problem. And if you are away for a day or two (or more) you'll be on here for a long-long time trying to catch up.

I have to set a timer or there's "no dinner" to fix!!! Too many beautiful quilts, tips, stories, etc. to read on here...QB rules!!!!

This happens to me every day. I tell myself that I am just checking my e-mails and next thing I know hours have passed and I have to plan to start quilting tomorrow instead of today. Tomorrow will be the same story. It's fun though, learning something new every day.

I have to fess up too. This QG is my biggest downfall. :-( :-( :-( I used to a total self starter who was not distracted from my assignment, what's happened to me! :roll: :roll: :roll:

This is why I usually don't get on the board till after 7pm. I can get things done or go where necessary during the day. Had to take my daughter to a Dr. today. She has her own home & family, but has been have dizziness problems & can't drive right now. Her family was working & I'm available so help when I can. :wink:

Sounds just like me! I thought I would stop and see what's up just for a moment! It is now 11:00 pm PDT and I should be in bed!!! :wink:

Yep me also :thumbup:

Guess we all do the same thing

Thank you scrappy2 this is my 4th day and you made me feel better.
Colds sure ruin your plans for the week. Just glad it is only a cold.

LOL, I have been on here and alls I came on the internet for was to see if the kids had sent us a message and then SEW. Hasn't happened yet.

I agree, it is very addicting!! I get on here for a few minutes and before I know it, 4 or 5 hours have passed and I have nothing done!! :lol: :lol:

Mmmmmmm...and M&Ms :roll:

My D & SIL are moving to Al., so I'm sure I'll hear some of the southern terms....When they were in Nashville they picked it up real fast, but moving to Mn & Ia the last few yrs, they lost it. But I'm sure they will find it real fast again.

Haha I feel your pain ;)
