Weekends. I am hardly on my home computer during the week.

Mousie 10-30-2010 11:48 AM

when I can and when it's most convenient for DD and DSIL.
DH likes it when I stay home in evenings with him and I do too, so I try to make it mid day to afternoon.
After my pc crashed, I decided to use that as a sign that I was using up too much quilting time online...besides, DD has high speed and I didn't!
I help with their bill and power, etc. so they don't mind. win-win ;)

Mostly weekend daytime - without discipline I'd get nothing else done.

This is my schedule also. But I will also be going back to work soon so then It will be nights only and no sewing. Pray for my sanity because the qb and my sewing projects keep me smiling.

IBQUILTIN..we use to live in the Clovis area, I have a brother & SIL in the Tollhouse are & sis & BIL who live in Alder Springs! Small world, isn't it!

bjnicholson 10-30-2010 12:31 PM

Depends. Sometimes in the morning (but, not too early!) if I'm expecting an email. But, usually in the afternoon and evening while I watc...um, listen to NCIS.

Me too. A quick note to thank whoever said to starch my material for the bias tape. Worked like a charm. This is why I'm on this board.

Any 'ol time the mood strikes me !

leonajo 10-30-2010 03:46 PM

I work a job in town, When I get home I have to fix dinner, do my home chores and spend time with DH and cat. It's 6 or 7PM (if I'm lucky). I look at Facebook first to check on my daughter who is away at college.

annette1952 10-30-2010 04:33 PM

I'm on here mostly at night. If I got on during the day I wouldn't ever get anything done! I don't know enough to get off once I'm on here. LOL

adrianlee 10-30-2010 04:38 PM

I'm up early and checking on the QB, then the emails and then Facebook. Later in the day, afternoon or evening I check all over again.

Happy Tails 10-30-2010 04:40 PM

I spend a few hours on here in the evening :)

I am not an early bird - it's about 8pm here and that's usually about when I check out this site and learn many things here at the end of the day. Then I might sit down at my sewing machine and play a while if it's not too late.

G'ma Kay 10-30-2010 05:37 PM

I'm not a puter junkie, however, my DH is, so I decided if you can't beat em join em. He is on most evenings. When I finish the dishes and he has his laptop on, I power up and sit on my end of the couch. I would rather spend the time face to face with him, but alas, I am a puter widow. This at least holds my attention. I usually don't have the patience to stay in the screen very long.

poultney 10-30-2010 06:03 PM

Afraid I am not an early riser, it's the afternoon or evening for me. I wish I could be an early riser but now that I am retired, I sleep in. My sleep clock must be late, not early. My husband is early, so he's the one that likes me sleeping in, he's on his own and not working on my honey do list.

Marguerite 10-30-2010 07:13 PM

At work

ditto...I'm on here throughout the day.....it IS addicting! ha!

grandma Janice 10-30-2010 07:40 PM

someone mentioned the live chat. I think I would love that but it moves too fast for me. by the time I type in a message, the conversation has gone right on by. I have plugged in several times just to watch. I do spend too much time on my pc.

DebJ 10-30-2010 07:41 PM

Yes, I use to be on everytime you turned around. After my computer was fried & I wasn't on for awhile, while the computer was being dealt with, I guess I got out of the habit. But I have been back on fairly regular lately. As for the time of day I am a night owl, so it is after Dad has gone to bed, I'll be up til 12-1 sometimes. I will be on the QB for awhile or sew & listen to the Britcoms. I only want to see the inside of my eyelids at anything earlier than 7 a.m. LOL

Dee 10-30-2010 08:07 PM

I usually am on at nite.

bjdemir 10-30-2010 08:39 PM

I am usually on at night also, after 8 pm. Doing too many other things during the day and never have the computer on until evening.

Cuddly Quilter 10-30-2010 10:07 PM

Was introduced to this site about 2 weeks ago. Spent a LARGE amount of my Sunday having such fun and learning how and where to go. Still learning. So many wonderful people out there ready to help others. That is what i found so amazing. Thank you to you all. I go on when i get the computer message. Otherwise i work full time and quilt when at home, and love my facebook fairygarden game, so have to spread my computer a bit thin between the too when i have a chance. :P

GailG 10-31-2010 04:14 AM

I'm an early riser (who often doesn't sleep very much at night) so I'm on here first thing -- well after putting the coffee on. Also back around lunchtime, then late evening. Well, I have to give DH some time on here, too. And then if I'm not sleeping, I get on to see what's going on again. So, you see, I could be sewing at some of these times, don't you think?

SLHughes 10-31-2010 04:32 AM

I am on here early also having a cup of coffee and then again in the evening ... cruising the board. :)

zactanls 10-31-2010 05:51 AM

I am usually on in the mornings and then late at night. I am retired so I could go on whenever I want. I am hooked on this board

connecticut quilter 10-31-2010 05:57 AM

I check in,in the evening around 7:00 . Sometime in the morning depending what time I get up...

fktsewing 10-31-2010 11:54 AM

mostly at night after DH goes to bed, but sometimes in the morning and I even sneek peeks at work occasionally. Have been on for about an hour today---we went to Colorado for a family wedding, then finished 3 quilts for Quilts for Kids (will post pics later--need DH for that) and then making tinkerbell costume for grandaughter as that is her nickname.

Jeanniejo 10-31-2010 12:13 PM

Usually the days I work. I' a caregiver for a patient that is bed ridden so I have a lot of time on my hands during the day and this QB helps to pass the time with a smile. :lol:

Luv Quilts and Cats 10-31-2010 12:16 PM

I have not been spending as much time here lately as I used to. I used to look on it every night after supper, but now if I get on once on the weekend I'm doing good. I miss it, but I am so tired at night I just can't make the effort to look. I know I am missing out on some great pictures and conversations. But I am having health issues and it may be that when they are resolved I will have more energy again!

quiltluvr 10-31-2010 12:49 PM

I check when I get up, before I leave the house. Some days I don't leave my desk doing other things but keep this on. And I check every night before I go to bed.

An addict, maybe??? :P (Beats dusting for sure!)

lynsue 10-31-2010 02:19 PM

Between 6 & 7 pm. Done my thing for the day. Watched & ate dinner. That's it for me since I've getting tired earlier & also up at 5pm.

Days seem to be getting shorter at this age although I still feel good.

Maybe1day 10-31-2010 03:43 PM

I am the same, early morning between 5am and 8am. I am usually up then and so this is my time while everyone else is asleep. Depending on what is happening and type of day it is I may pop on the computer during the day and sometimes I will come on during the evening if everyone else is watching TV and I am not interested in what they are watching. So want to finish the house so we can move into it and I can do what I really want to do which is of course fiddle around in my craft room.

Maybe1day

quiltjoey 10-31-2010 07:26 PM

I'm a night owl, up til 12-1AM and then up by 7. Usually check QB late at night. Just took a class about landscape quilting and am loving it! Oh, am new to quilting and the board. Love it!!

irenecarter 10-31-2010 07:45 PM

On mostly late nite early morning. Go to be between 3 & 4 . sometimes later but seldom earlier than 1AM . I'm busy the rest of the time quilting, I mean piecing. When I don't have DR's appointments or something similar Most days we go to the gym for about an hour or so.

glenda5253 10-31-2010 08:28 PM

I am a night owl, so it is 11:30pm and I am on this board and probably will be for an hour or so. Love it!

Cyn 10-31-2010 08:31 PM

It's after midnight and I am still up. I'm on here tho off and on the whole day but mostly late night when it's quiet.

quilt-fanatic 11-01-2010 12:43 AM

Little dog wakes me up to go 'out' and I can't go back to sleep! So you may see me on her at 1:00 a.m. until about 5:00 am.

Justme2, it sounds like you and I have the same schedule. Only difference, I don't have a 3 cup tea container...I just use a regular mug. lol:

Dawneda 11-01-2010 01:37 PM

I'm on every evening, too much to do in the morning with my grandson and hubby. So now is my free time.
