Log on as soon as I get to work and visit as frequently as possible throughout the day.

It is an addiction. But some days I am on a lot. Then days will go by without checking in due to work travel, kids, etc...

Ask me my age, ask me my weight, but do NOT ask me how much time I spend on this forum. I'm sure I would be horrified to know.

I turn on the computer with my 2nd cup of coffee in the morning, check and respond to emails, and read additions to threads I've posted on. I leave fodors open when I'm home, and check it when I happen to be at my desk (on and off all day).

When I'm away from the computer, I pay a clipping service to send me anything interesting. (KIDDING!)

It's amazing how many of us log in first thing in the morning at work. I cannot count how many times a day I pop in to see what you're all talking about.

Ever since I became a Fodorite, my productivity at work has gone WAY down. Funny, because people see me sitting at my desk throughout lunch and think I'm working, when in fact I'm usually Fodoring around.

Byrd,

Not sure that I like your insinuation that I am a hopeless Fodors junkie who simply can't stop myself from logging in.

Sorry - did I get a little bit defensive there? :)

Jim,

Hey, I'm a Fodoraddict, too! I just seem to have so many things that call me away from all the fun on daily Fodors!

And I'm impressed that so many of you seem to read faster than I, and keep up with everything...

Byrd

Hi--I am a fairly new Fodorite and I can't get by the day without checking at least 3 times. The evening is the ideal time to relax and get a laugh or two from all you wisecrackin guys! I love to read all your posts. I will be asking many questions over the course of the next few months as I am in the veery early stages of planning my 2006 trek to Italy and possibility southern France. :) Keep all the great ideas and friendly bantering going on!! Judy

Forgot to mention---I'll be back in the workforce in a couple weeks and don't know how or if I will be able to sneak a peak at what you are all writing!! I can feel the withdrawal symptoms already beginning to pain me. Help! :)

I keep Fodors logged into my laptop all the time and spend about a hour a day.


Oh wait a minute, you mean how much time ON line, not OFF. Sorry I got that backwards.

Thank God I'm retired. I'm be fired otherwise!

Patrick--you're a riot!!

ira-

a 48 step process, eh?

maybe i'd be better off learning to live with the addiction ;-)

I took accelerated courses for school this semester and finished right before Easter so that gives me more time. I also don't work and don't have kids.

Since we're going to Italy in May, I have an excuse to be on here so much :). I do more reading than posting though. Most of my questions are usually answered by doing a search.

This board is very helpful overall and very amusing at times. Like the "discussions" over the Camilla jokes and when Scarlett wanted to go to Hell. Some of the people on here are just hilarious! ;)

you didn't mention the posts that are too funny to be true - unfortunately they are!

With the flashy red heading I'm not able to check the Fodor's at work anymore. I sit in a cube. But soon, that won't be a problem. My contract is ending at the end of the month. So, I guess I should be looking for a job on the web. But where am I...on Fodor's. Better get some more moola for more travel.

I check when time permits...yes. It was great to do research and ask questions when I went to Paris. But, now that I'm not planning a trip anytime soon...I'm not on it as much. But I do come on and see what's everyone talking about. And see where everyone is going...

Hey, people, fess up :)

I thought I'd seen this before, Faina. I have to chuckle at the title. Sort of like asking an alcoholic how many drinks he's had.

I come and go, it is hard to stop checking up on the regulars. I find so many of you amusing and informative.

I spend enough time on Fodors that my husband makes comments about "those Fodors people." I think it's gotten worse lately because I have the delusion that he's interested in hearing about funny things I read on the board (I especially enjoy Patrick's posts). Heck - if I have to listent to his recaps of the last Nats game or tennis match, then he's going to have to hear the latest Fodors drama from me. ;-)

Before my office layout had my back and monitor facing the door, I was a background fodor viewer. But since anyone passing my door can see exactly what I'm looking at, darn the colorful header, I can only safely view at lunch time. If I see a particulary catchy headline I copy the thread to my PC and read it innocently in Word.

After dinner I check in while watching Law and Order, my other healthy addiction.

I appreciate the Super Fodorites.

I'll admit I've built up a few frequent flyer miles.
