I've been known to spend way too much time at a site before. Actually, I think that myLot is the most recent. LOL However, now that Spring has finally arrived and our weather has been gorgeous, I've been able to ignore the pleadings of my computer and get outside to prepare for this year's garden. I guess the sunshine and gorgeous weather outweighs anything I could get into trouble with online. I'm going to check out this site you posted but I'm almost afraid to. However, it's supposed to rain for the next two days and I've just spent several weeks getting long-overdue things done around the house so I think I've earned a bit of time-wasting online.

I'll look for mine. I know that I have the same birthday as the country singer, Loretta Lynn but, other than her, I don't have a clue. My husband shares Abraham Lincoln's birthdate but, believe me, he's no Lincoln!

I know that I was born on the anniversaries of the Titanic hitting the iceburg and Lincoln getting shot. I like to say I was born on a day of great disasters and that's why my life has been the way it has. I'm just another disaster. I haven't checked the birthday thing yet but I'll do that sometime today.

yes you have. my friend had sent me a link to what happened in the past on my birthday. but i could only copy a link to the site. so you may have to look around for that. i was blown away also by some of the people ive shared my birthday with.

I think this is normal. Alot of people (me included) find themselves spending alot of time on a given site. It happens. It is the lure of the internet. I sometimes start doing some research and find myself on some obscure site hours later with dozens of other sites on my desktop as well. It is simply amazing.

What tabs are you talking about?
@bunnybon7 (50973)
• Holiday, Florida
24 Mar 10
like you said with other websites on your desktop the same time. you switch back and forth in tabs at the top of your screen. you dont have to close a window just open a new one and go back and forth.

Hi bunnybon7, I waste my time having fun on Facebook doing Fairyland and Countylife which I am trying to get the hang of, but why shouldn't waste if you want to, life is too short so have fun and enjoy, other things can wait. Tamara

LOL...wasting time is playing a game all week that you hate (Pogo Bowl) just to get a badge that has no value. At least as you spent several hours there you were having fun, right? Think of what people spend to have fun at a casino for a few hours. Or ever just to go see a movie. So, if you had fun for those hours, your ahead because the cost you nothing. Right?

Well certainly, when playing on my PS3 for example :D I do also just read stuff on the internet, but lately myLot has taken all my time. I don't know if that's such a good thing...

I think wasting time on mylot worth it, at least we get paid on spending time here.
• Finland
22 Mar 10
Yeah, that's true. The only problem in myLot is that I don't have time to make new discussions or respond to old ones, because I have to comment all the time to some discussions, because they comment back... But myLot is a very good place to get addicted, because you even get paid for it, but now I haven't got so much the fun part of it...

actually, yes. i easily get bored and most of the time i just think of wanting to be able to do more in a weebsite... for example.. i will need to concentrate when blogging but i find that hard to do cause i kind of want to do a lot of things all at the same time. he he i find earning sites productive though, except of course if these sites do not pay me in the end. that wwould be a bummer.

Yes I do bunny but not just any site. I'm afraid my addiction to the internet is what has caused me to gain so much weight. I should be getting off my big bum and getting some work done. In fact, I'm going to do some chores right now.

im very much afraid thats whats happened to me. ive gained a lot of weight since my last stay in hospital 2 yrs ago. mostly because i dont force myself to get up and do things and fight to breath as i do them. i put it off and sit here and play games on pogo and run back and forth to mylot

There are so many sites on the internet that are just a waste of time and I often accidentally go to them everyday.

I've never gotten upset with myself for wasting time on the internet or any sites. I guess that's because I don't have anything better to do with my time. I could be playing a game on a website for several hours and when I stop I would feel really accomplished Of course, I stay off the internet during school days but I don't feel guilty surfing the net for 24 hours when I'm on vacation. I'll definitely check out your site. I'm on my spring vacation now.

It has been a while since I've been guilty of doing something like this. However, this doesn't mean that I am immune to doing this. The last time that I wasted hour upon hour of my life on a website was several months ago when I got temporarily addicted to FarmTown on facebook. I started that game late in the evening one night and ended up playing the game until it was nearly daylight. I had a lot of fun with it until I just finally burned out of it.

is it really a game? do you get anything for it? ive always felt that stuff is really a waste of time as ive tried to figure out what is gained from it.

If you had fun then time was not wasted. I play games too and i don't consider it a waste of time because i'm enjoying myself. So don't be too hard on yourself, have fun, life is too short. Cheers!

All the sites that I am working on has been tried and tested by her sister and her upline so there is no wasted moment for me. Before, I use computer to play games. Now, I can earn.

Sometimes. On the weekends, when I have time to unwind, I usually don't care if I spend 12 hours straight playing a game or on a forum or anything like that. However, if I'm supposed to be doing something and I'm wasting time with something else, I always regret it afterwards. I find it hard to stop doing something if I know that I must actually go do something boring or tiring.
@bunnybon7 (50973)

thats my problem. sometimes i wonder if im just lazy. as i will waste way to much time some days without doing what iam supposed to.

Yes I certainly do, for example, if I spend a long time filling in information for it to be lost. Or if I go to a site in search of information and spend a long time there, only to not find what I was looking for, I can get very upset not just with myself but the site. I'm not the calmest individual when things don't go my way; and time wasting is especially anathema to me.
@bunnybon7 (50973)

oh i know. i could just scream when im looking for something that i think should be simple to find and yet the search sites come up with the stupidest stuff and i feel like throwing the pc, but realise its not my computers fault, its the sites/searches what a waste. when i fill out a lot of stuff then the site looses it, i get mad and just give up and walk away a while to cool off

Hello bunnybon, So, I copy pasted the link to see what site it was. . And yup, those are trivia about our birth date, and I looked for my birthday to see what's up, and boy did I see a lot. I didn't read it immediately, I decided to answer your discussion first . I'll read it later. Anyway, I don't really get upset with myself when I do something in the internet that wasted my time which should have been spent earning online. You see I did have fun, and it is worth spending for. All work and no play would make a man dull, so this is a way of getting out of work from the net, have a little relaxation, but in the end, I would tell myself not to spend to much time on this things. And I try hard to follow that. haha

a lot of site as far as ive seen is a waste of time.so u need to be careful in spending ur time in all te website u come across. the worst part is when u have slow internet speed.that would consume triple the normal time, in addition if it is a useless site u ve wasted the precious time possible.so careful mylotters do not get urself wasting ur time in useless sites....

I've wasted significant time on websites such facebook and Myspace, but I usually don't regret it much because I only spend around less than an hours on these type of social sites. However I've been on some "paid sites" that turn out to be a serious waste of time. I not only stop visiting those websites, but I also canceled my accounts.

yes thats what i used to do at myspace. waste hours. then i found mylot and i hardly ever visit myspace any more. its like mylot is so much better. when i do remember, my poor dog at myspace is requiring lots of attention

I only get upset if there was something else I could have actually done with the time. If I am stuck at work with no work to be done and all my normal websites have been caught up with, then wasting time playing some dumb game or taking some dumb quiz isn't a big deal. If I am at home and could have been doing stuff to make life better like having a clean house or spending time with my wife and puppy then I feel pretty stupid.
