I do seem to be online a little too often recently... Do think it is to escape myself, try to work on my business and to earn as much as I can online.
Offline, I hate one o fmy 2 jobs, Do wish I was with family again and other half spends more time online than I do...
What to do about it?

That is so true!
It is a shame that for internet whizz kids it doesnt take much effort to make money online, others like me, have to put effort and time into it. And having to earn a living offline is easier.. But eventuali it can pay off!
Fingers crossed!!

My nature is always ready with online which make more close to the subject. Things make more fast and closer to us. Though it is advised to be on line at most of the times, certain dealings are worth be doing with offline also. Sometime, offline also is in demand at certain works.

Even when I am on my offline job, I am also always online. Most of our applications are web based so it is just like being on the internet from 9 to 5. Or in my case, 7 to 3.
During the work day, I would have another window open just for personal stuff. Sometimes on myLot. This is just to relieve the boredom, or to make the work day go quicker.

My philosophy with the amount of time that you spend on line is this. It really does depend on what you are doing online. If you are just online, just messing around a lot of the time, without any rhyme or reason, then you might really be spending just a little bit too much time. However, if the time online is a productive venture, where you can get a great deal of things done, then that's fine.
So yeah, it really does depend on the situation and also the person and their responsibilities. I have no advice about how to deal with it, because I am well hooked on the Internet, but in such a way, that I have used it to maximize their productivity. It is really not how much time you spend on the Internet, it has really what you do with that time. That is really what it boils down to.

I believe I am completely addicted to my computer.Im online at least 12 hours a day and sometimes alot longer than that.It takes time away from my kids and husband and they resent it.I do think its an escape for me.Maybe they should have a group for this like NA or AA.lol!

As long as the group isnt online u will be fine! :-D
Wow! 12hours or more! That is alot! And I thought myself n lover were bad! Hee hee! If half the time is to work, I can understand. You need to be a mother and wife. Not to mention be a woman and friend!
GET OFF EA N WATCH TV WITH FAMILY! ;-) x

Theres nothing wrong with using the internet to escape and earn a few extra pennies. If you live with your other half and find that he uses the internet all the time, you could try getting a mobile broadband dongle like I have, it's perfect for the job. Hope this helps

I'm kind of addicted to the internet.I spend a lot time on the internet and love to be here.I like the concept of online business,but don't yet have a specific idea to build one so working on a few legitimate sites to make some extra spending cash on the side.But its really much more fun to work on-line than in a real job because you're the boss here!!!

Thank you for ur input..
You are right, it is great being my own boss! Though getting customers is the trick.
At the moment am saving to get demo supplies, friends have askd me to do some parties locally. I have bdn toying with the idea of having SU Reps and letting them have 17% from sales. Thinking now that best way is to do it myself and see how it can be done..
Cant wait! ££$$ needed :-S
