Hello myLotters. We spend time online doing different things and enjoy. Of course preferences vary. I do spend many hours a day online, at work and at home. At work, all work related, very tiring at times. But, when back home, I would do things that help to relax and get rid of the stresses of the day. I enjoy playing online games a lot. And, listening to the songs and music on youtube. How about you ? What are the things you enjoy most doing online ?

Interesting that despite doing computer work at work, you still enjoy it in your off time to relax. I also like to get on the computer as part of my entertainment, but my daytime job is cake decorating. Anyway, I blog, I do mylot and I check on emails, facebook and my avon webpage hoping that someone somewhere has ordered some avon! LOL. I also am addicted to dimentional mahjongg.

In my area of the country, it is a medium paying job with no benefits. It is only in the last 4 years that my company decided to start a retirement plan. I wish the previous owners had done it when I first started in 1992! Mom and Pop businesses like this one don't have insurance or sick days and only one week of vacation a year. But, I do get to be creative and enjoy my work, so I guess that evens things out.

I enjoy trying to earn online. Most of my online time is devoted in trying to earn online as my earnings online helps me to achieve a certain goal in my life. I do play games online too before, but now I stopped doing so. Maybe I just outgrown playing online games now. Another thing I enjoy doing online is researching for information that interests me. The internet is really handy and efficient in this activity of mine. I am also fond of reading in forums and managing my finances online. I do check my online brokers and account every now and then. However, I only enjoy this activity if I see that I still got a lot of money in my account or my stock trading rewarded me with good yields. Else, I don't enjoy doing this activity online at all.

Yeah! Same as you chicksdigscars! That is how I came about to use myLot and other sites. By being bored and having nothing else to do to keep me occupied for the day, I resort to look for some other things to focus on. Good thing that the internet brings a lot of something to do keep me occupied. Yes, the internet really pave the way for information. I think that the internet is a big technological output of man that there is.

Hello Green Line. Most of all on-line I like to go on to excellent My Lot. I also enjoy looking at my emails and sending messages to friends. I like to look at a tropical style gardening site that is on the Internet. It is called Hardy Tropicals. I like to watch catch up television on BBC i player and Channel 4 on demand. My top thing is to book flights on-line for my next trip to to research my trip plans. I book train tickets on my laptop too and see timetables of trains before I travel. A few days I had a look at some travel stuff on You Tube.

I spend most of the time reading technology blogs and recent trends in mobile and other gadgets Its nice experience to read about the latest gadgets that are going to hit the market and change the consumer electronic strategy. Am a big Apple fan so i always look forward for the latest gadgets from them. The suspense element is one of the factor behind their success. Rest of the time in Facebook. My favorite SNS...

I also love listening to music on youtube. I think most of my time goes here in mylot. Usually, I do working online because I don't have enough time working because I have classes and duty most of the time on a day, except for sundays of course. I don't know, I just really enjoy my experience here. I do open facebook sometimes but I only use it to update myself on the happenings of my real world.

There are many things that I enjoy to do online, and this can often mean that I spend far too much time online doing things other than what I'm supposed to be doing. There are a lot of video and gaming websites which are good fun, and I am sure that I could spend countless hours on those if I wanted to. But, I have blocked a fair number of those from my work computer now because I know that they just distract me from the things that I know I have to do in my every day life. And that is never a good thing.

Online games do get very addicted. One can be spending hours and hours playing games online, that's right. One some times miss doing things more important because of devoting too much time to games.

Hi greenline! I like to research things that I am curious about, myLot, and do surveys. I am like you. I use the internet for "my time." I like to relax and wind down when I get off work and there is no better way than coming here and getting involved in some great discussions with good people. I do like to watch videos on youtube too.

Funny how we spend so much time online these days huh? hehehe. Sometimes I get online without planning to stay on long but before i notice it, an hour had passed already and I still don't have the urge to go offline. lol. Well, for me it's usually facebook, youtube, and chatting with some of my friends from other places. I like to multitask when I'm online. I used to be addicted to "Mafia" in facebook, but I finally got tired of it...after that I pretty much stay away from games coz they can get addictive and i don't want that to happen to me again. I also like to read articles in yahoo news...and mostly i like reading the comments of the people below coz you always see some funny, crazy, stupid, hilarious, comments there. It's one a cheap thrill that I do enjoy.lol!

There are heaps of things I enjoy on the internet. I usually go on MSN and talk to my friends when it's the school holidays. I really love animations so I go on this website where people around the world create their own animations, music and online mini games. It's heaps fun and I love watching the funny animations that people make. I love cartoons so I spend my time watching animations and playing these games everyday. I would love to play online RPG games but my computer is too old and slow for that. I watch movies online too, especially the ones that are still in the cinema, I just watch it online even if the quality isn't too good.

I have a thing for playing online games, in particular PCHGames and iWon. Their games are a joy to play! I love Dice Dice Baby because it's Tetris with a twist - the points system is in dollars! I also love watching videos on YouTube and writing articles. I have good writing skills as well as knowledge on topics I love to write. As for YouTube, I have so many favorites as far as videos go. One of them is the "Maximum Mac & Cheese" from Epic Meal Time because I love mac and cheese!

I love to do lots of things online. But sadly, recently, my PC suffered a Blue Screen, and I am using a very old PC, so am not able to do anywhere near as much as I used to be. I like listening to documentary style programmes on You Tube; and also, to some degree, music. I like watching movies through You Tube, as well as my DVD club, which provides me with a certain amount of free movies to watch with my package. I like Social Networking. I like posting here at My Lot. It gives me a sense of satisfaction. I like posting my writings to Blogs and writing sites. https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/carlhalling And also, videos to You Tube http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=carl+halling So, so many things to do online...the internet is fantastic in my view!

Before MyLot, I normally spent a lot of time at HubPages and Squidoo, writing and reading what others wrote. I also occasionally spent time at Gather and Facebook, and had joined a couple of other new writing sites. I went to You Tube only when I was looking for videos for my articles or when I was editing my uploads or following links. I also have an online business, so I have to work on my web site and process orders on line, but that's not for fun. I also answer emails, of course. Since myLot, I spend most spare time here and have neglected most other sites. I will need to get this more in balance if I'm to retain a presence on the other sites, so I'm cutting the discussions I start until I catch up here a bit and finish some unfinished work on the other sites. It's very easy for myLot to be an addiction.
