Confession: I've been on here for over 2 hours!!!

wilson

It has been with interruptions though. YLF is one of my first choices for how to spend my free time. For me it is usually feast or famine, either I have no time to get on and I go days without so much as a quick glance at the home page (its set to come up automatically when I turn on my browser) then there are the luxurious, dreamy days when I can indulge all day long off and on. In between are the days when I can quickly read the posts but no time to form thoughts and post them.

What is your YLF pattern? Do you keep your laptop or phone near by to check in all day long, or set a specific time frame each day to visit? Or is it a wild card for you like it is for me?

Well I tend to check in during work when I can so it is short snippets of time but a lot of them. It's more consistent than on weekends though,weekend time varies a lot but are usually in larger blocks of time when I do check in.

lol; I pop in once in awhile, especially when I see my pile of unsorted clothes on the couch! I'm hoping for inspiration!

My pattern is exactly like Lisa's!:)

wilson

Whew, thanks Maya! I was beginning to feel like a weirdo; a YLF stalker; someone with no life. Its going on 4 hours now...in and out of course with a computer reboot. I promise my son isn't being neglected. I can hear he is safe and sound in the other room watching Rambo. Just kidding. He is in bed

I wish I could pop in and out all day long every day. I wonder what the longest time anyone has ever logged on here in one sitting.

Well you can all tell that I'm addicted because I can't even take a vacation without checking in when I can. Right now I'm at a hotel and have another 12 hour drive in the morning but can't resist getting on the forum. : )

wilson

Its amazing the things I've learned just hanging out here today for hours on end, such as the badge and points system (I didn't quite understand what it was all about before). I'm signing off now, see you all tomorrow if I can!

wilson

We were posting at the same time: that is too funny AJ! I'm glad you did post while you were on vacation, the outfits were gorgeous. It draws me in that way too. I've been to other fashion blog sites and forums but YLF has a certain special something that rings a special place within me. Have a safe trip home. Ok, I'm really going now...

If I'm at home my computer is always on as I watch the telly through Media centre and like pottering around on the internet. YLF is always open in a tab and I pop in and out x

Paige, you're awesome.
I visit the site every day without fail. On days like today, when there is absolutely nothing going on at work, I can leisurely surf through over several hours and then check back in in the evening. On busy work days, I may just scan the blog and forum on a five-minute sanity break and save my contributions for later. I don't necessarily chime in every day, but certainly at least four or five days out of seven. YLF is a daily must-read for me, though, no question about it. And I've pulled multi-hour sessions numerous times!

I tend to spend a lot more time in the summer, when I'm not working, then I get pretty quiet around this busy time of year (and nowadays that means I lose my badges!) I read the blog daily and get on the forum when I can, but in the winter it's more quick bursts, and in the summer, longer stretches.

Paige, I remember when someone on here said that after she discovered the blog, she stayed up all night reading the archives. That may be the record.

I have YLF up at work and check in when I need a break. At home I try to stay off the computer unless it's late and everyone else is in bed, so that's usually a weekend. It is hard to resist popping in all the time!

I spend more time here on the hols, less during busy school weeks. I'd happily spend lot more :).

I check in first think in the morn and the leave my laptop tuned in so I can randomly check back in until I go to work or through the day...hooked and hopelessly addicted

Ditto Taylor's method, though I was away from the computer and site over break, which was tough :(.

wilson

I'm happily addicted too

happily addicted here too.

Its the kind of addiction that provides its own group therapy.
