Sometimes I just have a quick look through TAS when I'm checking emails, other times I might look more deeply, but I never read everything.  At the moment I'm just skimming 'new messages' for any which catch my eye.  I don't do facebook or any other forum or I wouldn't have a life.
I think it is perfectly possible to become addicted to the internet, or at least this type of forum, because we can meet people here in lives which might otherwise be quite cut off from human contact.  Maybe though if you find yourself reading here when there's people with you to talk to, or work to be done, you should cut down a bit.  'scuse me while I go and cook the dinner.......... :eyelashes:

Hot flush, couldn't get back to sleep. Emptied the washing machine and the dishwasher, laid out breakfast, did all my paperwork, drank tea.Took tea to Dan at 7, got into bed to drink mine and fell asleep. Woke with a bump at 8.45. Now feeling well fuzzy  ;D

Don't worry, Rosemary.  It passes in time for the early signs of dementia to take over seamlessly...  :-J  Oh!  Or is that just me?   :o

What's a hot flush? :eyelashes: :innocent:
Sorry, I DO sympathise, really I do,  :love: but I was lucky - only ever had three :excited:

I do 'middleofthenight.com' browsing occasionally too  :gloomy:

One of the best jobs I ever had was relief milking weekends. They started milking at 3am - it took me an hour to get there - so you can imagine what time I got up! In time to see all those drunks staggering home from the pub...  ;D

I've always liked to be up at odd times, or work nights at the lambing etc.

 :raining: foul weather doesn't help by adding to the workload and things like mucking out take twice as long, but have you considered that maybe the superhuman image for some is actually a clever illusion?   :hug:

i have to confess i do most of my TASing at work, i have it on in the background of my puter and dip in and out all morning, if i'm on in the evening its because OH has gone to bed to watch telly (which is where he is now!), just let the dog out and its pishing down so we're all fed, watered and cabined up for the night so plenty of time to peruse now.

I have internet on my phone, so occasionally I will be posting from my landrover on lunch or whatever.


I used to work nights ant my bodyclock is permanently messed up, so I'm awake at all kinds of funny hours.

I could have not wasted time talking on TAS today about scoffing Xmas biccies.  I might,just might  :thinking: have thought about dinner.

Instead we got back late from school concert at 6.45 with not a clue what to feed everyone. Ho hum...they're all still alive as I write. Who needs a balanced meal everyday anyway???
