Anything from 0 to 20 times a day, depending. If I'm busy or away from the computer, could be as low as 0, but I try to get here at least once every day I'm at home. When I'm in front of the machine, I tend to monitor it fairly frequently. Someone mentioned that they discovered it was taking away modeling time—I resemble that remark! But I just can't resist helping out a fellow modeler, or the general camraderie.

Hoho! Thanks again! And you're absolutely right. It's weird…more time, and yet, somehow, nowhere near as much as it seems—of course, digging out the workroom (it gets used for everything delicate) and cleaning it (Anyone ever try weathering with dust? It was starting to compact into geologic layers in some places…) has taken way too much time. Tomorrow was to be "Drop dead I'm doing styrene! day"—Until I noticed the bulge in a sidewall of a tire at the gas station. So tomorrow morning I get to spend $$$$$ for new tires (they were due to be replaced, anyway) instead of hrs.hrs.hrs.hrs. on styrene. Oh well, maybe I'll live forever… <raspberry!>

Maybe they'll get them done fast… … … Maybe the next thing off the drawing boards at Northrop will be a fat pink pig with wings and afterburning…

found a report they did on my internet access at work since the beginning of the year...  this forum is the top ticker...  over twice as much as any others at 6000+ requests for finescale.com, and 20K+ kalbach.com which I think was caused by the banner or something.  well, since i found that report now i am cutting it down by a lot... and probably will just visit once every night for half an hour after work.

Whoa, I hope my school district doesn't do that...!  I'm usually on a bunch during the school day, during prep (while working on other things, of course!), between classes, lunch...  and then a few times in the evenings too.  I try to use it as inspiration, but mostly I just spend my time here instead of with the plastic!

heh heh, it would be even worse if they added the e-mail module to the forums, where you could simply reply to a post via e-mail.  Then I would really need to be locked up.

I'm on 4-5 times a day. Early morning before the boss gets in, lunch, when I get home, after supper for a bit and later on in the evening is my usual routine. I need help!
