primitives discuss posting

Oh my.

You know, it's pretty pathetic when the Lounge on Skins's island discusses issues of far more importance and substance than what the primitives discuss in General Discussion.

What is the most amount of posts you have done in a day?

I am approaching 200 today.

1. 80ish

I was in a pissed-off tizzy. They were posted in the span of about 90 minutes in advance of a 10-day DU hiatus.

4. Since I joined Mirt it has added to my post count.

In a few days I will be a GD host which should make life harder.

5. I don't know I don't keep track. Not that many...

I used to post on another forum and I know there were a few days where I might have come close to that, but not so much here.

17. You need another hobby

Took me over ten years to get 12,000 posts.

Took you less than 3 years to get to 14,000.

MIRT and hosting multiple forums?

I could never do that,

nor do I want to.

Some may think I'm on the web 24/7, but I'm not.

Yup, my computer is, but I go outside (I have a large property in the bush - 28 acres) wander around, do some chores, then come back in and check Facebook, DU, my hotmail, google news, weather and so on.
 
I'm retired, live alone, so my "days" are not what most others are.

I eat when I want, I sleep when I want,

Usually get 2 "days" out of one.

I don't sleep much at any one time - usually 3-4 hours - age does that to some;

So - I get almost 8 hours sleep in 24, but 4 hours twice a day.

It's 2:20am here, so I know it's only 11:20pm on the west coast.

And I get to keep in touch with people that are still up.

Actually did a few chores inside while doing this post.

I ain't glued to my computer.

Ponder that.

20. One of the temptations of retirement would be spending all day on the computer!

I was off work for seven weeks last spring and couldn't do much... I got so bored with the TV and computer that I begged the doctor to let me go back to work! LOL
 
I don't know how I will fill the days when I do eventually retire. After working all my life, I never really developed "hobbies". Even the word sounds boring to me.

22. Maybe "habits" would be a better word.

I live on 28 acres, heat mostly with wood. Just bought the property so bought my firewood this year, but will be cutting my own off the property in the near future. Then theres' the splitting and the piling - taking my time, that's a healthy activity for me.
 
Winters can be harsh, driveway is long, so then snow shoveling/blowing/plowing kicks in.
 
Cheap on hydro, so haul rainwater for laundry/dishes and so on from my rain barrels,
 
another healthy activity as long as I don't rush it.

Lots of upgrading to do to the house, so construction work as well, most which I am capable of doing myself.
 
Also I cut over an acre of lawn, most of it with a riding mower,

but at least I'm outside where I love to be, weather permitting.

My body likes my habits, so I shall carry on.

I like being busy, no problem there.

Got plenty to do,

and luvin' it.

23. Whew! That is a lot of work!

It's good for you, though! Sounds very healthful.

27. Yes - it is a lot of work, but I enjoy it as it's mostly outside.

I cannot maintain steady physical work the way I used to, I go out to do some choring,
 
when my wimpy arm starts bothering me, or I get hot or cold, I come inside to warm up/cool down, give my arm a rest -
 
and here I am!

19. I don't keep a daily score

My post count rose dramatically when I was part of a small group updating a series of live threads on the Libyan Revolution for some 7 months.
 
But my post count includes a lot of "LOLs" and the like giving props to other members. It's not like I've posted a lot of original essays.

24. I have no idea.

I'm not one of those people that post profound essays or anything. I cranked up the post count when I was on MIRT and also when the husband started working more hours.

25. Probably a few dozen, 40 or so. No idea of the actual number.

In six years I've just barely managed 5,000 posts, though that does include a lengthy period (2010-2012 or so) when my account was mostly idle, with very little posting.

26. Maybe 20-25 I've been here over 10 years and only have 18,300 posts

I've been in a posting funk for about 6 months now.  Anything to do with liberals is making me want to slap the shit out of em.

In a few days I will be a GD host which should make life harder.

The most simple-minded and narrowly-focused nadinite will be a GD host.

This could enhance her stretch run.

Hey Tucker, I like your avatar!  Clever.

Well, if you were to slap it all out at once, there would be nothing left......so go ahead, it's OK by me.
