2. I don't know..
a couple hours? :freak:


Um, I don't know. There was a point two summers ago when I was working so much (and I was so exhausted because of that) that I didn't post. So I guess a couple months? :shrug:

3. During our recent European visit, I didn't post for days at a time.
Reason was it was VERY expensive to pay for computer time at the hotels.

Also, we got ripped off of 3.5 pounds in the U.K. which we paid for 24-hour access.

When we returned the next day, the machine had NEVER LOGGED ME OFF and the next machine wouldn't recognize my email address.

EZ-COMPUTER NET ACCESS in London is a rip-off.

4. I went a couple of months this past Spring
We were going through some really hard times...lost our internet connection for a while.

Thankfully we're now receiving the University's free public Wi-Fi, unreliable as it might be :)

6. A little more than a year.
Had a lot going on with my job, was in and got out of a really traumatic relationship, and then became pregnant a few months after that ended. Needless to say, there was a LOT going on. :)

8. Long, long time
I don't even know how many months go by sometimes. It's easy to overload on the tone of discussion in GD P , and the lounge.. geeze, I've been gone so long, I only know MatCom.

14. Well, about a week.......
While I was on my recent vacation, I didn't have internet access on our little cruise boat...

If I hadn't been so damn busy with my trip, I would have been nuts! :crazy:
