Just curious ...
When do you visit these forums? Is there a specific time that you like to come? Is your computer a lap top that you take with you so you can contribute to conversations throughout the day? Are you a night person?
I turn on my computer first thing in the morning and share my cup(s) of coffee with you all! I usually come back for a quick visit sometime after lunch. Fridays I'm here a little more often since I'm at my computer planning for the next week.
When are you here?

Hi Becky! I jump on in the morning during my cereal time. This week I've been off/on more often because of some research I'm doing online. I wish I had a laptop! Our computer is in the schoolroom (dining room) so I can hop on throughout the day.
Friday is also my planning day and bill paying day, so I'm here for a bit longer stretch.

In the morning, between my prayer time and the kiddos waking up; as a lunch break; just before dinner, while waiting for dh to arrive home. Sometimes in the evening as well, but usually evenings are for shared family time, not me on the computer. 
Peace,
Nancy

I wander through the day with my laptop just like I wandered around some days with a book! I post at random moments (like right now) when the children are busy or I'm at transition moments or when I'm enjoying a cuppa...
Day and night! No reason or rhyme....

During school when we are using the laptop for various subjects anyway. And always when I am looking for great ideas for the Liturgical year. I never fail to find something good. Thanks, all!

Ditto this!
I read 4Real through my email rather than active topics...so if I have time I just link through and post quickly...like this. I almost always check in first thing in the morning after I'm up and have said morning prayers and have started my morning swishing (laundry, dressed, dishes). Some of my....ahem  ....longer posts have generally been in the works for hours (sometimes days)....I start and stop as time allows...in fits and spurts.

I come in the morning and the evenings on the big computer, and sometimes if I want to look something up during naptime I use the iPod touch.

I share in the morning while dd has breakfast (or now that I am a up and at 'em before she is before she gets up). I share my coffee or juice with y'all as well. I come back on during nap time briefly and I will check on and off throughout the day especially if/when dd is having a period of "play by herself" time

I usually check Active Topics while I have my breakfast. I then subscribe to any discussions from that day that I want to follow and read/respond throughout the day via email. I will sometimes check in again during snack in the afternoon.

My computer is rather at the hub of the house.. any time during the day I need to sit for a moment, it's usually at the computer. Plus I can sit here while kids work at the table and when they need help have them come to me. It works out as less disruptive than me helping someone at the table and everyone else paying attention to that instead of their own work. 
That said, I'm usually here when I first get up and then right after kids go to bed. Then I give the computer over to my dh.. who usually has the computer in the morning before anyone is up and then again before bed.
Oh but when my dh is all caught up I may check in before bed so that I'm all caught up before the EST gets up.

Throughout the day when I have a break I'll pop in an check active topics, but mostly at night through at when I have a little more time.

When I get up in the morning before anyone else is up and about, sometimes dh is but he checks the news on his computer (in the same room). Then I may pop in after lunch, and sometimes late at night after the little ones are in bed.

I usually check in the mornings, radom through the day (my email is always up so if there is something new I check). I'll check in the evenings after afternoon activities especially on nights when dh will be late and the kids are all pretty much having downtime in their rooms before "bedtime" .

I usually pop in here in the evenings once or twice a week when the kids are in bed and the house is a bit quieter!
Much food for thought here!

Saturdays I tend to have time to write at length - sorry - when my dh has the children out of the house and I'm preparing at home for Sunday.
For the forums I moderate, I have emails sent to me and read them via my phone daily.
I get to my computer most days at least once to check Active topics and to reply briefly, if I have extra time.
I look forward to getting a laptop, in part, so that I can reply here while I'm on the run...especially during baseball season  .
Love,
