Sparky-(Admin) 19,534 #2 Posted June 15, 2019 Haha Eric! Not just RS...the whole dang internet is a time stealer. I wake up on a Sat or Sun and spend all sorts of time checking my emails, replying, reading RS, replying to posts like this one, doing any RS Admin stuff that needs dealing with, scrolling thru FB ( right past all the religious and political rubbish or course) and a quick check of Craigslist for WH deals. My coffee ends up in the microwave at least once to get the temps back up ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,651 #5 Posted June 15, 2019 I had a cup of coffee at 4:30, sent my wife off to work, got into the shop about 5:10. Forgot breakfast. Yep, I’m getting hungry. But I’m doing tractor stuff and the house is so far away... at least 30 yards! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZXT 2,394 #6 Posted June 15, 2019 I don't seem to have that issue - but then again, I don't drink coffee! My morning rituals consist of waking up, looking at RS, and then looking through FB marketplace and craigslist for things I don't need. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHNJ701 4,164 #9 Posted June 15, 2019 guess I am strange I like cold black coffee, as soon as I make it I put an ice cube in it. I damn near burned my mouth with one those stupid yeti mugs, took a big gulp after it was in there for few hours, I swear it got hotter as sat in there 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sitting in front of a screen does take a lot of ones time and makes one forgetful of many other necessary tasks. The more important question about it is however whether that time was wasted or not. The answer is usually obvious afterwards unfortunately if not the favorable one, too late the time has been wasted and one cannot retrieve it. Its a tool like any other. Whether it is being used correctly and efficiently or not is all up to the user. Its addictive. Like any other addiction it sucks you in. By choice this is basically the only forum I use and follow, reason being because I not only enjoy "being together" with individuals of similar interests and or values, but also for its instructional and entertaining value. Unlike other sites, off topic subjects that quickly lead to controversy are quickly extinguished . Some may say that such practice takes ones freedom of expression away but in reality even if it does that, the benefits outweigh it. We are so many from diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and geographically apart and yet can be civil and learn from each other. Unfortunately that is not possible with most other sites because of the lack of control. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A year and a half has gone by..... Well, they are still alive, so somebody fed them. The big one can feed himself now. Although, I had been spending a lot less time here until the 855 blew up two weeks ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,725 #20 Posted December 25, 2020 What does Redsquare make you forget to do? Actually , it helps me think of things that should be done , maintenance things , improvements, or just other ideas to make this hobby even better. My other jobs get done, as long as I remember to write them down 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
