Obvious answer #1- Getting more work done at work.

My3LilMonkeys replied: Well I was in HS when I discovered them so I mostly hung out with friends, watched TV and read.

luvmykids replied: Chasing three little kids....I didn't have internet at home until the twins were four and Macie was almost two so even if I'd had it, I never would have been able to use it

A&A'smommy replied: uhh playing sims lol, and then before I got pregnant (I was 17) hanging out with friends, school, babysitting. walking a LOT

Crystalina replied: Yep, cleaner house and read books more. Also t.v.

Right now I'm struggling to finish New Moon. I'd rather be doing things online and I have totally turned the t.v. off!!!! We've done this in the past. Right now the kids are watching dvd (and at times I'm wondering if the Blockbuster bill is not more then our satellite was ) BUT...they don't watch as much.

CantWait replied: Hmmmmmmm I dunno. My life really isn't that much different. When I started with this I lived in a foresty area, near beaches and rivers so we spent a lot of time there. My outside life comes first, I'd much rather be outside, so I do.....than I check FB, emails, and PC.

moped replied: Well for me that was before kids so I liekly spent alot of time with Tom dating.....things we don't do anymore!

coasterqueen replied: I definitely got more work done at work since that is where I usually get on the forums.

My2Beauties replied: Oh I def got more work done
