Just wondering when people are on here. I have noticed that if someone posts on a Friday or weekend someone will usually give some advice and then let them know that most people are out training on the weekend and will answer during the week. So does that mean that most people post when we should be working: ) ? I started having time to post when I broke my finger a few months back and could not do a lot with my dogs. It is still not 100% but I am back to working dogs all day. I got hooked by the forum in the process and am going to try to check in once a week.
I'm an at-home mom, so I post whenever there is 5 minutes of peace to fire one off I check multiple times a day- sitting in the car waiting for kids, waiting for them to change into their sports gear, etc. Yep, I'm a full fledged addict This site gives me more drive to work on the annoying little things I want to change and RamKelly B' and others' videos give me that extra little push to try harder!
I am a leerburg addict. I will check it first thing in the morning when I wake up. Around 4.30 AM India time. Then at 12.45 PM during lunch, and again at about 10.00 PM before I go to bed.

Ericka, I wish I had the self-discipline to only check in once a week LOL. I don't think you are exactly "hooked." I probably spend way too much time on this forum. I'm not necessarily posting all that time but just checking in to see what's new.
I work from home at a job that requires me to be in front of my computer all day long. I do take frequent breaks to get up and stretch or take care of the dogs or fix something to eat, etc., but often I will just take a little mental break and stay at my desk but surf the 'Net for a while. I admit it's a bad habit and no doubt I'd be better off if I used those mental breaks for a little meditation or whatever.
So I post when there's something I want to post about, day or night, any day of the week. My training time comes when I can fit it in around my work schedule; the day of the week doesn't matter.

Me too. I think this board is one of my better (educating) habits!
I'm on here when it's quiet at work and I'll check in once in awhile at night when I'm home.
I don't post alot because all this dog training stuff is fairly new for me and right now I don't have much to contribute, but I sure have learned a ton and I put much of what I learn here to good use every day. I keep coming back because I realize there is so much more to learn.
I don't access the site at work, just too darn busy for anything other than the tasks at hand.
I try and read a few threads every morning with my coffee but sometimes that doesn't always work out. And if the boys have me up late for whatever reason, often I'll get on when everyone's settled and because I'm up anyway.
Often, weekend mornings, if I'm up early enough, I get to spend a few hours catching up. Or like today, a quick 2 hour hike with the boys and we're heading over to a neighbor's (with the boys) to watch the Grey Cup game, but I snuck in a few minutes while Bob is getting the beverages together.
And of course some days and evenings are less busy, depending on what I've been able to rope Bob into doing. I know that sounds bad, but it really does work both ways and is a day to day thing.
Sometimes I don't get on for weeks and then it's almost like work trying to catch up.
Definitely the first place I head when I do have a spare minute though.
