Slow on Weekends, why?

Hi Friends,

I've been here for awhile but I never understood why it seems like everything winds down on the weekends. It seems to be a MB mantra to desert these boards just because it's a Saturday or Sunday.

I work full time and come home for lunch during the week when I can and take a peek. Lot's of good folks logged on.

I think it's odd that so many can be here during the week yet not on the weekend.

I have noticed as well that martial troubles come to a head on weekends. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Weekends are a time for relaxation, no doubt, and we are doing yard and house chores, etc.

But we do that anyway as well as going to work.

I am not being critical, but have always wondered about this.

Thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Weekends ... we have life too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> tgif <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> .
Weekends ... usually WS get caught <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Easier on week day to lurk from work ...

Getting Better:

I've had your same concern about the weekends. The weekends continue to be the hardest time for me because my WS would leave with the OW.

I would come on the Board and say HELP and would then get a response, though. Because of my experience, I try to be here for others on the weekends and also I still hate the weekends.

The bald truth about why weekends are slow (and no one has mentioned it LOL) is that most people do MB at WORK!!!...so work days are the busiest here. (It's a secret! shush don't tell anyone <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> ) At home, they don't always have access to the Internet, or they just want to spend time with their families.

I agree, wait! I hear the dustdawgie calling from the driveway, gotta go! I found the best thing for internet-withdraw on weekends is a hearty dose of male phermones...only the dustdawg says his are not just "fair"...they are *excellent* moans.

Mimi,

Yes, I know the feeling. That was partially the reason for my post.

I've seen many others experience that as well. Knock on the door and nobody's home when you need them most. Certainly not casting blame on any of the fine people here.

Where I work my internet access is limited to weather.com and my company's homepage. Pretty pathetic. But I'm outside most of the time so it doesn't really matter.

I hope things are looking up for you Mimi.

RH- I like your sense of humor. Thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I was just thinking this, too.

I can't access MB at my place of employment, nor would I be able to spend worktime 'doing' MB!

For that reason, I mostly am here on the weekend. I too find weekends to be the worse, as I so miss the family I once had and on the weekend I don't have the distraction of a job.

I know how all of you feel,
H_P
