How often do you check your Fluther?

Asked by RocketSquid (3483points) November 6th, 2009

Do you check your Fluther religiously, or do you tend to fire and forget?

I’m guilty of the latter.

Definitely religiously, wait, what’s a “Fluther”?

poisonedantidote's avatar

what is my fluther exactly? if you mean people who are in my fluther, i thoughts thats just some kind of friends list.

if you mean the site its self, i have a separate tab just for it. its #4 on my browsers top 10. and i check in about 1ce every 15 minutes.

I hit the refresh button about every 20 seconds.

I am constantly on it since I have the app and it’s easier to check my alerts every few minutes. So I tend to check it alot of times.

Blondesjon's avatar

I only check it during the times when I am awake.

Daily if I’m at work in front of a computer otherwise I might miss a few days being away at friends’ homes where my focus is on other things.

I read it when I’m trading currency and waiting for a set up or a trade to shake out- which is alot of the time

I like to check my fluther while i’m in the shower.. the fact that i’m already nude just makes it that much easier.

aprilsimnel's avatar

Maybe 5 times a day. But then each time, I’m on for 30–45 minutes.

Dog's avatar

@Dr_C Are you one of those people they male the warning labels for? ;)

When I am sleeping I turn off fluther. Otherwise it is my studio companion as I work.

rangerr's avatar

I hit the “home” button every 30 freaking seconds.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@rangerr I’m just about as bad as you are. I check it constantly.

rangerr's avatar

@jbfletcherfan I get frustrated if I don’t have new activity that is important to me, or if the activity is from a dying topic. It’s bad.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@rangerr I know! I agree. And when I get a PM…woo-hoo. :-) Pathetic, huh?

rangerr's avatar

@jbfletcherfan If you’re pathetic, I’m pathetic.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@rangerr Good. I don’t want to be pathetic all by myself. ;-)

I’m playing LEGO Indiana Jones right now as well as answering this question. An hour ago, while responding to other questions, I was doing my online math homework. The time I’m not on Fluther, I’m thinking about silly answers, inquisitive responses and potential questions. I’m a victim of Flutheritis.

andrew's avatar

@Clair I, also, am playing LEGO Indiana Jones while answering this question. Yay for LEGO Indy.

Dog's avatar

Funny! Lego Indy! I am painting as I Fluther. A cat staring at a frog.

ItalianPrincess1217's avatar

Everytime I can’t find a good reason not to check it, I do. about 20 times a day.

rooeytoo's avatar

@jbfletcherfan & @rangerr – allow me to join you as a pathetic one, it is always such a treat to receive a PM!!!

I do a fair bit of work on my laptop at home and when I am working it is always up and I keep an eye on it. At the shop in the afternoon, like now, it is really dead so it keeps me awake to Fluther and it makes the time pass quickly.

ratboy's avatar

Once every ten milliseconds.

ccrow's avatar

I check at least several times a day, depending on what’s going on. And like you said, @ItalianPrincess1217 , when I can’t think of a reason not to! ;-) I won’t be able to check much today though; my daughter broke a bone in her foot so I’m going to be at her house helping w/2 toddlers & a puppy.

OpryLeigh's avatar

I try and check it every day and more often thn not I am on here more than once a day. I don’t like missing interesting discussions so if I am near computer then I am checking Fluther.

jsammons's avatar

When I came into the room and caught @Clair playing Indy AND checking her Fluther, she felt badly . . . . . until I told her I do the exact same when she’s not here :P.

I check my Fluther throughout the day, mostly when @Clair is at school and I’m waiting for her to come home. I’ll play a game and pause it every few minutes to check if there’s anything new going on :P.

@Clair also stole my word, Flutherites. She won’t admit it though :P

Dr_C's avatar

So I just got out of the shower where I checked my fluther again (as is my custom). It’s very important to know how to self examine one’s fluther in order to keep it healthy and in working order. You never know what might happen if you ignore or neglect your fluther… God forbid you ever need a flutherectomy. That would be tragic.
I nominate November as Flutheritis awareness month… never forget!

jsammons's avatar

@Dr_C Flutherectomy…that sounds painful :P

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Dr_C…...“flutherectomy”. How funny! LOLLLL

Dog's avatar

lol4rl!!!!

Dr_C's avatar

@jbfletcherfan what do you thnk of sea foam green ribbons for Flutheritis Awareness Month?
In honor of Dr. J

jsammons's avatar

Actually @Clair corrected me, it was her word before mine :P.

Dog's avatar

I would hate to have a flutherectomy or worse yet a flubotomy…

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Dr_C Oh, absolutely! Wider ribbons in the green & maybe narrow ones in burnt orange?

Dr_C's avatar

@jbfletcherfan how about standard sized sea-foam green ribbons with burnt orange trim?

Tink's avatar

Yes orange!

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@Dr_C Sure…that sounds good. We could add jellyfish shaped balloons. Lime & orange jello for dessert….....

Dog's avatar

Jello shooters? Where is @eponymoushipster?

Dr_C's avatar

You can’t have jello shooters without first having body shots!
ladies…

Grisaille's avatar

I’m trying to write a manuscript right now. That should give you insight at how frequently I check this goddamn website.

I’m… so… weak…
