Do you ever feel like not posting for long stretches?
I think I've run out of things to say. Does this mean I've been here too long? What should I do?

1. Yep. Often.
When I feel that way, I just don't post.

2. Sometimes I just lurk...
I often find myself outside the general level of discourse for one reason or another. Sometimes I just look for my close friends and just say howdy...

12. I haven't made that mistake yet

I'll take a look.

3. No
I wish I did. In fact, I've had complete strangers tell me I have a lot to say (once, after deplaning a flight)! :)

4. OT, but speaking of flying
I was seated yesterday next to a guy who would just not stop itching. I scratched all over his body, and I mean ALL, and then even took of his shoes to scratch his feet. He moved from top to bottom and then started all over again.

He didn't look unclean, didn't smell and had no visible signs of a skin condition. It was driving me crazy. Thankfully, I was finally able to doze off.

I would take chatty over itchy any day.

6. Ick!
Me too!

I try to be respectful of fellow passengers, but this particular flight had 2 of my best friends from work on it- we had a lot to talk about! Anyway, the guy behind us must have been trying to sleep, because when we were leaving the plane he made a point to look straight at me and say, "My, you sure had a lot to say." I've been a lot quieter on planes since then.

10. I always bring headphones
I really prefer to sleep on flights. Sounds like if he's that bothered, though, he should bring ear plugs.

5. I regularly stop. Sometimes for a couple of months at a time.
Generally, no one even notices.

17. Yep....








All

















the














time.





Sometimes because I'm too busy, sometimes because I'm just tired, sometimes because I'm overwhelmed by it all, and sometimes just because.

18. Sometimes I feel like saying where the bodies are buried.
Then I wouldn't be able to post for a REALLY long time.

19. Odd you should ask.... I'm doing that right now.
Take a break, stretch, see the world around you. Find out what you've been missing (or ignoring), then come back with fresh snark. :)

20. I do that often
I've been here almost 5 years & don't have 2000 posts yet. I take breaks more than I post. :rofl:

Once I took a break for over 2 years. I read here almost daily during that time but didn't post a thing.

24. I've been doing that.
Wednesday was my first day back since Easter weekend. I don't think anyone noticed I was gone, either. :(

25. Yes...
I posted very little last summer because I was busy with other things (like summer!). I also took a break recently because I was so dismayed by GD.

Now, I'm enjoying being a Lounge lizard...B-)
