Active Rain Members seem never to sleep!

Active Rain Members seem never to sleep!

I logged on around 5 am (Central Standard Time) as I'm headed out of town today and wanted to get my daily dose of AR wisdom before getting in the car for next 3 hours.

I read a couple of post and decided to comment...then I went back to what should have been my place in line but no WAIT someone had cut in front...and then another and another 'til I was pushed to the second page. What's happening??

Well it seems those "pesky early morning risers" are at it again - posting and posting and posting! How's a gal suppose to keep up with her reading if she doesn't have time to comment and get back in line before others jump in front?

I guess AR members can't sleep either or wait ... while it's 5 am where I am it must be later where they are? Good morning and keep those words a coming....

Gwynn - we are both early morning Texas gals. Let me see, this is the third "Gwynn" spotting this morning and it only a little after 6:30 AM.

Gwynn, when I start out early, sometimes I see the spammers, too, selling vacations and leather goods. If they got out of the way, we'd have some more room! Have a great weekend!

Barbara: I always seem to "think" better early morning....sleeping is overrated! And I've got to get all my AR in as I'm headed to "deep East Texas" foa a family reunion - no computer for 3 days.

Ron: didn't you purchase one of those nifty leather bags? And it's always interesting to see who and what is happening in the wee dawn of morning.

Those of us EST are usually up and running early. Though my first login attempts this morning were met with the infamous bad gateway.

Barbara: Hahaha....I too was already in the office at 5 am (work from my 3rd story office at home) but still in my nightie! Just not ready to meet people unless they are on the other side of my computer screen. Have a splendid Friday!

Cindy: Didn't you get the new gateway Key???? I hate to get those pear shaped messages that pop up on AR. Do you have on your NIke running shoes?

I have also been up at crazy hours and have been so impressed with Realtors who suffer from insomnia. Seriously though, there is always something happening on Active Rain.

I sleep just fine. I'm awake early and begin my daily ActiveRain adventure at just about 5:00 a.m. EDT.

Lenn: I'm glad you sleep well....most nights I do too. My AR adventures are spread throughout the day but find I'm best early morning when its quiet and peaceful.

Gwynn - with MDT I get a later start, but even then I am in the queue with comments. In the evening 10pm is the ActiveRain midnight, and I'm often just getting started.

Gwynn...hope you have a lovely out of town weekend! I'm amazed when I see that members have commented on my post at 1, 2 or 3 a.m. Way to early for me but I do appreciate the comments no matter what time they come in!

Gwynn - enjoy your weekend away! When I've not been able to sleep I find myself amused at all the activity on AR. I personally feel that being awake at 5am is only good if your house is on fire, but when it has been a tough night in our house I'm thankful for all you early risers writers!

Larry: it amazes me what time some of the comments are posted then I remember the time difference.

Kim: well, I've decided not to go out of town - rain and thunderstorms are predicted and I have a choice....and I choose not to drive in rain. Makes drivers NUTS so will be writing on AR again - maybe early morn or late night but definitely will be having my say.

Susan: I try not to do to many 5 am risings but if I can't sleep to the computer I will go to catch up on some post or write one myself.

Joshua: What is early for some is late for others.

Gwynn...I hate traveling in bad weather. I had a three day backpacking trip planned in April and the forecast was awful. I'm so thankful we decided to wait for better weather. Have a good weekend!

In Albuqueruqe we are on MST. I usually blog between 8:00 and 11:00 pm. Midnight is my bedtime. Since the ARclock is on Esatern time, it gives the impressionthat I am a early riser, but that's not the case...I am a night owl.

Kim: I stayed home this weekend and I'm glad I did....it rained "cats and dogs" on Friday.

C. Lloyd: O boy, this different time zone really messes with us...so you're a night owl while I've been thinking you're an early riser! ha..
