4 hours...What to do, What to do....

Services for Real Estate Pros with ActiveRain, Community Manager

ActiveRain will be down for 4 hours Thursday night as we work on making this site better for you, our lovely members.

4 hours. What could you do in 4 hours?

Get lost on Pinterest? That's pretty easy to do.

Read a book? Which one? Self help, a classic or a recommendation?

Watch Titanic 1 and 1/4 times? Grab the tissues, it gets me every time.

Sleep? Nah...you can sleep after your 4 hour experience.

Shop? What do you need, want and desire?

Go to the casino? Bonus!!!

If you could do something, anything you wanted for 4 hours tomorrow what would it be? I'm sure we'd all love to hop a jet and jump in the blue waters of Bora Bora for a few but I'm talking realistically. Let's pretend the kids are fed and in bed, the dog is walked, you already got your workout in, all business is taken care of and now you have 4 full hours to do whatever you want.

4 hours is a long time. What would you do?

Sleeping is not an option? I guess spend quality time with my husband.

Kerrie - Those four hours were well spent on the computer searching homes for a new client that came through one of my community blogs! Then sleep - we are 3 hours ahead of you - not staying up that late!

No jumping in the water at Bora Bora the sharks may get me. I'll just work on my inspection report without being interrupted by Active Rain.

Thanks for letting us know.

Gosh, four hours in the evening with no Active Rain... I would like to watch a movie, but my guess is that I will use that time to write a couple of blogs to have ready in the pipeline.

Kerrie, just because you can't be on ActiveRain during those 4 hours does not mean that you can't be drafting a blog post after the 4 hours :) :) :)

You can spend four hours emailing and calling your friends and ask them to donate to The St. Baldricks Foundation that I'm raising money for by shaving my head. http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/itsagoodlife

Hi Kerry - For the shutdown last night, ActiveRain sent out an e-mail to everyone in addition to the post. You may want to consider sending out a similar e-mail on Thursday morning.

Hope the technical issue gets resolved on Thursday night.

This is the second post I've seen tonight on pinterest so I will be going over there to see what the fuss is all about. I have four hours that I'm not doing anything between 2 and 6 AM anyway.

Kerrie, I'll add the 4 hours to the 5 hours I spent today trying to get my wireless printer installed! (LOL) When I am finished with the printer I will start on the scanner.

It's been a couple of days in a down that ActiveRain has drawn the red curtain at night....

I just received a weird email from a friend wanting to know if I was ok as he noticed that I am online at the weeee hours.... He only noticed because I wasn't blogging on AR and he actually saw me posting on FB and other sites since I didn't have access to AR. Little he knows... this is normal behavior, not random at all! I am a night owl and it's a fact. I still wake up and go work out and go to inspections at 8am and everything! LOL~

Hi Kerrie!

What a great post and question. Hmmm, I supposed I would either write or read or hike or go sailing or skiing or visit with friends/family or or or.....so hard to pick just one.

Isn't life amazing? Your post reminded me of an old saying "The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings" ...I think it was Rudyard Kipling who said it.

Four hours sounds like a perfect amount of time to get lost in games on Facebook.
