Maybe I Should Just Move In

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with New Paradigm Partners LLC EB #1326335

This morning, while following my usual AR routine, I accidentally clicked that strange little button just next to the back and forward arrows on my Firefox browser. It brought up an interesting window I hadn't ever really looked at before, titled Page Info. And among the info included was this fascinating piece of news: I have visited ActiveRain.com 11,354 times.

 

Page Info

 

Wow! That's a lot of times.

 

As a matter of fact, in the approximately 1,680 days I have been a member, that averages over 6 times a day, which surprises me mainly because when I log in in the morning, I usually leave that window open all day. But I do log in on my laptop and iPad when I get home, and I tend not to leave those windows open, so maybe that's right. But what if that data is only for my desktop at work?

 

Do I need help? Should I get a life? Is there any hope for me?

Dick, I'm not sure I EVER don't have a Firefox tab open on my PC and it's my default page for my phone Internet browser.

Dick, I think you're already living in the AR household. That's a lot of visits. I always leave my AR window open on my PC as well.

Dick I had to borrow heavily or even steal from Willie Nelson but:

When the evenin' sun goes down

You will find me hangin' 'round Active Rain

The Active Rain, it ain't no good life

But it's my life

Many people just like me

Dreamin' of old used-to-be's

Oh, the Active Rain, it ain't no good life

Ah, but it's my life

 

Listen to the blues that they're playin'

Listen what the blues are sayin'

I would be terrified to see what number comes up for the actual number of visits I have made since 2007.

Dick I am pretty sure everybody that leaves a comment on THIS post is a seriously addicted rainer! Like Chris Ann Cleland said I'm not sure I want to know how many times I've 'visited' since 08!  Scary stuff but very good stuff!!

Well Dick my friend if you need help than I am beyond help.  I had never clicked on that icon, but after reading what it does I clicked on it, and it said I have visited ActiveRain  24,312.  That is a lot of visits over the 9 years and 2 months I have been a member.  Maybe you and I should form a 12 step program :)

I haven't seen that button.  But, my computer is new.  I've only had it a couple months, and haven't installed Firefox on it.

I wouldn't worry too much Dick and I do think you have a wonderful and fulfilling life. I'm not sure if I'll check to see how often I'm hanging around - hasn't been as much lately, but I miss you all when stuff keeps me distracted.
