What would you do? Where would you go? ---

I’d probably get more work done. :shudder: ---

You know my answer. ---

I hang out at the offshoot boards some, but I doubt I would do so much more than I do currently. I’d likely just read more and surf around to more rarely visited venues. ---

I would do exactly what I do now only not come here other than once a day to see if it was up. I didn’t mark the poll since this option wasn’t there. ---

I’d struggle to walk to the urologist. ---

NOTA. I don’t know what a nonnie is, but I have other, non-offshoot boards I frequent. I would miss this one more than any other, but I wouldn’t start cutting myself if this board was down for a week. ---

Hi Jali! I answered “go to one of the other boards”, but I actually read about a dozen different boards by now. Not everyday of course. Then there’s the few Waves I’m participating in, and work, and my family, and … I’d live. ---

If the boards go down next week, that will give me an uninterrupted window to read Under The Dome. ---

During the Winter of our Missed Content, I mostly went to other, non-SDMB boards. This time, I’d probably hang out more at the 'Raffe boards.
