So dopers: what do you do while you’re waiting for a thread to be displayed, or your reply to be posted?
I go through phases - currently I’m addicted to solitare but on one occasion I was able to go cook a hot dinner whilst waiting for a thread to load:dubious:
How ironic. The boards have been fine all night, then I click on a thread called “While waiting for the SDMB…” I find myself waiting for the SDMB.
The first thing I do is check the news at news.bbc.com
And then I’ll sit back and give my mouse-arm a rest.
Then I’ll surf the 5 TV channels (no ‘channel 5’ the 5th channel is the SKY feed)
Cards, like hearts or solitaire. Sometimes I read threads I saved, if I get organized. Lately things have been fairly zippy around here. Knocks on wood
I have a toddler… she keeps me quite occupied while waiting… Actually the boards usually load and then I get back to them while she’s otherwise occupied
Have another window open, say interesting-people or the register or robotwisdom or museumofhoaxes; trying snopes but it’s slower than the sdmb, at least tonight.
