Well it's usually the emails for me, then those social networking sites (unpaid) that I belong too and see how things have been going there. After that, I usually login to mylot and check back on the discussions I've replied to and add a comment if needed. I also listen to music, where I put on my personal profile on the net also.. It really depends, if something else catches my attention then that's what I would check on firstly..

Yeah, I think most of us do take the time to login here! If you have MySpace in your place, we have our own version of that here called Friendster.

yeah, I've heard of friendster. It is about as popular as Myspace. But between the two, I couldn't tell which one would be better or not. they all both seem to be good.

i usually open my system and play a little game first and then i start to check the mails and then my offlines in yahoo and then start the work. i think playing a game first make me feel very happy.

that's good that playing a game makes you happy, and starts your day off right. there are some things that i do that warms my day up to get going. it's usually by meditating for a few minutes to start my day off right. that's for everything though. Not just the internet alone. lol thanks for responding.

That's me too. The first thing I do is check my email since that is what I got a computer for in the first place! I wish I knew more about my computer so I could do more on it, but I am learning to use it for more things. I have just started to use it for banking and it has made things easier there!!

definitely same as you do...its the gateway for others to send their messages and info to me beside the mobile phones. I have to check msgs first before visiting sites.. some messages might need more and immediate action u know.....shalom

For my living room desktop PC, I open up Maxthon, I first go to MyLot here, and then to Youtube, and then go check on my mail. For my bedroom's "paralyzed" laptop PC, which doesn't have Internet access, I open Windows Explorer, I read my ebooks, listen to music, do my journal, and read my saved .MHT files I collected from the Internet.

First thing I do is to sign on into my instant messenger (aim). Then I check my e-mail, and then I check myspace. Then I check my e-mail again. Then I try to figure out what to do online to consume my time for a bit.

The first thing I do is open my email program to begin downloading my email. While that is at work, I then open my internet explorer to check my mylot earnings. Before I begin working through my email or mylot I check on some of my other programs to see if I have any new msgs or income or orders that I need to deal with. Then I begin working through my email.

i think emails are the biggest programs that people do fool with on the internet. it seems to be the biggest part of their lives. i like using my email program too. but, i don't have the actual email program thing they have. i use mine with my main email provider on their site. thanks for sharing sisterjinx, and have a beautiful day!
