Me and my honey share a computer, so we take turns. Sometimes the stupid thing signs me out and then i'm putting a discussion in his name. I wrote this good discussion and wondered why nobody responded. Then when he checked his e=mail, he had all my responses that should have been mine. I was jealous. So now i make sure i'm sign in when i respond or write a discussion.

Hi missybear! I also share computer with my husband, we do have two laptop but we only have one internet cord. We do the same like you, we take turns and made a couple of mistakes as well, like responding in some discussion and didn't realize that it is in his name and he does the same, lol. Now we use different browser and try to avoid to do some mistake again, lol. Thanks!

That was the one, it got a lot of responses to and he thinks he doesn't have to reply course it's not his discussion. He says "I don't know what to respond, I hate shopping". He's a funny 1.

My husband and I actually share a computer at home, but since I have my company laptop, so sometimes I do bring home my laptop, and both of us work on our computers separately. I always need to remember to sign out his and sign in my account whenever I'm using the home computer, just in case I don't post under his name.

My fiance and I have an account here as well. We have a laptop and his parent's have a computer. Sometimes he uses the laptop instead of the computer, and one time that happened to us. I thought I was signed in, and I remember signing in, but it showed up under his.. although I looked right after and I was signed in...

There are five of us sharing one computer here. Even so its rare for us to fight over who has the computer. I get it the most because I'm using it to job hunt, but I do my best not to hog it.

I share with whoever wants to use it, because mine is the fastest in the house.We are such a computer family. I have this one that I built that is always signed in under me on the internet, then my 13 yr old has one in his room and my 5 year old has one in her room; It's not on the internet though. We are not rich, I am a computer tech, that's why we have so many. My S.O. only uses the computer to check out the ski/snow conditions here in Tahoe, I use it for work, music, fun, everything!

I don't have that kind of problem since I don't share the same computer. I used my laptop and he uses his. He don't surf the internet unless he was looking for any important information. I salute him for being able to take control of himself. He is a workaholic type so he do his own thing on the computer.

You're lucky, no fighting who goes first.

I used to share a family computer and occasionally have similar issues, but now I use my laptop and don't let anyone else use it for similar reasons. It makes things less complicated, at least regarding computer usage, if we aren't sharing the computer.
