I'll start by saying I'm disabled and spend more time at home than anywhere else. I probably spend over 12 hours a day on the internet doing a variety of things ranging from watching videos on youtube to chatting with friends etc...
I play several online games, read and reply to forums, occasionaly check the social media sites such, and talk to friends in skype.
How much time do you spend online and what are some of the things you do with your time online? how much of that time is spent on sites like this to make money?

I am disabled too. I used to spend more time on the computer, but lately so much of my time has been spent on doctor appointments. Not to mention I moved apartments. I'm in the same complex, I just changed the apartment. Believe me, the change was necessary! 
I do spend probably an average of five hours on the internet each day. It isn't 5 straight through. Although if I cannot sleep at night, I would add two more hours to that calculation. I e-mail friends, sure, but I spend a lot of time trying to make money and earn points for things like gift cards. Being on disability, it isn't like I have money to spend on people's birthdays and Christmas presents. So this allows me to be able to still give gifts, and not feel disappointed I can't share in the joy of it.

Eight hours would be alot of time to spend on any one site, I'm almost halfway to payout and I only just joined about a week ago. I probably wont make it in time to get it this month but thats fine with me, I can let it sit in here and build up. I dont really spend that much time here, but I guess I'm here quite a bit.
Thanks for the reply.

I have fibromyalgia as well and a few other problems, but I'll save that for another discussion.
I spend alot of time on ebay too, mostly looking up things I cant afford, hopefully, being here on mylot will help me buy a few things.
Thanks for your reply , happy myloting

You must be making good money with mylot to have decided to stay online an extra few hours. It's really not easy finding an actual job online, everything I've found is writing positions or data entry of some sort and the places offering them always have a backed up waiting list to be hired. I know of some customer service jobs that are work at home, but I cant get those because I dont have a regular telephone and they wont let you use VOIP to take the calls. I think I commented somewhere else about this problem, and how some of them will let you use magic jack as your phone line but to me thats still the same as a VOIP program.
Thanks for the reply, happy mylotting
