GTKY--how do you bump

in October 2015 Moms
so i was sitting here just wondering how we all bumped, what the perfect set up was to go through all the threads and jokes and gif's..... how do you bump? what do you need around to have the best bump experience of the day and at what time of the day do you bump best!!!?

My best bumping time is in the a.m. I am the most clear headed and can give the best advice. I sit down with my breakfast and open up my laptop and start bumping, i neeeeeed to have smtn to eat while im bumping its become a habit, right now on my left is a egg and cheese sandwich on whole wheat  and a glass of ice cold o.j! I think my feistiest advice comes midday after ive  had lunch or during lunch thats when i can gif it up too!

Now your turn GO!

    I need a rainy day and an excuse to put on the tv. It also helps when my big kid is in big sister mode and is letting me lounge (perk to having a 10 yo).

    I also love to bump in the morning (late mornings lately:) with my coffee.

    Gifs are my favorite.

    And i like when threads go off topic. The nerdier the better:)

    I mostly bump when im bored. Either in bed from the app (even though i despise the app) or on my pc's 2nd monitor while i wait for something on the middle screen to finish doing its thing.

    Right now im stuck in bed with the puppy. She's asleep half on top of me and i dont want to wake the poor thing. Yeah, she's not spoiled or anything, lol.

    I bump the most in the morning and at night, the morning is good, because my son eats breakfast and watches tv. At night I bump when he's in bed and it's quiet. I rarely ever use my laptop, I have to app on my iPhone ... It's just easier (: !

    I use the app too. It's really got some kinks it needs sorted out but i manage. I could use my browser but I'm so lazy.

    I usually read in the evenings which is the middle of the night for most of you. Right now I'm visiting family on the east coast so I can actually read posts as they are written, crazy! I love when other months have trashy magazine-like drama (sorry, but it's entertaining!) and I appreciate that we rarely see that here. @gabrielafrnqyepez I agree that snacks are a necessity!

    I Bump with my morning cup of coffee before I head to the gym and then intermittently: when I am drying my hair, DD is napping, or right before bed. :) I prefer to us my laptop because I absolutely loathe using the app on my phone. I can't turn it sideways to make typing a response any faster, so I hate responding on my phone. If I am mobile bumping, I usually just read and give a couple love its.

    I bump when I have access to my laptop. The app just ends up making me frustrated. 

    The times I bump is pretty sporadic. If I don't have work then I bump in the mornings. On days I do work, I bump when I get home. I rarely bump on the weekends. I'm sure when I am on maternity leave before baby I will be on here all the time. 

    UO Thursdays and FFFC are my favorites. I love the snark!

    I bump from my phone because my laptop broke (well my MacBook because the casualty of spilled beer, and rather than pay $750 to repair it, I bought an HP. My HP had a defective motherboard, which worked until one month after the warranty expired and I refuse to spend the money to have it fixed and also can't afford it). Not a fan of the app, but j generally avoid using my husband's computer so I don't accidentally close something out . . .

    I bump morning, noon, and night whenever I'm not busy doing something else or I need to sit down for a minute in between cleaning my house and chasing a two year old.

    I bump at work- M-F 9am-5pm. I'm a program coordinator at a university, but we are a new program and much of my time is spent at the front desk (not many visitors) and I have only a couple of coworkers who drive.me.nuts. that I dont communicate with much. So I spend all day on and off the Bump on my computer. I cannot stand the app. I just scan it while I'm on the buses and trains and give love tits. I love gifing. If I can solely speak in gifs, i'll do it... Gifs and memes. They crack me up. I send my husband at least 3 a day.

    Same bump hours :) I check in off and on throughout the day for a mind break. I work on a lot of projects that require reading and editing and waiting as people get back to me, so I needz the break here and there to reboot my brain! I second the GIFs and memes...brightens my day :)

    I mobile bump and yep, the app sucks. Also it's why I no GIF. It's not so easy to do from the app. I bump whenever I can't sleep and my husband is busy which works out to be basically all the damn time.

    I bump during my lunch break. Or if I need something to do while procrastinating at work.

    I bump at in the mornings at work while drinking my decaf cup of green tea, either checking my email or monitoring my library's Facebook page. I manage our social media accounts and website, so I'm pretty much my own master in terms of when I do things. ;)

    My summer vacation routine tends to be sleep in, slowly drink coffee, eat breakfast, and bump til I feel like I need to get my butt off the couch or I have somewhere I need to be. Then evenings when the husband is working (or sometimes when he's not). Then when I can't fall asleep. 

    Going back to work in a couple weeks, so that's totally going to throw a wrench in my schedule. :/
