I was thinking today about how much time I spend building LEGO models (My
own stuff, not sets).

I realized that I spend an average of at least 2-3 hours a day, every day.
This includes dry periods where I'm doing something else or take a break for
a few days (because there are other days where I'll "play" for about 6-8
hours!).

So, this is about 14-21 hours a week!  That's quite a bit of time for a
hobby.

However, other folks spend that much time or more watching TV, so I suppose
LEGO building is better than that.

What do other people think?  Is it unhealthy to build LEGO that much?  Are
other people worse?

I'm curious.

     I spend at least the same amount of time as you.  Often more.  I don't
finish very many projects, mostly experiment with an idea and scrap it when
finished.  I spend a lot of time stairing intently at my collection with the
intention of building soemthing awesome and do nothing more than connect a
few pieces then go to work.
     Does that make me a Lego loser? :^)

Acually, I spend a good deal of time pondering as well. Usually, I'll play around with a few special parts, putting some new pieces on, and taking off others, until I get something I'm excited about. Kirby Warden <inourimage@msn.com> wrote in (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)
