How addictive is this site??

Postby terminaltackle on Wed Apr 19, 2006 11:47 pm

Ok I'm hooked I cant turn the computor on without logging in. I am starting to lose count of the hours that I am in here and there is just so much to see and read.

What do you do to break the habit??
Or is this just to addictive??


:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: This is what my eyes look like now..

I have a reminder that pops up every two hours to tell me to go outside and re-introduce myself to the family.

Addiction? Just forget about it, Brett. Resistance is futile.

I'll tell you the odds of you not being addicted to this site, but you won't like it :)

Yeah, but now that you've mentioned that, we're more likely to stick you in a group where you can only see but can't type anything.

It's like being invisible to the world.

Or like being a lurker with no choices.

Hmm.

Kind of like how our government treats us.

Please dont, I will try to be good.. Just give the pills, counselling and shock therapy a chance first :chook:

And if that doesn't work I think my wife said something about a knife and some part of my anatomy :shock:

I think I might have to sell off all my camera gear as I spend all my spare time on here instead of out shooting :)

My other half always comes into the office, to ask if I've finished X, and then shakes his head and walks away, saying "Get off that bloody site" :)

But I always tell him, 'I'm learning' !!!!!!!

Or at least I think I am ;)

I get, "You spend so much time on that computer". How do you organise to log in automatically? The check box does not seem to work for me.
