online addictions

[tonksy]

yes...yes...i'll admit it. i've been cheating on OTC! i am so ashamed....but it's all bish's fault! he reeled me in! i am addicted to online scrabble (or jamble as they call it.) i play at www.itsyourturn.com

what do you spend to much time perusing on the web? um...beyond the porn that is.

Nothing.

If I had or have something else to do I do that instead. Internet is just a time pass for those slow hours or late night browsing when I can't sleep.

Internet, for the greater part, bores me...greatly infact. Too many flash sites with bland cartoons, too much crap humor, too many people with pages and opinions that no one cares about, too many pushing too much, too much of everything eventually amounts to a whole lot of nothing...that is the internet today.

Either its OTC or some other choice forum and thats it...I get bored, go away and watch tv or do something interesting.

The internet is a great tool but I am glad I never got addicted.

i suppose you take me too literally. addiction was just a cute way of saying that i found something that i enjoy to do online. thought i'd share.

I didn't. I knew what you meant. You're a full time mom, a working woman and many other things...frankly; you don't have time to be addicted to anything...no?

To be perfectly honest, this place is becoming something of an addiction.

quite right. i find the jamble to be a stress relief as well as a brain stimulator. plus it's something that can easily take the back burner.

abooja? it's not an addiction. you can quit at any time...or at least that's what i keep telling myself.

You should have seen the heyday. There were some 2000+ post days with nigh upon 100 participants. You couldn't keep up.

No way I would have kept up with all that.

Well...

Live journal is a huge time waster for me and I play the yahoo online version of scrabble and also pool and some of the card games. I also have some quilting sites that I play around on in hopes that someday my work will resmeble something close to what they have.

Addiction? What addiction?

Addiction? What addiction?

the first step to healing an addiction is to quit living in denial about it

There are many times I wished I had a lapptop. Great news stories pop up & I'm off in the boonies.

I don't come here all that much anymore, a few nights a week for an hour or so maybe. I used to be on the boards a lot, but that was after I got out of school and before I got a job, and I quit being a bum and got the job (honestly, I just had good timing, a full time position opened up a block away from home and I already worked part time for the store and was just asking for full time). I spend some of my free time here, but this is usually all I have time for online. I don't play too many games, not only because I don't have time for them, but also because for the most part I'm not very good at them. I got a lot of big projects this week, the first half of our biggest tournament of the year's next weekend. Gotta prepare to deal with nearly 400 kids, yikes.

I don't know whatever it is you speak of.

That number was up around 30 at one time. I've actually slowed down a great deal.
