Hitting refresh every two minutes and expecting to find 40 new articles to read and reply to.
Hmpf ...
I was never addicted until slick took the oath to F our country over...I’m not sad about my addiction...just mad as hell that I lapsed for a while under the malaise of GWB!!!
“Hitting refresh every two minutes and expecting to find 40 new articles to read and reply to.”
Two minutes??
You are nowhere near hooked......
;-)
There was a lull after hitting refresh so many times, so I decided to post this article on internet addiction. Not because I am addicted, or that any of my fellow FReepers are addicted...it's for all those other people out there.
OMG! I know you old timers are out there! stop hiding and come back with your brilliance...If your not dead...we need you now more than ever!
Thanks for posting. I thought I was the only one left tonight.
Am I logged in?
I probably hit F5 every 20 seconds to see if a thread is growing or not.
Back in the days of Windows 3.1, one could click onto a log which showed how much time one spent on the computer. When I upgraded, the phone bill (dial-up) showed how many minutes, nay hours, I was on the internet. Now I have Firefox and don’t know if there is such a logging available and with broadband, I still don’t know. Perhaps it is best that I don’t know just how much I’m on here. Mostly on FR too! Thanks, Jim!!!! and everyone else. Best place to be.
As for your thoughtfulness, Wardenclyffe, thank you.
I'm just getting my fix.
LOL. Yes, I do that as well. Some of those became classics too.
LOL
I go to bed any time I want to. I know my limits.
Sleep well, folks.
