I neeeeeed it.

[dinasour]

ROFLMAO

I understand.

[Just another Joe]

Is that why you were away or are you needing it BECAUSE you were away?

"I am tictoc and I'm a FR addict. Last Saturday I went on a FR binge, and I'm so ashamed."

[WKB]

I made it for 3 months while my computer was on the blink!
It can be done!
Those "Freepatine" patches don't help either!

[umgud]

There are several reasons why I contribute to FR. And #1 is the fear of waking up some day and FR not being there.

[Libertina]

LOL What do you MEAN that FR will be DOWN for upgrading between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. in the morning!!!!!!

[TADSLOS]

Heh Heh...Freepers in withdrawal are easy to spot.

[LibKill]

Fit to be tied? :)

[Catspaw]

OMG! We're going on vacation next winter and I'll be without FR for THREE WEEKS!

I am going to figure out a way to freep, even if I have to tap into someone's phone line.

I'm going into withdrawal already....

[dighton]

To be attempted ONLY under medical supervision.

Symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose; they include anxiety, irritability, elevated heart and respiration rate, muscle pain , nausea, tremors, hallucinations, confusion, and seizures. Death is a possibility if the condition is left untreated. Because barbiturates decrease REM sleep (rapid eye movement sleep, during which dreaming takes place), withdrawal often results in sleep disruptions such as nightmares, insomnia, or vivid dreaming.

I'll start a prayer thread for you.

I was on vacation last week...bad internet connection. The frustration of trying to get online was actually MORE unbearable than lack of Freeping, if you can believe it.

[Psycho_Bunny]

It's easy to give up FR for a week or two.

Just kick strangers at random. 

It works great.

1) I am powerless against FR -- baffling, cunning, powerful. My life has become unmangeable.

[PoisedWoman]

LOL! I pace. Back and forth, hyperventilating, trying to keep my hand from clicking on FR. I swear it has a mind of its own.

I've tried, oh Lord how I've tried, to quit. Have written farewell notes to favorite freepers. Even called the phone company and asked them to stop my Internet connection service. Nothing works. The stupid phone co. cannot even figure out how to disconnect me. No kidding. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd make plenty of this!

[grimalkin]

lol... For three days I was visiting my parents and almost needed one of those since they have no computer.

Instead, I planted container trees in 90 degree California heat. Never again.

2) Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

[Slyfox]

SNAP OUT OF IT MAN!!

[Gil4]

What do you MEAN that FR will be DOWN for upgrading between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. in the morning!!!!!!

I know - that drives me crazy. Of course, where I am it's down from 10:00 a.m. to noon...

3) Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
