Title: Cyber-aholics
Post by: YaadPyar on May 16, 2006, 11:41:32 am
Face it.  It's not just BBM that we love.  It's each other.  And the communication and feedback we get from the forum, the Inet and the chatroom.  This thread is dedicated to the cyber addict in all of us. 

Anke has inspired more creativity with the Visualization thread, so I'll steal her idea.  Post pics or anything that speaks to your addiction.  I'll go first:

Dear Celeste and fellow BBMers...

I gotta be with you guys even when I sleep! (Even if it means flipping the monitor on its side!) ...*sigh*
After watching BBM and Ennis for far too long, I got the 'flippin' down to the letter... ::)

Celeste, are you saying you have done that.  If so, I have another solution for you.

Anyway, I got this from a website, thought it's pretty funny.  I went down the list and think that we got most of these addiction symptoms covered among this group.  Not sure about 4, 6, 11, we will leave those to the guys to answer ;).

Prayer for the Addicted
 
God, grant me the serenity to accept a post I cannot change,
Courage to walk past the computer without turning it on when I'm running late for work,
And the wisdom to know the difference between "come to bed now" meaning "let's have some fun" and "come to bed NOW" meaning "that computer has got to go"!


AMEN

Chris - you slayed me with this one! We should ask Phllip if he's kept track of how many hours every member's been in the chat room. I bet I know who'd will the Iron Man Award for that one!  ;D

Great thread, thanks Celeste!

LOL Yaad!  These are funny!  ;D

I think you know you are a cyber-holic if:
Your brain shoots out tons of "LOL" or "ROFL" when you are laughing at something funny!
I'm not saying that I know anything about that!  ::)

Ooh, I missed this thread the first time around. 

I don't get it though about installing a second phone line for ordering pizza - we order ours online from the place down the street.
