Guest juliemtaylor Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 were you not warned of this affliction! Julie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Perhaps we should put a warning on as you press the last button to sign up. However, I suspect everyone will think ... nah... I can control it, I won't get addicted, then before long it's the first and last thing you do everyday, Friday nights you go in the chat room with a glass of wine in hand to do some research. A couple of hours later, the glass turned into a bottle of wine, you're having a conversation with your OH in the next room, telling him about people he's never even heard of never mind met. In general conversation you start using people's user names e.g. "I was chatting to my friend andromeda" last night Addictive ..... no never lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squem Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 HAHAHA Ali! Your post made me laugh.... That is exactly what i'm like but instead of my OH I go down to speak to my parents and tell them about people i've been speaking too.... my dad often says 'have you been speaking to the ozcans, susie or magnetic? because all i've heard all evening is you cackling away' hahaha! Addicted... NOOO not me! ;-) x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ozcans Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Oh, ditto. When we were in Istanbul in the summer at my BIL's house I borrowed the laptop and ended up in the chat room with Squem! My SIL was asking my OH 'WHO is she chatting to???' They thought it was a bit odd!! 'Oh, I don't know - her MATES on the forum!!' I had logged off (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) for 4 weeks - or so I thought ? Sue x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VickyMel Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Maybe our OHs/bosses should be able to set up a 1 hour limit per day with a moderator. I could have done with the "Care this may be addictive" warning. I keep promising myself (as I log in first to PIO as I switch on my office computer) that after I check the important posts I will log out and not look again till lunchtime... not managed it yet. Honest... it just runs in the background.... Just read my first sentence and at first I thought I should change it to 3 hours (cos the thought of 1 hour only :wacko:) - then realised even demanding 1 hour a day means I'm :twitcy: addicted.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm ashamed to say, so am I. In fact hubby got peeved of being a PIO widow and bought the forum so we could communicate with each other, now how sad is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
