Do you check this board before you check your email?

Do you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and check the board before going back to bed?

Do you check the board more than three times a day?

If you answered yes to two or more, you may have the same problem I do.

Should we start a diary for addiction?

Ok I will stop, I have really enjoy this board and all the great posts by you.

Thanks

NvMike

Being an addict, and wanting to do something about it are two differant things.

Probably could have had about 3 machines built in the time I've spent here...lol

Maybe there's a self-help group for this, everytime you feel the urge to check out Otherpower, you phone them and they come over and sit and drink with ya!..LOL

Sorry, there is no cure... the only thing that even mildly calms withdrawls is building a wind turbine. So... what are you waiting for? Go build a turbine! Then come back and share it!

Have Fun

Looking out the window....

I have a shortcut to the board right next to my 3 day forecast. I spend so much time here I sometimes forget to read my e-mail.

We could call it O.P.A. (otherpower anonymous) and then just log in under a different name lol

You mean you people turn your computers off and stop watching? I've been told there's other things on the internet but I just haven't been able to leave here to check. Then again why would I?

If you think this board is bad.... you should try the IRC! Between the board, and the many comments on IRC it can get a bit overwhelming at times...

I think Ill do what Ed suggested - turn this off right now and go build another wind turbine ;-)

pyrocasto · « **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2005, 09:44:37 AM »

I know what you mean Dan, I'm on there usually 24/7. I always have questions and they usually get answered very well. I check the forums at least 5 times a day to see what recent activity there has been.

yep--we just don"t shoot the breeze-we gotta put harness on it!

nvmike · « **Reply #21 on:** March 08, 2005, 04:28:58 PM »

Glad to know others have the same problem. Next I will work on a 10-step program for those recovering the addiction. Next meeting will be announced later at an undisclosed location.

richhagen · « **Reply #22 on:** March 08, 2005, 06:17:55 PM »

You know having read about every comment posted here in the last year, if your were to take the amount of time required and multiply that by the number of us that have, just think of all the man-hours of productivity and what we could have built. I need to read less and build more, --right after I check the latest postings and add a few comments here and there. Rich
