    Anyone else in here feel like they are addicted to this forum. I check it more than Facebook and want to reply to every post I read. Lol.

    Off topic but kinda related, I just ordered the book “Mine” by Jean Donaldson. Amazon let me read the first 7 pages and now I have to wait till January to read the rest. Arrrg. Very interesting stuff.

    I really can't stand Facebook (though I check it once every 10 days or so as I have a couple friends who only communicate that way) and for December I've decided to not read any news websites in an effort to de-stress myself. So the Forum is my last remaining addiction and I freely admit that, like @Rosie , I'm a "Foruholic".

    Well, I should say "last remaining ONLINE addiction". My love of pizza/Ben & Jerry's seems to be still going strong. Thank goodness for big winter coats. :D

    I've found it useful and distracting in some difficult situations. I've never been in FB or any other sights. This one is fine and I feel comfortable talking to people and I don't normally do that. I've learnt a lot and met some really nice people and dogs.

    Only non professional online profile I have.
    Then again owning a Lab is professional so all my online profiles are professional. Does that count?

    Just a thought, maybe we need to attend
    LFA. Of course this would have to be done online and on here :p

    As hard as I try to convince myself I'm not addicted I fail every time -- might as well admit it, yeah, I'm addicted :)

    Probably better for my health than other forms of addiction I may or may not be prone to --:drink:;)

    I'm not addicted. Honestly, I'm not. It's all completely under control......

    It’s ‘work’ related for me. Isn’t it? :nod:
