Shoot- I'm addicted to DU.
I go through spells with DU where I'll post periodically- sometimes not for a three, four days- up to a week.

Then there's times like right now-

I haven't been able to keep from checking the boards for more than a couple of hours for about two days now (except for sleep).

Sometimes easy connectivity can be a real bitch.

5. A DUers Ananomous confession
Edited on Fri Sep-12-03 05:11 PM by ewagner
Hi, I'm Ed and I'am DUer

Since I woik out of the house, I'm the one in charge of getting dinner ready every night and my wife works late (until 6 or so)

One night last week I was indulging myself in a virtual orgy of DUing and completely forgot about dinner....until I heard the garage door open.......

I quickly shut down DU and and started thinking...FAST!

Since Iknew she had just completed a big important project I work, I met her at the door and announced that in celebration of the project completion, we were eating out that night.

She bought it.

I feel so ashamed. My addiction has made me a liar and an irresponsible one at that!

I need help! (so natuarlly I'm turning to DU :evilgrin: )

10. That's good!
I did that once with my homework. I'd been on DU all night and my mom asked me if I had it done. OF course I do Mom! What am I, some irresponsible twit??!! Of course, I was up until about 11 at night and bascially asleep all the next day. Whoops!

6. Me too.
If it makes you feel any better, we are better informed than 70+% of Americans.

Makes it worth that donkey on my back.
