Mr Fuzz is out of town, but even when he's here, he's not much for political or intellectual discussion, which I feeeeeeeed on.

So.....
Is there a 12 step group where I can face my addiction?

9. I wouldn't call it an addiction....."The Internets".....
Edited on Wed Jun-01-05 06:28 PM by liberalnurse
I always view an addiction as a behavior that includes consequences for continued practice of that behavior; dispite knowledge of such.

That said......I smoke cigarettes.

17. ohhh there are consequences
they don't have to be physical

substance addictions, behavioural addictions ....I'm having consequences from my DU addiction. You should see the mess here. I'm two steps away from calling in sick to work so I can practice my addiction!!! My ass will soon have a permanent upholstery imprint.


ohhhh yes, consequences aplenty.

I have easy access to DU at my desk. They gave me the Internet connection because I asked for it. No questions, they just did.....I stream AA and cruise DU.....

29. I'll tell you this much.....
It makes the day go by real fast; it's relaxing to be on DU and to listen to talk radio....I work in an intense atmosphere, everyone is in crisis or containing a crisis 24/7. I don't always have time to play but have the liberty to organize my day as I please. It helps when your the Supervisor.

30. Haaaha! You rule!!
I share an office with 4 other people, two serious fundies, and since I like their personalities, and they are kind enough not to intrude their beliefs on me, I try to do likewise (though I sometimes pass on a fact or two. But of course, it goes in one ear and out another, since its not coming from FOX or their pastor. Sad to see such young people be so close minded, and worse yet, clinging to beliefs that are so erroneous.)

Oh and the other reason I don't DU at work----
I cant remember my DU password.

:blush:

oh well, the job itself means I'm not in the office much anyway, so what the heck.

Being an addict, it wouldn't be enough anyway. "One is too many, 1,000 is not enough.", to quote classic Alchoholics Anonymous wisdom.


Crap I've been online too long. Crap I better get going!!!!!! Argggh!!
:cry:

Bye!! :hi:

36. Playing blues harp. I used to gig years ago, but let it slide...
But recently, I replaced all my old harps with some really nice Suzuki Bluesmasters and Promasters, dusted off my Fender Junior Pro amp and Shure Green Bullet mike, and got down to business.

It's gonna take awhile to build up my breathing again, and my runs are still a little bit rusty, but I can actually feel it coming back.

And I find myself listening to blues much more often now: Little Walter, Charlie Musselwhite, James Cotton, etc. Musically, it's as much a way of thinking as it is of feeling. :thumbsup:

40. Oh my god, I play blues harp too!
I haven't played in a while, but for a few years there, I was going to open jams around here and people actually didn't kick me off the stage!

Ohhhhhhhhhh!!! Crap, I have got to get off the dammmmmm computer, but I hope we can catch up another time. I would love to yak. Maybe even get motivated again (I have too many interests)
