At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. . . -

In life you have to kiss a few frogs to find your prince.
Life is a stage we all play a part -
I don't know why, but just yesterday I was overcome with this burning desire to accumulate points. For what?!? A glowing username?!? Oooooh!!!!!
When you are born into this world you reach for either a bow and quiver, which is blessed by the Sun, our Grandfather, or you reach for an awl and sewing bag, which is blessed by the moon, our Grandmother. From that time on you will follow that vision and be blessed.Comment

I don't know really! I am on here off and on from 8 to 5 Monday thru Friday, it helps me to pass my time at work. Then like someone else said, I get an urge to earn points and then I don't want to use them. Then I can go for days and touch a computer, because I'm on one at work all day. I like to stay busy, so if I don't have anything to do, I check pw.com and get my post on for the day. :37:Just Be Real, and live for who you are!Comment

Truth or Consequence
I know we are just having fun; but for some people computer/internet addiction is a very real thing. Addiction used to be a term reserved for drugs. I mean, they even called people that drink to excess alcoholics, not addicts. But these days, in my profession, an addict can be someone whose compulsion is the computer, shopping, gambling, eating, sex, love...etc. Yes, there is a difference between sexual addiction and love (romance) addiction. Sex addiction generally results in more possibility for criminal behavior than love addiction. Anyway, for what it is worth, here is a checklist for you guys! :24:
If you think you need a professional 'referral' let me know! :mickey2:
Computer / Internet Addiction - Self Diagnosis
Ten Symptoms of Computer Addiction (by James Fearing, Ph.D.)
If you said yes to one question you may have a problem with computer addiction. If you said yes to two questions, there is a good chance you do have a problem with computer addiction. If you answered yes to three or more, you are demonstrating a pattern of behavior which would suggest that you are addicted to your computer and/or the activities on it.- A demonstrated "loss of control" when trying to stop or limit the amount of time on the computer. (Breaking promises to self or others. Promising to quit or cut down and not being able to do so)
- Being dishonest or minimizing the extent of the time you stay on the computer, or covering up or being dishonest about what activities you participate in when on the computer.
- Negative consequences experienced by the computer user or his/her friends or family as a direct result of time or activities spent on the computer.
- Participation in high risk or normally unacceptable behaviors when using the computer. Compromising your morals and values based on the opportunity to remain anonymous and protected on the computer. (a good test for this is to ask yourself if your spouse, partner or family would approve of what you were doing on the computer)
- An overdeveloped sense of importance for the computer in ones life. Defending your right to use the computer as much as desired, regardless of the fact that people in your life are feeling left out and neglected. (denial of the problem and justification; not being able to hear or feel what the other people are saying regarding your computer behavior)
- Mixed feelings of euphoria (a "rush"), combined with feelings of guilt brought on by either the inordinate amount of time spent on the computer or the abnormal behavior acted out while using the computer.
- Feelings of depression or anxiety when something or someone shortens your time or interrupts your plans to use the computer.
- Preoccupation with the computer and computer activities when you are not using the computer (thinking about the computer and its activities when doing something else; i.e. having a family dinner, working on project deadline etc.)
- Finding yourself using the computer at times when you are feeling uncomfortable, irritated, or sad about something happening in your life. ( feeling uncomfortable in your relationship, so you will self medicate and "hide out" on the computer) Using time on the computer to become externally focused outside yourself as a way to avoid facing what is happening in your life, and avoiding feeling the appropriate feelings inside yourself. (self medicating)
- Experiencing financial concerns or problems in your life as a result of money being spent on computer hardware, computer on-line charges, or any other costs associated with computers. (Spending money on computer related items which should have been allocated to other normal living expenses)

Well I haven't robbed a bank so that I could get a new harddrive, I haven't got the carpal tunnel syndrome, but I did have a dream last night about my computer, but my hardrive crashed, and erased my memory so now i don't remember what the dream was about. I'll reboot tonight, and see if I can remember tomorrow. J/K. I KNEW Washakie would post on this topic being she's a counselor.

I guess I'm not an internet addict myself because no where does it mention you are an addict if you spend half your time on QVC.com shopping! The UPS man has become my best friend!
