So what IS your amhd addiction level?

Have to go to the bathroom but holding.

The honey do list will have to wait another day

My stomach is growling but I don't want to take time to cook/eat.

Should be leaving for appointment but HAVE to cancel because a really interesting post popped up

Been wearing the same clothes for the past three days, haven't even gone to bed!

OTHER Explain___________________________________________ ______________

I have noticed that my housework is dwindling, but I'm working on it! Slowly:D
I have managed to change my clothes today (I think), but haven't eaten tonight and don't plan to for the foreseeable future.;)

I don't think I'm addicted at all...

LOL!

No Help, have you been watching me? :eek:

All of them except the last one. Most days :o

I don't think I'm addicted at all....

LOL!

Ahhh a CLEAR case of denial!!

Okay you are ABOUT tied with me!

Ahhh a CLEAR case of denial!!!!

That's the first sign that there's a problem.

CM, come on in, have a seat on the couch, let's talk. :)

I do believe that what inspired this post was my telling you you had it worse than me but I forget what you said that caused me to say you had it worse than me. Fess up what was it!?

I plead the 5th. :D

Can I lay on the couch, cause I sense an intervention...

Go ahead, I'll wake you up when we get to the good stuff. :)

Hmmm, what or who do you plan to lay on the couch? I'll watch.

Children are so annoying when I'm on AMHD! They have the gall to ask for my time, food too!

Tell me about it.

How many times do I have to teach them how to use the stove? The food's in the fridge, open, choose, cook, eat. It's not hard. :rolleyes:

Definitely the holding of the urine and growling of the stomach!

I also get this one:

*enter 12 year old brother*
Him: "TORRID! WANNA PLAY A GAME?!"
Me: "....Huh? What? What do you want?"
H: "DO. YOU. WANNA. PLAY. A. GAME."
M: "Uh, yeah, sure, just give me 10 minutes."
H: "OKAY."


*10 minutes later*
H: "OKAY IT'S BEEN 10 MINUTES ARE YOU READY TO PLAY?!"
M: *looks at clock* "There is no way it's been 10 minutes! You're just impatient!"
H: "TORRID I AM 12 I CAN TELL TIME."
M: "Well...just for that attitude, you're going to have to wait 10 more minutes."
H: "TORRID YOU'RE A FATHEAD."
M: "Yeah, yeah, and you smell like a cheese doodle. ...Now where was I..."


*repeat cycle*

That sounds like my kids Torrid.

Okay, I guess I'm not getting the "mother of the year" award this year.

What else is new? ;)

My brother just doesn't understand that I'm tryin' to keep it REAL.

XD

My kids don't understand either.

What:confused:

Okay I confess! I haven't changed my clothes since Saturday and have been arrested for hanging out in the library parking lot after they have closed (computer down) ::Screaming... OPEN! OPEN!:: I have however fed and watered my dogs every day (Priorities):D

LMAO! Dahlia, she was talking to me.

Do you have a guilty conscience? ;)

I knew she was talking to you, I just couldn't understand the 'one' really long sentence.:rolleyes:

I was just confessing out of line.:o Forget what I said, nothing was true! I don't even know where the library is!:rolleyes:

I used to be on here almost 24/7.


I don't think I'm that addicted anymore but at times I can't seem to stop staring at the monitor so I end up popping in the a babysign DVD for my toddler so I can sit here a little longer ;)

Mud... What the heck is your new Avi? I can't really see, my glasses are not that good because I haven't left the computer since Jan.
EDIT: except when I was in jail with the library thing

It's Eve reaching for the forbidden fruit:

That's just how I roll...

Sarah

Red hair = 00BER SEXY! >:3

Nice!

I hope that works. My avatar... is me! :D



Awww... it didn't work. :(

*fail*

I've noticed that my fingers are growing longer, my eyes seem larger (cause I am usually in a trance here) and what's left of my brain is in power reserve mode...

I plead the 5th. :D

I PLAN to look it up:D

(cause I am usually in a trance here) and what's left of my brain is in power reserve mode....

Ahhh I think you just described the stage I am going into.
My eyes are growing dim and I am finding myself in a trance and my brain has been in neutral mode.

I think I am glad I posted this now I can KNOW what stages to look forward to.

Well... I've noticed that I can type a lot faster than before I found this site. I actually have coworkers once in a while wondering what the heck I'm typing since it's not really something I ever need to do unless I'm sending someone an email. Actually one of my friends at work just the other day was like, "Dang, where did you learn to type so fast?" and then another guy "You're not looking at the keys at all? You're sitting here talking to me and you're not even looking? Seriously?" I guess I have been spending quite a bit of time on here especially since my hours changed drastically at work for the last 2 months.

Yeah I think that typing faster was stage 3 addiction for me. I even am typing away at midnight in PITCH DARK!!

Sending for take out cause I'm so wrapped up in a post.

Chain smoking.
Toxic levels of coffee.
Not sleeping because I'm pondering over a question.
Suddenly realising I've spend 6 hours of my day off on the boards.

What I want to know is... what makes it addictive?

What am I getting out of it?

I'm past counting posts,or caring about greenies or reddies..

I have a problem.

Yeah I can relate especially the SUDDENLY realizing I've spent 8 hrs on my day off on the boards and didn't even get one load of laundry in.

I don't have the pondering problem. I guess because by the time I pull my fingers off the keyboard it is 12:30 pm and I fall to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

Ah sure could be worse!

In saying all that,I have learned a lot from reading answers to posts,plus my job is mentally stressful and I find the site gives my mind something else to ponder!

I just told my son and my boyfriend almost a month ago... they were picking on me for my ''addiction'' I said yeah what do you expect when you all don't want to listen to anything I have to say. At least on the internet I can have real conversations and learn things.

I'm the opposite,my daughters never stop talking,I often tell them I'm doing stuff for work and to leave me alone!

I work with people who have a lot of mental health issues and disabilities,so in a way,I am working,practicing my trade... at least that's what I tell myself!

Could AMHD be a hobby? At the very least an interest?

I also wonder do we all have a need to help.. are the regular AMHD posters a type of person?

I'm also totally addicted to garlic mayo at the moment.

Sure call it a hobby...
I can live with that description.

After all manicurists are now called nail technicians
Car washers are called detailers
Garbage men are called waste managers

What type of person are we at amhd..

Hmmm I guess maybe Dear Abby wannabe's ?

Dear abby's wannabe's.. I like it!

Yeah, I am truly addicted. I used to just pop in during down time at work... now I seem to be avoid mundane work, just to help here.

There are days when the site is so interesting, I skip lunch, don't go to the bathroom, forget that I am a smoker...

Of course without popping in and being on all day, I have SO much to go through when I do make it on, so the best alternative is to never break... can't have AMHD falling behind. :D

Sounds like amdh is good therapy --lose weight, cut back smoking,


I know what you mean about getting caught up when you 'take a break' here. :D

Ha ha.. now that was funny... :D

So, let's summarize. AMHD has brought us many purposeful benefits;

Dedication to the task

Better physical health

Better mental health

Ability to really 'focus'

Keeps us off the streets

Strengthens internet bonds

Better skills (typing)

Weight loss

Saves us money (less cigarettes)

and...better parenting

Love it... :)

Stringer

Insures the Rogaine will not go out of business... as I believe I do have increase hair loss, from the pulling out of hair. ::shrug::

What stage is pulling hair?

I know I have felt like it especially with people who ask should they leave and then 101 posts later they are still defending and justifying why they want to stay.

I like the great reasons you came up with stringer.
When this post is finished I am going to do a stage addiction list thing :D

Yeah, there is a flip side to all this isn't there...

Sometimes in the middle of the night when I come down to my smoking room/office (not allowed to smoke anywhere else) I think that smoking may be an excuse to check out the posts... :eek:

Well, it's quarter after 11, thanks to this website, looks like another night of only 4 hours sleep again!

:-)

So what IS your amhd addiction level?

Have to go to the bathroom but holding.

The honey do list will have to wait another day

My stomach is growling but I don't want to take time to cook/eat.

Should be leaving for appointment but HAVE to cancel because a really interesting post popped up

Been wearing the same clothes for the past three days, haven't even gone to bed!

We really need help! :eek:

I have a desktop, imagine my dilemma.

Well, I thought I was OK - I said to myself that I'm not one of those AMHD addicts that logs out at 4.30 am...

... Until,

I woke up at 4.30 am a couple of nights ago and I couldn't sleep and thought, 'hey I could go and check what's happening on the AMHD forums!'

... Until,

My husband said, 'are you still on the computer and why is the house so untidy? "

... Until,

A friend rang and asked 'do you want to have coffee', and I said 'um, er, can we do it tomorrow?'

To paraphrase a previous poster (hee he) "We need help...."

Wow, gosh, I definitely agree with nearly all of yours N0help!

I haven't cancelled an appointment... yet, but sadly the others are all true.

I'm lucky to have a laptop, I'm sitting here in my comfy recliner, legs stretched out and laptop on knee :D :p

The pits is when they feel they have to rush you and shut the computer down as you go to hit submit...

Chicago is a world class city with a ton to do and beautiful too... you are welcome to come visit...

Picture number 18 (down from the top is the building that I used to live in. It is the dark building at the left, sits right next to the shore on the 26th floor... beautiful view.

Are the lakefront pics off Lakeshore Drive?

I was to (I think) southside beach Chicago
Along Lakeshore drive
The El train and
JPUSA around 20 some yrs ago.

Yes and the Chicago Rive which now flows out of Lake Michigan, they reversed the flow.

I lived right next to Navy Pier maybe two blocks from the shore, actually Lakeshore Drive was west of me and the lake was east.

So what IS your amhd addiction level?

Have to go to the bathroom but holding.

The honey do list will have to wait another day

My stomach is growling but I don't want to take time to cook/eat.Definitely at least this far. I probably wouldn't cancel an appointment over it but I might be a few minutes late! And for good measure, I'll add:
