    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

    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... :)

    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, 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?'

    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.

    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:
