AB2K, thanks for the pointers to all the interesting things I've been missing. Lots of front-page materials there.

One day you too, Logjam, will be addicted to the forums. You resist now, but ultimately, these forum reports will wear you down.

I feel the forums sucking on me every day, tempting "just register and see how it goes." But if I should ever give in, I'll be destitute within 6 months--job kaput, marriage shipwrecked. And perhaps worst of all, no internet connection. Can't risk it, honey.

Nice one, AB2K.

The forum is great. I joined up in '02 and didn't post until earlier this year! Couldn't live without it these days. Haven't posted much for a while, but I read it every day or so.

That forum is jam-packed. So much to read and so little time
Happy trails,

Logjam, I've been on the forum for almost four years now, during which time I have gotten married, completed a college degree, had a social life, and all while having a full-time job. I even clean my house once in a while. If I spend an hour per day on there, that's a lot, and that's only on days like today when I take off work and spend the day bumming around in my PJ's, which unfortunately doesn't happen often enough. I read every single post and come on here and approve comments and/or read stories on the front page. After the first month or so in which you will probably read most of the archived posts, you will not have the necessity of spending a lot of time on there. The same goes for anyone else. The forums are fun and will not ruin your marriage! In fact they make mine a little better. It gives me more poop material to talk about with my husband.

AB2K. I'm sure most people on the forums can handle it. I personally have no problem with alcohol -- have never abused it. But I've learned that I easily get addicted to video games and to open chat forums. I don't know why, but I can't learn to engage in those with moderation. It doesn't help that I'm on the computer all day at work, with a great internet connection, which makes it is soooo easy to check to see if there's anything new and exciting out on the web (or on PR). So I've learned that the best prevention is total abstinence.

There is too much...
