Just wondering who else is totally addicted to this site.
Now im not talking about just browsing it once in a while but Whenever im free i have to jump on here and i have been like this for some time now. I usually browse the site during my lunch break at work and when i get home im straight on here and same before and after tea.
What i was wondering though is surely i cant be the only 1 with this condition and is there any simple solution.
-
You're not Robinson Crusoe by any means.
I am still surprised a divorce lawyer hasn't joined up and started touting for business.
-
My addiction is not as bad as it was, more like a habit these days... :laugh:
-
I'm with you mate... can't wait to get home to get onlilne and see what has been happening..... Perhaps we should start a support group.....
-
Me too.
It is the first thing I check on the computer at work and home.
-
Yep iam hooked on here reading before work at smoko and also at lunch then when I get home iam back on again I knew I got this iPad for a reason I even sit in the car park while SWMBO goes shopping me and the dog are on myswag.
Come to think of it the dog (Billy) this site as much as I do or he just likes to sit on my lap while iam on myswag.
May be I need to see someone about it............Na Iam fine just need to go camping where there is no 3G service then think of all the posts to catch up on when I get home.
:cheers:

Broadly, addiction is defined as the continued use of a mood altering addictive substance or behaviours despite adverse consequences
Addiction can also be viewed as a continued involvement with a substance or activity despite the negative consequences associated with it
The term addiction is also sometimes applied to compulsions that are not substance-related, such as compulsive shopping, sex addiction/compulsive sex, overeating, problem gambling, exercise/sport and computer addiction
And a snap shot of the main concerns, a few of us are in deep trouble ;D

At least I'm not on both lists!

As a guy new to CT's, I log in just to learn about stuff like 12v, water solutions, mech stuff as well as captain cook at the trip pics.
Love this site
-
I work from home so I would say that I am totally addicted - it is the first ting I do every time I walk into my office.
-
I am definately addicted to this site and my jayco hasnt even been built yet!!!! I have the forum open all day. I look at first thing before I check emails and do a final once over on the topics before bed.... I need help :)

-
Oh Thank Goodness. I thought I was addicted, but I didn't see my name on either of those lists. Phew ... it's just a habit ... that was lucky.

Every time I have my iPad out, hubby says you on Myswag again. Your bloody addicted!!!!
-
Yep, all of the above!!! ;D
A hint folks, do what I did last weekend and get the unbeleiver to come along to one of the myswag trips or local meets. SHMBO had a great time and wants to know when/where the next one is.
:cheers:
-
Yes we recently bought a new computer and the first thing I put in the favourites list was Myswag. The wife has given up asking which site I'm on now and that's great because I usually too focused on some topic on here to bother giving her a reply. Hopefully nobody at the sandy creek trip will tell her that though lol.
I need help
-
hahahaha I can SO relate to everything said so far!!
This is the first and only forum I've ever visited and just love it.
Don't know if to call it an addiction or a habit - who gives a rats - will just keep coming back for more!
Crap!! Is that the time???? Gotta get off this thing!!!
;D ;D ;D

Me too - without a boss looking over your shoulder it's easy to spend hours here every day!
I should be writing some software right now..... but I'm not!! :) :) :cup:

Me too
It is hard to stop looking

I don't understand how one could get addicted to any site. I have managed to read every post here, and looked every evening after work, but do not post that often. My wife however spends hours on here looking at the different cooking methods, and camping places. Somehow I do not think this computer has seen so much use since we joined MySwag.
Still cannot work out how to put up a picture, or if I am eligible.

I thought I had solved my addiction as I wasn't on for a while but I'm back into it in a big way again. Just need to learn how to snap my fingers and all other jobs done. Things tend to get a bit neglected at my place if I spend too much time here. Love it though. Get lots of info, laughs and am a keen observer of some of the controversy. First time I've ever joined a forum and still here.
Cheers
Louise :D

Happy 200 to D4D, i think we are well past the addiction and into a really bad habit >:D

I don't know what you're all talking about...........

Habit was 100, obsession is 200 :) I am slowing up in my old age though.

Hi,
it is not all that difficult, I put up a post here (http://myswag.org/forum/index.php?topic=2587.msg34463#msg34463) some time ago which may help you.
cheers
-
Its fun but also a tease reading others trips & experiences. But also helping each other (even Jeep owners....lol) with solutions be it transport, CT mods, mechanical or ELECTRICAL.
Its also a good place to gather a group of fellow minded that WILL DO THE UP COMING TRIP, not just pull out and the trip goes from 10 cars to 2 in the last week for what ever reason.
I always find it that trips are talked about with the mates but unless you be their mother & sort their stuff/car/camper out it becomes to hard to be bothered.
Its also a bit of fun
I think I should of put this in the I thread.... ;D
I say :cheers: to a habit that cant be described as bad.....more like soothing

When you reply to a post click on the additional options at the bottom of the page. You will see a couple of things pop up and one of them is ATTACH, choose file. Hit the attach button and it will bring up one of your folders on your computer. You have to click on the folder with your photos on it. Then click on the photo and hit post. If that doesnt work let me know

Ditto She says is there a forum for people who are addicted to forums ,so we Googled and guess what there is

Wish my wife would sign up and join myswag.
She keeps telling me we need to spend more time together ......

This is a great site and is addictive,but some on here seem to be rather obsessed!!

Obsession is a state of mind, as are being addicted or what ever you want to call it. My way of sorting out SWMBO is this...
Her: Are you on MYSWAG again????
Me: Ummmm yes?
Her: You know there Internet is a really big place with lots of other things to see and do on it?
Me: Yep... but that requires effort?
Her: Your ridiculous!
Me: Ok would you like me to just get the cards out and go on to Ebay? Because I can spend my time there if you would like?
Her: (gets her lap top out) He look Nick, Myswag has some great info on cooking and places we can go. What do you think of going here next?
Me: Sure sweety!
PROBLEM SOLVED!! >:D
Cheers

Im not addicted, I only come on a couple of times a day, have installed taptalk on my galaxy tab so I can keep up with the posts whilst I am out and about.
My hubby has given up asking what site I am on and having too much fun reading, or laughing too much about something I am reading. He is now a myswagger too. :) Hi Honey (sup8pdct) :)
Should of seen me when they were having problems with the site :( was not a happy camper without my myswag hit each day :D
Thank goodness they fixed it, dont know what I would do without my daily myswag hit :D
Really you are a wonderful group of people to be associated with, love all the posts, and the people behind them are pretty tops too

So you havnt joined the myswag Facebook Group yet? Missing out on all the minute by minute updates of BJ's trips and adventures? The funny quips his dear SHMBO adds from time to time?
Better join up quick and show dubette that you are tech savvy and up with the times. ;D

Yeah ... the mental image would be a tad bizarre. I recall one who knows saying that the ratio is 13:1 in the blokes favour here.
Okay, Okay, I'm one of the few Sheila's allowed here to keep you lot honest because SWMBO's aren't??

Girlie, Curvy and Happily Addicted! ;D
scary indeed ;D
-
So I'm laying in bed with a moody wife as she has done her rotator cuff in the shoulder. So the only way to avoid getting trouble is to jump in here. Yes I know it's 5:00 but I guess I'm addicted.
Bugger, The beast has rolled over asking what I'm doing. I guess I need to think of something quick.
It really becomes an addiction when you log in while still laying in bed wondering what other swaggers have been up too, when in fact I should be out exploring the country side or modifying something.

scary indeed ;D

I was addicted to other forums a long time ago before the days of Stalkbook. I thought I had kicked the habit but then I found MYSWAG. I have been rather sedate here but I also havent met anyone in person yet.... give it time.....

Between Myswag, Aulro & Ausfish I sometimes grunt to my wife.

In a week long safety induction for the mines. Still can't get off myswag.
Slightly addicted . ;D

Here was I in the northern flinders ranges camped at chambers gorge and I was seriously missing the chance to tell you all how fantastic it was to sit back with no-one around...fire...beers..coffee I the mornings.. Bliss! But I couldn't as no phone reception...but that was bliss too as work could not make contact with me!!!
