Title: Myswag addiction
Post by: maverick01 on February 15, 2012, 06:26:04 PM
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.

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.

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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

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.

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!!!
