Does cold sweats and nausea mean anything? "yuc, yuc, yuc, yuc"

My Mrs thinks I'm addicted, but I just like to check in once or twice a day.

I have spent a lot of time here since entering the hobby in March. I don't see it as an addiction. It is fun, it is informative, and similar to Chuck, I log in at work to pass the time. I often leave it on the task bar and check it every so often. I am here now, I will be here in ten minutes.

Am I in denial?
[;)][:-,]Really I don't have a problem. No, seriously, I could quit if I wanted. Stop looking at me like that. I don't know why I am sweating so bad.[:D][swg]

Ive got a dirty secret
I am addicted to the forums
And it eats up time
sigh
gotta block this site
or exhibit self restraint
that works too.

I work in a plant on the Houston ship channel..one of those jobs that we call "hours upon hours of boredom with moments of sheer terror"... I can't say i'm addicted to trains.com but I spend a lot of time here while i'm at work because i do enjoy the forum and it keeps me from going insane when there's noting to do and nothing's going on at the plant...it's either this, computer solitaire, or babbling and twiddling my thumbs until shift change..which can make a blithering idiot out of a normally sane person in no time!...Chuck

Almost all my free time that I have access to a computer, I'm here, but I am still only able to get here 110 mins a day, because I don't have a home computer. So, see you all later, because come next friday, I won't be here.

Yep...Definatly hooked. Just what I needed, one more thing to distract me from my layout. Though I must say a big thanx to everyone out there. I've learned more in the last three weeks than I have in the last three years.

I'm afraid so, I check in several times a day. I think that's what the stars measure - your level of addiction.
Enjoy

I used to be in the winter months when things were a little slow on the railroad building, but now that summer is here I show up very little. Maybe once or twice a month when I have time. Since I plan to rebuild the railroad this winter perhaps all of you will be kind enough to answer some silly questions from a modeler of 30 years and six previous layouts that were good but not what I wanted. Know what I mean? We're all smiling now aren't we?

You mean there OTHER train places on the net!

No, I can go 3-4 hrs with out checking in.

[tstage]

No...I'm NOT! That's the sixth time I've read your accusation today...

[MisterBeasley]

Face it, this is a fast-moving forum. If you don't check in every couple of hours, the world just passes you by. We have philosophers, technicians, comedians and genuine experts here all the time. As Spinal Tap says in "Big Bottom Woman," how can I leave this behind?

[rayhippard]

I agree with SIMON1966. In my 40 plus years of MRR, I have met some very nice people just like you all. Also, SPACEMOUSE, that was a very generous offer you made to TRAINFREAK. To bad he couldn't accept as I was about to follow your lead and offer some old but good items. I enjoy this forum, so I answered yes, addictred.
Ray----Great Northern fan.

I am a 24/7 caregiver and whenever I get a few minutes to myself I check the forum, sometimes 4 or 5 times a day. It is a nice mind break but leaves me precious little time to work on my modules.

[selector]

Nope, I can always get up and move over to the Super Empire Builder any time I want. And, I will go to the bathroom if the urge is strong enough. So, no way....

[pcarrell]

If you mean that I'm trying to figure out how to take a computer on a houseboat for a week just so I can log in...then yes!

[Anonymous]

yea i am.. i am here or at other train forams all the time it keeps me awake at work lol

i drop by several times a day . i'm trying to replace an Everquest (online computer game) addiction with a model railoading addiction . it's working very well so far

And cheaper.

ehh ? everquest costs something like $13 per month , i've spent close to $1000 in the last 6 months on model railroading stuff and i dont even have an inch of track laid or any DCC equipment yet .

[fiatfan]

I enjoy reading the topics and watching the easy give and take among the members. But overall, I'm not addicted to it. I check in every evening, read for about 15-20 minutes, and move on to something else.

It's like that corner pub, I'm never sure who's gonna be there but I'll definitely know at least 1 or 2![:D]

[Anonymous]

I was for a long time, but in the last month or so, not so much. There just haven't been a lot of interesting topics lately.

[Anonymous]

Oh yeah!!! In three days my post numbers have upped by 50!!! I am the DEFINITION of obsessed!!!

[BMRR]

Yes I am, I get on the forum at work and at home.

Stan.

[AggroJones]

I'm always anxious to see what's gonna happen next.

That was a very nice thing to say simon1966. I know I speak for the others by saying that it's great to have a member like you aboard...
