Poll question: On A Scale Of One To Ten, Just How Bad Is Your Freaking DU Addiction?
Say ten is very addicted indeed.

How bad are you?

I am ready to dance myself...

2. Like I mentioned in another thread,
I really need to spend some time at cnet.com educating myself on digital cameras, but for some reason my mouse always clicks on Latest & Greatest & then I'm here for hours.

4. I'm not an addict, baby, that's a lie.
It's not a habit. It's cool. I feel alive.

5. Before the "Election" (gag) it was way over 10
I've got it down to about an 8, now.

5 or 6 times a day, sometimes for hours.

7. I'm a 7
When my day at work hits a lull, here I am. And I HAVE to check in at least once during the evening to see if there's anything new since I left work. But as soon as I think hubby's feeling neglected, I sign off!!! Honest, I do! Most of the time.

14. Total DU junkie...
...while at work, I check GD and Greatest constantly to see what's new. As soon as the computer boots up in the morning, DU is the first thing I look at.

I'm in bad shape.

24. Ditto. But I don't think it is necessarily a BAD thing. DU IS GREAT!
We've been kept IGNORANT for far too long by the corporate owned media. Time to wake up, smell the coffee, educate ourselves and everyone else we come in contact with.

Where would we BE if there were NO DU??

16. It's all good
I don't think I have a problem. Just because when a dupe topic comes up in LBN and I know it's a dupe from last night immediately, that doesn't mean I have a problem, right?

20. Bad enough that I've been known to go to the bathroom in a restaurant
just to look over threads via my Blackberry.

25. 10 But I can stop at any time
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 03:01 PM by Fescue4u
Really I can, I just don't want to.

Just because I spend 4 hours a day browsing doesnt mean Im addicted.

really. No Im serious, its under control. really.

seriously.

Why are you look at me that way ?

Look - just because I gave up crack to spend more time online at DU doesnt mean that Im addicted.



:)

28. I just went off since Monday afternoon, and I'm back. This DU addiction
is far worse than any drug I'ver ever had the pleasure or bad experience of meeting up with. I have until midnight.

30. 8 I go in spurts
Some weekends I literally spend as much as 10 or 12 hours on DU and liberal blogs and then I can go for a week without checking in. I am fine if I just read and don't post but the second I post I find I get stuck checking back all day long which leads to more posts then its all over for the whole weekend.
