I have been having those same thoughts. But, then, this board helps me maintain sanity. If I turn on the TV, the news is all depressing, and here, there is positive good news.
So, I consider this "economical psychotherapy". What is a few hours a day reading posts on the board, and viewing beautiful pictures, as opposed to turning into a big black, glowering mushroom???
Sometimes, we just need a jolt of inspiration, and reading posts and looking at pictures keeps me on the right track.

I am NOT addicted. They say the first step towards overcoming an addiction is admitting you have a problem. Since I don't want to stop, I am not going to admit there is a problem. :D

Me too! You are all friends and I love seeing what everyone is doing and saying or funny stories to share. I also check the MB several times a day. I know somone who would tell me to 'get a life' but this board is part of my life. Hugs everyone.

And I thought it was just me :mrgreen: I get up in the morning and sit down to the computer with my coffee to read. Next thing I know it's time to start supper :roll: :roll: But at least I KNOW I have a problem. Trouble is, real life is passing me by while I read the computer :hunf: Housework...who has time for that!

We need a rehab center where we can all meet up. Oh, yeah, we do that already, except we call it a quilt retreat!

trupeach1 I am there with you. Supposed to be cleaning and getting ready for tomorrow and here I sit. I have to say that I am usually only on here in the mornings to catch up and for the occasional nicotine break throughout the day. I am truly addicted and I know I could get about 30 more quilts done a year if I would quit letting you all convince me I needed to start a new one, LOL. All those pictures and never enough time to make all those quilts.

I love to read and see all the pictures. I told my husband the other day I needed to get off and do something productive. Well, two hours later and all subjects checked...I had done something productive LOL. I do feel I spend to much time reading and looking, but I'm retired and my time is mine. Keep posting...I'm reading.
