I think that I`m becoming addicted to Aeclectic. I`ve just been camping for a week in Wales and although we had a lovely time I was really looking forward to switching on my PC and checking out the posts on Aeclectic as soon as I got home. Do you think that this is bad? Help! Crystalmynx xx

Yes, I too am a Aeclectic addict! I went out of town Friday night as was computer free until this morning and what was the first thing I did think morning upon finishing waking up and getting dressed? Log into the forum, of course. :)

I must say that this is the only forum I have become addicted to in my entire life... And now I can't even step into another forum without feeling like a traitor to Aeclectic! ;) The good thing is though, this addictton is cheper than chocolate, more informative than TV, and safer than drugs. Oh, and DEFINITELY cheaper than Tarot decks! Enjoy your addiction CrystalMnx! Kiama

Well, I have had my experiences in this. Especially lately, have had to say goodbye so often... I have suffered so many times withdrawal... And I try to be so righteous! *LOL* I especially agree with Kiama, and Diana. Maybe I could work on AT Addiction for my thesys... ;)

Oh dear, I'm gonna be away next month... If I save a lot and don't buy anymore decks (huh ? what am I saying ?) I could some time buy a laptop and never have to leave Aeclectic... or I could work really hard and buy decks AND a laptop, but I would not have any time left to enjoy either...unless I quit sleeping...no option either, my nearest and dearest have threatened to force-feed me sleeping pills if I try to do that as I become impossible if I don't get sleep (and I know they're right) *sigh* life is full of difficult choices.

It`s very good to know that I`m not alone, somehow I knew I wasn`t. Crystalmynx xx

Well . . . I'm not yet, but I'm sure I will be. I'm already addicted to three other boards. :( Woe is me . . . Hello, my name is Holly, and I'm a message board/chat addict. ;)

I am not sure I am addicted, but I do feel a sense of belonging here. This is the second forum I have tried, and I didn't like the first one. Computers are my life tho. That is why I am going to become a Graphic Designer :) They never give you crap, and if they do, you can turn them off and walk away... Unlike people.... Sometimes you still have to put up with closed minded up tight people!

Bella	18 Aug 2002
I look at it this way... I never like coming home from vacation--but getting back to my computer and Aeclectic is the one thing I look forward to!

Rain	21 Aug 2002
Of coarse it's not bad! Look at all the wonderful people here!

I'm shocked at all the addicts that seem to be hiding among my fellow aeclecticians. It's such a sad thing to see... normally sensible people addicted to the glowing screen, the violet and blue colors, the crisp feel of the keys as they click away... sending their messages into the maze of the internet. I simply can't believe that so many suffer from this addiction... I'm stronger than that... I've transended the emotional cravings of the mind and ascended to a much higher plain... giving advice and comfort to those less fortunate. why I'm only averaging a little more than 9.25 posts per day... and of course I could walk away anytime... anytime at all... really

Oh come on.....i need it now....please........i HAVE TO HAVE MY FIX NOW.............Hurry!!!.........Ahhhh that's better...........(computer screen now on)......come on, come on already!!!........(downloading)....Ahhh thank goodness.......i was getting a little shakey here............phew!! Yes Yes (Aeclectic Tarot Forum lights up the screen).......I'm in!! :):):):):) I don't know what is wrong with you people, but I certainly do NOT have an addiction. Cheers Kazz :TQC

I`d just like to say that YOU`RE ALL MAD........... Crystalmynx xx

catlin	21 Aug 2002
Ok, each morning I come to the office, anxiously switching on the computer and hoping a.net is there. I am still suffering from the aftershock of the great a.net crash a year ago. No, I am not addicted (at least I pretend to say so) ;) ;)

Gerbear	21 Aug 2002
Addiction is such a harsh word...perhaps terminally focused might go down better !

starr	22 Aug 2002
Mix it up, as long as kyou et and sleep now and then and hug a friend, nothing wrong with this forum, a benign addiction. Starr

Maan	22 Aug 2002
I'm an addict!!! I'm sure The last few day's i working on an internet connection at my dorm and i was sooooo frustrated and the only reason was because i could not visit aeclectic!:( yesterday i finally managed to build in a internet card and now my windows 95 won't get me internet...and guess who forgot to bring the instellation disk of 95...........

Rhiannon	22 Aug 2002
There is no cure, it's like crack... heroin... only there is no methadone for aeclectic. And no nasty after-effects either... well, maybe a little shakiness, or eye twitching, but that's all, really. Maybe feeling like there's a deep hole in your gut when you can't log on... but really, beyond that... no problem.... R :)

Yogi Cat	22 Aug 2002
Yes it is so easy to get addicted to. As soon as I get up in the morning I turn the computer on and check out the forum - again at lunchtime and then in the evening. Very rare for me to miss doing this. When my computer was getting fixed for a couple of days I really felt deprived.

mooncat2	23 Aug 2002
I can't help it - its not my fault. Everyone knows Pisceans have addictive personalities.

Angeline	23 Aug 2002
WHO ME??????? I do not spend hours pouring over all the lovely decks put there!!
