Default Addiction? Why would you say I have an addiction?

That is just totally wrong! Why would anyone think I am "addicted" to SCS? I know I'm on here alot. Well, like several times a day.... but that's not that much. I know I spend hours on here each time I log on, but that's not my fault. It's all the cool people on SCS that lure me in. So I wouldn't exactly call it an addiction. Anyhow, isn't an addiction usually something you can't stop doing? Well..... I could stop...... no really..... I could. If I wanted to I could stop. It's just now a problem, so why would I need to stop. Ok, sure, my laptop goes with me to the living room and I browse SCS while I watch tv, movies or when the kids are watching cartoons. But I still don't see how you could call it an addiction. Watch. I really can stop. I'll stop right now.

Ok, well, I'll stop tomorrow. There's some kind of guessing challenge going on tomorrow. I think it's called a goodie bag contest. So I have to wait until tomorrow to stop. I did say I would join in.

Yeah Angie, and tonight when my DH had the audacity to have the internet connected to his laptop and I was finished "reteaching my son his fifth grade Math and doing the 3 pages of problems with him" I was so stressed out! I didn't really need a fix but because I couldn't log on I went to Michael's and looked in case there was something that I could use my 40% coupon on that I needed for more SCS things I had seen. And now it is after midnight and my DH went to bed and said, "It was so nice relating to you tonight" (sarcastically) before he left...but I had to figure out this contest thing and then there was this other gal who needed ideas quick, and I know I won't be on here at least until I get the kids off to school...and then I will be connected ALL DAY, unless I drag myself out to do more Christmas shopping but I have NO idea what I want to buy....and we didn't really need Christmas cookies this year...why you could just be addicted to those!

I have another board that I've visited for several years, and I've often felt like I should just walk away and never go back!! :shock: I was doing pretty good until Stampin' Discuss went down and I found SCS!! :oops: AAHHH!!! There should be a support group for addicted stampers who can't stop checking their favorite stamping board dozens of times a day!!
Both of you made me laugh out loud for real!! Thanks for that! :lol:

I've only been here a week and I can't seem to get enough of it! Plus, I seem to be on everytime my son is napping, which is what he's doing now! I should be finishing up his scrapbook to send to his Grandma. Christmas is less than 10 days away!

My husband tells me I am addicted, but I just get defensive and mad at him :twisted:. Maybe I am in denial. Is that a sign of an addict?

Oh well, at least we're all addicted together, and something positive actually comes out of it. :lol:

And, I keep thinking...when we go to Convention this year we should all wear an easily identifiable button...my name is laurelwright. I am an addict. That way we can meet in person and provide "support" for each other.

That's a good idea. I guess I have to admit it.

I'm an adict.

I guess if you are going to be addicted to something then this is the thing.
Hey, I hope I didn't miss the contest. Better go check it out!

Definition of addiction: The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or or involved in something.

Ok, I'm an addict to stamping and SCS.

This addiction is heathly. It may not be healthy on the checkbook, but it keeps me calm and happy. :lol:

Chai Nog? Now that's something different.

Ok, yes, it keeps me happy and calm so in that aspect it is a good addiction. But on my wallet.......oh.......lets not go there.

I have not went to convention ever yet. But I agree.... we all need to come up a nametag to wear that signifies us. Like Laurel said, have our member name on it "Hi, I'm Angie Humphrey and I'm a SCS addict!"

Yeah, mine is just fine. But I don't really think I'd want to go somewhere with NiceRAK real big on my chest. That would be kind of fun though, wouldn't it?
