Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
1. You have burned your bagel in the toaster consistantly for the last 6 months.
2. You are going on a nice leisurely drive with your DH and he makes a comment about the winding road following the river and the first thing you think of is Crooked River's SCS name.
3. You walk into Home Depot to pick up a new furnace filter with your hubby and walk by the landscaping lattice and immediately are reminded of the backdrop (wooden wine rack) where Toy photographs her cards!
4. You get 36 inches of snow in the last 2 weeks and the whole time it is snowing you are thinking about Kittie and her awesome snow cards....
you can't start your day without "checking in" to see what is happening...what has been posted...what the days challenge is...kind of like an online cup of coffee! ;)
It is hrs. past bedtime and you're still reading one more post.
Or when...
You need to go potty, but instead you wait to type out a reply (or two, or three)... and you end up doing the potty dance as you hit the 'send' button.
When DH comes home and he sees the back light on (the only light on in the house) coming from the computer room....he knows where I have been
When DH again comes home and you try quickly to shut the light off and casually walk downstairs, looking intensely interested in something that seems to be on your floor.
You know you are addicted to this site, when you post a card and check back every 10 min. to see if 'anybody likes it'!!
You have millions of household cleaning projects to do and they are on the backburner because you are on SCS.
When DH says 'are you coming to bed'? and you yell back, 'not just yet....I'm e-mailing my sister...when in fact you are perusing the gallery'.
When you ALWAYS go to the site first thing in the morning to check the daily challenges. And you have to pee really bad, but it just doesn't matter. You hold it in.
When you start to feel like the people on this site are friends (in a way, they are) who are now part of your life.
AND WHEN YOU SPEND MORE TIME ON THE SITE THAN STAMPING.

Well, if that is all it takes to be addicted......There is absolutely no doubt that I am udderly and hopelessly, without question, completely addicted!
.....when you come downstairs in the middle of the night to get some water, only to be sucked into SCS for the next 3 hours.
.....when your kids have not eaten for DAYS due to exccessive SCSing.
......when Dh walks in the door and you slam shut the laptop, jump up from the chair, and pretend to be fixing dinner while catching your breath.
.....when you are 6 months behind in your personal business paperwork (no, it's NOT ME!!! LOL)
---okay, that's all I can think of now.....hummmm.....well, I'm glad that none of US are addicted to SCS---

OMG, this happened to me last night and I was laughing at myself and shaking my head all the way to the bathroom. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who can't tear herself away from this website, even when nature calls loud and clear! That's too funny.
Sadly, these are all too true in my house! Especially the one when my DH says, "on the computer again, are we?" Um, yeah!! I've got to check first thing...even before breakfast - and for me, that is HUGE! Love checking out what everyone is chit chatting about, new ways to use my new 'bug, and how my soap is going. What would a day be like without SCS - one I don't want to endure!! ;0)

I have no idea what you people are talking about and I don't want to know. I don't have a SCS addiction problem. I am never on here!
I am sorry to see that you are in complete denial...We are here to help you when you get to the point that you can admit your addiction and need our help! In the meantime, our thoughts are with you. LOL! :-D
Happy Stamping or do you ever get any time to stamp?

I like denial. It's a good state of mind!

How about on that nice leisurely drive you ARE ON SCS! lol! My hubby got a new internet phone so whenever we're in the car I'm on SCS on my laptop. He laughs at me EVERY time!

You are sitting here laughing so hard it hurts because EVERYTHING you just read is soooo true!!!
You are sneaking around at night trying to get that last card done and uploaded, trying not to make the floor boards squeek, and then you realize your husbands alarm will be going off in 10 minutes and you have to pretend like you just got up early!!!
You have to try really hard not to talk about all your *invisible friends* because your DH is beginning to wonder about you!!!
Great thread, Cindy!!! (Like we all need another thread to read -- LOL!!!)

Yeah, I know, another thread to read from top to bottom! YIKES! I have been coming back to check this thread and giggle at the resonses all afternoon. I should be doing something like maybe fixing dinner, doing laundry, or maybe cleaning the bathrooms! Or I could stay on here and talk about doing all those things!

I tried to post a reply earlier but kept getting kicked off! Do you think SCS has a time limit on me now?!?!? HA! HA! Seriously, this is a great thread, Cindy. I laughed reading through these posts realizing how true they all are for me. Here's a couple I haven't read yet:
You know you're addicted to SCS when:
Your husband buys you a wireless laptop for Christmas so you can at least be in the same room as he is occasionally while he's watching a movie and you're working furiously on the laptop checking everything out on SCS!
Your husband buys you a wireless laptop for Christmas so you an take it on vacation with you because you have told him that you will go into serious SCS deprivation if you don't have any access for the entire vacation and you're seriously considering not going on vacation!
Your husband buys you a wireless laptop for Christmas because he's tired of having to sign up for his time at the computer because you're always on it!
Dito also to everything. It's 8 P.M. We have not eaten yet because I just have to type one more thing and then read and then type again. My eyes are crossing and my DH is hungry. Maybe we could do an intervention. Na!
The kids are screaming and crying because one took a toy form another, hit/slapped the other, fell down on his/her face and you don't hear a thing.

You live & breath SCS. You're really tired from working all day but can't lay down without checking out what you missed. You trade *favors* with DH so he'll stop complaining about how much time you spend on here :rolleyes: :mrgreen: :-D
you tell your husband to go run dd's bath while you are just checking in quick then when an hour and half later he still finds you sitting here,bath cold and dd passed out on the floor, still covered in spaghetti.
