Since all of us say how addicting CC is, I wanted to know about how long each of you spend on here. I'll start.

I probably spend about 3-5 hours a day on here, if not more.

Sometimes I say to myself that I'm just going to go on to check on the threads I've replied to and then that ends up taking a good chunk of my morning!

Well I have an easy job, so I would say I spend 4 hours of my work day here, and then I go home and spend anohter hour or 2 here. HHmmmm do I need a support group or what? icon_lol.gif

Oh wait a minute......this is my support group!

(standing holding a lighter) Hi my name is Randa and I am a CC addict. I have been on CC for about 3 weeks now.

I spend almost the whole day on here. My job is boring and doesn't have much activity so I check all day long!!! I then go home (2 miles away) and the first thing I do is turn on my computer and make sure I haven't missed any more posts!!!

I might need that support group next!!

I haven't timed myself. I do it for a bit, get up, clean up, take care of the baby, and then check back and see what topics and pics are up...

Hhmn, did you say you think it is time for a convention, I think they are trying to plan one....Heehee! You know, for the people that have this addiction problem - I do so worry about them you know. Only reason I am on the site is to check just how much of a problem they have. It is a dirty job, but someone has to do it, right?

Hhmn, well you know, I didn't want to say anything, but since you brought it up, you and Lisa are just so hard to keep an eye on and it is so much work for me monitoring the monitors that really have, shall we say, out-of-control addictions. But you know, someone has to be a martyr here and left to your own devices, well, it could only get worse...So, just call me "Squirrelly Martyr"!

I'm pretty new to the site ..but definitely classify for the "addict" lable... I work from home from 9:00 to 2:00 the whole time between calls or while I'm on the phone with a client or on hold .. I'm checking ..and looking ... and checking some more ... the other day I had a hectic day and before I went to bed I thought to myself ..oh! I forgot to check cake central icon_redface.gif

I also forgot to mention the other night I baked 48 soccer cupcakes for my daughter's team and stayed up until 3:30 in the morning ... for me that is huge ... I would read about people staying up all night decorating and would think .. they are NUTS!!! I would never do that!!!.... but I did and now I'm one of the NUTS icon_cry.gif ..... the good news is I'm not alone...lol icon_lol.gif

I don't even log off icon_cry.gif I do about 5 hrs. a day and then about 3 hrs at night.

Even when I'm doing a cake, I have to stop to come and check to see what is going on every few mins. In my head I'm saying to myself that I should be in the kitchen working on that cake but I just don't want to leave CC icon_cry.gif

I check the last upload gallery 3 to 4 times a day so not to miss a new cake. Rarely miss a day and I'm in for 2 to 3 hours a night, fast 7a.m. check before shower and work, and fast lunch hour check.
Here's the best part, I was fussing at my DH for watching to much TV (sport fanatic) cause I wanted help with cooking or cleaning, his reply, "Well you look at cakes for 3 hours a night, why don't you turn that da## thing off and come to bed with me." icon_redface.gificon_redface.gif and touche`. So now I try to look when he's not around, if I hear him coming I click out to Quicken so I look like I'm doing the bills icon_lol.gif Oh yes!, that's a sure sign of addiction.
Here's my last sure sign! I barrowed DH cell phone, cause mine was dead when I went to DD game last week. His phone is Blackberry (I call it Crackberry, cause he's addicted to it icon_rolleyes.gif ) So there I was at the ball game on the bleachers surfing CC icon_lol.gif . Oh, like I have room to fuss about his sports or crackberry. So yes, I'm addicted, but look- I don't drink, look at porn, cheat, pick my nose, or do drugs (I do smoke thumbsdown.gif but going to quit again for new years, 10 years runningI've quit for new years
. It's going to work one of these years.) so if looking at CC is as bad as it gets, then who cares, I'm behavin so let me be!
Happy New Years All!
Shelly
