Anybody else find these boards addictive??!!

[Mars PA]

Does anybody else find themselves reading these DISboards for hours at a time? I have other things I need to do (laundry, pay some bills, clean, shop), but always end up spending more time reading these than I intend to. Some make me laugh, others I learn from, and over all -- I just can't wait to get back to Disney World!!! I know there is much more to life than Disney, but it is just so wonderful a place to go!

ahh...yeah!

Yeah, my wife yelled at me just yesterday for spending too much time reading here.

Yes! My husband is constantly telling me to "unplug." We had our first trip in June and aren't planning on returning until June, 2008. I am definitely addicted to everything related to WDW now, including DIS. I'm a teacher on summer break, I don't know what I'm going to do when school starts in two weeks, and I can't spend hours at my leisure browsing the boards.

I am a bad bad girl as well!!! While at work I leave the window open and "refresh" every hour!! Then I get home and it is my homepage!! Talk about addicted!! I am planning my wedding for March, so I am always full of questions for "post-princess brides"!

Well, my post counter can tell you lots.......

I only get addicted when I'm in the midst of planning a trip - before and after. Then I lose track for awhile when the "real" world takes over for again. Since we only go to WDW every couple of years it's no so bad. But since I started planning this next trip a week ago........I've been on the boards non stop.

But my DH can't complain. He belongs to at least three basketball boards and moderates one or more. When I can't find him or he doesn't respond...I know he's down at his desk in the basement glued to the screen.

When we had a newborn in '99 or when I broke my foot last fall and was in a wheel chair for 4 months.....I'd have to page him to get him upstairs. That's pathetic.

So there are worse things than the DIS boards.

Laurajean1014 - is that some kind of record?

Hi everybody!

Addictive? Well, I suppose I could stay off, but I don't!

I'm so with you! I have to come here everyday to get my WDW fix. Luckily we're leaving tomorrow for the real thing!

My husband just said to me tonight, that I was addicted to my computer. It's not the computer, it's the dis. I told him, no more than he is the remote.

 

[Ms.Mouse]

Oh, yeah. My family is always saying "Can you get off that computer to give _ _ _ _ _ (grandson, 4 ys old) a chance to play his games???"

 

[momrek06]

My DH said to me..."What are you doing on that Disney site 24/7"...I said "Talking to all MY friends"...I then informed DH... "it is either the DIS Boards or SHOPPING ONLINE 24/7"...DH..."Talk away, dear, talk away to all your friends!!!!

Am beginning to think I need some sort of 12 step program or something- this forum has taken over my days and sometimes most of the night. An hour here and another there and the laundry is still not done- Will try to cut back a little at a time and if that doesn't work will be away from it cold turkey in Sept- to you know where --- just glad to know I am not alone

CUT BACK..how dare you..you tell everyone in the house they have to cut back...starting tomorrow everyone wears exactly what they had on today again tomorrow and again possibly on Sunday...(There your laundry problems all solved)...I love the DIS so many good ideas constantly!

I love these boards. It is not just about Disney. Most people are positive. Offering help of all sorts such as driving directions, coupons, personal experience, tips relating to all kinds of topics and sometimes a shoulder when needed. It is a great place to hang out.

I agree, and I noticed that we both have 14 days until a trip!

I agree, since I found these boards I have been on here almost everyday (with the exception of when we had storms and lost power for 10days! It was HORRIBLE!! ) I get lots of great information and some laughs. DH thinks I have totally lost my mind But he is thankful when I know the answers to his questions and other tid bits that help with planning and may even save some $$!

As for the laundry situation ... the computer is on the same floor as the laundry room, so it works out for me ... I get it all separated, and I can hear when the washer stops ... I think I get it done faster when I stay on here and do it rather than doing other things.

I agree with the addiction! I'm a teacher and during my lunch break I love to escape to Disney World for awhile before the little ones come back!
We just bought at SSR so know I have more forums to read!!!
