Does Anyone Else Think They May be Spending A Little Too Much Time On These Boards?

[bratray]

i love reading the disboards

even while at work i catch myself surfing the boards
but ..... i have begun to wonder if i am maybe spending
a little too much time on these boards i read them
at work in my spare time, when i get home from work & before i go to bed

i love planning for my WDW & UO trips but do you think
you can become obsessed with these boards????

i think sometimes i am wishing my life away for my vacations

what about you?

 

[Hillbeans]

Definitely. I'm going to have a week detox while i'm in Ocean City on the 28th. I need the time away as I find i'm on here a lot more than usual lately.

 

[Jasminesmommy]

YES. I am on these boards day and night. If I go out of town to Chicago I check someone elses computer. I need a life.

 

[kaylajr]

possibly
but that doesn't mean i will change anything
i love planning for my vacations
and i enjoy my DIS buddies

besides what else would i do
Housework ???? UGHHHH i shudder at the thought LOL

Yes, I guess it has pretty much been morning, noon and night for me!

Well, I have not been to WDW for 8 years (sob!), and I did not know too much about the resorts, restaurants, parks, etc. anyway, so I started reading the boards just for fun.

Now that my want to go to WDW has become a NEED to go to WDW, I also need to keep coming back to the boards (obsessively) for more trip pre-planning knowledge. I NEED TO KNOW MORE!!

My wish now is that the time will pass by quickly and my obsession to hit the boards to learn more will become an obsession to post my wealth of Disney World knowledge to others, after my trip in '05!

Listen, my very favorite bedtime story is a good trip report, lol!!

Yes I spend wayyyy to much time here. I find myself checking them when I get up in the morning and when I get home from work and when I am done in the evening, then when I am off I will wonder if I am missing something!

I know I do. When I went back to work yesterday for the beginning of a new school year I was feeling withdrawl symptons. I'm not into routine yet and I didn't have time to go on the Dis before work. I missed it. I ran to the computer when I got home.

I'd like to give a more detailed answer this but my eyes are so blurry from being here so late last night I can barely see to type and I've been late getting to work every day this week because I had to read the CB in the morning and once more and I'll probably get fired. . .

But my short answer is: no, haven't been spending too muc. . .zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.. .

Count me in the obsessed group! Even if I don't have time to respond, I give the first two pages a glance to make sure I haven't missed something! However, with the kids getting back to school next week, it'll cut into my DIS time, because I won't have the time between homework and evening activities to give the DIS the attention it truly deserves!!

No comment.

There are worse things you could be doing.

The way I see it, as long as I get done what I need to get done at work and around the house, and am not becomming a shut in who chooses DISboards over actual social outings, than it's fine.

So far I'm okay.

 

[minniepumpernickel]

Well yeah, so I've branched out and found some other boards too. Now I have about 100 messages to open from other places. I think I made my problem worse, lol!

 

[kimwim8]

I definitely have a major addiction! I actually have to hide it from DH!! He's tired of me saying I learned this on DIS, or I heard this on DIS! And he is a HUGE Disney fan!!!

It started out as a planning help site, but now I visit the community board more than anything!!!

 

[missypie]

I'm addicted.

 

[jrydberg]

I could quit anytime! I just don't want to!

I agree I do have a life outside these boards, it is just that I don't work so after my house work is done the day is mine, and I rather be DISing than watching tv.

I think the boards have become very popular. The boards are very popular in the afternoon, when everyone must be at their slump time, or their kids are taking naps. I always get the message "The server is busy". Grrrr

 

[mickeyboat]

I am totally addicted and no one understands. Is there a support group? A treatment facility?
