TYROS 1 So Long Ago.........

Donny ... you need a hobby that gets you OUTTA THE HOUSE and off the pc!

I agree, Dave. When you have more than 33,000 on the same site, that's an addiction, not a hobby. I tried to get him to go sailing, but he says he gets seasick. Tried to get him down for the jam, and the jam was primarily his idea, and he booked a job. Donny, what ever happened to the metal detector that you used daily along the Jersey shore? Good exercise, can be rewarding, see lots of bikini clad young ladies, what a great hobby for someone that is listed as semi-retired. Get away from that damned PC.

Good luck old friend,

Gary

So Dave, maybe you and Fran could stage an intervention.

chas

hahaha Jealousy will get you no where....

Maybe no one has ever heard of a smart phone with
Internet capabilities? just sayin' s

That said not to get hijacked off topic T1 still sounds great...

So you're trying to tell us that you are walking the beach with a metal detector and your eyes glued to a smart phone - yeah! Right!

Gary

Gary,.......I'm never on the beach at all lately,....sorry,

but we all have our hobbies,..

Donny, I can clearly recall photos of you and that metal detector on the beach several years ago. Never say never, at least that's what Carol tells me.

PS: I have some seasick patches if you ever change your mind about going sailing.

I think there are at least three kinds of 'forum' addicts.

1. Readers: check in 10 times a day but rarely post or respond to a post.

2. Responders: those that feel compelled to respond to EVERY post - ego-driven need to maintain a high profile of the forum - strong need to 'be loved' (my opinion). Also because they feel they can explain or elaborate on your post better than you can (and usually come armed with the relevant videos).

3. Pot Stirrers: Random posts apparently generated for the sole purpose of having someone respond "Great post, Timmy" or "thanks for posting that". These usually show up when there's nothing around exciting to respond to.

The main thing is, all three are addicts and should probably spend more time pursuing hobbies or (better still) real-life relationships. For the record though, most of us (including myself) fall into one of these three categories, just some more than others. Age (and boredom) is certainly a factor, in that the older we get the more time we have to pitter away at the computer and the less time we spend traveling and visiting friends, playing sports, doing household chores, etc.

Still, it beats online gambling and checking out porn sites (maybe ). But step away from the computer, go for a walk, see what the grandkids are up too (try to seem interested ), learn a new tune or get 'in depth' with one of your toys. You'll be happier in the long run 'cause additions are usually BADDDDD. Just my thoughts on the subject.

I think I meant the above post for the 'FORUMHOLIC' post.
