Are you here too often??? (too)

After 'checking in' to this forum for the fourth time already today,
for no particular reason,
It crossed my mind that just maybe I have aquired a semi-adiction like relationship here.

I 'check in' when I get home, I now check in from Uni- with the fabulous wireless networks that cover the campus, I check in late at night- I mean very late when I should be in bed because most likely I have a big day of work or Uni ahead of me, and, when I get up after this late night check in, usually early, I will most probably make the time to check in again.
While my university work suffers, not only from the consideraqble time that I am putting in to restoring my boat, I find the time to invest serious efforts and mental endurance into reading/answering/debating issues (efforts found seriously lacking in my recent essays and presentations).
Now I am not particularly saying this is a bad thing,
and considering that there are a fare few people that seem to have practically become part of the furniture here (Welly I not just talking about you!), the furniture and structure of this place that makes it so, ooh 'homely', I wonder what other pople, those heavy 'users' out there, think of this proposition.

Do you have a boatdesign.net addiction too?

You drink too much coffee

It is too much infomation related to boat can be found and need alot of free time( sleeping time) to read those entry. Once you read the past post new entry on current post keep filling in, and you found out you havent try th picture gallery. Phew.......... I am addicted too. That why it made me decieded to enroll to boat design, so I can better digest the escaletionof data.

A friend stopped in a local pub, and when he recognized me said "You must be an alcoholic -- every time I come in here I see you" ...

It's not really an addiction

I can stop any time I want to. I just don't want to.

Some of us would be dissapointed if your boat restoration suffered because of your class schedule.

Thanks Gonzo,
Maybe I should print this out, fold it up, put it in my sirt top pocket- a uniform of course, grab my brown paper bag with sandwich and bannana, onto the school bus, and hand it to my 'teacher' before 'little lunch'.
"soory misss, gonzo said I din't have to do my 5,000 word report- look here"
"Oh and he also said that I won't be back for the next three months- something about a total refit, new cabin, removing the mast, a new rigging, and the hell with painting- we'll bring it all back to laquered golden woodwork- topsides too!"

Somehow I just don't think that they will understand.
Oh well, whats the point of working your ass of for years to get a good average, and a post-grad scholarship, if you can't borrow from the capital a little...

Don't worry, the boat restoration won't suffer,
and most probably,
neither will my boatdesign.net addiction.
Hans.

Addicted ? No not me !!!

Sorry guys, the wife said that I'm grounded, so I cannot come out and play.

She said something about 12 steps too.

Any room for just one more piece of furniture in here ?????
