I was thinking about how addicted all of us are to Pet Talk. This weekend was very painful for many of us........no Pet Talk for hours.

Maybe we should start PET TALKERS ANONYMOUS!

There would only be ONE problem........who on this board could keep it ANONYMOUS???

"Hello, my name is Scott and I am addicted to Pet Talk."

[slick]

Hello, my name is Slick and I started my addiction to PT about 4 months ago. At first it was just an interest. I would check on PT in the morning then in the evening before going home. It has progressed to the point that I have PT open all the time and I can multi-task. I can provide help to a remote user on the telephone and reply to a thread all at the same time. I eat and sleep PT. Would like to participate in a 12-step program but don't know where to start. Also I'm questioning, am I ready for it. Do I really want to?

Exactly what I was thinking!!!

I LOVE Pet Talk...all my friends and family think I'm strange. "How can you talk online about animals for so long?? " I say, they're just jealous!!!

I was thinking that if you have a dog.........twelve steps just aren't enough. Dogs need waaaayyy more than that. But, I see that you have kitties.

Also, I would like to assure all of you that this is all in fun.
I have the highest respect for all of the addiction programs and would never intentionally poke fun at any of them.............

Now....back to my addiction!

Hi! I'm Donna and I'm a Pet Talk addict and proud of it

I've had certain family members (SIL) tell me that I spend way too much time in front of the computer when I should be looking for a job. If it weren't for all the friends I've made at this site, I'd be a very lonely person. Personally I think she's jealous because she's computer iliterate.

I have friends telling me the same - and even John thinks it can be a bit too much sometimes. LOL!

Well, I have PT open from around midday and until bedtime, I just HAVE to check in between other things. LOL! So yes, I'm addicted!

I usually only spend the morning hours before work on Pet Talk.

Oh, and then I come home in the afternoon, and more Pet Talk.

And maybe I'll check on Pet Talk a little in the evening.

Hi, my name is Rosemary and I am also addicted to PT! It seems like it starts out with only logging on every couple of days and eventually PT is open on your computer all day! I don't see it being a problem. I love PT and I'm proud to say I am addicted!
