Additcetd to the Forum ?

[spotz]

How about it? According to my wife, I spend a lot more time here talking to you all than I do to her! I am sure that she is right. I think that this addiction is second only to actual detecting. Problem for me is that I have a lot more oportunity to yak on here than I have to get out detecting. I suppose that better weather will change that a lot for most of us. I am excited about being retired in the next few weeks, but I doubt that it will keep me off of here. I've only been active on here since Jan 16th, but I miss my FORUM FIX if I don't get on here at least once a day or evening.I feel like we all have a real kinship going on here, With the busy life styles of America today I find that this is my SOCIAL TIME, & I am an anti social kind of guy.
How say you all? Spotz

I'm here almost all day right now with the weather. Only leave long enough to get a little exercise walking for a Coffee or Meal & back. I'm answering Posts here In my dreams lately ?

Spotz, I'm in the same boat your in. I'm supposed to be working on my house, painting the kitchen, but this forum is top priority right now. I think (I know) I've put on a few pounds sitting here every night. I thought you were supposed to lose weight metal detecting....like the commercial...not put it on.

 

[stoney56]

Have to get on at least once a day. Job keeps me busy 10hr./6 days. Try to get at least some chores done 1st.

 

[Carl in CO]

Yeaaaa, I spend way too much time on here.

 

[rgecy]

Its worse than my Gambling and Sex addition! I'm on here at least twice a day! I only get to have sex and gamble once a week!

So far I have logged 2 days/8 hours/49 minutes. Doesn't seem like that much, only 56 hours.

LOL!

Maybe you can invite your wife to join you on this forum and that way you can at least communicate "virtually"

 

[Shutterbug]

I check out the forum at least once a day to see what's been found. It makes me want to get out more when I see all the good stuff everyone else has been finding.

Couldn't have said it any better, Spots...
The way this boards taken off lately, if you miss a day, there's a lot of reading to do to catch back up...
Congrats on the retirement!!!

 

[Lowbatts]

[dave-enc]

I go thru binges. I will be on here in force for awhile then disappear until i need my fix again. I dont think i'm as bad with the message boards as i used to be. When i first discovered M-boards about five years ago i ended up being a moderator on 7 different boards and an administrator on three of my own. Therapy has made me much better now

Yep! It's an OFFICIAL ADDICTION NOW! I find myself in the den on the computer two or three time a day now. My wife commented last night that it's a good thing we have two computer stations in here. She likes complicated mind games, so she comes in here in the late evening & plays while I am on the Forum. She said just last night that at least we're in the same room at the same time. I point out interesting posts & pix to her. She gets a kick out of them.

Hey! The sun is out today. It's 14 degrees right now but it will be nice in two or three hours so I hope to get out for a while. Keep it comin! Interesting responses. Spotz

 

[slow sweeper]

I've been told by everyone around me that I spend too much time here. Not a detectorist among them. Go figure.

 

[stoney56]

It's not the hobby. It's all the accessories and batteries I need. More batteries-more batteries. Bigger coil, smaller coil, better headphones, more books, more magazines. When will it end?

I'm retired and when I'm not out trying out things I learn here I'm tuning in to see if I can learn even more. I really enjoy seeing and hearing about your finds and it keeps me excited about my outings. I always expect to find a gold twenty under the next plug I dig up! I also like to do research of various sites and I pick up good info as to how to go about finding out facts and details to help make my search more successful. Also there seems to be a very fine bunch of people on the forum and I enjoy the company.

Hey Jimmileo! It was a beautiful day here but other things got in my way today. Dratt! I was on here this morning & my system went into malfunction. DSL modem went haywire right in the middle of a post. Caused a panic on my part, but called my ISP tech & got it fixed. Whew! Can't get along with out my fix here. Nice to hear that I won't be the only retiree out there( if this stupid deal ever closes.) Tomorrow is another day & maybe I'll get out for a while. Just to many fix it things today. Good hunting!
