Cute........ but Very True!!

Hi, My name is Fran White, and I'm addicted to the internet also.

Welcome to my world.  The PC gets turned on before I even have both eyes open in the morning

Monika, I too am addicted to the Internet. You need to get you one of those wireless cards, just in case. 

A day without Internet is barely worth getting out of bed for.

My name is Lenn Harley and I am addicted to the Internet.

I've been addicted to the Internet since December 1994 when I got my first DOS Internet connection, that ugly black screen with the white text scrolling down with a Veronica (Very Easy Rodent Oriented Net-wide Index to Computerized Archives) access.  Pathetic.  No matter, I was hooked on my realization that I was connected to THE WORLD.  I was the only person I knew who even knew what the Intenet was.   

Today, if my DSL or Dish back-up and dial-up  or wireless access are all out, I do what every American woman does, I shop. 

Yes, I'm addicted.  Welcome to the world. 

Monika,  OK, Is confession time. I get it. Hi, I'm Jerry and I've been addicted for almost 10 years and it gets worse by the day. lol;)

Monika I think there is a 12 step program for your issues, I would skip it an live with the addiction if I were you  Steve

So true!!  Like Lenn, I've had an internet connection since about 1994 as well.  An old 2400 speed dial-up modem connected me to basic text...no graphics back then!  I was the only person I knew who had internet at home, and I've never given it up. 

As far as the 12-step Steve mentioned...what's the web address??  LOL

My name is Kim, and I, too, am addicted to the Internet...(and in very good company!!)

Monika I certainly know what you mean :) I am a lost soul myself without the computer.

LOL Now you know how I felt when I had to do 3 (eternity)days without the Internet while camping! It's a horrible feeling!! I'm glad you're back up and running.

LOL...I knew I was in good company!

A 12 step program? I don't think I would qualify ...I don't want to quit!

I've been connected for so long that I just take it for granted...yesterday totally freaked me out! 

Thanks for commenting fellow addicts! 

Moni - Thanks for my first laugh of the day.  I didn't read the title, I just started reading the blog so I cracked up at the end.  I too am an addict and I guess that admitting it is the first step.  Forget the other 11 because I don't give a damn if I am an addict, I'm keeping it that way!

LOL... as you can see Amie you are in some fine company! Enjoy your addiction :)

(Shhhhhhh, I think I'm in the same boat Monika)

Hello Monika.  My name is Bill Somerset, and I too share your addiction to the Internet!   JK   It's amazing how we have geared ours lives around this isn't it!

Shhhhhhh I won't tell anyone Jason!

Bill...You are absolutly right! I was going through withdrawals last night!  

Linda...I try and camp where I can be connected...of course I'm probably a fair weather camper. 

Bill...I'm with you there...I was lost! 

Kim...I've been connected since the early 90's....seems like forever! I really went nuts last night without it. 

LOL Steve...no way on a 12 step program for me :) 

Jerry...You gotta love it! 

Lenn...My 1st was a little Apple2C ...I loved that computer...thought it was the nuts! We've come a long way since then!

Bryant...That is on my wish list BUT I pay so much to be connected that I have resisted an other 59.00 per month. Maybe if I get rid of my Treo????

Nancy...It is the first thing I do when I get up and the last thing I do before I go to bed. 

Fran...We're all members of the same club!  LOL!

Very funny...!  I know just how you felt.  That happened to me a few weeks ago, and I thought I wasn't going to survive!  :)

Monika, I'm addicted as well.  In fact, when I was having trouble with my DSL, I went to my cell and started using that. 

The internet is my best friend too.  But my husband gets even madder if anything happens to his TV.

This is too funny, but, I, too, am as addicted as everyone else. 

My name is Ann Cummings and I'm addicted to being totally connected.  I've been online since 1994, and even dial-up is better than no connection.

Shhhhhh, we can't tell anyone, just like Jason asked.....

Ann

My name is Joan Mirantz and I too am addicted. I have callouses on my knees from my laptop!

addictions, addictions, addictions - everywhere we see addictions. I think it will take more than a 12 step program for this type. It seems no one is ready to give it up:) lol

You know you are an addict when - 1. you dream of blogging

2.

2. You wake up and before you go pee ...you check your Blog! LOL Judy.

Debi...See you survived!   

Marc...My cell is so slow...I use it to connect when I'm at the beach! Better than nothing. 

Barbara...my husband is as addicted as I am...we're a lost cause. 

Ann.... Shhhhhh, I won't tell anyone! 

Joan..LOL Callouses on your knees....too funny!

"callouses on knees"??????  Hmm..........   we definitely shouldn't tell anyone about THAT.

Ann

I did have to chuckle.  Most ActiveRainers can probably relate to the feeling!

Ann...get your mind back where it belongs!!LOL

Monika,

I think we all need to go to the same 12-step meeting, IA: Internet Anonymous.  Our personal & personal lives have become intertwined with the Internet.  First thing in the morning for me is have my cup of tea & read my email.  My name is Harold, and I have an Internet addiction.

Monika I know what you mean, if I can not check my e-mail as well as get on to ActiveRain to check things I feel like something is missing and the whole day just feels strange.

Joan - waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!

A day without the internet is like a day without sunshine!!!  I don't think my hubby would survive!!

LOL... we're both addicted. At least we can fight our addiction together.

Hilarious... Hello, All.  My name is Jesse and I'm addicted to the 'net.  Whew.  Do we have, like, sponsors and such? :)

It cracks Kathy up for me to be sitting in the den with her watching tv and blogging or commenting away.  The trade off is she has the remote!  That's fair, right?

Margaret...Yes we all can relate!

Joan...My mind was right where Ann's was! LOL 

Harold...LOL a 12-step meeting, IA: Internet Anonymous.  I love it!

George...I was starting get the DT's LOL 

Tracy...I did not think I would survive! Thank god it was only for one day! 

Jay...Togetherness sounds good. 

Jesse...Sponsors?...my goodness there would not be enough of them to go around!  Jay and I both have laptops and sit in the living room at night with them on our laps. The remote? It's  no longer fought over in our house. :)

Oh Monika thats sooo funny!  I sort of new I had an addictive personality..........so I've stayed away from casinos, buying lottery tickets........smoking, drinking............you name it....but my computer? I might as well be attached by an umbilical cord.........I hyperventilate if by internet is down.......curse kick and pound the keys - then finally go home and use my computer at home (See i do mine in reverse!) :-))

Liz...LOL "Hyperventilate when the internet is down"...so do I!!  Thankfully I can go to office if I need to but doing that really stinks. LOL... what an addiction we have!
