Addicted to AR - Need therapy!

By
Real Estate Agent with JKA Properties (Meli G Realty & Investment Group)

I had no idea what it would be like without AR! OMG! I got a virus in my computer a couple of days ago and it was one I couldn't get rid of on my own so I had to take the computer to the shop! I have been driving the technicians crazy calling every hour to see if it is ready. I can't do my blogs, or comments or networking that I'm used to. I didn't think it would be that big of a deal - after all it was just gonna be a couple of days, but I'm going insane! I'm writing this blog on my son's computer. I had to bribe him so I can get my hands on it for just a little bit! I need help! I've become addicted to AR! Anybody knows if there is a group of AR Annonymus, kind of like the AA, that I can join in? (Hi,..., my name is Meli, and I'm an AR addict... )

Hello!Make reservations for two... I wake up and the first thing I do is to see if I have any comments and just before I go to bed I check again. The other night I woke up thirsty and turned on my laptop just to check and wrote a few comments since I was up! I need help also... Brenda :)

Brenda - I guess when I find the right place, I'll let you know. (and Ann too) I don't know what it is about it, but my kids are having a blast on my account! My son looks at me as he gets ready for bed (and I'm still at it) and shakes his head in disbelief! "Mom, go to bed! It's really late!" But Mom has other plans. If I went to bed without reading my messages, I wouldn't be able to sleep. What a mess!

Ann - Sorry to hear you suffer from the same problem! Maybe it's contagious! Is it possible it spreads thru the Internet like a virus? What is it called? the virus of AR madness? And now I've gotten greedy, the AR blog isn't enough any more! Now I want to have an outside blog, which takes more hours of my sleep, and I want to participate on all kinds of other @#$*. What happened to me? I was a well behaved kid?! LOL

Sorry Meli,

I'm no help.  I have 4 backup computers in case this one has to go to the shop!  :)

Funny! Dear, Not Yet Licensed, we have three desktops and three laptops in the house but my husband and my son would not release theirs and my second computer was being upgraded! This is what you call Very bad timing! Isn't it terrible how dependent we've become on the technology? What in the world would we do if we didn't have electricity at all? No e-mail, no text messaging, no cell phones... Ouch!

P.S. Dear, Not Licensed Yet - I had not noticed I'd had that many visitors, but thank you for pointing it out. I'm glad I have company, and at the same time, I see this is a wide spread problem. You think we can get a discount if we sign up for Group Therapy? :-)

Hey Meli,

Not sure if this will reduce, or increase, your AR addiction!  :)  One of my clients might have a referral for you.  She's also an e-PRO.  I'm leaving the office now but I'll email the details later tonight.

Cordially,

Bruce
