lol hi phinxter, please refrain from Jacking your cola 'n our presence.

Its funny cause Ive only been on here a couple day already and its fun. Just reading what others have to say, or responding to threads.

DannyKing, limit yourself like set a time when your going to get off and go do something else. Force yourself to leave the comp desk. LOL this is awsome!!!

It is very addicting lol. I'm sittin on my ass playing poker most of the time anyway. But that's a whole different story...

hah yea i used to have a way worse online poker habit than my RIU forum 'addiction'

Oh it's way beyond a habit lol. But al least I've gotten good enough to profit from it.

no harm no foul, just give yourself a reasonable allocated amount of time per day you allow yourself on here and be strict. I mean damn dont lose sleep over it,lol or forget to shower geeez. As far as social life goes, you will probably get more mental stimulas here then at any friends house or bar....CHEERS

i think its going to be okay

Is this the RIU A meeting? I'm also addicted to this site.

I don't know why my family doesn't like me eating dinner here at the computer......sigh.

whats more social then RIU? haha yeh I definately have a problem when it comes to producing drugs, it just kind of runs thru my head constantly, since i cant grow bud atm I've been looking into the mushroom thing ^^
