I had to shut HubPages off for a couple hours to get some other work done and I swear I was suffering withdrawls.
Oh well Im back now so all is good lol
But I better get to work on some hubs
Cheers
HP addiction is well known around here. I'm opening a rehab center. $10K a pop and everyone who pays in advance gets a free Big Book.
Lol. I had to get into some self healing techniques.
Well my hands were shaking
I was seeing little white specks in front of me with the word forum in them
My mouth was dry
i was hearing voices inside my head. (profile,my account)
Couldnt think of anything else.
The kicker was when my family found me curled up in a ball in the corner of my office and all I could say was Hubtivity over and over and over
Thats when I knew I needed help
Lol
tell me about it. The more friends you make the more time you send on here...
LOL I feel for you Dale, but we are all in the same hospital. Welcome to the room
Yeah, had to shut down too just to get work done around the house this weekend. Painted the living room, set new tile around the fireplace, went shopping for the first floor bathroom renovation, and managed new tires on my bike. Needed to get the bike up to start exercising from sitting too long in front of the laptop.....
Oooooh, thanks Misha! So that's why my walls are are white and soft (wait a minute...they're padded )- and I thought it was just the new wallpaper we ordered for the renovations...
I too made the same mistake but after the fine medicine they gave me all is gooood now !!
I've only just started out here but I can see how it can get to be really addictive. We might have to start a hubpages anonymous group.
Oh, Hubaholics Anonymous is already well established here. I've lost count of how many admitted Hub Addicts we have -- but I do see a disturbing trend. Newbies seem to be coming in and getting addicted faster and faster. I wonder why that is?
Pam -- Can I help you run the rehab? With your banking background you should be the administrative director. I'll be intake counselor. Might need some help, tho. Let's see who else volunteers:-).
Am I too late for meds? I was having trouble with the straight jacket...damn...I miss all the fun lol
Enelle, sorry, but we're waiting for our resident nursing professional AEvans. She is the only one licensed to dispense drugs.
I believe the next med call will be at 8pm.
Which would you prefer -- Thorazine or Librium?
um...one of each to start? And the line forms behind ....lol I missed the first call...

I just had a little nap. they said the voices would go away but as soon as i got up I could hear them again.
It keeps drawing me in, I thought addiction but now Im thinking a poltergeist or something.
There are bondage savages here everyday I am tied up in here can't escape.
I would like thorazine at next med call, I was accidentally given that one time by a nurse and I lost 3 days out of my life. I guess it is time for a vacation again.

Breaking the hubpages habit is really easy. I've done it hundreds of times!
Q.
Are you kidding me! I have HubPages on my mobile. I could be at a movie location or somewhere and I'm posting in a forum. Or here's this madman stuff that happened. On a Sunday, this guest speaker was preaching this really boring sermon - I hate saying a sermon is boring, but this one really was, and this dude was really hammering the boringness in, driving everyone to sleep like mad. And just to save myself, you know before I fall on the floor and start dozing the hell off, I pull out my cell phone joined the religion forum and started typing away right inside the church. If that isn't addiction, NOTHING IS!
Hi fiery at least you still go to church...... so you are addicted to , it is quite a harmless addiction though eh???
HA HA HA no, realy, i thought i was loosing my mind when, last night, hub ideas woke me up. I couldnt stop thinking of things to write about, and now Im here, and cant get out of the darned forums!!! AAAAAA
in my humble opinion, you make a valuable contribution to hub pages, always did and I hope always will do....

Do you find yourself spending many hours on hubpages instead of something else?Are you so consumed that your work is not getting done in other areas of your life? It is a bit addicting!

Can you ever spend too much time on Hubpages?I haven't been writing Hubs in quite some time. Yet, reading the works of all these fine authors, I've been stuck on the computer for over an hour. I would love to read what others have to say about the value of spending their time on Hubpages just...

Hello everyone, I am RJ. I have been a member of hubpages for three years now but it's been an on again, off again relationship so far. I have also been very inconsistent with my hubs. And this is the first time I am posting on the forum. Well, not exactly, because I replied to one forum post...
